Being English I wanted my American/English baby daughter to experience the wonders of Beatrix Potter, and all the beautiful characters she created. When these decals arrived I was actually surprised as they were better than I expected. The sizes were good, the transfers adhere very well but can be moved with ease, and the colors are vivid and eye catching. They have transformed by daughters nursery into a Beatrix Potter wonderland. I even placed an order for a second set!*Delivery was also prompt, and the decals arrived in flat card, very well protected :)
Nice product, excellent packaging

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the wall decals. Have used other types in the past that were of much poorer quality. Will use again.

15. Contacts and the Address Book
Outlook Web Access offers two places to look up email addresses: Contacts and the shared Global Address Book. All university members are listed in the Global Address Book, unless they have opted out. Contacts is a private list where you can store other contacts and Distribution Lists.
15.1. The Global Address Book
Advanced Search
button opens up a window where you can make different kinds of searches, such as searching for first or last name only, username
(here called alias), department or a combination of these.
15.2. Contacts
Contacts is your personal list of people you might want to contact. As well as email addresses, Outlook can store their postal address, telephone number, notes etc.
To view your contacts, click on
Contacts in the Navigation
Pane on the left-hand side of your browser. If you have not used Contacts
before, this will be empty: Figure 38, Contacts view before any contacts are added
15.2.1. Adding Contacts
To add a new contact, click
New. Enter their details, particularly
their email address, and then click
Save and Close (at the top of the
screen). See Figure 39, Create New Contact
The newly created contact should now be visible in your contacts: Figure 40, Contacts view with new entry
If someone has sent you a message, you can add them to your contacts directly.
Right-click on their name in the preview pane and choose
Add to
Contacts... (see Figure 41, Add sender to contacts).
15.2.2. Editing and Deleting Contacts
To add extra details, or to change existing information about a contact, double-click
on their name in your contacts list. This opens up the same screen as when you add a
new contact, but already filled in with their information. You can add, change, and
delete information as needed and then click
Save and Close to store
the information.
To delete a contact, select them in your contacts list and click the
Delete button (a black cross) at the top of the list. The contact
will be moved to your Deleted Items folder.
15.2.3. Using Contacts
Once you have created a contact, you may want to send an email or meeting request to them.
To send an email to one of your contacts, you can either select them in
Contacts, right-click, and choose
New Message (see
Figure 42, Compose a message to a contact), or simply add them to the
To: field
of any message (see 15.2.5. Message recipients).
For more information about address books, including details of how to import your existing address book, please see Contacts.
15.2.4. Distribution Lists
A distribution list is a way of grouping contacts together so that you can send messages to a number of people at the same time, such as a small research group. If you want to email a large group of people at once, it is better to create a special mailing list - see http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/email/maillists for more information.
To create a new distribution list, click on the small down-arrow next to the
New button at the top of your contacts list (see Figure 43, Create new Distribution List) and click
[Distribution List].
In the resulting screen (Figure 44, Create Distribution List), enter a name in the
List Name box, and then enter the email addresses of the group
members (click
Members to choose them from your contacts and/or the
global address list). These should be separated by semi-colons.
Add to List to move the new member(s) into the list. When you
have finished adding members, click
Save and Close at the top of the
screen to return to your contacts list. You can always add and remove members later by
double-clicking on the name of the distribution list.
15.2.5. Message recipients
When you compose a message (or meeting request etc), you can use any combination of
full email addresses, Nexus user names, individual aliases, and distribution list
aliases in your
To: field, as long as they are separated by

Location: Plant Genetics Research
Title: A Simple Procedure for Depletion of Storage Proteins From Soybean (Glycine max) Seeds to Aid Proteome Analysis Authors
Submitted to: Soybean Biotechnology Meeting
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: April 21, 2009
Publication Date: N/A
Technical Abstract: Two-dimensional electrophoretic analysis of plant proteomes containing thousands of proteins, has limited dynamic resolution because only abundant proteins can be detected. Proteomic assessment of the low abundance proteins within seeds is difficult when 60 – 80% is storage proteins. Resolution can be improved through sample fractionation using separation techniques based upon different physiological or biochemical principles. We have developed a fast and simple fractionation technique using 10 mM Ca2+ to precipitate soybean (Glycine max) seed storage globulins, glycinin and ß-conglycinin. This method removes 87 ± 4% of the highly abundant seed proteins from the extract, allowing for 541 previously inconspicuous proteins present in soybean seed to be more detectable (volume increase of more than 50%) using fluorescent detection. Of those 541 enhanced spots, 197 increased more than 2.5-fold when visualized with Coomassie. The majority of those spots were isolated and identified using peptide mass fingerprinting. Fractionation also provided detection of 63 new phosphorylated protein spots and enhanced the visibility of 15 phosphorylated protein spots, using two-dimensional electrophoretic separation and an in-gel phosphoprotein stain. Initial experiments demonstrate possible application of this methodology towards other legumes also containing high amounts of globulin storage proteins.

More than 600 gang members and associates from 145 different gangs were arrested in 179 cities across the U.S. during Project Southbound, a month-long operation executed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations, which targeted gangs affiliated with the Sureños.
Of the 638 arrested around the country, 20 were arrested in Toledo. HSI special agents partnered with the Toledo Police Department's Gang Task Force during the operation.
The Sureños, also known as Sur 13, is a transnational criminal street gang that originated in Southern California with hundreds of cliques around the U.S. The Sureños and their affiliates pay tribute to the Mexican Mafia and the number "13" is their symbol signifying "M" in the alphabet for Mexican Mafia.
"We are trying to do anything we can to circumvent any kind of criminal activity that's occurring with any gang members," said Lt. Edward Bombrys, commander of the Toledo Police Department's Gang Task Force.
Membership and cliques associated with the Sureños are expanding faster than any other national-level gang in the country, according to the U.S. Department of Justice's National Gang Intelligence Center's 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment. Sureños gang members are involved in a myriad of criminal activity, including murder, extortion, narcotics trafficking, human trafficking, prostitution and other crimes with a nexus to the border.
Through Project Southbound, which ran March 12 to April 13, HSI special agents worked with 150 federal, state and local law enforcement partners to apprehend individuals from various gangs affiliated with the Sureños. More than 73 percent of those arrested during this operation were members or associates of the Sureños.
In addition to the 638 gang members and associates, HSI agents also arrested – or assisted in the arrest of – 119 other individuals on federal and/or state criminal violations and administrative immigration violations, for a total of 757 arrests.
"Project Southbound is the largest-ever ICE operation targeting the Sureños gang," said ICE Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Thomas Winkowski. "This gang now has more than 30,000 members in the United States and its numbers are growing. Targeting transnational gangs, like the Sureños, is a top priority for ICE and we will continue to disrupt and dismantle the violence and criminal activities that they inflict upon our neighborhoods."
"The Toledo Police Department is always a willing partner in the aggressive effort to reduce gang violence in our communities," said Bombrys. "When we combine our unique expertise, capabilities and resources with other local, state and federal agencies, our strength is unmatched."
Of the 638 gang members or associates arrested:
- 525 were charged with criminal offenses
- 113 were arrested administratively for immigration violations
- 414 had violent criminal histories, including seven individuals wanted for murder and five wanted for rape or sexual assault
- 256 were foreign nationals
Those arrested during Project Southbound came from 21 countries in South and Central America, Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. Of the total 757 arrested, 678 were males and 79 were females.
HSI special agents also seized:
- 54 firearms
- 13.36 pounds of methamphetamine
- 82.76 pounds of marijuana
- 3.075 pounds of cocaine
- 1.44 pounds of heroin
- more than $166,000 in U.S. currency
- 10 vehicles

Kim Kardashian Causes Riot at Milkshake Shop Opening & It's Not Because People are Happy to See Her (VIDEO)
For those of you who think Kim Kardashian isn't anything more than a harmless reality TV star famous for doing nothing (except maybe being a savvy self-promoter), think again. Turns out Kardashian is at the center of a political clash in Bahrain, where yesterday, riot police had to fire tear gas to disperse people near where Kardashian was set to make an appearance at the opening of her Millions of Milkshakes shop.
Unlike, say, a Kardashian event in the United States, where fans are hoping for a glimpse, a touch, an autograph of Kim K, the group in Bahrain was protesting Kardashian's very presence. This angry group of very religious Islamic protesters wanted Kim out of their country. Instead of screaming "Kim! Kim! I Love you, Kim!" these protesters were chanting "God is great." And holding signs that read: "None of our customs and traditions allow us to receive stars of porn movies."
Just hours before showing up at the event Kim K had tweeted:
I just got to Bahrain! OMG can I move here please? Prettiest place on earth!
I'm in love with the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Bahrain's foreign minister Khalid Alkhalifa re-tweeted her remark with a note of thanks, but the rest of the twitterverse went crazy taking clueless Kim to task for wanting to live in an anti-Democratic country known for its systemic torture by an opressive monarchy.
Kim deleted the tweet.
And just 2 weeks ago, Kim got in political hot water first tweeting prayers for Israel, and then Palestine, causing a backlash from her fans.
She has vowed to learn more about the Middle East. (Or maybe she should just stop tweeting?)
So apparently there are a few places where people have not yet drunk the Kardashian Kool-Aid. But maybe they'll all come around and try a milkshake.
This video can not be viewed on The Stir Mobile.
Do you think Kim Kardashian should be opening milkshake shops in the Middle East?

I wish the whole K-Clan would move there. Permanently.(fingers crossed) lol. If she wants to go global with a product a food is a good idea(a beauty product or clothing line would not have had a chance in this area), however she should have shown some respect towards the culture there and dressed more appropriately. The protesters would still protest but maybe they would see this as an effort to be humble/tolerant/accepting of their ways. At the very least that would've been good business. I admit I am no business expert though so uh, good luck with that I guess though I don't really care if the business does well or not..and I think I'll pass on the Kim Kardashion milkshake, thanks.

I don't give a rip whether or not I like or agree with the people who produce or deliver a product or service. It's a little different with celeb associations because their branding is actually part of what yo're buying.
She should be able to sell milkshakes anywhere. People should be able to refuse to buy them (and hopefully have alternatives) for any reason they want.

John LettDecember 2, 2012 at 4:27 PMI very much dislike the culture that surrounds the Kardashian enterprise, but really that reflects more on the supply side and the consumer than it does her or her family. Any of us would ride the wave if in an similar situation. We never, ever want to wish anyone misfortune - we just have to direct our thoughts and spending toward behaviors that we like and find ethical and eventually the motivations will move with the money and attention. -'tarotworldtour.wordpress.com'

cdjakDecember 3, 2012 at 1:45 AM
I'm not condoning the behavior of the people of Bahrain at all (though riots to protest anything not agreed with is common in this part of the world), but I'm wondering if she paid any attention whatsoever to the culture she was going to visit. Would it have been possible for her to have found something in her wardrobe that wasn't sleeveless or baring part of her chest? This display of skin is very disrespectful to their culture, and she should have been more sensitive. It may not have made a difference as far as the people of Bahrain not wanting her in their country, but it would have shown some class on her part.

Seriously, if people don't like the Kardashians DON'T COMMENT ON THE ARTICLES. I absolutely HATE Jersey Shore but you don't see me immaturely bashing them on articles. Grow up. I am usually a fan of the Kardashians, but I do disagree with the way Kim dressed while visiting. I know she does have a Fashionista reputation to protect, but this is a different culture who is VERY passionate about even the least knowing visitors complying. However, those people are not the type of people you want to be siding on. They are not only oppressive politically, but EXTREMELY oppressive religiously. If you don't share the same faith, you might as well write "martyr" on your gravestone. What's wrong with wanting to move to a country with a beautiful landscape? Would people be calling me an idiot if I stated I wanted to move to Greece for the landscape? Would I be considered ignorant for not realizing their economy is worse than ours? Would I be ignorant for saying I wanted to travel to Egypt while their is obvious warfare going on? People are so quick to criticize Kim for every single, fart, burp or whimper that comes out of her mouth they should grow up and realize she is human. I'm pretty sure there's some pretty dumb crap they've said in their lives at one point or another. It's just not publicized or plastered all over the internet like it is with Kim.

BOSTON and SAN DIEGO, June 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The global biotechnology industry rebounded strongly in 2013, with public companies achieving double-digit revenue growth and a sharp increase in funds raised. However, much of the industry's growth was driven by a relatively small group of commercial stage companies, increasing the urgency for the rest of the industry to achieve greater efficiency in their drug development efforts. These and other findings were released today in Beyond borders: unlocking value, EY's 28th annual biotechnology industry report.
Glen Giovannetti, EY's Global Life Sciences Leader, says: "The biotechnology industry, particularly in the US, is in the midst of a remarkable resurgence. Product successes have boosted revenues, drawn investors and motivated large companies to invest strongly in R&D. But the vast majority of firms continue to face a resource-constrained environment and heightened product scrutiny from payers and investors. More than ever, biotech companies of all sizes need to adopt strategies to capture more value from the discovery and development process."
Key results highlighted in the report include:
The challenge of unlocking value
Despite the strong overall financial results, most biotech companies operate in a resource-constrained environment, increasing the need to conduct R&D in capital-efficient ways. Meanwhile, other trends - including market entry agreements in which payers reimburse companies based on the performance of their products or strategic alliances with milestones tied to commercial performance rather than clinical trial results - make it imperative for companies to better measure and capture the value that their products create.
The report identifies three strategies for unlocking value from R&D:
1. Adaptive clinical trials: The long-standing clinical trials system of sequential Phase I, II and III studies creates few learning opportunities, and it results in R&D funds being tied up for multiple years and viewed as a sunk cost that is only reexamined as the drug advances to the next phase. Adaptive trial designs enable biotech companies to refine their hypotheses and reallocate R&D dollars in real time based on data generated in the clinic. While an estimated 20% of clinical trials being conducted today involve some type of adaptive design,[1] these efforts are being led primarily by global pharmaceutical companies, with many smaller and mid-cap biotechs lagging in bringing adaptive trials to earlier-stage drug development.
2. Precision medicine: Biomarkers and targeted therapies allow companies to identify patient sub-groups that are most likely to benefit from a particular therapy, thereby mitigating drug development risk and potentially increasing valuations from stakeholders. Precision medicine can also provide companies with more certainty in risk-sharing deals, such as market entry agreements with payers or commercial-milestone deals with strategic partners. Yet, it is estimated that only about 100 biomarkers are routinely used in clinical care.[2] Biotech companies should expand their use of these techniques.
3. Precompetitive collaboration: Cross-industry collaborations to solve common problems, such as establishing uniform clinical trial methodologies and developing standards for capturing real-world data, have flourished in the last few years. As with adaptive clinical trials, these consortia have been spearheaded by large pharmas, with most biotech players not yet engaged in meaningful ways. While participation in these efforts requires the commitment of resources, including capital and senior leadership time, it can offer benefits for companies seeking to avoid wasting precious resources on common challenges. In addition, involvement in such initiatives can help companies build trust with key stakeholders, which is particularly valuable at a time when payers and regulators are bringing more scrutiny to products.
Kristin Pothier, EY's Life Sciences Commercial Advisory Services Leader, says: "At a time when it is critical for companies of all sizes to conduct R&D as efficiently as possible, adaptive trials, precision medicine and precompetitive collaborations have the potential to unlock additional value that is trapped in the pipelines of biotech companies. To accelerate the adoption of these strategies, companies should embrace new kinds of partnerships to fill capability gaps, solve logistical issues and tap into the industry's impressive track record of adaptability in the face of new challenges."

Claassens leaving Bath?
Bath scrum-half Michael Claassens has signed a "pre-agreement" with Toulon, according to reports in France.
The South African scrum-half is out of contract at the end of the season but is yet to sign an extension with the West Country side which he joined back in 2007 from the Cheetahs.
Claassens' move however is dependent on the future of former England fly-half Jonny Wilkinson according to La Provence.
Wilkinson is yet to make a decision on whether he will retire at the end of the season, setting a February deadline on his announcement.
If Wilkinson does retire, then Claassens will link up with the French side with Frederic Michalak starting at fly-half instead of his current position at scrum-half alongside Wilkinson.
However if Wilkinson does decide to remain with Toulon for another season, then Claassens' move will be in jeopardy, raising the possibility of him staying at The Rec.

Lower taxes may be the economic elixir for many candidates in Tuesday's election. But it's worth noting that among those with the closest vantage point to the economy, lower taxes aren't the top priority. Deficit reduction is.
Late last month, CEOs from dozens of well-known firms — Microsoft, Weyerhaeuser, Delta Airlines, Cisco, Honeywell, UPS, Motorola Solutions, Dow Chemical, General Electric, Bank of America, Aetna, Time Warner, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and more — released a statement calling for a deficit-reduction package that includes not just more budget cuts but more revenue.

Thailand's largest island and a province in its own right, PHUKET (pronounced "Poo-ket") has been a prosperous region since the nineteenth century, when Chinese merchants got in on its tin-mining and sea-borne trade, before turning to the rubber industry. It remains the wealthiest province in Thailand, with the highest per-capita income, but what mints the money nowadays is tourism: with an annual influx of visitors that tops five million, Phuket ranks second in popularity only to Pattaya, and the package-tour traffic has wrought its usual transformations. Thoughtless tourist developments have scarred much of the island, and the trend is upmarket, with very few budget possibilities (expect to shell out up to twice what you'd pay on the mainland for accommodation and food, and sometimes more than double for transport, which is a particular headache on Phuket). However, many of the beaches are still strikingly handsome, resort facilities are second to none, and the offshore snorkelling and diving is exceptional. Away from the tourist hubs, many inland neighbourhoods are clustered round the local mosque – 35 percent of Phuketians are Muslim, and there are said to be more mosques on the island than Buddhist temples; though the atmosphere is generally as easy-going as elsewhere in Thailand, it's especially important to dress with some modesty outside the main resorts, and not to sunbathe topless on any of the beaches.
Phuket's capital, Muang Phuket or Phuket town, is on the southeast coast, 42km south of the Sarasin Bridge causeway to the mainland. Though it's the most culturally stimulating place on Phuket, most visitors pass straight through the town on their way to the west coast, where three resorts corner the bulk of the trade: high-rise Ao Patong, the most developed and expensive, with an increasingly seedy nightlife; the slightly nicer, if unexceptional, Ao Karon; and adjacent Ao Kata, the smallest of the trio. If you're after a more peaceful spot, aim for the 17km-long national park beach of Hat Mai Khao, its more developed neighbour Hat Nai Yang, or one of the smaller alternatives at Hat Nai Thon or Hat Kamala. Most of the other west-coast beaches are dominated by just a few upmarket hotels, specifically Hat Nai Harn, Ao Pansea and Ao Bang Tao; the southern and eastern beaches are better for seafood than swimming.
As with the rest of the Andaman coast, the sea around Phuket is at its least inviting during the monsoon, from June to October, when the west-coast beaches in particular become quite rough and windswept. At any time of year, beware the strong undertow and heed any red warning flags; there are dozens of fatalities in the water each year, but there is currently no official lifeguard service on the island. Some stretches of Phuket's coast were very badly damaged by the December 2004 tsunami, which caused significant loss of life and destroyed a lot of property. Reconstruction was swift, however, and a first-time visitor to the island is now unlikely to notice any major post-tsunami effect.Read More
Diving and snorkelling off Phuket
Diving and snorkelling off Phuket
The reefs and islands within sailing distance of Phuket rate among the most spectacular in the world, and diving and snorkelling trips are both good value and hugely popular. Many trips operate year-round, though some of the more remote islands and reefs become too dangerous to reach during part or all of the monsoon season, roughly June to October.
Andaman coast dive and snorkel sites
Anemone Reef
About 22km east of Phuket. Submerged reef of soft coral and sea anemones starting about 5m deep. Lots of fish, including leopard sharks, tuna and barracuda. Usually combined with a dive at nearby Shark Point. Unsuitable for snorkellers.
Burma Banks
About 250km northwest of Phuket; only accessible on live-aboards. A series of submerged "banks", well away from any landmass and very close to the Burmese border. Only worth the trip for its sharks. Visibility up to 25m.
Hin Daeng and Hin Muang
56km southwest of Ko Lanta. Hin Daeng is an exceptional reef wall, named after the red soft corals that cover the rocks, with visibility up to 30m. One hundred metres away, Hin Muang also drops to 50m and is good for stingrays, manta rays, whale sharks and silvertip sharks. Visibility up to 50m. Because of the depth and the current, both places are considered too risky for novice divers who have logged fewer than twenty dives. Unsuitable for snorkellers.
King Cruiser
Near Shark Point, between Phuket and Ko Phi Phi. Dubbed the Thai Tanic, this became a wreck dive in May 1997, when a tourist ferry sank on its way to Ko Phi Phi. Visibility up to 20m, but hopeless for snorkellers because of the depth, and collapsed sections make it dangerous for any but the most experienced divers.
Ko Phi Phi
48km east of Phuket's Ao Chalong. Visibility up to 30m. The most popular destination for Phuket divers and snorkellers. Spectacular drop-offs; good chance of seeing whale sharks.
Ko Racha Noi and Ko Racha Yai
About 33km and 28km south of Phuket's Ao Chalong respectively. Visibility up to 40m. Racha Yai (aka Raya Yai) is good for beginners and for snorkellers; at the more challenging Racha Noi there's a good chance of seeing manta rays, eagle rays and whale sharks.
Ko Rok Nok and Ko Rok Nai
100km southeast of Phuket, south of Ko Lanta. Visibility up to 18m. Shallow reefs that are excellent for snorkelling.
Ko Similan
96km northwest of Phuket; easiest access from Khao Lak. One of the world's top diving spots. Visibility up to 30m. Leopard sharks, whale sharks and manta rays, plus caves and gorges.
Ko Surin
174km northwest of Phuket; easiest access from Khuraburi. Shallow reefs of soft and hard corals that are good for snorkelling.
Richelieu Rock
Just east of Ko Surin, close to Burmese waters. A sunken pinnacle that's famous for its whale sharks. Considered by many to be Thailand's top dive spot.
Shark Point (Hin Mu Sang)
24km east of Phuket's Laem Panwa. Protected as a marine sanctuary. Visibility up to 10m. Notable for soft corals, sea fans and leopard sharks. Often combined with the King Cruiser dive and/or Anemone Reef; unrewarding for snorkellers.
Phuket day-trips and other activities
Phuket day-trips and other activities
Bookings for most of the following Phuket day-trips and activities can be made through any tour agent and should include return transport from your hotel (though not for the cooking classes). In addition to the trips listed below, diving is also available (see Diving and snorkelling off Phuket). Other sights worth checking out, especially for kids, include the Phuket Butterfly Garden and Insect World in Phuket town, the Aquarium on Laem Panwa, the Shell Museum in Rawai, the Big Buddha near Chalong and the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project near Thalang. Avoid any tour that features Ko Siray (Ko Sireh), the island across the narrow channel from Phuket town, which merely encourages tour-bus passengers to gawp at Phuket's largest and longest-established indigenous chao ley community.
Bicycle touring
Full- and half-day guided mountain-bike rides into Phuket's rural hinterlands and to Ko Yao Noi, as well as multi-day rides around Phang Nga Bay, with Action Holidays Phuket.
Elephant trekking
Award-winning, conservation-conscious Siam Safari runs Four-in-One tours featuring their hillside elephant camp plus rubber tapping, buffalo-cart riding and a sail on a Burmese junk; tours to Khao Sok National Park are also on offer.
One- and three-day courses at Hat Nai Yang and Ao Chalong (depending on the season) are offered by Kiteboarding Asia.
If you just need a little time off from the beach, head for the eighteen-hole Dino Park mini-golf, next to Marina Phuket Resort on the headland between Ao Karon and Ao Kata, which is part of a pseudo-prehistoric theme park comprising a dinosaur restaurant and an erupting "volcano" (evenings only).
There are dozens of companies offering canoeing and kayaking in Phuket, but the two with the best reputations are John Gray's Sea Canoe, who offer "Starlight" afternoon and evening trips around the spectacular limestone karsts of Ao Phang Nga, as well as multi-day and self-paddle trips; and Paddle Asia, who run day-trips to Ao Phang Nga and multi-day trips, which can include Khao Sok National Park and other adventure activities.
The rainy season (roughly May–Oct) is the best time for surfing off Phuket's west coast; courses and board rental are available from Phuket Surf on Ao Kata Yai.
Thai cookery courses
Most famously, every Sat and Sun morning at The Boathouse hotel on Ao Kata Yai; but also at the Holiday Inn Phuket, 86/11 Thanon Thavee Wong, Patong; and the Blue Elephant Restaurant, 96 Thanon Krabi, Phuket town.
Thai culture and wildlife tours
Plan to Phuket run a number of tours, including full-day "Culture Tours" that include market and temple visits, batik-making and rubber production; and "Jungle Tours" to Ton Sai waterfall and the Gibbon Rehabilitation project; or a combination of both.

Initial ice pitch banked out but otherwise good conditions. Topped out in superb light from the setting sunoliverk - Lead O/S - 28/Mar/14 with Pam
The chimney had massive amounts of snow and ice compared to any pictures I've seen. I really felt stuck at one point with my rucksack on. Would have been much easier if we had hauled the rucksacks. Brilliant day out with the Ben clearing out for a few brief minutes.khalidq - AltLd O/S - 09/Mar/14 with Dan Metcalf
12 hours hostel to hostel, up via Garbach Gully. Pretty poor weather but cleared for period in afternoon and wind calmed right down for summit. No sign of recent traffic but TR had prints and ice cleared for gear. Great big day.manwithacam - AltLd - 09/Mar/14 with khalid

Led the ice pitch, which was quite banked out so had only about 10 - 15 metres of steep ice (followed a direct line which was a good 4). Moved together on the snow plod middle section, with Rich leading. Tom led the chimney pitch, which was good fun. Shortly after Tom finished that pitch, Nick and Mike went past him at the Gap - they had set out from the car park a couple of hours before us. We caught up with them on the summit plateau. Glissaded all the way down No 4 gully and then almost all the way to the CIC Hut. Frosty, blue sky day - perfect! Enjoyable first and last pitches but spoilt by the snow plod... My first route on the Ben, apart from Carn Mor Dearg Arete four years ago.Misha - AltLd O/S - 02/Apr/10 with Rich, Tom
Pretty damp conditions. Route is pretty good, the mixed section at the top was probably the highlight. The snow on Tower Ridge really needs a freeze!Ken Applegate - Lead - 25/Mar/10 with Phil Applegate

First route of the 2009 season: chimney pitch was verglased and pretty gymnastic, and the wind coming over the ridge was gale force: very nearly got blown back down the chimney when clippping the sling on Tower Gap. In fact, the wind was so strong that we pitched 2 rope lengths of crawling (!) from the Gap to safe ground!andybuckley - Lead - Feb/09 with Mike Moss
Led first ice pitch, possibly quite lean and steep for III but only for about 2 moves. Crampon came off on 2nd pitch and fell down the couloir. Finished the rest on 2nd in one crampon, surprisingly without difficulty.niallk - AltLd O/S - 03/Jan/09 with Willie

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A Black History Month exhibit highlighting famous abolitionists and authors is opening at the New York state Capitol.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the exhibit called "The Transformative Power of the Narrative," will open Friday in the War Room on the Capitol's second floor.
The exhibit celebrates the work of five storytellers: abolitionists Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass; authors Toni Morrison and Alex Haley; and Solomon Northrup, who wrote "Twelve Years a Slave" after being kidnapped and forced into slavery.
The exhibit will feature biographies and artifacts from the New York State Library.

TNR presents a follow-up to our recent symposium on what the U.S. should do next in Afghanistan.
"Back in July of 2010, TNR asked nine experts to explore what the United States should do next in Afghanistan. In the twenty months since that symposium, much has changed. Tragic developments—such as the downing of a military helicopter that claimed 38 Americans and the recent massacre of 16 Afghan civilians by a U.S. Army Staff Sergeant—have stoked widespread discontent with the current course of action, and have many rethinking their commitments to the mission. Given the new circumstances, we invited our original contributors to follow-up on the suggestions they offered two years ago."
