Wow, 10 was another crazy episode, nice to see Mikoto's feelings come out. Poor Natsuru, "They're like marshmellows!!" made me laugh. I hope there's a second series/season to this show, it's fun. Though with current revelations in the story, opening and endings don't fit so well any more.

There were some interesting character discussion opinions I wanted to comment on.
Shizuku doesn't fill this bill at all. She is very much at ease with her emotions, and very honestly and openly deals with them in the few scenes when she feels them to be out of synch (e.g. her self-reflection on feeling jealous in ep7 or a potentially missed chance in ep10). Also, she is completely in control of her behavior. And except for a gradual development from toyfriend to boyfriend, there are no major jumps from tsun to dere.
Mind you, I do see certain resemblances between Lisa Hayes/Madoka and Shizuku, in particular the strong personalities and their ability to succeed in what they start, I see several big differences which make Shizuku particularly appealing to me, and which justify calling her an example of a new archetype. More about that later.
No, there are two characters which I'd consider relatively close to Shizuku: Shinra from "They Are My Noble Masters" and naturally Senjogahara from Bakemonogatari. The defining quality is their playfulness and teasing disposition. The fact that this extends to sexiness doesn't hurt at all, but I wouldn't even say that this is "it". It's the mindset of expressing their minds and their feelings very openly and confidently (or "aggressively" if you prefer that).
Why do I consider this so very refreshing? Because as a lover of the tsundere template, I get burned (and irritated) again and again by their inability to properly act on their feelings. This leads to tension and drama which is usually good... but from time to time it's nice to have a girl just SAY what it feels and wants and ACT on it. The main difference between Senjogahara and Shizuku is Araragi: He's receptive and happy. Natsuru is a much harder nut to crack ... but both ACT decisively. And after the constant hesitation of the tsunderes, this is such a wonderful break.
Anyway, if you guys come up with female leads showing the following characterization, please by all means give me examples and hints. I'd gladly admit that the Shizuku template was already used well in the past - but I can't think of many examples at all:
1) Capable and confident, in a cool/calm way
2) Playful/flirtatious
3) Open and honest about their feelings, and acting on them
4) Overall kind disposition (devious streaks are welcome though)

If they're want to chain another Gundam reference into the show, maybe during the next episode, someone could try naming the katana in a certain person's hand (not Mikoto) "Gerbera Straight".

Treated equally, no. Romantic feelings in these situations are hardly equal, but these are the telling of stories, so why even include other characters not pertaining to the immediate romantic chemistry? If you're going to create characters with names, faces, and feelings, make them people, not extras. That's what I'm saying. But anyway, if you're happy, that's great.
Your message seems to me that if you want someone bad enough, just do whatever, without their consent and to hell with the consequences. You may get lucky. Pfft. In fact, I don't think Shizuku perfectly embodies everything you've put on that list as well as you seem to think. It rather seems like things just snapped into place to fit that train of thought. But since she pushes your kink buttons so hard, what can I say? *shrug*
As for examples of that character archetype, both male and female:
Kazuma from Kaze no Stigma
Nishino Tsukasa from Ichigo 100%
"By gum I'll get 'em kicking and screaming I will! And make 'em like it!"
Good for comedy, bad for romance (for my taste) unless you're some kind of masochist.
And before you hang me for that, in this recent episode she ran under some rather baffling contradictions, since she's always been getting her taste of the snack, for her to say she'd rather have him going after her baffled me. OF COURSE we like it when the one we love reciprocates that love. But seriously, come on, she'll just go ahead and rape him eventually. Its rather unconvincing to me that she's projecting this illusion that its anything but her voicing the fact she'd like it better if he openly admitted her feelings for him. She just gets what she wants and there are no real repercussions for her actions, when I would see other characters get the cold, cold shoulder for just doing what they wanted. *Sigh* Though as bitter as I might seem, I don't really hate her, I did in fact like Shinra from TAMNM.

You have managed to say why i think Shizuku isn't good.
And you realised this was a story, not a Shizuku fest.
Guess i'm not alone.
Just because Shizuku is a refreshing character archetype in this story and appeals to many audiences,she does not save it from its flaws.

So, Sakura goes out of character and drags Natsuru away and... they just let her? It takes them that long to mount a search, and the only idea that comes up is "they might have been attacked by White Kampfer"? I thought Shizuku was on the ball about that... was I wrong?
Yes, PORN!
Damn he's smooth.
Just great. Super evil, mind control, and a lesbian harem. It's just such an abrupt chance in character. I keep waiting for the punchline, but instead I just get more and more cheese.
And just what good is that remark going to do you, Miss Evil Overlord?

Instead it's revealed that she isn't really into her own looks and in fact her real aloofness is to stop herself from getting hurt by the plotting of said moderators/evil eyed sakura. In fact she does like natsuru probably because of his niave, I don't want to kill people attitude which did save her from a pyscho akane. Here sakura/shizuku are infact quite similar, their willing to do what it takes to get with the person they like, although sakura is willing to lie so this establishes the moral guides of their characters.
The whole point is that she in fact does like natsuru because she possibly thinks that he could like her for not just her beauty, and he's a good guy. Let's not forget that she is a girl, and that she does want to be with Natsuru in more than just oh hey kaede asked you to fuck me so i'll do it way, and more like hey i really like you and you wanna do it so i'm down with that kinda thing. This is hinted at during the whole Ima rape you scene, when she talks about her firsts. Very much like senjougahara she's a girl who wants to be loved. her attempts earlier where more to plant seeds for captain dunce to notice her.

Hnnn, seems while Mentar is glorifying Shizuku, Altima and Adr are not happy at the lack of a story behind the other characters, thus weaking the overall story, correct? seems to be the core of the argument and Shizuku is the focal point of it.
One can say that the others are not being treated fairly by the author but then again, in RL, we aren't treated fairly either and there's no 'author' to convinently complain to. Even if one pursues a guy/girl that they like, doesn't mean they'll always end up with them. Shizuku's not being as aggressive as she is just to be mean to the other girls - she rather likes them as friends (they're interesting) but she only got involved with them because of Natsuru so she doesn't have any obligation to keep the playing field 'fair' for the others. If she, Akane, and Mikoto were friends before they met Natsuru, then yeah there would be something akin to betrayal to hold her back.
As for her personality, she seems that she's been allowed to get her way throughout life and she's learned that almost no one refuses her because of her pedigree, attitude, and her beauty. She doesn't get flustered like the other girls because she's kept her emotions on lock. It seems that she used to be an ice queen but she's voluntarily breaking that down to go with a guy who doesn't chase after her at all. Maybe she likes the idea of being in control of a younger man in a relationship.

I'll say it again, do you really find it okay to just have someone do things against your will or without your consent? That's what she does, a lot. Lots of other character I would hear they being called a slut for this, or clingy. Frankly, that was what got on my nerves, nobody cites her lack of tact at all. Seriously, if I kiss someone in their sleep, or just on the spot and I don't know them, I'd expect someone to slap me. I wouldn't just do that, and I appreciate people who are affectionate, and I myself am an affectionate person.
There is little you could do that would change my mind here. Sorry.
Its less about me knowing that fictional stories have the hierarchy of main character/hero/heroine/ ---->supporting characters, and more about my feelings on the show's progression as well as my thoughts on Shizuku.

Shizuku gets more attention because Mikoto is a decoration and Akane is a gag character.
and Sakura being the main heroine (and final boss) has singled her out as rival.
Was this intentional? maybe, maybe not
Fiction is often unfair. There are always characters that are meant to be flat and caricatures. There is always a hierarchy.
Sometimes Bobba Fett really was meant to be that poor schmuck side character who was unceremoniously killed off by Luke Skywalker, despite how the EU wants to portray him otherwise.

See, thing is, why do we have to be Shizuku fans just to enjoy this work?Or better, why all the focus on the harem aspects?Did we already forget there was a story going on?
Much of the criticism of this story i see people giving it out there,is actually all valid.
My problem is that this thing has misrepresented itself.If it wanted to be about all of the fluffy aspects, it should be that way and represent itself as such.
Or, i should not had been drawn to this story at all.

again, your making this personal when in fact it isn't. I'm refering to the characters, and what they actually do. And really the whole convo in the almost rape scene again alludes to the fact that Shizuku does want natsuru for more than her conquest. Conquest is through humiliation, degradation and control over another, but when natsuru was leading she was submissive, clearly not the mindset of someone wanting to notch one on the bedpost.

The most important issue in Kampfer is clearly who he's going to end up with; in a secondary sense we care about what happens to the red/white/blue Kampfer wars.
Also, to the people looking for characters to compare Shizuku to; the most apt comparison is probably Ageha from TAMNM, not Hitagi or Shinra. I say this because relationship wise, Ageha is in the most similar spot to Shizuku in trying to snare a male who's loyal to another woman.
Ageha swoops into TAMNM and basically takes what she wants of the main character (nearly everything heh >_>), and forcefully flirts with him to the point of multiple kisses even as he's trying to stay loyal as the devoted servant of Shinra and co. She does attempt to sleep with him, although probably slightly less forceful in her attempt than Shizuku is in her seduction.
I usually like female characters who know what they want and aren't afraid to try to get it in these kinds of shows. The males are mostly spineless, so it's up to the females to make something happen if anything's going to happen.

Sorry, but that was quite a confusing reply of yours. Could you please try to differentiate between what I actually say and what you THINK I said?
Nishino is not exactly what I have in mind. She's way too normal that 1) would apply. All the other points would also be "more yes than no, but this trait isn't so particularly noticeable about her to list it". These points should be so obvious that you'd list her quickly in a characterization summary.
Particularly with the current situation - Natsuru unreasonably hardwired on a girl which dislikes him - you have two real options: Go after him the way Shizuku does, patiently and repeatedly, to make him notice you and gradually change his mind. Or step back "tactfully" and wait for Kingdom come. Akane demonstrates nicely how well that works. In Real Life too, by the way. At least, in my experience (I've tried things both ways, with comparable results).
"She'll just go ahead and rape him eventually" you say. Well, obviously not. She would have had a chance in ep10 to do just that. But she didn't. She doesn't want to escalate to this level without at least Natsuru's consent (passive), and preferably his own initiative (active). So there's no contradiction at all, unless you incorrectly label her as a marauding kiss fiend who only wants to ravage the victim's body for her own pleasure. Maybe you should reevaluate your prejudice then.
And about what you'd rather see or not - sounds to me like the real beef you have with the show is Natsuru, then. HE is the guy who tolerates Shizuku's advances and shows a cold shoulder to the other girls *shrug*

Shizuku rejected Natsuru's "advances" there especially because she knew it was Kaede's sheme and as prideful as she is she didn't want to play along with it. And even after that she somehow minded to miss such a great opportunity.
Ialso feel it unjustified that while Shizuku always suceeds Akane's plans always shutted down. Mikoto is a late comer so she's out of picture. But Akane should have also her moments with Natsuru.
I mean she's also trying hard despite her clumsiness and shyness. Maybe even harder than Shizuku. But so far either Natsuru was dense like hell or something happened to make her moves fail.
It isn't realism as the luck(or anime's director?) always favors one character's moves while the other always fails. In reality someone shouldn't be always lucky.
(not to mention Natsuru-level dense people shouldn't exist in the real world making the debate about realism already meaningless)
I just want to see what will happen as Akane suceeds one of her moves...

Herpes Cure 2017 – Cure For Herpes 2017
What is herpes simplex?
Herpes simplex is very common; it is known as a viral infection and disease. It is related to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or diseases (STDs). HSV or herpes simplex viruses is the main cause. These common viruses are not dangerous, but contagious. People who are infected usually have some common symptoms. Common symptoms of herpes simplex are cold sores, genital inflammation, or conjunctivitis. People who are infected with HSV have infectious sores and painful blisters around the mouth or on the genitals.
Two common types of herpes: herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2). Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 are also known as human herpesvirus 1 and 2 (HHV-1 and HHV-2). Both HSV-1 (which produces most cold sores) and HSV-2 (which produces most genital herpes) are popular and infectious.
Herpes simplex 1 (HSV – 1) is more popular than Herpes simplex 2 (HSV – 2) is. According to researchers, HSV -1 seems to be more dangerous than HSV – 2 because HSV – 2 is less prevalent than HSV- 1 is.
Because herpes simplex is contagious, it can be easily spread through direct contact with an infected individual (usually direct contact with saliva) who is producing and shedding the virus.
Main points about herpes:
Herpes simplex is one of the most common contagious diseases. In other words, it is related to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Here we discuss about how to treat herpes safely, properly, and effectively at home with no side effects!
The fact is that some particular antibiotics can be used to treat and cure some curable STDs. However, we cannot remove herpes or herpes simplex virus 2 (also called genital herpes) completely. In other words, once herpes simplex virus 2 enters our body (genital herpes), the virus will stay in our body forever. In addition, we cannot get rid of herpes virus forever without normal treatment. We can only treat and relieve symptoms with normal treatments.

Some of the Tour de France's best-known mountain climbs are more difficult than Alpe d'Huez, like the Mont Ventoux. Others, like the Galibier or Tourmalet are much longer and higher. But none are more emblematic than Alpe d'Huez – and as the centenary Tour's way of underlining just how important it is, today, for the first time, the Alpe will be tackled twice on the same stage.
Already ridden 27 times in the Tour's history since it first put in an appearance in 1952, Alpe d'Huez is significant not just because it has seen race-winning moves, most recently in 2008, when Spain's Carlos Sastre broke away to claim the stage win and the lead. Nor is it because some of those who have raised their arms in triumph after passing through the short tunnel in a ski station at its summit include the greatest riders of the race, such as Italy's Marco Pantani, winner there in 1995 and 1997. Nor is it important just because it is the one climb of every Tour guaranteed to be packed with fans along all of its 13.8 kilometres – more than a million, for example, were said to be there in 2004.
The reason for Alpe d'Huez's pre- eminence in the Tour is very simple. It has become the ascent that every climber in the peloton dreams of winning. Victory there automatically puts you in the realms of greatness – although, as Lance Armstrong, who triumphed in 2001 and 2004, has discovered, it does not automatically keep you there.
For proof of how deeply engrained the Alpe d'Huez is in the Tour's collective consciousness, on each of its 21 hairpins there is a plaque with a name of one of the riders previously to have won on the climb – something no other mountain ascent has in France. Alpe d'Huez also always marks a watershed in the Tour. In 2003, for example, it was where it became clear that Armstrong was in for the toughest Tour of his career.
"For me the toughest things about the Alpe d'Huez are the hairpin bends," said Graham Jones, the former Peugeot pro and BBC cycling analyst who rode up the Alpe in the 1981 and 1983 Tours. "They flatten off and then kick up again and that breaks your rhythm. It's not as hard, physically, as the Ventoux, but the crowds encroaching on you make it much more difficult to race."
As for doing it twice, with a vertiginous descent off the short Col de Sarenne in between, Tour director, Christian Prudhomme, told The Independent: "We already wanted to do that in the 2011 race."
Apart from the historical justification for doing the climb twice, another reason, added Prudhomme, is "that way TV viewers will see both the 'crazy' side of the Alpe, and the other side, where [on the descent] the race will be plunged into total silence and there will be no fans at all. No press cars, I imagine, and certainly no publicity or guest cars. It'll be a real contrast."
There is one drawback: both Chris Froome and world time-trial champion, Tony Martin, have said the descent of the Sarenne, prior to tackling the Alpe again, is dangerous. For Prudhomme it is "sinuous but not too complicated".
As for going up the Tour's most hallowed climb twice, for most of the riders, while special, it will not make more demands on them than any other ascent. "For riders climbing the Alpe twice is no more complicated or easy than doing any two other cols," Jones said, "but what makes it stand out as a climb is the whole mystique and sense of theatre surrounding the Alpe d'Huez. And the atmosphere.
"Tour photographers are already tweeting that there aren't many fans on [yesterday's] time trial because they're all on the Alpe. It's going to be very special."

Garmin has recalled approximately 1.25 million of its GPS devices due to a battery fault that causes overheating, which the company says may lead to potential "fire hazards".
Garmin has launched its latest nuvi range of in-car GPS units in Australia, banking on an ultra-thin design and a high resolution, capacitive touchscreen to win over consumers.
While it won't affect everyone, a serious bug reared its head at the weekend with me. When you drive into a tunnel and then hit a traffic jam, Apple Maps keeps going at the same speed. While this is something I've actually wanted for tunnel navigatio...
We're now nearing the end of financial year, which means the sales are starting and tax return time is just around the corner. So why not pick up a budget GPS unit before 30 June?
It's hard to believe Easter has crept up upon us already; it only seems like yesterday that we were doing our Christmas shopping! As Easter comes around, so do more holidays — and any time off work or school gets a big tick from us!

I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.

Genetic Algorithm for Multihoming Cell Assignment Problem in Wireless ATM Network
In the design of cellular telecommunications networks, the handover and cabling cost management play an important role. In this paper, the authors propose a cell assignment problem, which assign cells in Personal Communication Service (PCS) to switches in wireless ATM network in an optimal manner. This is a complex integer programming problem and modeled as multi-homing cell assignment problem. Since finding an optimal solution of this problem is NP-hard. The proposed method, based on genetic algorithm, solve this problem. They implement this problem in MATLAB using GA and find better results.

A Personal Appeal -"Help Sue through her most trying time"
She continues today to survive through life support systems. In the absence of controlling commands from her brain, she continues to breathe through a ventilator. Her heartbeat and blood pressure artificially induced and manage by a combination of medicines.
We know that the doctors have done everything they could for her. In Sue's condition, we know there is nothing more they can do. All they can do now is to maintain the life support system that is keeping her alive up to this time. They will keep her stable and breathing for as long as her family wants her to remain alive.

Untitled Jersey City Project: More Than Just A Buzz -More than Just An Action-Drama Series!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Untitled Jersey City Project. All opinions are 100% mine.
FX TV Networks is no doubt creating quite a buzz about the soon-to-hit air drama and action series which is yet to be titled. Yes, you read it right! It is still untitled and that's where the entire buzz is coming from!
Called for now as "Untitled Jersey City Project", Fox Entertainment's FX Networks has put together eight short form episodes of the series, unfinished, untitled, and termed a 'work in progress' – an experimental television drama and action series. Premiered during the last Emmy Awards and directed by Daniel Minahan (who also directed the highly rated "True Blood" and "Game of Thrones") the Untitled Jersey City Project promises to be another exciting television series everyone should look forward to watching. But, the most intriguing aspect of this experimental project is the fact that it will be the first ever series that aims to combine the real life experience and audience participation generated only by reality television shows with the excitement and mystery of a cloak and dagger drama series.
Consider for example the series location – the action revolves around the fast developing coastline of Jersey City which in real life has been attracting hordes of high end developers and foreign financiers lately. (Jersey City was a miserable place of urban decay in the 1970's. It was shrouded with corruption and run by a local administration well known for backroom deals and cronyism.) The Untitled Jersey City Project chronicles the development of waterfront stadium along the harbor facing Manhattan and in great similarity to actual developments in the Jersey City coastline. The story centers around two young Jersey upstart architects hired by a real estate tycoon to design Waterfront Field. To give it the twists and twits of the old game, the story presents a rich and mysterious Taiwanese couple who finance the Jersey City tycoon, an undercover FBI agent acting as the tycoon's driver, a newspaper reporter bent on discovering and exposing the tycoon's illegal activities, corrupt union men working in cahoots with the developer, and a budding but already corrupted local politician to complete the scene. In short, this is all about a new game to gain fame and fortune using the old rules reminiscent of the old Jersey City in real life!
Preview Episode 2 of this yet to be titled television series and see for yourself what the buzz is all about. Watch it here!
Here is the most exciting part about this project! You can help name the show and possibly get acknowledged for providing the appropriate name for the series. This is your chance to have a short lived shot at fame and stardom yourself. Just hush over the Untitled Jersey City Project page and submit as many entries as you like.
Wait, there's more to this project than what everybody else know ! If you wish to try your hand at script writing and want to put your skills to a test, why don't you join in this work-in-progress drama and submit your own ideas or screenplay about where the story should go! They have developed three scenes where you can contribute your own input. Who knows this could be your own long hoped for instant road to fame and fortune!
Please watch the episode teasers and share with me your thoughts. Tell me what you honestly feel about this upcoming series.

K-12 Education in Russia and the United States - A Comparative View
In this study Russia's 8th graders ranked #9 globally. Comparatively, American 8th graders ranked lower at #11. The 1995 statistics were even worst for the American 8th graders. In that year (1995), the Russian students ranked 14 while the American students were way below at # 40. Although there was a marked improvement by American students from 1995 to 2007, their poor performance never-the-less left them out of the top 10 and continued to raise concern among American educators especially so since the United States spends 5.7% of its GDP on education compared to only 3.8% by Russia.

Talk of a crisis at Liverpool proved risibly premature at Anfield last night as they swept aside Stoke City, whose obduracy cost Rafa Benitez's side dear last season in their quest for a first league title since 1990.
Fernando Torres marked his new, £110,000-a-week contract with an early goal, the Spaniard's first of the campaign. Benitez's £17m right-back Glen Johnson put the seal on a dazzling home debut with the second, while Dirk Kuyt and substitute David Ngog added late goals to banish the negativity which enveloped Liverpool after the first-day setback at Tottenham.
Johnson's principal rival for the man-of-the-match award was Steven Gerrard, who was behind each of the first three goals. If he had done nothing else, the England midfielder's high-speed "Cruyff turn" in the build-up to Kuyt's goal deserved the thunderous acclaim on his substitution.
Benitez tacitly confirmed afterwards that he had felt the pressure of a disappointing start and a modest transfer budget, suggesting that he had "decided to stay" out of loyalty to "the fans, staff and players". He added that his "commitment" was "100 per cent" and revealed that a deal to sign centre-back Sotirios Kyrgiakos from AEK Athens was almost complete.
Hailing the impact of Johnson, his close-season capture from Portsmouth, Benitez said: "We were looking for a player with quality going forward. He created chances and also scored a very good goal."
With a rare flash of humour, Benitez noted that Liverpool were already leading one league table – for the most number of stitches inserted in their players' injuries. Jamie Carragher made his 400th Premier League appearance last night with 21 in the head wound sustained in Sunday's collision with Martin Skrtel, who sat out Stoke's visit with five and a fractured jaw. Torres ended the evening with "at least 10" above an eye, according to his manager.
Stoke never looked capable of a first top-flight victory at Anfield. Tony Pulis, their manager, entered the press room saying: "Beaten by a better team. I hold my hands up." Pulis described criticism of Benitez and his players as "crazy", adding: "If they keep everyone fit, they've got the quality to be up there. I'm not saying they'll win it, but they'll be up there with Man United, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal. Gerrard's touch for the third goal was the mark of a world-class player, but there's not just him and Torres. They've got some smashing players."
The Potteries side had held Liverpool to 0-0 twice last season, surviving a mysteriously disallowed goal by Gerrard at Anfield. Had Liverpool won both matches they would have taken the title on goal difference.
Pulis had boldly changed the side that beat Burnley on Saturday, dropping Ricardo Fuller and Liam Lawrence to the bench. If the plan was to swamp midfield and frustrate Liverpool, it was shredded by a fourth-minute home goal. Lucas forced the ball to the right of the Stoke area, from where Gerrard deftly cut the ball back for Torres to volley home from 12 yards.
Liverpool might have doubled their advantage in the 21st minute, the unmarked Emiliano Insua sidefooting wide after Kuyt flicked Torres's cross towards the far post. The fragility of the lead was promptly underlined when a towering throw by Rory Delap was glanced back, perhaps unintentionally, by the 18-year-old Spaniard Daniel Ayala to Pepe Reina.
Stoke had scored in precisely such fashion against Burnley. Yet when a goal did stem from a set-piece, on half-time, it fell to Liverpool. Gerrard's corner was met by a Kuyt header which James Beattie blocked on the line, only for Johnson to convert the loose ball by executing a scissors-kick of which Denis Law would have been proud.
Any lingering hope Stoke had vanished with Reina's diving save from Delap's drive early in the second half. The link play between Gerrard and Torres, with stylish embellishments by the marauding Johnson and Yossi Benayoun, took over again, taking Liverpool supporters' minds off their disquiet over the sale of Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid. After Gerrard's brilliance enabled Kuyt to slide in the third, Johnson further endeared himself to the Kop with a cross Sorensen could only touch on to the bar. Ngog headed in the rebound to add insult to injury time for Stoke.
Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Reina (7); Johnson (9), Carragher (7), Ayala (6), Insua (7); Mascherano (8), Lucas (7); Kuyt (7) (Riera (5), 82), Gerrard (8) (Voronin (5), 82), Benayoun (7); Torres (8) (Ngog (5), 85). Substitutes not used: Cavalieri (gk), Babel, Kelly, Dossena.

Issues relating to decision-making competence are of increasing interest in the field of gerontology as the average lifespan increases, along with the number of older individuals who are faced with important life decisions having to do with health care, finances, end-of-life care, and housing. One focus of research in this realm is the assessment of the ability to both comprehend and make decisions in people who may be experiencing initial stages of dementia or whose health problems are in danger of impairing their mental abilities. It is also critical, however, that we understand how judgment and decision-making processes in healthy older adults are affected by factors associated with aging. Changes in our society have resulted in these individuals being faced with increasingly complex choices in a wide-variety of domains with important implications for physical and financial well-being, and continued independence. It is also the case that as families become more widely dispersed and the rate of technological change accelerates, older adults may be faced with making decisions without adequate social and knowledge-based supports. Finally, older adults are increasingly and disproportionately targeted for marketing scams. Thus, it is important to understand the impact that aging has on the ability to be effective evaluators of information and to make adaptive choices. The proposed research will systematically examine decision-making and aging through a series of seven studies in which individuals aged from 25 to 85 will be tested. The specific focus of the research is on the interaction between cognitive ability, emotion, experience, and motivation in determining age differences in performance. Research on judgment and decision-making processes will also help us understand the adaptive processes underlying many older adults'ability to maintain effective skills in these domains in the face of normative declines in ability.
Effective decision-making is an important adaptive skill that is essential to older adults'ability to function independently in an increasingly complex world. The results of this research will assist us in maximizing such capabilities in later life by identifying those factors that make older adults most vulnerable to poor judgment, which in turn should assist us in structuring decision contexts to minimize their impact. This, in turn, should serve to boost well-being in later life.

Theatre, Sacrifice, Ritual by Erika Fischer-Lichte
Book DescriptionIn this fascinating volume, acclaimed theatre historian Erika Fischer-Lichte reflects on the role and meaning accorded to the theme of sacrifice in Western cultures as mirrored in particular fusions of theatre and ritual. Theatre, Sacrifice, Ritual presents a radical re-definition of ritual theatre through analysis of performances as diverse as: * Max Reinhardt's new people's theatre * the mass spectacles of post-revolutionary Russia * American Zionist pageants * the Olympic Games. In offering both a performative and a semiotic analysis of such performances, Fischer-Lichte expertly demonstrates how theatre and ritual are fused in order to tackle the problem of community-building in societies characterised by loss of solidarity and disintegration, and exposes the provocative connection between the utopian visions of community they suggest, and the notion of sacrifice. This innovative study of twentieth-century performative culture boldly examines the complexities of political theatre, propaganda and manipulation of the masses, and offers a revolutionary approach to the study of theatre and performance history.

Whatever made me pick up that sax keeps me from being able to put it down for long. The best sax players throughout the relatively short history of the instrument continue to inspire those of us who play this crazy horn to push forward with new ideas and a closer connection to what makes us tick.
Perhaps you found this site looking for some great sax in San Diego. I have some music for you to listen to and I also keep a listing of any upcoming public gigs over there on the right sidebar.
I usually perform with my quartet but also do a fair amout of work with other bands and sometimes just perform solo with backing tracks.
I also do a fair share of private events with my group and many others. For anyone interested in live music for an event, please see my Bookings page.
If you would like to be informed of where I am performing, I send out an occasional email. There's a sign up for that at the top of the page.
"There's plenty of Stan Getz in his airy tone and lyric style, but, to his credit, Lessman pushes beyond these Getz trademarks. By blending elements of music from slick-sounding Southern California, where he used to live, with a grittier influence of musical Chicago, where he's now based, Lessman produces a worthy style of his own".Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

Bison Nature's Best Is Back
Bison once roamed the plains of North America in numbers so great the early explorers could not count them. They were variously described as "numbers-numberless," "the country was one robe," and "the plains were black and appeared as if in motion." Bison have been called the most important wild animals in the development of North America. The centre of life for the Plains Indians, providing them with food, clothing, shelter and much of their culture. Bison also sustained the lives of the explorers and settlers going west.
By the late 1800's, Bison were dangerously close to extinction. Through the efforts of early conservationists and ranchers who knew the value of Bison, they are no longer an endangered species and are thriving across North America. Today more than 600,000 bison are being raised in public and private herds making it possible to enjoy the many advantages of this truly unique alternative red meat souce. Bison ....

A US$300m rescue of some financial institutions hit by the Baring collapse was launched yesterday in Singapore.
The Singapore Finance Minister, Richard Hu, said a special $300m credit fund, drawn from local financial institutions, had been set up. But he hoped this would not need to be drawn on, as the Singapore International Monetary Exchange is believed to have sufficent margin deposits to offset Baring Futures Singapore's unrealised losses.
But Barings' losses widened further yesterday as Tokyo shares dropped again. Uncertainty about potential further losses will continue as long as any contracts remain open. If the entire portfolio remains open, each 1 per cent fall in the Nikkei index will raise losses by an estimated $70m.
Exchange authorities in Japan and Singapore are racing to close down the derivative positions left behind by the fugitive Barings trader, Nick Leeson. To end this haemorrhage, banks acting on behalf of the exchanges in Osaka and Singapore moved yesterday to dispose of as many of these open futures contracts as possible. Unconfimred reports said that Daiwa, acting on behalf the Osaka exchange, had closed out half of Barings' 16,000 contracts.
The Nikkei 225 index, on which Mr Leeson's derivative instruments were based, dropped to its lowest level since December 1993 yesterday.
Ending the uncertainty over further losses by closing down the contracts was seen as the key element in clearing the path of administrators, who were last night continuing urgent negotiations on several fronts with British and foreign banks interested in buying parts of Barings.
The 38 corporate members of the Singapore International Monetary Exchange (Simex) expected to be called on to raise a special levy to settle outstanding debts left in the wake of the Barings collapse. Simex officials refused to say how much money will be needed, but futures trading companies believe they could be asked for up to US$5m each.
This is an unwelcome burden but relatively modest in comparison with Singapore's share of the total losses incurred by Barings, which have broken through $1bn. This assumes that the loss is more or less equally divided between Singapore and Osaka, the two markets in which the fatal futures contracts and options were traded.
Simex is unhappy with talk of a bail-out but there is no other way to describe the money required to keep the exchange on a firm financial footing once the Baring debris settles.
Simex has contingency funds but they will not be adequate to cover this collapse.
All corporate members of Simex are required to leave a $250,000 security deposit with the exchange. There is also a compensation fund, believed to contain some $50m, derived from a levy on member's profits.
However the exchange is also said to be holding up to $550m in margin deposits advanced by Barings on the contracts that turned sour.
The list of members is largely blue-chip, including local subsidiaries of NM Rothschild & Sons and HSBC Holdings, from Britain; Chase Manhattan, Citicorp, Merrill Lynch, Shearson Lemahn Brothers from the United States, and main Japanese finance houses including Nomura and Daiwa.
The Singapore authorities say they plan to toughen supervision in the light of the Barings debacle. They say they were never told of any problems with Mr Leeson's positions because he was meeting his margin calls until Thursday last week, when he disappeared.

She has gone there and nothing happened.
Mrs. Buhari had on Monday met with the First Lady of the United States, FLOTUS, Michelle Obama.

Institute for Employment Research (IAB) of the Federal Employment Agency (BA)
Federal Employment Agency (BA)
WeLL Employee Survey
WeLL-ADIAB – WeLL survey data linked to administrative data of the IAB
For the project "Further Training as a Part of Lifelong Learning" (WeLL) the employees of few establishments participating in the IAB Establishment Panel were interviewed by telephone about their further training activities. This survey is designed as a longitudinal survey with four survey waves conducted in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The first wave of the panel "WeLL" was conducted by the Institute for Applied Social Sciences (infas) between autumn 2007 and January 2008. For this some 6400 employees from 149 establishments were interviewed.
The survey design is a two-step sample for which first a sample of establishments was drawn which was stratified according to the criteria of establishment size, sector, location, further training activities and investment activities. In the second step the respondents were drawn from the total of employees in these establishments. Owing to this specific survey design the sample is not representative of German establishments and employees but is specifically designed for analysing in-firm further training activities.
As part of the project "Further Training as a Part of Lifelong Learning" (WeLL) an extensive innovative dataset is being established which contains information about further vocational training from employers and employees. In a first step the FDZ makes available a scientific use file for external users. This dataset contains the data from the employee survey supplemented by some establishment information.
In this survey the further training activities and the employment biographies of the respondents from the beginning of 2006 up until the time when the survey was conducted were recorded in detail. In addition, socio-demographic characteristics and information about income, household, job satisfaction and expectations regarding the future were collected.
More detailed information about the dataset can be found in the outline. The questionnaires and the FDZ Datenreport on the dataset can be found under working tools.
The panel "WeLL" has been prepared for external researchers as a scientific use file, which can be obtained via the FDZ. Further information about this is available under the heading data access.
Back to top
WeLL is additionally available as a version in which the survey data are linked with administrative data: WeLL-ADIAB. This dataset makes it possible to analyze survey and administrative data for the WeLL respondents simultaneously. The linked administrative data set contains both variables with individual characteristics and characteristics of the establishments the respondents work at. The administrative data cover the years 1975-2010. Thus, episodes which started or ended after the actual interview are included as well. Furthermore information from the IAB Establishment Panel can be linked to the sampled establishments in WeLL.
An overview of the WeLL-ADIAB dataset can be found in the outline. For more detailed information please see the FDZ Datenreport 01/2014 under working tools.
WeLL-ADIAB access is possible via on-site use and subsequently also via remote data access.

River is in love with Winnie the Pooh, who she has so lovingly nicknamed, "Honey."
It all started while we were in Vegas in April for a dear friend's wedding, when we took the kids into a Disney outlet store and let them each pick a small something. River had something in her hand that she had decided on, and when we brought a little Pooh bear to her, she threw whatever it was she had originally chosen on the floor and embraced him.
On the ridiculously long drive home from that trip, she and the big babies watched the Winnie the Pooh Movie on repeat for a few hours. Now, it's her go to. And she sings along, and recites lines from the movie. Anyway, a Pooh party was a given when it came time to plan her party.
So here it is, River's Hundred Acre Wood party.

Who Pooped in the Park? Acadia National Park by Gary D Robson
Book DescriptionLittle Michael is terrified of wild animals, particularly bears and mountain lions. His sister Emily enjoys tormenting her little brother. Wildlife can be elusive, and both are disappointed when, at first, they don't encounter many animals in the park. The kids quickly learn, however, that there are animals all around, and these creatures leave behind scat and tracks. Before long, the kids are able to recognize bat guano, distinguish deer scat from other kinds of scat, and determine what an owl has dined on recently. Fun animal facts are offered in ?The Straight Poop? fact boxes. Colorful illustrations of animals and their scat and tracks supplement this lively tale, and a quick-reference chart at the back makes field identification a breeze!
