VH1's Love and Hip Hop star and Rapper Remy Ma (real name Reminisce Smith) is about 6 months along in her first pregnancy with husband Shamele "Papoose" Mackie.
However, the pretty cocoa-complexioned vixen and business woman has not yet "popped", if you will, and is sporting still a pretty chic and sveltish figure in her cute collection of clothing.
Judging from the pics the Dark and Lovely spokeswoman and brand ambassador has posted on her social media pages, you can barely tell that she and her hubby of 10 years will be welcoming their first child by year's end.
They suffered a very much public miscarriage and since she became pregnant, Papoose has had a hard time containing his excitement about becoming a parent.
The couple announce the baby news to guests attending their garden vow renewal ceremony earlier this year.
Remy Ma already has a 17-year old son Jace from a previous relationship and Papoose has a daughter 13-year old Dejanae Mackie.bellyitchblog.com+1 more Over 9 million people have enjoyed Bellyitch's Award-winning Celeb "bumpwatch" pregnancy and parenting blog.

Research Councils UK
The RCUK Knowledge Transfer Portal offers a single point of access for business to find out about Research Council knowledge transfer schemes and activities, and how to get involved. You will find links to Research Council funding opportunities, current events, networks, and training courses. Some examples of the schemes offered by the Research Councils to aid in transferring good ideas, research results and skills between industry and academia are listed below.
Collaborative Research Grants
Collaborative Research Grants are grants led by academic researchers, but involve other partners. Partners generally contribute either cash or 'in-kind' services to the full economic cost of the research. Research Councils support collaborative research through a variety of mechanisms, including schemes specifically aimed at encouraging academic collaboration with industry.
Industrial CASE Awards
Industrial CASE are three and a half year postgraduate awards allocated to companies either directly or through agents (Knowledge Transfer Networks). The aim of the awards is to enable companies to take the lead in defining, and arranging, projects, with an academic partner of their choice.
Link & Industrial Partnership Awards
LINK applications involve collaborative research with at least one company and one science-base partner (projects with SMEs are particularly favoured) where at least 50% of the cost of the project comes from industry. Applications should be for pre-competitive research that would not be undertaken in this form without LINK support. LINK projects are normally funded in preference to standard grants of equivalent scientific merit. Benefits for company partners include:
- financial support for the project
- closer relationships with the science base
- possibility of recruiting appropriately trained staff at the end of the project
Industrial partnership award are Science-led grants where an industrial partner contributes in cash at least 10% of the cost of the project.
Flexible Interchange programme
BBSRC's FLexible Interchange Programme (FLIP) supports the movement of people from one environment to a different one to exchange knowledge/technology/skills, developing bioscience research/researchers and addressing our strategic priorities. FLIP awards provide flexible opportunities for individuals ("the interchangers") moving between different organisations, disciplines and sectors at all stages in their career beyond the PhD (or equivalent). Awards will typically:
- last up to 24 months
- cost up to £150k in total
- be undertaken on a full-time, part-time or intermittent basis
- cover a contribution to the salary of the interchangers, reasonable travel and subsistence and costs associated with the interchange
Business & Industry Fellowships
The scheme aims to:
- Enhance knowledge transfer in science and technology between those in industry and those in academia.
- Provide opportunities for an academic scientist to work on a collaborative project with industry.
- Provide opportunities for someone employed in industry to work on a collaborative project with a university department or a not-for-profit research organisation. It is anticipated that fellows will establish personal and corporate links between the 2 sectors in the UK as a foundation for their long-term future development. Fellowships can run for 2 years full time, or up to 4 years part-time, where fellows maintain a working relationship with their home institution throughout. During the length of the fellowship the fellow remains employed with their home institution with salary costs covered by the fellowship. Research expenses may also be claimed up to the value of £2000 per year.
Advanced Training Partnerships
Advanced Training Partnerships (ATPs) offer postgraduate level training to employees working in UK agri-food industries. ATPs were developed in response to domestic and global pressures on food production systems, recognising that investment in high-level skills training will support the UK agri-food sector to respond resiliently to food security challenges.
Follow-on Funding
Enables researchers to develop the outputs from existing research in order to achieve significant economic, social and/or cultural impact. Follow-on funding can be suitable for early stage 'proof-of-concept' investigations or the translation of research into practice. The aim of the programme is to help researchers maximise the societal and economic benefits of their research.

AMD R9 290X Review
3D Mark 11
Published: 24th October 2013 | Source: AMD | Price: from £449 |
3D Mark 11
3D Mark 11 has always preferred the shader rich Radeon cards and, in the Performance test at least, continues to do so with the R9 290X. In the Extreme preset the GTX780s have the match of it, with anywhere between 60 and 350 points difference in the nVidia cards favour.

Hey guys I'm new to this forum and motorcycles in general. I have no experience working on bikes or cars but decided to buy a cb650 and start working on it. I feel like i did over pay a little for $650 on the bike and bought it on a whim. Let me know what you think.
Here's what i know about it. I bought it from a guy who planned to make it into a cafe racer. He bought it from his best friends dad, who regularly maintained and rode it. The bike has 15,000 miles. It said for about 10 years. The oil in it is clean, the front and rear brakes work. SUPPOSEDLY the bike was running a few months ago for a little bit before he took some parts off to turn it into a cafe racer. The guy said the person before him stored in properly with clean oil. He is now moving and has to get rid of the bike. All the electrical is original on the bike and all intact and apparently works. The plugs are also supposedly still good. It doesn't seem like the bike was dropped. Pretty much everything is there except the side covers. I have the factory airbox to go with a new carb uninstalled. The carb does need to be polished, but he said that it does not need torn down and cleaned. I have not seen it run nor have I put a battery in it yet to check the electrical.
The head gasket looks usable and somewhat new. Doesn't look like oil is leaking. The carb boots also look like their in good condition.
So i plan to
- clean the tank of the minor rust.
- run new fuel lines and maybe install a inline filter?
- Put new oil and filter
- Install carbs.
I was going to check valve clearance but he said that i wont need to.
Is there anything else i should do before trying to fire this bike up again?

Re: New Cb650 project
Clean the tank and carbs see if it runs. Looks mostly complete. After that it depends on your intentions for it. Unless some one already did the topend gaskets it will start leaking. Looks like it has 900 F shocks on it.
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!

the inquirer quotes sources as talking about a licensing squabble between intel and microsoft over symmetric multithreading (smt). smt is a technology intel and others are working on that would allow a single processor to appear as two chips to an operating system. microsoft currently charges about $100 extra for their windows xp pro operating system that can use up to two processors. the windows xp home os can only handle one. put two smt chips in a workstation and you have what looks like four processors, requiring the use of windows 2000 server (at least until xp server arrives). microsoft is not alone with this issue. many companies charge by the cpu for licenses, and if the os is seeing 2x the amount of cpus that is going to cause a lot of issues for licensing and screw with many companies' revenue streams. it will be interesting to see how this plays out, as microsoft will certainly lead the market by example. hopefully intel will continue to push ahead with smt no matter what. i don't expect microsoft to take a hard stand against it, as that would be just too good for their competition.
user comments 21 comment(s)
|smt and pricing (2:18pm est mon nov 19 2001)
about the dumbest thing i have ever seen is the idea that is you have 2 cpu's a software company can charge you for additional licenses. what a load of b$!!! in either state there is only one computer system involved. charging for each box is smart, but for each cpu in each box? asinine!
btw, this is no big shock for an os, however, as it really does take more to write the software to take advantage of each cpu, but to charge for 2 licenses because of an additional cpu? once again, asinine!
– by pcglow
|pcglow (2:25pm est mon nov 19 2001)
i was not under the impression that they charge for more lisences…
the impression is that there is a difference in what os must be used to take advantage of multiple processors.
home: 1
that is the issue at hand…
if you have a single smt processor would the user be required to use professional to take advantage of that? if you had a dual smt system would you need to run win2k server?
– by manu
|the answer is linux (3:59pm est mon nov 19 2001)
you can run linux on as many cpu's as you want, cluster it, multi-cluster it, i don't care…
the point is, why pay ms for bloatware when you can get better stability and useability on as many cpu's as you want for a tiny percentage of the cost??
just say no to bloatware and nagware.
– by the scavenger
|scav… (5:49pm est mon nov 19 2001)
im and avid linux fan, and i run mandrake at home in addition to windows…
software, useability, hardware and ease of use. until these issues are resolved linux will be a go no where os for home users.
why was mac so 'easy' to use in the early days? the lack of a command prompt. plain and simple. without needing to think about command lines, black screens with white text, and having pretty little pictures for people to use, the masses were happy.
unfortunately that presents an interesting problem for linux afficionados. we want our os to take off…yet we'd hate to see linux minus a console… – by manu
|thus do you want a bloatinux, manu? (6:43pm est mon nov 19 2001)
i luv linux, no matter redhat, mandrake or source-done linux, linux is more than just a software distribution :) .
about dual smt cpus, maybe there's no monumental performance increase overall, such as issues between cpus due asynchronous software execution and the fact one cpu carries the work of two cpus.
|askheart (7:24pm est mon nov 19 2001)
i do not want a bloated linux at all! but, if linux is going to take off as a consumer/home product it needs some distros which are bloated… – by manu
|askheart (9:11pm est mon nov 19 2001)
the issue with smt or multiprocessing in general is not performance increase – it's bandwidth, plain and simple. the misnomer is that if i have 2 cpus or 4 cpus in my box, that somehow my applications should run 2x or 4x faster.
truth of the matter is, what you are seeing is the offloading of os and i/o calls from the application cpu, so you are getting the full numbers of cycles devoted to the application. what you really get with x number of cpus is bandwidth to run up to x more applications without the performance of the box slowing down significantly.
– by amusedoldhack
|licensing stuff (11:00pm est mon nov 19 2001)
whether microsoft should or should not profit more from more cpus is up for debate. one thing that many small software vendors do that make server-ish software is to charge licensing fees based on how big a box their software is installed on. some larger companies do this also. the problem is that this gets skewed if windows xp shows two cpus but there's really only one in the box. that's what a lot of the argumement between intel / microsoft is about, surely. – by robgeek
|the fact that the department… (1:12am est tue nov 20 2001)
…of injustice allows a monopoly like microsoft to get away with crap like this is crime in of itself. – by urgeek
|another way to describe smt is… (1:17am est tue nov 20 2001)
not so much the cpu being seen as two cpu's, but its the ability for a cpu to perform two calculations at the same time, insted of what happens currently where the cpu can only perform one calculation at a time.
think of the cpu like a factory, insted of the factoy only capable of building car type a on monday, wednesday, friday and car type b on tuesday, monday, saturday, the factory now using smt will now be abel to build both types of cars at the same time monday to saturday. – by synonymous
|whoops! (1:19am est tue nov 20 2001)
thats tuesday, thursday, saturday… – by synonymous
|you're right, amusedoldhack however… (2:51am est tue nov 20 2001)
multi-processing plays hard w/ memory bandwidth, granted.
anyway mp is very execution-sensitive, given the facts:
– in a pipeline, the if-then-else conditions must be verified to validate a instruction process, in case of it isn't becoming valid occurs a pipeline stall.
|pricing & cpu's (11:24am est tue nov 20 2001)
i fail to see why this is an issue. ms want more money because the cpu appear to be 2 cpu's. oh please! why don't we just count the number of cpu's in the computer? what does it matter what kind of tricks the cpu uses to fool the os to think there are more than one cpu present?
well, i run linux mostly, so this doesn't affect me. 1-64cpu's = same price – by janne
|yeah, linux is the solution (12:41pm est tue nov 20 2001)
nothing for a perpetual beta os that does somethings good, but most things lousy, and nothing well.
yeah, i'm going to download it right now and forget about all the features, games, multimedia, and software available for windows just because i don't like the fact ms charges more for multi processor systems.
– by f*cking linux losers
|bad hair day? (1:51pm est tue nov 20 2001)
someone is having a bad hair day. maybe it's an everyday thing for microsoft shareholders?
once again, missing the point, as are others. let's state this again in very simple terms:
1. an intel smt processor will show up as two processors in a windows os – by design.
2. microsoft and intel are trying to figure out what to do about that. microsoft doesn't want intel to do something that will disrupt their licensing and that of other software companies that rely on microsoft's oss to report a cpu number.
– by kirk
|manu uses mandrake? (5:13pm est tue nov 20 2001)
manu, are you planning to run a quad or more cpu machine at home? because, i don't think this article applies to you.
mandrake, while still a great linux distro, is not a server distro. and we're talking about servers here. if you want to setup a 64 processor beowulf cluster for your q3a server, then fine, go ahead. (send me the ip address too!!! and i'll bring my shock rifle)
– by the scavenger
|after rereading (5:21pm est tue nov 20 2001)
all the posts here, most of you completely miss the point just like manu.
we're not talking about desktop systems!! geez, people. how many of you have multi-processor machines at home? sure, some of you might have dual-machines, but you're probably running windows98 on them too. ha ha
multi-cpu systems are servers! you don't play games, listen to music, watch dvd's and other things on servers. you can if you want, but thats not what they're designed for. servers need non-bloated os's with particular missions in mind.
if ms wants to charge for a 2-n-1 chip like its 2 cpus, fine let them. one, of two things will happen:
1. people will like these chips enough to seek alternative os's.
2. intel will drop it because noone will buy it because they've alll been assimilated into the ms collective.

|smt will be in all intel chips in 2003 (1:48am est wed nov 21 2001)
thats there goal the p4 core has 1/3 of the extra in it already for hyperthreading (intels catch word for smt) so intel is addressing this issue now, because xeon will get ht next year between 1-3q. so we will know what it does for work stations to get an idea of what it can do in a home pc.
see this is why the p4 is a major dog right now, intel knows the only way they are going to beat amd by any margin is going to 2 in 1 chips. that why smt is huge to intel.
as of now name one x86 chip that can match the athlons xp clock for clock, that can be clocked that high? nothing.
thats why intel is trying to keep the p4 within 10% of the xp, if they can run 2 threads at once at 10% slower than the xp, the xp doesnt have a chance. – by nataku

"after rereading
all the posts here, most of you completely miss the point just like manu.
we're not talking about desktop systems!! geez, people. how many of you have multi-processor machines at home? sure, some of you might have dual-machines, but you're probably running windows98 on them too. ha ha
multi-cpu systems are servers! you don't play games, listen to music, watch dvd's and other things on servers. you can if you want, but thats not what they're designed for. servers need non-bloated os's with particular missions in mind.
if ms wants to charge for a 2-n-1 chip like its 2 cpus, fine let them. one, of two things will happen:
1. people will like these chips enough to seek alternative os's.

When the current state highway numbering system was first posted in January 1964, US 10 functioned as SR 10. US 10 started in Seattle at Jct US 99 and headed east via Snoqualmie Pass and Spokane, crossing into Idaho about 300 miles east of Seattle. I-90 has replaced US 10 as the most important east-west route across the state. US 10 was decertified as a US highway from Seattle to Spokane in 19690 and from Spokane to Coeur d'Alene Idaho in 1975.
State Route 10, part of former US 10, starts at Jct SR 970 at Teanaway near Cle Elum and heads ESE along the north side of the Yakima River to Jct US 97 near Ellensburg. The mileposts on SR 10 are based on those from old US 10 originating in Seattle. SR 10 is 16.16 miles long.

Born 25 August 1951, in Sutton Coldfield, Robert John Arthur 'Rob' Halford lived his early youth at his parents' home in Kelvin Road on the Beechdale Estate, Bloxwich. He attended Hatherton Lane Infants School from 1956, moving to the Junior School when it opened in 1960.
His childhood friend Tony Cooley recalls that at junior school Rob, who later became world-famous for his extraordinarily powerful and wide-ranging voice, was a good singer. He always featured in the nativity play, usually as one of the three kings, and Tony recalls seeing him made up with a deep tan and drawn-on Fu Manchu moustache, no doubt predicting his future in the entertainment business!
and sang in the school service at All Saints Church, Bloxwich.
worked for gent's outfitters Harry Fenton in Digbeth, Walsall. He eventually left to join a band, which was the real beginning of his musical career.
especially Rob Halford, had defined the black leather and studs look of classic heavy metal.
The 90s saw a change in musical style and look for Priest and Halford. The Painkiller album (1990) mostly dropped 1980s-style synthesizers, and Halford emerged with all-new tattoos, and began shaving his head.
But disaster struck during the 1991 Painkiller tour, at a show in Toronto, when Rob rode a Harley-Davidson motorcycle onstage, dressed in leathers. Colliding with a half-raised drum riser he fell off, breaking his nose. Regaining consciousness, Rob returned and performed the whole concert. But the accident, according to some sources, caused a rift between him and the band.
In 1998, Rob Halford 'came out' publicly as being gay on an interview with MTV News. He was now not only the "metal god" but a gay icon. Hiding his sexuality during Priest's career apparently caused him depression and isolation, leading to alcohol and drug abuse. But he has been clean and sober since going to rehab in 1986, stating that his Christian upbringing has since become even more important to him.
owns a home in Walsall, being proud of his roots here, including his accent!
Although Rob will continue his own music, and the band say they will still undertake a new album and the occasional live show, this year marks the end of a remarkable era as Judas Priest embark upon their 'Epitaph' tour – their last ever world tour.

Mega Cap
What it is:
Mega cap is a designation for any company with a market capitalization in excess of $200 billion.
How it works (Example):
The largest companies in the world are referred to as mega caps because of their relative market size and value.
Any company worth more than $200 billion generally qualifies as a mega-cap company. Microsoft, Exxon and Wal-Mart are examples of mega-cap companies. Since market capitalization fluctuates with the company's stock price, companies can fall in and out of the mega cap classification.
Why it Matters:
Due to their size and market value, mega-cap companies are market leaders and wield considerable influence on the direction of their respective market sectors in terms of both their products and their financials. Classifications such as mega cap can change over time.

HTC Salsa versus Samsung Galaxy SL i9003
Demands of smartphones are increasing day by day. Because, everyone wants to experiences the smart mobile technology. Recently, many smartphones has approached to the market by leading brands such as HTC, Samsung, Apple and Dell. Few days before, a smartphone was launched by HTC, i.e. HTC Salsa. This smartphone is affecting the sales of other smartphones as Samsung Galaxy SL i9003. This is our report of the HTC Salsa versus Samsung Galaxy SL i9003, compared side-by-side.
Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 was launched earlier as compare to HTC Salsa. If we compare these smartphones, then we will find many differences such as hardware and software configuration and in other features. Galaxy SL leads in hardware configuration with respect to HTC Salsa. HTC Salsa consists of 800MHz processor and 512MB of RAM. It has 512MB of inbuilt storage memory. Galaxy SL i9003 consists of 1Ghz Cortex A8 processor and 478MB of RAM. It has 16GB of inbuilt storage memory. In both phones, the secondary memory can be expended up to 32GB with the help of microSD card. But in software configuration, HTC Salsa is verdict as it contains Android OS v2.4 (Gingerbread) whereas, Galaxy SL has Android OS v2.2 (Froyo).
HTC Salsa weighs 120g and has dimension of 109.1×58.9×12.3mm, whereas Galaxy SL weighs around 131g and has dimension of 123.7×64.2×10.6mm. Hence, HTC Salsa is a lighter and shinier phone as compare to Galaxy SL i9003.
In comparison of display, Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 is verdict because it has 4inches (480×800 pixels, 16M colors) SC-LCD capacitive touchscreen, whereas HTC Salsa has 3.4inches (320×480 pixels, 256K) TFT capacitive touchscreen.
In camera comparison, there is a draw in-between both phones because both phones contain 5MP camera with autofocus and LED flash. But however, camera in Galaxy SL i9003 has more features such as face and smile detection technology.
In price comparison, verdict is Galaxy SL i9003 because it is bit cheaper as compare to Salsa. Also, Galaxy SL leads in battery performance. If we compare rest of features such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3G network spectrum capabilities, then there will be a tie.

i'll make it to the moon if i have to crawl
"The thing I love about the Peppers is that the music is so happy but at the same time it's hardcore — it's hardcore happiness. 'Cause you know, they sing about a happy that you have to be sad to get there. So when Anthony sings about 'taking it on the other side,' you know that motherf*cker was on the other side. When they sing 'Scar Tissue,' you know they got scars."
— Chris Rock, inducting the RHCP into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
When the darkness within you isn't leading you to the light, at least be thankful that it's led you to good music. Good, heavy rock music. It heals.
For the last fourteen days, it's been the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The whole damn discography, from Freaky Styley to the golden-era of John Frusciante to the most recent The Getaway. And shit, I think it just might have changed my life. I am not kidding.
I've known them for a good fraction of my post-adolescence - always hearing them on the radio, or on the bus, or in someone's car - but they never really spoke to me until now. Holy Mercury in retrogade, I am grateful. Truly effin' grateful.
P.S. After all these years, "Dani California" is still my favorite. "Scar Tissue" and "The Zephyr Song" are now tied in second. "Under the Bridge" comes a close third. But man the guitar riffs in "BSSM" deserve a spot too.

So, I've tried watching IS and I've already dropped it. I was skeptical, since it smelled like harem, but the animation lookes nice, so I gave it a try. To be fair: the animation really is nice, but that's pretty much all there is. A piece of shit is still a piece of shit, even if it's wrapped in colorful gift wrap paper.
The main problem I have is the harem. I'm female, if it comes down to it the only harem I can somehow enjoy would be a reverse harem. Most typical harem-anime are so boring and, from my point of view, there's no point. You have the stereotypical normal boy who somehow gets a bunch of sexy girls being totally crazy over him.
Why? Well, because. That's exactly what I don't like: there's no fucking reason. I understand this genre is meant to be watched by male audience and the main character is supposed to be normal, so that the otaku-audience can relate to him and be happy there are so many sexy girls. I don't expect an anime to be realistic, that would be… well a bit too naive, but especially school harems are set in a more or less normal environment. Add the normal male protagonist who's probably even an outcast and has obvious flaws (e.g. a klutz) and you get a somehwhat realistic setting. Somewhat! Well, and then there are the girls and those bitches usually act totally over the top and not the slightest bit comprehensible.
You know, this is most likely just my own way of seeing this, because I'm female and those animes are animed for males. I guess those males aren't interest in a somewhat logical behavior, because… hot chicks. *fap fap fap* <- something like that? It's pissing me off so much.
Back to IS: I had the feeling it will turn into a harem, but I hoped the mecha-part would be dominant and I could enjoy the action. The first episode was bearable, the first girl was introduced (childhood friend) and the male protagonist seemed like he could actually funktion as a character who's not a klutz but someone who's actually able to pull something off worth admiring. After all, he's the only male who can fly an IS, so he's something very special and it's not that unsual to look up to someone like this. Too bad he's a klutz. -__-
In the second episode he actually made a pretty good impressing in his IS and the way he was holding down a much more experienced opponent. Too bad at the very beginning of episode 3, he seemed to have lost all his ability over night and behaved like the complete noob he is. *sigh* In addition to that the british girl he fought pretty much despised him, but after her close win she suddenly wanted to rape him as soon as possible.
That's harem-behavior for you. It's completely reasonable she's impressed by his ability although he's inexperienced, but that's not a reason for her to suddenly try to get him into her bedroom and have a nice fuck. *facepalm* Now that's a radical change of mind here. And it's bullshit.
You know, the first two minutes of episode 3 made me nearly puke due to it's shittyness. Episode 1 was ok, episode 2 gave me a neat animated action-sequence, episode 3 made me sick even bevore the opening began to play.
It could've been different than the usual harem, but it's not. It's just a shitty harem excuse for a mecha-anime and that's it. I didn't even watched the rest of episode 3, I instantly dropped it. No need to watch this crap.

Potomac Products Health Line Vitamins Review
My family and I eat as healthy a diet as possible and include a variety of natural vitamins and dietary supplements on a daily basis.
I recently discovered a private label vitamin and nutritional supplement distributor, Potomac Health which offers 100% natural vitamins, herbal supplements and dietary supplements. I learned that this company was developed by a Radiation Oncologist who is a proponent of preventative medicine. This meshes perfectly with my philosophy that the best approach to keeping my family healthy is to have a solid preventative foundation in place.
There are several vitamins and dietary supplements that my various members of my family and I are using currently including Joint Health, Antioxidant, Cleanse, Multivitamin, Brain Support and Omega-3 and Prostate.
My 40 year old husband is currently using the Prostate ($3.89/60 count) formula which contains zinc, manganese and copper to support men's health needs. He also has a chronic shoulder deformity which has caused significant joint degeneration so he is using the Joint Health ($6.27/60 count) with Chondroitin, Glucosamine and Vitamin D3. He prefers this formula to his pervious brand because he only has to take two tablets in the morning instead of six tablets.
At least three times a year, I like to complete a body cleanse and therefore, I used the Cleanse formula from Potomac Products. It is designed to help "naturally eliminate waste products" using Psyllium powder, Slippery Elm Bark, Aloe Vera Lear Powder, Acai Berry, Black Walnut Hulls Powder, Ginger Root and other quality ingredients. I like that it worked without causing any abdominal discomfort such as major bloating, gas etc.
I am also using the Antioxidant ($5.03/60) formula with Green Tea, Acai Berry, Hawthorne Berry (a personal favorite), Goji Berry, Pomegranate and more natural ingredients. My father recently passed away from cancer as did another close family member so I am very conscious of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and both natural antioxidants from food and in supplement form is one way that I am doing all that I can to have a strong immune system.
I really like the Multivitamin ($3.55/30) because it contains 100% of the RDA of the vitamins and minerals as opposed to mega-doses which I try to avoid. Both my husband and I take this every morning after breakfast and I do not have any problems such as nausea. As a bonus, a serving is only one caplet!
The Brain Support ($4.85/60) is designed to help support "mental alertness" (which I definitely could use) and I do notice a difference after taking this product once a day in the morning after breakfast for two weeks.
Finally, one supplement that I highly recommend personally for my entire family is a good quality Omega. The Omega-3 ($6.50/60) product contains fish oil fatty acids. I didn't notice any of the unpleasant side effects of use that I have with other brands i.e. the dreaded fish aftertaste.
I am very surprised at the low pricing of the vitamins and dietary/herbal supplements available at Potomac Products Health Line. All of the vitamins and supplements from this review are currently available for purchase online at the Potomac Products website and you are invited to browse the entire product line.
Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample of the product for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.

The Orioles switched their lineup after batting practice, scratching designated hitter and eighth batter Chris Dickerson. He was replaced with Nolan Reimold, who will bat ninth Wednesday against the Texas Rangers.
Brian Roberts was moved up from ninth to eighth.
Less than an hour before game time, the Orioles have not given a reason for why Dickerson was scratched.
Some other notes:
Lefty Zach Britton, who started Tuesday, and Kevin Gausman, who followed Britton in relief, were sent down to Triple-A together after last night's loss to the Texas Rangers. They will share a workday at Norfolk and then both pitch in the Tides' final game before the break on...

Not going to lie it was pretty cool, there really was no better feeling than this giant hot tub. Whole place is set up like a giant attraction with lunch and drinks included in the mix, so granted they have you locked in. Just be prepared to pass out on the bus ride back to Reykjavik. Next up was Kex Hostel, easily one of the coolest bars we went to, with an incredibly cool set up ready for anyone and everyone to spend their day there. We headed back to Dillons, a whiskey bar in the heart of downtown, and made friends with our bartender...a transplant from Stockholm. Really he looked like the Swedish Gronk, a bit tamer, but could definitely keep you entertained for hours. Final stop was at Lebowskibar, and yes it themed completely after the movie; art on the walls, scenes on the tv, posters, drink and food names etc. Amsterdam we are coming from you next.

Synthetic biologists have discovered that six other molecules can could store genetic information and pass it on. A host of alternative nucleic acids have been made in labs over the years, but no one has made them work like DNA. Until now, everyone thought we were limited to RNA and DNA. This is the first time artificial molecules have been made to pass genes on to their descendants. The finding is a proof of principle that life needn't be based on DNA and RNA.
The ability to copy information from one molecule to another is fundamental to all life. Organisms pass their genes to their descendants, often with small changes, and as a result life can evolve over the generations. Barring a few exceptions, all known organisms use DNA as the information carrier."This unique ability of DNA and RNA to encode information can be implemented in other backbones," says Philipp Holliger of the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK.
Holliger's team focused on six XNAs (xeno-nucleic acids). DNA and RNA are made of a sugar, a phosphate and a base. The XNAs had different sugars, and in some of them the sugars are replaced with completely different molecules. Synthetic XNA, with its different sugar backbone to natural DNA, can mimic many of the properties of the real thing.
Holliger and his team engineered enzymes that helped the six types of XNA to assemble and replicate genetic messages. The enzymes transcribed DNA into the various XNAs, then back into new DNA strands — with 95% accuracy or more.
A major challenge for the team was to create enzymes that could copy a gene from a DNA molecule to an XNA molecule, and other enzymes that could copy it back into DNA. Once they had created these enzymes, they were able to store information in each of the XNAs, copy it to DNA, and copy it back into a new XNA. In effect, the first XNA passed its information on to the new one – albeit in a roundabout way. "The cycle we have is a bit like a retrovirus, which cycles between RNA and DNA," Holliger says. Because the XNAs can do this, they are capable of evolution.
Genetic transmission over successive DNA-to-XNA cycles allowed researchers to select for only those XNAs that attached to certain target proteins from a pool of random samples — a process akin to evolution over multiple generations.
"For the first time, this confirms that replication, heredity and evolution are possible in these alternative backbones," says Holliger.."This is very interesting with respect to the origin of life," says Jack Szostak of Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts. Many biologists suspect that the first life-forms used RNA, and DNA was adopted later. But we don't know why those two molecules were chosen: are they the best possible storage media, or were they simply the only things available?
Holliger suspects RNA was an opportunistic choice. "Clearly, there is no overwhelming functional imperative to use DNA and RNA," he says. Instead, life may have started with RNA simply because it was made in large quantities on the early Earth.
Most biologists think life on Earth began with RNA because it can both store information and catalyse useful reactions. In his latest experiment, Holliger has now shown that one of his XNA's – 1,5-anhydrohexitol nucleic acid, or HNA – can fold into a 3D shape and bind to specific target molecules. This is the first step in becoming an enzyme. The same thing had previously been done for threose nucleic acid (TNA).
This suggests XNAs might form the basis of life on other planets, where different environments led to different chemistry. "I would be surprised if we find truly extraterrestrial life that was based on DNA and RNA," Holliger says. "There might have been an XNA-world on a different planet."

每年11月初在英國, 可以看到許多街上的行人在胸前別着一朵小紅花, 甚至有些車的車頭也粘著小紅花。雖然知道這起源於記念一次世界大戰(結束於1918年11月11日11時)中犧牲的將士, 也曾在書中讀到關於戰爭的故事, 但佩戴小紅花的心情似乎距離我十分遙遠。一直到連續看到一位曾經參與二次世界大戰(1939~1945) 情報工作的長輩不厭其煩地每年配戴, 才開啓了我一探究竟的好奇心。
Every early November in Britain, many passengers, even cars, are seen wearing little red flowers on the streets. Although I am aware of it's origin being commemorating the sacrificed soldiers in WWI (ended 11 o'clock, 11th of November, 1918), not until I kept seeing someone I know wearing it year after year, I started feeling curious about it.
機緣巧合下, 我看了一集播出中的英國廣播公司國殤紀念日的特別節目, 其中, 一位九十歲的老先生, 述說他在二次大戰服役中倖存的心情。 比爾在戰時參與了皇家空軍的轟炸機指揮部, 身為轟炸機的後方射擊手, 他的任務是偵測及阻止敵機從後方攻擊, 後方射擊手的傷亡率很高, 出這個任務可能短則兩週就喪命。除了攻擊, 也包含了空投救援物資以及收集情報, 其中一項收集情報的方式是空投載有問卷的鴿子, 冀望牠們不要落入敵手, 而我方的朋友能填寫問卷後寄回。在一次出任務返回途中, 比爾的所搭轟炸機的機尾爆炸了, 飛機整個落入海中, 雖然比爾和同機大部分的人員生還, 但他卻只能看著機長以及一位情如兄弟的同袍呼喊著沈落大海, 卻絲毫使不上力… 戰後許多年, 他都仿佛一直聽到那呼喊聲在耳邊回響… 幾年前, 英國最後一位一戰生還者去世了, 再過一二十年, 也許像比爾一樣的二戰生還者也會逐漸隕落, 今日大多數沒有經歷過戰爭的普羅大眾, 會為了什麼目的而佩戴小紅花呢?國殤紀念日會不會變成只是軍事家鼓動大眾愛國情懷的工具呢?
Accidentally, I watched a BBC program about "Remembrance Day", in which, a 90 year old gentleman sharing his experience in WWII. Bill participated in the Bomber Command of Royal Air Force in the war. Acting as a rear gunner, his job was to detect and prevent the rear attach from the enemy. Rear gunners' life expectancy could be as short as two weeks. Apart from attacks, they also delivered supplies or collected information through dropping secret agents or message pigeons. Once on the return journey of a task, the back of their aircraft exploded and fell into the ocean. Bill and most of the crew survived, however, his best friend and the captain sunk into the deep water. Bill could still hear their screaming and feel the helplessness in his mind many years after the war. A couple of years ago, the last WWI survivor died. After ten, twenty years, the survivors from WWII, like Bill, will decease too. Will Remembrance Day become something that militarists uses to manipulate the patriotism of general public ?
一向有著反戰情結的我, 帶著質疑的心情, 來到了英國政府所在地的白廳(White Hall), 在這裡廣大的馬路上, 矗立着兩座戰爭紀念碑, 一座建於1920年, 碑面簡單地刻着『光榮的死者』; 另一座有著現代化的風格, 雕刻着戰時女性的裝束, 是專為紀念二次世界大戰中犧牲奉獻的女性而設計。就在紀念碑附近, 可以看到學校老師帶著學生, 解說著戰爭的歷史及國殤紀念日; 馬路的另一側, 有參與英軍作戰的廓爾喀人(來自印度及尼泊爾, 一支驍勇善戰的部族), 為爭取與英國籍軍人平等的退役權利而靜坐; 他們的隔壁, 則有絕食抗議斯里蘭卡種族屠殺, 陳請政府抵制即將在斯里蘭卡舉行的英聯邦集會; 當然, 更多的是警察、路人及觀光客。如此忙碌且時空交錯的情景, 帶給我一絲複雜的心情~
With an anti-war attitude and doubts, I cam to White Hall. Standing on the broad street are two war memorials. One built in 1920, on the cenotaph simply written "The Glorious Dead"; the other is a modern style sculpture of women's war time clothing symbolise the women in WWII. Near the memorials, there were teachers explaining the history of war to the students; Gurkha soldiers protesting for equal treatments as other British troops; and someone having a hunger strike urging the government to boycott the Common Wealth Meeting in Sri Lanka, whose purpose to denounce the massacre of Tamils conducted by the present Sri Lankan government…. Of course, there were no lack of police, passengers and tourists around. Such busy, mixed scene made me feel complicated….
臨近白廳的西敏寺大教堂周圍, 從1928年開始, 在國殤紀念日前後就會有一段時間設立『虞美人之原』, 讓民眾在草地上種下紀念的十字架。虞美人, 就是那小紅花的名字。以虞美人紀念戰爭犧牲者的起源, 來自於一位一戰軍醫所寫的詩– 在法蘭德斯戰場。這曾經戰況慘烈的戰場, 據說盛開著如士兵鮮血般鮮紅的虞美人花… 雖然西敏寺大教堂一年四季都充滿了觀光客, 當我站在虞美人之原, 卻自然而然升起一股莊嚴肅穆的心情, 那滿佈十字架與虞美人花的原野, 流動着無形的平靜能量。所有的十字架是如此地低, 不論是要種下十字架, 或只是想仔細端詳的人, 都必須彎下腰、低下頭- 在死者的面前,沒有誰比誰高人一等。現場有許多老年人尋找着親友所屬的戰時編制, 在他們的區域獻上緬懷之情, 也可以看到年輕媽媽帶著小孩進行追念。我留意到某一區的每個十字架都有照片,走近一看, 發現那是為最近幾年在阿富汗陣亡將士所設; 在那一區斜對面不遠處, 一群十字架中混雜着月亮及六角星,也許死者是回教徒或猶太人吧, 而他們所屬的區域是『情報單位』…
Not far from White Hall is another famous tourist attraction, Westminster Abbey. Since 1928, a "Poppy Fields" was set at the abbey's court yard for people to "plant" remembrance cross with poppy flowers. Poppy was first taken as a symbol of remembrance from a poem called "In Flanders Fields" written by a military doctor, John McCrae. The first line of the poem says " In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow between the crosses, row and row".Even though Westminster Abbey has always filled with tourists all year round, when I stood at the poppy fields, the busy atmosphere suddenly froze and on the fields, the energy of quietness and peace flew.
The crosses are so low that whoever wants to plant one or look at them has to lower their knees or bow down- nobody is higher than anyone in front of the dead. You can see old people trying to find the areas their friends belong to or young mothers bringing their kids to join this ceremony. I noticed that one area has got photos attached on all the crosses and discovered it was for the troops fighting in Afghanistan (very new…). Not far across this group, in the secret agent's zone, one can see some crescent moon and stars of David amongst many crosses. I guess they are probably to memorize muslim or Jewish people….
當另一半知道我拜訪了虞美人之原, 他從抽屜裡拿出了外祖父及叔公在戰後獲頒的勳章, 他說:『叔公從土耳其作戰回來後, 從沒提過戰爭的事, 他的勳章, 一次都沒佩戴過… 』 是的, 在英國大部分的家庭, 多少都有親友曾經經歷過兩次世界大戰。也許幸運地生在堪稱和平時代的我們, 不能體會他們當時所經歷或現在仍然經歷, 生離死別的種種; 雖然戰爭代表着人類的愚蠢, 然而, 沒有許多人在這樣極端狀況中發揮的智慧與勇氣, 今天的我會過著怎樣的生活呢?或許軍事家們確實汲汲營營地試圖操控大眾對戰爭榮耀的想象, 我的國殤紀念日小旅行, 卻帶給我謙卑及感恩。
Knowing I have visited the "Fields of Remembrance", my other half showed me the war medals of his grand father and grand uncle. He mentioned "Grand uncle never said a word about the war and never wore his medal ever since he came back from the fight in Turkey." Yes, many English family has connections with the two world wars. Born and living in this reasonably peaceful period, it might be difficult for the majority of us to feel how those experienced the war have suffered or are still suffering. Wars might have presented the stupidity of human beings. Militarists might be busy exemplifying the glory of wars. However, without the wisdom, courage and efforts that many people shown at such extreme conditions, what kind of live would I have been living today? My little trip of Remembrance Day has brought me a sense of humbleness and gratitude.

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Shelgon from the Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Set. Shelgon is a stage 1, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80. It has a x2 weakness to dragon type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost. Shelgon does not have an Ability but it does have two moves. The first move that this card has is called Knock Away, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 10 damage plus 20 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin. Shelgon's second move is called Rollout, this move requires three energy cards to use, one each of colorless, water, and fire, and does 50 damage.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Shelgon is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Bagon into play (I reviewed Bagon from this set yesterday) and then evolve Bagon into Shelgon. Shelgon does have a stage 2 evolution in Salamence that you'll probably want to use with this Pokemon line but since I haven't reviewed that card yet, the strategy below will act like Shelgon is the final evolution in this line. So if you read yesterday's review of Bagon, you'll know that I thought the card was a pretty solid starter Pokemon type card that could be used in a deck on its own, the only negatives about the card was its below average hp and the fact it required both water and fire type energy cards for one of its moves. So knowing that, and looking at this Shelgon card, I would actually recommend just using Bagon by itself or not use this line so far at all. I say this because not only is Shelgon's hp low like Bagon, but its retreat cost is quite high, so if you put this card into the active Pokemon spot you want to be able to do a fair amount of damage, but neither of the moves on this card can do that much damage, so for those reasons I wouldn't use this card without Salamence. Of course if you decide to use Bagon and Shelgon in a deck together, I would use a 2-1 line of those two Pokemon in a water and fire dual type deck and would use Rollout when I had the opportunity.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating. In my opinion this is a below average stage 1 Pokemon card. This card really isn't very good but since both moves this card has does do damage I am giving this card a 2 rating instead of a 1. Like I discussed in the strategy section of this post, Shelgon has too low of hp, too high of a retreat cost, and two below average moves for me to want to use this card in a deck. Overall, I wouldn't give the line of Bagon and Shelgon from the Plasma Blast set any higher than a 2 rating out of 5, Bagon is definitely the better card and should be used solely if you don't plan on using this line with Salamence.

Yesterday, I got back from the IV World Forum on Free Knowledge. It was an amazing experience. I had a good time even though I was part of the organizing committee 😉
People were really interested in the democratization of knowledge. Besides my participation as an organizer, I gave a talk on Free Science: Utopia or Reality?, I gave a tutorial on Image Analysis and I chaired a Panel Discussion Session on Intelectual Property in the XXI Century. Some time in the next couple of weeks, I will comment on my experience in the Forum. For now, I just want to comment that Perl was well represented in the Forum with three out of the seven tutorials that were offered "free of charge" having something to do with Perl. The three tutorials were:
- Introduction to Perl with Randal Schwartz
- Image Analysis with Lino Ramirez, and
- GUI Development with Perl with Alejandro Garrido

Federal disaster assistance is available through FEMA's Public Assistance (PA) Grant Program to help Louisiana communities in 11 parishes recover from the Jan. 8-17 severe storms and flooding.
Under the program, FEMA is providing supplemental financial assistance to the state, its agencies, local governments, and certain private nonprofit organizations, including electric cooperatives, for their eligible response and recovery expenses.
Although funds are awarded to government entities and nonprofits, the PA program is intended to benefit everyone — neighborhoods, cities, parishes and the states. PA dollars help clean up communities affected by disaster-related debris, repair the roads and bridges people use every day getting to work and school, put utilities and water systems back in order, repair hospitals and emergency services, rebuild schools and universities and restore playground equipment in public parks.
Following are some key facts, dates and deadlines for applicants seeking federal assistance as a result of Louisiana's January storms and flooding:
- President Obama issued a major disaster declaration on Feb. 22, making Public Assistance available to applicants in Acadia, Catahoula, Concordia, East Carroll, Evangeline, Franklin, Jefferson Davis, Livingston, Madison, St. Landry, and Vermilion parishes.
- PA applicants must file Requests for Public Assistance (RPAs) within 30 days of a Public Assistance disaster declaration.
- Although those affected by the Jan. 8-17 storms and tornadoes have until March 25 to submit RPAs, state/FEMA program specialists urge applicants to start the process now.
- The state of Louisiana, with FEMA support, held Applicant Briefings the week of March 5 throughout the disaster-affected areas to provide a general overview of the PA program and answer questions.
- FEMA/state PA program specialists are now meeting individually with applicants in Kick-Off Meetings to focus on their eligibility and requirements for documenting expenses for reimbursement.
- FEMA Public Assistance dollars come to Louisiana communities through a cost-sharing partnership among the state, the applicants and the federal government. FEMA reimburses applicants for 75 percent of their eligible costs, and the state and/or applicant cover the remaining 25 percent.
- FEMA obligates federal PA funds directly to the state, which disburses the money to the local jurisdictions and organizations that incurred costs.
- Emergency Work:
- Two types of work are eligible for reimbursement under the PA program:
- Removal and disposal of eligible disaster-related debris
- Emergency measures taken to protect lives and property ahead of and in the immediate aftermath of the storms and flooding.
- Permanent Repairs to:
- Roads and bridges
- Water control facilities
- Public buildings and equipment
- Public utilities
- Parks, recreational and other facilities
- To be eligible for FEMA reimbursement funding, applicants must complete their projects within the established time frame (unless extenuating circumstances exist).
- Emergency work must be completed within six months of the presidential disaster declaration.
- Permanent repair work must be completed within 18 months of the declaration.
- Types of entities that may be eligible for Public Assistance include:
- State governments and state agencies
- Local governments (towns, cities, counties) and special districts
- Federally recognized tribes
- Certain private nonprofit organizations providing services, such as:
- Critical services:
- Hospitals and other medical treatment
- Fire, police and other emergency services
- Power, water and sewer systems
- Educational institutions
- Libraries, museums and zoos
- Essential services**:
- Community centers
- Homeless shelters and rehabilitation facilities
- Senior citizen centers and day-care centers
**Private nonprofits that provide essential services are eligible for Public Assistance for emergency work. For permanent repairs, they must apply to the U.S. Small Business Administration for a low-interest disaster loan before applying to FEMA.

Blurb: a calendar explaining your baby's development based on 30 years of research. Talks about developmental 'leaps'; eg, leap 1 is a baby's senses becoming heightened outside the womb; leap 2 includes eyesight & hand recognition. The Wonder Weeks system uses by your due date rather than birth date so if your little one was prem or quite late, it doesn't affect the result as your baby's development won't have changed.
From the writers of the best selling book The Wonder Weeks
App Store: £1.49
Google Play: £1.25
Worth it? Every penny.
Thoughts: *****
Very clear, easy to understand & is spookily accurate. So much so, I'm convinced Baby Girl reads each leap ahead of time so she knows what to do & how to act. I cannot recommend this app enough.
The app charts how the leaps may affect your baby's mood – will they be overwhelmed? Or maybe they're happy as a clam because suddenly they can grasp that toy for themselves. You can also chart multiple babies at one time.
The Wonder Weeks have also introduced the Leap Alarm; an email service reminding you the week before your baby starts a leap.
You can read our full experience of The Wonder Weeks (so far) here or each leap specifically below:
Leap 4: Events
Leap 5: Relationships
Leap 6: Categories
Leap 7: Sequences, AKA a slap in the face
Leap 8: Programs
Leap 9: Principles
Leap 10: The World of Systems

About Us
FDA Tributes
Ken Russell (1927 -- 2011)
The eldest son of Ethel and Henry Russell, Henry Kenneth Alfred Russell was born on 3 July 1927 in Southampton, England. He died peacefully in his sleep on Sunday 27 November 2011. He was 84.
Having previously tried his hand at photography, dance and a short spell in the army, Ken Russell went on to become a film maker. In the post 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' era, Russell was never afraid to bring to the screen scenes which were often considered explicit or graphic in the 60s and 70s. In a career that started with arts documentaries for the BBC, Russell's first feature film in 1963, 'French Dressing' was critically and commercially unsuccessful. His second feature, 'Billion Dollar Brain' came in 1967 and starred Michael Caine. Russell's trademark style was already visible in the unusual camera angles and moving camera shots. British classics such as the ground breaking 'Women In Love' (1969) - for which he received a Best Director nomination alongside Glenda Jackson who took the Best Actress Award, 'The Devils' (1970) and the flamboyant film version of The Who's rock opera ,'Tommy' (1975) are the films for which Russell will best be remembered. He directed the then top model Twiggy in the comedy musical 'The Boy Friend' (1971), for which she won two Golden Globe Awards – Best Actress in a musical comedy and Best Newcomer. British talent such as Melvin Bragg, Oliver Reed and Glenda Jackson forged long and successful careers working with Russell in the early days of their chosen fields.
Over the next two decades, Russell had a brief spell in America before returning to the UK. Science fiction film 'Altered States' (1980) with William Hurt, Blair Brown and the film debut of a 5-years old Drew Barrymore, 'Crimes of Passion' (1984) starring Anthony Perkins and Kathleen Turner, 'Gothic' (1986) with Gabriel Byrne and 'The Lair of the White Worm' (1988) with Amanda Donohoe and Hugh Grant all capture the attention to detail and visual imagery that had become Russell's trademark.

[rewind] the imposter
Someone once told me we live our life around stories. The truth, and what I have come to grasp is that this world has the potential to be a great nightmare like the ones that keep us up at night.
This revelation occurred to me whilst watching The Imposter, a confronting documentary directed by Bart Layton that explores a conceptual theory of stolen identities, and how far people risk pushing the 'boundaries'. Released in 2012, this British documentary has received eleven awards and fourteen nominations proving this film to be more than worthwhile. Concerning the kidnapping of thirteen year old Nicholas Barclay living in Texas, 1994, it deals with the basis of this crime that became even bigger when one man with no connection whatsoever to this teenage boy, robbed him of his identity in an attempt to save his own.
What becomes so thought provoking is not the crime itself but Frédéric Bourdin, the Frenchman whom posed as Nicholas, and is known as today as 'The Chameleon' for the astonishing 500 false identities he was indicted for. From all these, one stood out from the rest and evoked a long exploration into the questionable life of the Barclay Family. With a focus on the perspective of Bourdin through the extensive use of interviews and dramatic reconstructions of the main events I was captivated by his story. The motives behind why he was driven to defy the law by pretending to be a missing sixteen year old American boy, when clearly he appeared to be a much older foreigner was oddly engaging.
To my disappointment instantaneously it is revealed that he is in fact the 'imposter', hence the title. I expected more of a build up to this and a mystery that the audience would have to uncover themselves. But then again having expectations of this documentary will mostly likely not be met, the storyline presents something so different, compelling and complex it leaves you questioning what you know about the world.
There are two sides to every lie. An interesting tag line from The Imposter attempting to foreshadow a story that takes an angle to it that is unheard of. What you may think is an investigation into the mind of a psychologically deranged man, and how he found his way into the life of a family that for three years mourned for a little boy proves to be more a discovery of the betrayal and deceit, that potentially lies beneath the innocence.
Every moment builds tension, asks the audience more questions and tells the truth of a story that had been waiting to be told. Confronted by the reality that it represents, we can't relate or sympathise with either Bourdin or the Barclay family; both are hiding something. I became stuck in argument with myself determining who was the bad guy, until I eventually realised that something was quite off about each person involved in the story because they said things the way they believed so and so happened. Where's the hard evidence?
We remain mystified by the disappearance of Nicholas Barclay, how one severe crime lead to the possible discovery of what happened to that boy who failed to return home. Or did he? Critics say the less you know about The Imposter beforehand the more of an experience can be taken from it and I agree – not knowing what I was in for I consider this one of the most successful modern documentaries in the past years. Whether you prefer fiction or real-life, this story is surreal. It will scare you, enrage you, confuse you and make you reconsider the people you think you know and opens your eyes to who they are pretending to be.

APERIODIC GEOMETRIC TESSELLATION from Monica
This is an aperiodic abstract geometric tessellation, in the style of Sir Roger Penrose, who popularized the technique amongst mathematics professors from the 1970s onward.
Monica's copy of it appears on the coverpage of a presentation Monica made about tessellation. You can see a discussion of this specific pattern and others
or a general discussion of Penrose (aperiodic) tessellations at Wikipedia.
Compare this abstract tessellation to Monica's "Flying Geese" tessellation

Church of Sweden, organizing a funeral
Funeral Service
A Funeral Ceremony that is led by a priest in a chapell or a church is called a funeral service.
It´s already paid for through the church fee and is therefor free if the dead person was a member of the swedish church.
Priest and time for funeral service is not neccessary to book through a undertaker.
after the ceremony the relatives and friends often gather to remember the dead in an memorial.
Funeral organisation
The Church of Sweden is the head of the funeral organisation in the whole country, exept in Stockholm and Tranås where the district is responsible for the organisation.
They are resposible for providing a graveyard, the cremation, the burial, and a location for the funeral ceremony. This is paid for with the funeralfee that everybody pays, wheter you´re a member in the church or not.
Funerals/year: ca 90 000.
Funerals according to the order of the Church of Sweden: ca 80%.
(jordbegravning) Burials: ca 24 000 (ca 120/day), ca 25 % of total burials
Thanksgiving service (tacksägelsegudstjänst)
One sunday after death a thanksgiving will take place in church for a member. The name of the deseased will be read in the end of the ordinary service and the assembly will gather in a short prayer while the church bells are ringing.
Differences between coffin grave, urn burial and memorial?(kistgrav, urngrav och minneslund?)
Coffin grave: non cremated body, and you rise a tombstone.Urn graves and memorials: body that has been cremated, the difference is that an urn grave is marked with a stone and while the memorial (minneslund) is anonymous.
if the body is going to be cremated, the coffin will be left in the church or chapell after the service. if the relatives want to carry out the coffin to a car, is that a service they have to be resposible and pay for. A funeral service can also be hold with an urn after the body has been cremated.Mainly when the death occured abroad.
A memorial is being held while waitin for a final clearence about a missing person. Can be held together for all missing after for example a catastrophe.
Also possible if the deseased not wanted a funeral service.
Farewell Service (Avskedsgudstjänst)
A farewell service can be held when a person is not found but has been declared dead Instead of a coffin or an urn there might be a picture of the deseased. the service is prepared by the relatives and a priest. Possible to have a tombstone even though there is no body.

Reinforce Cultural Identity
"In migration, death revitalizes a threat against a group maintenance that people constantly experience. It is therefore likely that a social group in exile will use funerary rituals in order to reinforce ethnic or cultural identity."
