text: Quick or Slow? Stedman is so simplistic in construction it should be easy. Alternate quick and slow 'sixes' (or hunting on 3 bells) with simple dodging above, extending to as many bells as are available, it is enjoyed by so many ringers, whatever their experience. Yet seemingly excellent peals of Stedman can 'fire out' at a moments notice. Part of the cause of the fire up is a momentary lack of concentration to figure out which way to go into the front work, quick or slow? Different Ways To Work Out Which Way To Go In It is essential that you know which way you should be going in. If you go in the wrong way, you may confuse those already on the front, which will probably start a fire up. Counting Bobs If there is an even number of bobs whilst you are at the back, or you have to make the bob, then enter the opposite way to the way you came out last time. i.e. This does not affect the normal order. Many compositions of Stedman Triples use pairs of bobs which makes it easier for everyone ringing. 'Odd bob' compositions are considered harder as ringers are more prone to entering the front the wrong way. Singles do not affect the way you enter the front. 'Footsie' Using the bob counting method is useful, but on higher numbers especially, a ringer is prone to forgetting which way they came out last. Since you only need to worry about whether there was an even or an odd number of bobs, you can use your feet to remind you which way to go in next time. Decide which foot is slow. Each time you exit the front work, swap your feet over to tell you which way to go next time. For each bob called whilst you are in the highest dodging position, swap your feet over. This method goes wrong when you forget to swap your feet over on exiting the front work. By the time you get to 10-11, you may have forgotten which way you came out! Another version of this involves muttering quietly to yourself which way you will go in next time when you leave the front. For each bob you are caught dodging behind for, mutter the other way to yourself in between counting the dodges. Course Bell (a) This method relies on your course bell going in correctly. Watch the bell coursing down in front of you to see which way it goes in, and then you go the (b) opposite way. You must identify your course bell. This is easy if you have not been caught behind by bobs as it's the bell you were dodging 6-7 up with in (b) triples, and that bell then courses down in front of you. If you had to dodge down at a bob, then your course bell is now the one that made the bob. When (d) you get to 4-5 down, if you strike over your course bell for your first blow in (a) ths 4 , then your course bell has gone in slow and you go in quick. If your course bell continues down to lead, then it's going in quick and you must go in slow. (b) Last Ditch (b) This method trusts that those on the front will not go wrong whilst you are dodging in 4-5 down, and the above methods should be used in preference. If (c) you have fallen asleep, this method offers one of two last opportunities to get the entry right. As you start to dodge in 4-5 down, note whom you strike over ths ths at the first blow in 4 place (a). The second and third blows (b) in 4 place should be over the other two bells on the front. The bell you have noted will be the bell you turn from the lead, whichever way you end up going in. When you rds get to your first of a possible two blows in 3 observe whom you strike over. If it's the bell you noted (c), go in slow otherwise quick, as that bell should be leading. What's actually happening? Well, if you meet the noted bell when you are in rds nds 3 place and it is in 2 place (c), then it is doing its last whole turn which finishes with a lead wrong, from which you turn it and lead wrong yourself for the first whole rds turn. If the bell you noted is leading (d) when you are in 3 place, then it is leading right and finishing its first whole turn, and you must lead right after it. Watch the Leading Again, this method trusts the front bells will not go wrong. Look at the leading whilst you are in 4-5 down. If bells are leading at hand and back (leading right), it's a quick six, so you go in slow in the next six. If the leading is back and hand (leading wrong), is a slow six, so you go in quick next six. This one needs good rope-sight or listening skills! Slow and Hope? This method must not be used, in spite of being a 'top tip' in newsletters I have read in belfries on ringing outings. This is how peals fire up. The 'tip' is to always go in slow and yank the bell in quickly if you see someone try to ring over you. As a result of using this method of entry to the front, you will probably end up crashing another bell 50% of the time. This does not sound good and you may have to suffer the humiliation of an irate conductor! Close Lastly, if you are conducting the touch of Stedman, then you have the upper hand, and can check through the composition to see in advance which way you will enter the front work and you can remember this detail for short enough touches. Just don't miss-call it! ths Note: For those not familiar with Stedman on higher numbers, the 'bobs' are made in 5 for ths ths Triples, 7 for Caters and 9 for Cinques. Similarly for singles, places are made in 567 for 1 Triples, 789 for Caters and 90E for Cinques. Philip Abbey Consulted by Mark Davies and Janet Covey-Crump 12 July 2004 1 0 = 10, E = 11 (Eleven), T = 12 (Twelve). Things get sillier on 16 bells.

Sharda Ugra
March 5, 2013
Victory in the Hyderabad Test has made MS Dhoni the most successful captain in Indian cricket, with 22 Test wins and two world titles in the limited-overs game - the 2007 ICC World T20 title and the 2011 World Cup.
At the end of the Hyderabad Test, where India stomped over Australia by an innings and 135 runs taking an unassailable 2-0 lead, Dhoni waved away his numero uno standing as India captain, and said it was "over-rated and hyped."
"If you see our dressing room right now, we are not bothered about who has won how many matches. What's important is to win Test matches. The more consistent we become the better it is for the side. I don't think this number really matters for us. What's important is that the last two matches we have done really well."
A Dhoni media briefing can be a wide-ranging explanation of tactics, glimpses of personal philosophy and more importantly, a reflection of the team management's thinking. Post-Hyderabad this is what it looks like: Virender Sehwag's position in the squad is a bit iffy, Harbhajan Singh is safe and if Cheteshwar Pujara pays too much attention on performing outside India, he won't relish the present.
Asked if Sehwag was on borrowed time and would be persisted with, Dhoni called the question a "difficult one." He said a 'wait and watch' was necessary before the selectors meet to pick the team for Mohali and Delhi. "You have to create a balance... You also need to see what situation we are in, because we will be touring abroad and we don't have that many Test matches after this series. In between we hardly play any Tests and we go off to South Africa… I won't really like to comment."
It was not as ringing an endorsement as was enjoyed by Harbhajan Singh, who Dhoni said had "shown improvement" in his last three Tests. Harbhajan, he said, had given him a very important option due to the number of left-handers in the Australian line-up.
|I felt he bowled well in the second innings in Chennai and he has shown improvement in this game. He is bowling in one area which is very important. Of course you will have one lead spinner, but when it comes to the second spinner you may have to choose horses for courses MS Dhoni on Harbhajan Singh
"He played against England and people weren't happy. I could also not make him bowl the amount of overs that I would have liked to. That's the case with three spinners. Often one of them will be slightly under-utilised."
He believed the pressure of Harbhajan playing his 100th Test was "was always there on him. What's important is how he has overcome that. I felt he bowled well in the second innings in Chennai and he has shown improvement in this game. He is bowling in one area which is very important. Of course you will have one lead spinner, but when it comes to the second spinner you may have to choose horses for courses."
In an interview to the BCCI's official website, Pujara had said that he would judge himself on how he performed in 'tough overseas conditions."
Asked if this attitude was important for a young player to have on his team, Dhoni replied, "I think he watches too many media channels because that's what really happens. I have always said you need to be in the present. Of course he has set his own standards but what is important to enjoy what you have done. What he has done or what anyone has done. No point in saying you have done well in India; go out and do it and we will judge you as a batsman." While Pujara may himself have made that comment himself, Dhoni said, "but that's my point - we all love to comment that way, but it's also important to enjoy the moment. You have done well; so enjoy the moment. That will be my suggestion to him. He will score runs… that's a different story."
India's marked difference in recent performance home and away, Dhoni said, was a reflection of the variety of conditions that made Test cricket challenging. "You have to realise 80 or 70 per cent of the matches you play in your home conditions. You have to be good there. As I always say, once you go abroad the conditions are totally different and that's a challenge. That's what improves our Test cricket over a period of time. I think the sides that have players who have toured the sub-continent or of us who have played in other countries, they have been able to perform quite consistently."
"I feel it's still a challenge, that's what is special about Test cricket. You go abroad, you have different conditions, you come to the sub-continent, the wicket becomes slow and low. If everything becomes the same, Test cricket won't be challenging."
He said India had lifted itself off from the series loss against England by putting in an all-round effort in all disciplines. "Against England we were not at our best. We were not scoring enough runs, we were not putting huge totals on the board for our bowlers to be aggressive. All these things play a crucial part. You can't just rely on your batting or bowling, as a unit you have to do well. Once you score runs, automatically you will see bowlers doing well. It works the other way as well, if the bowlers are bowling well it creeps into your batting also." In the current series using a fifth bowler in Jadeja had worked well at home.
When asked what his advice would be to Michael Clarke, Dhoni said his only piece of advice would be that, "screaming [at his team] won't really help". But he added he wouldn't want to "poke his nose because it's a bit unfair. You need to respect your opponents… you don't give Australians bit more advice as they are very competitive and they can come back strongly in the series." He said Australia could take back positives from the series that they would have a pool of players the next time they travelled to the subcontinent who would be, "better equipped to handle the conditions. I think it's a win-win situation for them. Just that they have to be a bit patient."
The difference the Hyderabad pitch made for the spinners was that it had started to turn once the ball got old. In the second session on day one, India were unable to find turn and couldn't break the Michael Clarke-Matthew Wade partnership, "That session we struggled a bit. All of a sudden the ball became soft and once we came back after tea, we saw that spinners were able to get a bit of turn and put pressure on the opposition."
India used that knowledge to impose themselves on Australia in the second innings on Monday evening. "We bowled close to 32 odd overs and gave away 72 or 73 runs. We had runs in hand, and we were waiting for the ball to turn soft. It's one of the reasons why we wanted Ishant with the semi-new ball today. He got us that important breakthrough and because of that we were able to put pressure on their batting."

Genesis HealthCare disputes union's take on Lowell facility closure
Send this to a friend
- Julie M. Donnelly
- Reporter- Boston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Genesis HealthCare, a Pennsylvania-based operator of nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities, is disputing union claims alleging that the closure of a Lowell facility was a callous move.
The Glenwood Center, which provides short- and long-term stays for patients with psychiatric illnesses and other medical needs, will close on March 20, resulting in 86 layoffs.
Spokeswoman Jeanne Moore said that the facility was acquired when Genesis bought competitor Sun Healthcare Group in 2012 for $217 million. At the time, Genesis already owned two facilities in Lowell: Willow Manor and Heritage Nursing Care Facility. The company owns a total of 40 sites in Massachusetts.
"As we looked across our portfolio of skilled nursing centers throughout the country, it became clear that Glenwood Center's physical plant is not up to Genesis standards," Moore said. "The center requires significant renovations and structural improvements to meet the safety and comfort requirements that our patients and families expect. Unfortunately, the improvements are too costly to undertake, and therefore we have made the difficult decision to close Glenwood Center."
Moore said the company held information sessions for patients and families to discuss the probable closure timetable and to discuss alternative care options available.
Some of the affected workers are represented by the 1199SEIU health care workers union. The union criticized the decision not to allow employees to transfer into comparable open jobs at nearby sites, calling the process "reckless" and "callous."
Moore said that workers were given 60 days notice about the closure. This 60-day notification is reflected in the company's filings with state labor officials. Moore said state officials have commended the company for its thorough process related to the closure.

HMAS Newcastle has handed over security operations for Operation SLIPPER in support of the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) in the Middle East to HMAS Melbourne.
Newcastle has provided maritime security around the Horn of Africa, conducted counter-piracy and anti-smuggling operations in the Gulf of Aden and executed counter-terrorism activities since May 28, 2013.
The Guided Missile Frigate handed over to sister ship HMAS Melbourne on September 24, 2013.
HMAS Newcastle's Commanding Officer, Commander Paul O'Grady CSM, RAN said the ship's company of 230 personnel will conduct a logistical stop at Fleet Base West before making the final voyage home to Sydney to reunite with family and friends.
"Since 28 May 2013 HMAS Newcastle has provided maritime security from the Horn of Africa to the Red Sea, conducted counter-piracy and counter-smuggling operations from the Gulf of Aden to the Arabian Gulf and performed counter-terrorism activities throughout the wide area of operations," Commander O'Grady said.
"These operations were supported by coalition air assets, including Newcastle's own S-70B-2 Seahawk helicopter, which has flown more than 300 hours in support of boarding operations, search and rescues and medical evacuations."
Commander O'Grady said the deployment has included many highlights including some that made international news headlines.
"There can be no greater responsibility than to assist fellow mariners in distress and Newcastle did so on two occasions.
"Firstly in providing emergency assistance to the disabled Merchant Tanker Perla who had suffered a main machinery fire in the Somali Basin and had two burned crewmen. We were able to winch on a medical team and evacuate the crewmen for further treatment.
"Later in the deployment we conducted a search and rescue in conjunction with a Chinese Navy frigate for fishermen lost at sea in the Indian ocean.
"During the deployment Newcastle was also utilised as the venue for the Ministerial signing of two important documents that have a direct relationship to why the Royal Australian Navy deploys to the Middle East Area of Operation.
"These important bilateral agreements between Australia and the Republic of Seychelles will help prevent and combat piracy.
"Newcastle's achievements over the course of the deployment are due to her close knit team and esprit de corps.
"The crew has worked hard together in the preparation and conduct of this mission and their determination and collective experience has united them into a cohesive force, willing to undertake any challenge.
"Newcastle's professionalism and performance has been of the highest standard. Every one of our team should be proud of their contributions to Australia's reputation in the region and the effectiveness of the Combined Maritime Force."
HMAS Newcastle's deployment has been a 58,000km journey with more to come during her return home.
She has conducted 13 underway refuelings with support ships from the U.S., U.K. and France, visited seven different ports throughout Africa and the Middle East and conducted 157 separate boarding actions.
Newcastle has remained on task at sea for over 80% of her deployment and most importantly the dedicated maintenance and engineering crews have ensured the ship has not missed a single day of tasking.
All this was done in the extreme heat of an Arabian summer and the often arduous sea conditions of the monsoon season.
HMAS Melbourne takes over operations with the Combined Maritime Forces and will hand over to HMAS Darwin later this year.
HMAS Melbourne is the 56th rotation of a Navy warship to the Middle East since the first Gulf War in 1990 and is the 32nd ship to deploy to the Middle East since as part of Operations SLIPPER and CATALYST since September 2001.

DHS cracks down on identity theft ring
Tuesday - 1/4/2011, 9:30am EST
The Homeland Security Department is going after a Vietnam-based criminal ring that uses stolen credit card numbers and identity theft to reap hundreds of millions of dollars. ComputerWorld reports, agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided the home of two Vietnamese exchange students in Minnesota. They seized both computers and documents. Affidavits filed in support of search warrants detail how the crime ring works. The two students sold video games and Apple gift card on e-Bay. They sent customers products purchased with hacked credit card numbers. The investigation, dubbed Operation eMule, has been run since 2009 by the DHS cyber crimes center.

Ready To Wear: The ultimate fashion gift? Walk this way, shoe-lovers
Monday 15 November 2010
Pretenders to the Imelda Marcos/ Sarah Jessica Parker/Theresa May flagrant footwear fetishist throne might like to know that the world's most unashamedly indulgent and recession- unfriendly Christmas gift has arrived.
For the princely sum of £8,000, designer fashion website par excellence Net-a-Porter.com has introduced the "ultimate shoe subscription" meaning lovers of designer footwear will receive a pair of shoes per month throughout 2011.
"Just one pair?" I hear you all cry. But seriously, this is a very ultimate subscription indeed. Not only will any recipient be guaranteed the shoe collection of her dreams, she will also benefit from one-to-one style advice from the site's resident experts.
With just this in mind, a dedicated team has been set up to cater to the needs of subscription customers who, following an initial consultation to determine their tastes, will each be assigned their own advisor and given a direct line. Next-day delivery is guaranteed, obviously, as, more importantly, is the chance to pre-reserve any soon-to-arrive, most-wanted designs before we mere mortals get a look in.
Styles that have generated a waiting list, selling out almost before their availability has been announced, this season included the Burberry Aviator boot, the Louboutin Elisa and the Yves Saint Laurent Palais Mohawk. Come January, Charlotte Olympia's Paloma heels [pictured] will be very much in demand (niche designers make very few models of each design, so they don't hang around for long), as will classics including the Louboutin Pigalle, which is ordered season after season.
In the end, this is not a gift big on "it's the thought that counts" status, clearly. But as far as buying fashion for anyone other than oneself is concerned, thought tends to be a highly risky business – as those who have been on the receiving end of a painstakingly sought-out purchase that a) doesn't fit (too small is not good), b) doesn't flatter (ditto), or c) just isn't quite right for them, know only too well.

He stood in the middle of the Tampa Bay Lightning dressing room after most of the other players and the media horde had left the room. Forward Martin St. Louis had a white towel hanging over his right shoulder and a drink in his hand, his wet undershirt clinging to his muscular frame. "What time does the bus leave?" he asked to no one in particular. "Whenever you get on it," said Lightning forward Tim Taylor.continued

A century ago, Joyce Kilmer wrote, "I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree."
East Hills resident Richard Brummel apparently thinks he has never seen anything as lovely as a tree, and he is now stumping for the preservation of a 125-yerar-old tree on Roslyn Road near Jerome Avenue in Mineola.
Brummel has circulated petitions to the Mineola Village Board and the Town of North Hempstead. The tree sits on foreclosed property.
Brummel hopes new tree laws will be established in an effort to preserve older, bigger trees in the area.
"I am concerned for the future of this tree because developers in this area typically destroy all trees on the properties they build on," he said.
For the last two decades, the National Arbor Day Foundation has dubbed Mineola as "Tree City USA" for its continuing efforts at tree planting. Mineola reported that 450 trees would be replaced due to Hurricane Sandy.
Village representatives said if tree preservation laws similar to those used in communities elsewhere were adopted, any resident that wants to remove a tree on his or her property would need to first obtain authorization from the village. This may entail some type of inspection and permitting process and might also include tree-service company licensing.
"There'd have to be a permit process, because that's the only we could prevent people from trees being taken down," Mineola Mayor Scott Strauss said.
In some cases, homeowners could be denied the right to remove or alter a tree on their property. Where tree preservation codes are in effect, homeowners can be denied building applications because preserved trees are in the way.
"I love trees," Strauss stated, adding he does not relish the idea of telling people what to do with their property. "The concept with the environment, absolutely; but there comes a point where government should not infringe on peoples rights, on peoples property."
This could, village reps noted, cause an increase in village taxes as additional personnel or outside contractors would have to conduct inspections and process permits.
Home values could be affected because preservation limits on private property would need to be disclosed during potential sales, according to Strauss. Furthermore, homeowners' rates would skyrocket because of permit requirements and if a resident wants their home remodeled and a tree is in the way, it cannot be cut down because of preservation laws.
"What happens if we put these laws into effect, and a person can't sell a house," Strauss said. "What if a young couple buys a house with a tree and it's a small house and they want to expand for kids, then we tell them they can't and they have to cram all their kids into one bedroom?"
Speaking of the tree Brummel wants to save in Mineola, arborist Richard Oberlander of Nassau Suffolk Tree Service said the tree is "near-perfect" symmetry and has a broad crown, which grows 90 feet across. He thinks it's a "special specimen." The International Society of Arboriculture certifies Oberlander as an accredited authority on trees.
"The tree has a co-dominant stem but is so well balanced it has very good structural integrity," said Oberlander. "It is a tree I can only characterize as humongous and it clearly deserves to be protected and embraced by the community as a significant environmental asset."
Oberlander said the Mineola tree is in "very good health" and "provides value historically, aesthetically and ecologically."

The Mineola School Board will hold a public hearing on the much-debated New York State veterans exemption on Thursday, Nov. 6 at 6:30 p.m. in the Willis Avenue School. It is expected the board will either approve or disapprove the tax exemption during its regular meeting at 7 p.m.

When votes go to the polls next week on Tuesday, Nov. 4 to vote on the Town of North Hempstead's 2nd Council District seat, candidate Bonnie Parente feels her stance on the building department is what voters will remember when casting their choice. The 2nd council district post is currently held by Peter Zuckerman, a former East Hills trustee. He was appointed to the seat in January to replace Thomas Dwyer, who resigned last year.
"That's the major issue I heard about when I knocked on doors," she said. "No matter where I am, I could be at the Herricks Community Center or the Albertson Pasta Dinner and
predominately what people ask about is how to fix the building department."

Samantha Pastore, senior and third-year varsity player, is also co-captain of the currently undefeated (11-0) Mineola Girls Varsity Volleyball team. She is an outside hitter and is often recognized in games by starting rallies with her quick thinking and nimble feet. She earns 20 percent of the team's points and averages four aces per match.

The Mineola Mustangs varsity football team fell to the Seaford Vikings last week 27-21, missing their chance to tie the top seeds Locust Valley and Roosevelt's 6-1 Nassau conference IV record.
After tying the game in the second half and having the opportunity to capitalize on Seaford's failed extra-point kick on their final touchdown, the Viking's senior wide receiver/defensive back Bobby Buell knocked away a pass from Mineola senior quarterback James Gerstner to senior wide receiver Brian Smith in the end-zone with 57 seconds left

Individualism can be productive, for the individual, short term....It is your collective concept that produces the most consistently positive outcome, societally speaking
And in achieving this, each individual will have a more auspicious experience when
they are forced to to go it on there own, as they will take with them all they have learned within the collective circle of communication.A superb piece of work, Alison

Chaos VS Order
Within the circle the female power surged
Each woman held the power to her
For every word said another was felt
Each took strength from the other
Outside the circle of male power ran
Each man vying for dominance in word
All striving to gain the edge from the other
Chaos prevailed within them
Between the circles an eddy existed
As the forces fought
Who would be benefactor of the talk
What would be learnt from the experience?

Janet Porter Wants Republicans 'Nationwide' To Adopt Texas GOP's Ex-Gay Resolution
Janet Porter of Faith 2 Action is so happy about the Republican Party of Texas's decision to embrace ex-gay therapy as part of its new far-right platform that she wants similar language endorsing the pseudo-science "adopted nationwide":
She might find allies in Tony Perkins and David Barton, members of the 2012 Republican National Committee platform committee who are both vocal supporters of ex-gay therapy.
Barton, a former vice chairman of the Texas Republican Party, bragged in 2012 of getting 70 of his 71 resolutions approved by the RNC, and Perkins released a statement yesterday praising the Texas GOP's ex-gay resolution.
In 2012, Perkins claimed that his Family Research Council joined forces with Eagle Forum to shape the national GOP platform. Eagle Forum is the same group that successfully added the ex-gay language to the Texas GOP platform.

Anna Mackowiak Dentist Reacts To Teeth After Bad Break-Up
A Polish man learned the hard way on how an ex-girlfriend can take revenge, because Anna Mackowiak just happened to be a dentist, and it would take all of his teeth before she was done with him.
Marek Olszewski, 45, claims that when he went in to have one tooth pulled, Anna decided to overdose him with anesthesia, and I'm sure you know where this story is going.
When Marek awoke, he had a feeling that something odd was going on because he couldn't feel any teeth in his mouth, and his jaw was bandaged up.
But his ex-girlfriend calmed him, letting him know that his mouth of numb, and that he wouldn't feel anything for a while.
When Olszewski got home and looked in the mirror, his trust in his former girlfriend was shaken to its core!
"I knew something was wrong because when I woke up I couldn't feel any teeth and my jaw was strapped up with bandages. She told me my mouth was numb and I wouldn't be able to feel anything for a while and that the bandage was there to protect the gums, but that I would need to see a specialist. I didn't have any reason to doubt her, I mean I thought she was a professional. But when I got home I looked in the mirror and couldn't f****** believe it. The b**** had emptied my mouth," Olszewski explained.
Meanwhile, Dr. Mackowiak says, "I tried to be professional and detach myself from my emotions. But when I saw him lying there I just thought, "What a b******."
She is now being investigated and faces a three-year prison sentence for malpractice for abusing the trust of a patient.
Olszewski says his new girlfriend has left him because she couldn't be with a man who has no teeth, and it will cost him a fortune to have implant surgery.

Solo exhibition of Azerbaijani artist to be opened in Dubai
01 September 2014 [18:20] -
A solo exhibition entitled "Fluid Forms" by Azerbaijani artist Faig Ahmed will be opened at the Cuadro Gallery in Dubai from September 16 to November 30.
At his upcoming solo exhibition, the Azerbaijani artist will unveil new bodies of work created during his residency with Cuadro Gallery earlier this year.
Faig Ahmed, as a visual artist, explores composition of a traditional Azerbaijan`s carpet by disjointing its structure and placing its canonic elements into open space. Ahmed`s works include hand-woven rugs encompassed in sculptural arms that extend out of thread into neon geometric forms. The artist`s signature optical illusions stretch beyond the carpet frame – a conventional rug dissembles midway, bleeding onto the floor in a meticulously woven pool of melting threads.
Faig Ahmed graduated from the Sculpture faculty at the Azerbaijan State Academy of Fine Art in Baku in 2004. Since 2003, he has been working with various media, including painting, video and installation.
Faig Ahmed is a nominee for the Victoria and Albert Museums 3rd 'Jameel Prize'. The winner of the Jameel Prize will be announced at the end of 2014.
Founded in 2008, Cuadro Fine Art Gallery, located in the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC), has quickly become one of the UAE`s premier contemporary and modern art venues.
Cuadro Fine Art Gallery maintains four keys areas of focus: exhibitions, education, residency and consultation.

$26B cost killed nuclear bid
The Ontario government put its nuclear power plans on hold last month because the bid from Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., the only "compliant" one received, was more than three times higher than what the province expected to pay, the Star has learned.

The Ontario government put its nuclear power plans on hold last month because the bid from Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., the only "compliant" one received, was more than three times higher than what the province expected to pay, the Star has learned.
Sources close to the bidding, one involved directly in one of the bids, said that adding two next-generation Candu reactors at Darlington generating station would have cost around $26 billion.
It means a single project would have wiped out the province's nuclear-power expansion budget for the next 20 years, leaving no money for at least two more multibillion-dollar refurbishment projects.
"It's shockingly high," said Wesley Stevens, an energy analyst at Navigant Consulting in Toronto.
Energy and Infrastructure Minister George Smitherman announced on June 29 he was suspending a competitive process for the purchase of new reactors for Ontario. He cited the price tag as "billions" too high, but would not reveal the amount of the bid from AECL, deemed the only compliant proposal out of three offers.
AECL's $26 billion bid was based on the construction of two 1,200-megawatt Advanced Candu Reactors, working out to $10,800 per kilowatt of power capacity.
By comparison, in 2007 the Ontario Power Authority had assumed for planning purposes a price of $2,900 per kilowatt, which works out to about $7 billion for the Darlington expansion. During Ontario Energy Board hearings last summer, the power authority indicated that anything higher than $3,600 per kilowatt would be uneconomical compared to alternatives, primarily natural gas.
Much of the dramatic price increase relates to the cost of labour and materials, which have skyrocketed over the past few years. Nuclear suppliers and their investors also have less tolerance for risk.
The bid from France's Areva NP also blew past expectations, sources said. Areva's bid came in at $23.6 billion, with two 1,600-megawatt reactors costing $7.8 billion and the rest of the plant costing $15.8 billion. It works out to $7,375 per kilowatt, and was based on a similar cost estimate Areva had submitted for a plant proposed in Maryland.
"These would be all-in costs, including building a new overpass and highway expansion to get the equipment in," said a source from one of the bidding teams, who asked to remain anonymous, citing confidentiality agreements signed with the province.
Stevens said Areva's lower price makes sense because the French company wasn't prepared to take on as much risk as the government had hoped. This made Areva's bid non-compliant in the end. Crown-owned AECL, however, complied with Ontario's risk-sharing requirement but was instructed by the federal government to price this risk into its bid. "Which is why it came out so high," said Stevens.
It's why Smitherman has thrown the ball in the federal government's court in hopes of having Ottawa pay a portion of the cost. The Harper government has given no indication whether it's prepared to commit billions of dollars to subsidize Ontario electricity consumers.
Amy Tang, a spokeswoman for the energy ministry, wouldn't confirm or deny either bid amount. She said the bidding process was complex and no single number tells the full story.
"By simplifying any one submission down to a single number at this point would be very difficult to do and highly speculative," Tang said.
But the figures shed light on a process that has so far attempted to shield the true cost of building nuclear power capacity in Canada, said Shawn-Patrick Stensil, nuclear researcher at Greenpeace Canada.
"Paying $26 billion for prototype reactors that may not even work is a huge gamble for the province," said Stensil, adding the money could be better spent on less risky and greener alternatives. "This whole renaissance in nuclear was built on the premise of cheap reactors, and that's what they haven't been able to deliver."

The Button - A Social Experiment for iPhone
If you're the kind of person who likes to waste their iPhone battery by mindlessly tapping the screen over...and over...and over again, then I cannot think of a better way for you to do that but with StuckPixel's The Button-- A Social Experiment. It's everything you'd want in a game--social features, leaderboards, etc.-- except without any of that annoying "gameplay" stuff.
The Button is...well, a button. A big, blue button, to be exact, that just sits there, waiting for you to push it. As you push the button, it keeps track of your stats--how many times you've pushed it, how many times you've pushed it in the past week/month/year, your "push rate per second," the total amount of time you've spent pushing the button, and your "average button push time." Exciting, right?
Well, it also keeps track of the global stats and has a global leaderboard. On the Global Stats screen, you can see how many times the button has been pushed in total, as well as your push contribution (as well as the global stats that correspond to your personal stats). The Global Leaderboard shows who has pushed the button the most times (a neat feature--there's also a friend leaderboard, so you can connect with your friends to see who has the most free time--er, who has pushed the button the most, among you).
As if detailed statistics and a global leaderboard weren't enough to entice you to push this button, you also unlock "achievements." This, I like--the "achievements" are cleverly placed and named: you get a "Getting Higher" badge for reaching 420 pushes, and a "Devil's Advocate" badge for reaching 666.
There's also a settings screen, where you can choose what your badge will look like (in case you ever do make it to that Global Leaderboard), and you can turn off the alerts that tell you what "achievements" you've achieved (the alerts do get in the way of seamless button pushing).
All right, so it's not terribly complex, but what do you expect for a game whose premise is to push a button...as many times as you can? Considering what it is, this is actually a very well made game--the button pushing is seamless (it recorded every tap I made, even if the button graphic didn't depress each time), it never crashed, and it's pretty and blue. If you're going to get a game where all you do is press a button, this is the one to get. As for it being a "social experiment," I suppose it is an effective social experiment...a social experiment where we see how many people have no social lives.
[Sarah Jacobsson can't believe that this was the game she was assigned to review this week.]

Blog Posts: Is Your Content Easy-To-Consume?
Would you like to get more blog traffic without investing a lot more effort or resources?
What blogger wouldn't want more readers?
If your blog is like many other blogs, the factors driving prospective readers away are relatively common and simple to fix.
I realized this during a recent Sunday night #BlogChat where 4 blogs were critiqued, a technique commonly used in writing classes and circles. Other bloggers provided positive input to help these 4 bloggers to improve their blogs.
While the bloggers had worked hard to create strong content, the way the information was presented hindered readability. In my experience, poor blog post presentation is a frequent issue. After spending time a writing good blog post, a blogger just wants to publish it and be done.
The problem: Poor blog post presentation causes visitors to leave without reading your articles.
Fortunately, with a few changes, you can transform your ugly duckling blogs posts into attractive, easy-to-read beauties.
30 Stellar blog tips for posts your audience loves to read
Here are 30 stellar blog tips for creating blog posts your audience loves to read. Your goal is to attract blog post attention.
Make your blog design visually inviting.
- Get rid of the telltale signs from a preformatted template. If you're not sure about this, ask your webmaster.
- Use an easy-on-the-eyes creative. Select colors that are harmonious and enhance your brand.
- Be consistent in color usage. Color is a major element of your business brand. You have both foreground and background colors to work with.
- Beware of homepage clutter. It's easy to keep adding "just one more thing" to your homepage. Understand that overcrowding can become a distraction to your readers.
(Additionally, here is a list of 31 design mistakes and how to fix them.)
Be selective in your font choices. They're a critical element of your brand, especially if you're a small business. Use a combination of fonts that work together, are easy-to-scan, and represent your brand.
- Choose readable fonts over fancy fonts. Remember your goal is to get visitors to keep reading. Ornate fonts are a turnoff. Readers have to work to hard to get the information. They can't scan it.
- Assess font color. Here the major issue is contrast. Select colors so that your type stands out and is readable. Avoid the screaming hot pinks and acid greens.
- Be sparing and careful with your use of knockout type. This means white or other light color text over a black or other dark color background. When you use knockout type, increase the font size by half a point size to make it readable. While it's the best way to present text to low vision individuals, it's not the best presentation for most readers.
- Use a 12 point font size or larger. This is particularly important if you've got an over 40 target market. This isn't ageism but rather the fact that they need reading glasses so that small type is difficult to read.
- Consider line and character spacing. Are the letters too crammed together to read? If so, you'll loose readers.
The use and placement of images including photographs, drawings, charts and other graphics, help readers understand your information better. Take the time to ensure your images support your blog goals.
- Use the best images you have. Skip the out of focus photos and the free drawings that your audience has seen a million times before. Your goal is to pull your readers in by showing them the unexpected.
- Be consistent in your picture presentation. Depending on your topic and category, you may choose to use color photographs, black and white or sepia.
- Put an image near the top of your post. Since images pull readers in, put at least one at the top of each post. You can use more.
- Add related text to each image. Search engines can't see images. Therefore you need to associate keyword rich text with your pictures.
- Utilize visuals to increase reader comprehension. This means show readers screenshots, infographics and photos to get your point across. Provide examples and screenshots where appropriate.
Other content formats
Spruce up your blog with information that is presented via non-text formats.
- Become a film director. Add your own or someone else's video to your blog. Derek Halpern does this on his Social Triggers blog. I love how he uses everyday life to help his readers.
- Say your words. Incorporate audio into your blog. Many blogs have a weekly podcast as another way of reaching their target audience. (You can also distribute it via additional channels.) Jon Loomer has fun with his podcast that he lovingly calls a pubcast. He interviewed me when I passed 1,000 blog posts.
- Imbed presentations in blog posts. While this is a great way to extend a live presentation, you need to enhance the information. Ann Handley, rock star author of Content Rules, does a great job of this with her Bold Talk.
White space
Don't laugh. White space increases your content's readability.
- Think dramatic impact. Utilize white space for emphasis instead of using all capitals.
- Put in whitespace to separate different points. Guide your readers through your content by using whitespace to separate thoughts. Paragraph and line spacing can have a big impact on how well your text content is consumed. It also helps content scanning.
Information structure
Readers decide whether or not to read your blog based on how easy your information is to consume. Don't make them think too hard.
- Organize your thoughts in a logical manner. While it's efficient to write your content down as your thoughts flow, arrange your information so that it makes sense to your readers.
- Use outlining and headings to guide readers through your content. Think scanability.
Understand that readers shy away from long blocks of text. Make your information inviting to your audience.
- Avoid long, text only paragraphs. Keep it short and sweet.
- Use upper and lower case text. When you use all capitals, people think that you're shouting at them. Use other approaches to emphasize your points. Also, all capitals, even if the font distinguishes between upper and lower case, take longer to read.
- Include text call-outs or asides. Don't let the important elements of your content get lost. Make it stand out.
Blogs generally shouldn't sound like The New York Times or an academic journal.
- Choose easy, short words over big words. The shorter the better is the rule.
- Write human. Skip the corporate and marketing lingo. Sound like a real person talks.
These words at the top of your blog post are what pull readers in. Don't take my word for it, read the headline research.
- Use your key word phrase in the title, preferably near the beginning of the title. Keep titles under 70 characters. This helps search optimization.
- Select your words with care. There are different headline formulas that work better than others.
Your blog should be a content marketing publishing platform not a vehicle for marketing message distribution.
- Skip the promotion. It's a reader turnoff.
- Provide information readers want and seek. Marcus Sheridan is the king of content that sells without being promotional. Offer this type of blog posts to attract readers, prospects and search engines. His pool pricing article drove $2 million in sales. Use a calls-to-action where appropriate.
Blog visitors decide whether to read your blog in seconds, possibly never to return again, so take the time to make your posts more attractive and easier to consume.
Presentation matters for most blogs. Your lovingly crafted posts need additional help to transform them into easy-to-consume hits.
If your resources (including your time) are limited, then test what works best for your blog. This means slowly changing your blog over time or publishing easier-to-read articles less frequently.
What are your favorite blogging tips for making your content easier to read?
Happy Marketing,

Return on Authenticity:
Making Effective Storytelling and Content Performance Align
Join the discussion on Wednesday, October 29, 2014 at 10:00 AM PT/ 1:00 PM ET with Nancy Slavin, SVP of Marketing, Macy's Merchandising Group, and Dan Kimball, CMO, Thismoment.
According to research by Nielsen, 70 percent of global consumers trust online consumer reviews and rate reviews as the second most trusted form of advertising. And according to BazaarVoice, when it comes to trust, marketers may as well eliminate their own brand websites as a fountain of customer trust as only 16 percent of US consumers said they trust the content on a brand's website compared to the 51 percent who trust content generated by other users.
Today's digital currency is arguably authenticity, and what attracts customers - especially the digitally dependent, savvy millennial - is not just content. It is the delivery of authentic, unvarnished content from their peers.
Join the CMO Council on Wednesday, October 29, at 10am PST/ 1pm EST for a one-hour webcast that will invite industry experts in content marketing and user-generated content who are effectively leveraging authentic storytelling as part of their content marketing strategies.

Meh. I think the lens plate (or whatever it is called) on the Nexus 5 camera is a better way to go. More minimalist than a whole phone back plate.

I could've sworn I've seen a Sony commercial recently that showed them putting a large DSLR style lens on the back of a smart phone. I doubt they'd advertise something if they didn't already have a patent on it. Besides that I remember seeing a few non OEM companies coming out with something like that a few years back, I don't remember what phones they were available for (they were semi universal depending on the placement of the camera sensor on the phone) but I remember it wasn't available for whatever phone I had at the time. As the author stated, hopefully the USPTO checks for prior art.
