The people called Americans continued to sleep. As we mentioned earlier, they existed in a collective nightmare, which was shaped and guided by their highest-ranking leaders, including the most creepy and - overtly, comically - evil-like person to hold high office since - well, the comparison is difficult.
The people called Americans could not, it seemed, wake up from this nightmare wherein their two highest-ranking elected leaders were so clearly the wrong people for their positions, so ill-meaning in every way, that the situation defied even Nixonian standards of White House-based nefariousness.
There was a group of people, called the Americans, who once had a very vivid nightmare, simultaneously.

Siasto offers yet another approach to improve collaboration inside teams. It splits the workflow into projects with its own tasks, files, discussions, and helps people to quickly figure out the current agenda and get into the working process.
Integration with file sharing services like Dropbox, as well as with Google Calendar and Gmail makes it even easier to keep all the work-related data in one place.
The client had first approached RubyGarage with the requirement to add a couple of features to the already existing solution and make a mobile application for it.
However, when we looked deeper into the code, we realized it had no mechanism to make us sure any changes in one place will not affect other functionality.
Our developers were fully responsible for code refactoring, adding new features and creating a mobile application. Our designers were occasionally helping with the lacking screens. Currently the project doesn't require our assistance and we help only when new functionality is needed.
In a week we covered the primary user scenarios with automation tests to be sure that any further changes in the code won't cause any additional problems.
Whenever we touched the code later to add the required functionality, we made code refactoring and repaid the technical debt. This approach allowed the client to minimize the spendings connected with the required back-end optimization.
Later we've done the iOS application for the service and the API required for third-party app integration.
Quite simply, I can't give the RubyGarage team high enough praise. Whatever I may manage to scribble down will totally fail to represent my admiration of their abilities, and so all I will say is that any opportunity to work with RubyGarage should be grasped with both hands.

By Garry Mitchell, Associated Press Writer
MOBILE, Ala. A man who authorities say tried to break onto the set of ABC's Dancing With the Stars was ticketed on his way to California and let go, despite telling a police officer in Alabama that his plan to meet contestant Shawn Johnson was "a little bit crazy."
Robert O'Ryan, 34, was arrested in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and police said a search of his car turned up a shotgun and handgun, both loaded, along with duct tape and love letters. The celebrity gymnast's family obtained a restraining order against O'Ryan the next day, saying she feared for her life.
O'Ryan was on his way to California when a police officer spotted him driving erratically around 1:30 a.m. March 19 on Interstate 10 in Loxley, a small town east of Mobile. During a half-hour traffic stop, O'Ryan told the officer that he was traveling to meet the Olympic gold medalist, according to a video recorded by the officer's dashboard camera.
"I'm meeting her there. I've been communicating with her. And, uh, basically I'm going to try to get her to marry me," O'Ryan said, adding that Johnson was on TV.
But when pressed by the officer, who apparently didn't know who Johnson was, O'Ryan said he'd only spoken to the 17-year-old Johnson in his dreams.
"I know it sounds a little bit crazy, but my intuition tells me we're going to have a beautiful relationship together," O'Ryan said in the video first obtained by Mobile TV station WKRG.
The officer then allowed O'Ryan to continue his trip to California after ticketing him for having no insurance and driving with an expired license plate.
Loxley Police Chief Chip Cason said Thursday the officer, a 27-year police veteran, acted properly and didn't see a need to search the vehicle. Cason said the officer didn't recognize the celebrity dancer's name and there was no way for the officer to know the man's intentions. He said the Los Angeles prosecutor's office has asked Cason not to comment further.
Cason said the officer who wrote the ticket wasn't available for comment Thursday.
O'Ryan was being held Thursday on $220,000 bail on suspicion of carrying a loaded firearm in public. His public defender, Judith Greenberg, didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
According to the restraining order application in California, O'Ryan was stopped by security at CBS Studios, the lot where Dancing With the Stars is staged, after he jumped on a fence on Monday afternoon.
Court records state that he told security guards and police in California that he packed up all his belongings and traveled from Florida in the hopes of being with Johnson.

Boulder Creek Trail
Just about any place you find on TravelOregon.com can be added to your own Oregon Roadtrippers Account. Find out how.
Get on the road with Roadtrippers
We've partnered with Roadtrippers to provide a great way to plan a trip around Oregon. So start planning your next road trip to here, there or pretty much anywhere in Oregon.
The Boulder Creek Trail is within the Boulder Creek Wilderness and no motorized or mechanized equipment is permitted, including mountain bikes. The trail travels on and off Boulder Creek for the lower six miles, then leaves the creek and proceeds along the ridgetop to the Calapooya Divide. This is a fairly steep trail with many stretches exceeding 15% grade. The trail winds mostly through a closed canopy of Douglas-fir and hemlock, with very few open vistas available. About two miles up from the bottom is a large open stand of old growth ponderosa pine. This area is known as Pine Bench and is the most popular spot in the Wilderness. A small springs is located on the north side of the bench about 150 feet off the trail. This trail can be walked in one day, but an overnight campout makes a more pleasant hike. Hiking the trail from the top and coming out to a vehicle waiting at the bottom is the easiest way to hike the entire length of this arduous trail.
During the summer of 96′ the Spring fire burned through 11,550 acres in the South half of the Boulder Creek Wilderness. Along the trail, the fire burned mostly the brush under the canopy, leaving the tree tops, however there are a few areas where the fire burned trees as well.

Hansgrohe named "Brand of the Century"
Hansgrohe is one of the strongest brands in Germany. This is affirmed by the decision of an prominent advisory board to include the brand name of the global mixer specialist from the Black Forest in the famous compendium "Marken des Jahrhunderts – Leuchttürme auf dem Markenmeer" (Brands of the Century – Beacons in a Sea of Brands), and to award the company with the "German Standards Brand Award". The award was presented at a major gala event at the Adlon Hotel in Berlin by the publisher of the "Brands of the Century", Dr. Florian Langenscheidt. In receiving the award, Hansgrohe has joined an exclusive group of around 250 German brands, regarded as representatives of their product category with a unique selling point. An eminent advisory board of renowned brand experts chose Hansgrohe as "Brand of the Century" in the "Bathroom mixer" product category. "We are absolutely delighted to receive this special recognition", said Siegfried Gänßlen, CEO of Hansgrohe SE. "Not only does it acknowledge that the Hansgrohe brand enjoys a high level of customer recognition, it also confirms that the brand is held in exceptionally high regard both at home and abroad. Indeed, lots of our customers view Hansgrohe as a prime example of top quality 'Made in Germany', top design and innovative technologies."
Beacons in a Sea of Brands
In its book publication "Brands of the Century", the Deutsche Standards EDITIONEN (German Standards Editions) publishing house recounts the histories of leading German brands using text and images, resulting in an impressive overall picture of Germany's economic strength. The publishing house is also celebrating its decade of success with a particularly opulent anniversary edition entitled "Beacons in a Sea of Brands", lavishly designed by renowned media designer Mike Meiré. With an initial print run of 20,000 copies in three languages, German, English and Mandarin, "Brands of the Century" is widely distributed both nationally and internationally via bookshops and political and commercial organisations.
Hansgrohe – the original from the Black Forest
During its 111-year history, the company Hansgrohe, with headquarters in Schiltach in the Black Forest, has acquired a reputation in the sanitation sector as one of the innovative leaders in technology, design and sustainability. With its mixers, showers and shower systems, Hansgrohe creates the original products that make the bathroom more functional, more comfortable and more beautiful. It is no coincidence that they can be found in prominent prestige projects such as on the giant cruiser "Queen Mary II", in Terminal 5 of Heathrow Airport in London, in the tallest man-made structure ever built, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, as well as at the Chancellor's office in Berlin, in the Yoo luxury apartments in New York or at the Masdar City Institute of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi. The company and its products were honoured with a myriad awards, among the latest ones being the "Umsicht Science Award", the "Designpreis der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 2012" (Design Award 2012 of the Federal Republic of Germany) and the "iF Gold Award 2012" In 2011, the company generated sales of about EUR 764 million with its Axor, Hansgrohe, Pharo and Pontos brands (2010: EUR 693 million). The Hansgrohe Group currently has a global workforce of about 3,400 employees, with about two-thirds of them working in Germany. The company, which takes tough action against product piracy and intellectual property theft, manufactures its products in six German plants, in France, the Netherlands, in the U.S. and in China.
Hansgrohe supplies taps and mixers for showers, baths, basins and kitchens, along with other bathroom products, from Axor and Hansgrohe.Learn more

Michele Flournoy or Ashton Carter are names mentioned as backup in the event of a Hagel fail.
My guess is the original plan was for Rice at State and Kerry at Defense. At least we dodged that bullet.

Naan, Indian bread
Naan, Indian bread
The naan is by far the most well known Indian bread. I remember sometimes when you meet new people; the first thing they tell you because you are Indian is " Oh I love Indian food.. the Chicken Tikka and Naan bread
Anyway, I promised to share the recipe with some of my non-Indian friends.
So…! Let's get started.
Here's What you will need:
Makes 10 Naans
500 grams 4 1/2 cups – All Purpose Flour.
1 1/2 tsp Instant Dry Yeast
1 tbsp Sugar
1 tbsp Oil
1 tsp Salt
1 Egg
150 grams / 1/2 cup Yogurt
1/4 cup warm water. (plus extra is needed)
Minced Garlic in melted butter or oil
Nigella Seeds (Kalunji)
Melted Butter or Oil
In a measuring cup – add warm water, yeast, sugar and oil. Let rest for a while until foamy (about 5 minutes)
Next add to it the Egg, Yogurt, Salt. Stir well.
Place the All purpose flour in a bowl. Add the above yeast / yogurt mixture to the flour and knead well. If needed add more water or flour.
The dough should be soft but not too sticky.Continue to knead for about 5 to 7 minutes.
Do your finger test.. (by now you know what I mean)
Fingers in….
Fingers out… See soft and springy..! Your dough is ready.
Place in an oiled bowl and let rest for at least 6 to 8 hours. I usually keep over night in the fridge.
During the resting stage if the dough does rise more than double in volume – just punch down and let sit in the fridge until you are ready.
Here you can see the dough is double in volume. I did not need to punch down because the quantity of yeast is quite less so it should not rise to fast.
Divide the dough in 10 equal balls. Here you can see nine because my daughter is playing with one…!
Yup my kids love to help – (did you notice the little finger in the previous pictures.. that's what makes my food more tasty!)
Preheat the oven to 220C/440F for at least 20 minutes.
Roll each ball into a round or oval shape. (any shape will do – really )
My kids use to make triangles and moons too!
To get an tear drop.. Roll into a round circle then with your hand just pull the circle from one side….
Next time I will take a picture – Sorry
Place in the preheated oven on the top shelf closer to the grill for about 4 to 5 minutes.. Until you see it's puffed up and has dark spots.
This is a what I mean by puffed up.. It will balloon like a ball. You should wait for about 30 secs after this just to get a little more color..
At this time you should add any accompaniments you wish such as nigella seeds or melted butter or even crushed garlic in oil or butter…
My kids love it plain..!
See the dark spots.. that's ok.
Here's my daughter eating the fruits of her labor….!
Well, that's my recipe for Naan – I do hope you give it a try.
Until next time, happy cooking.
Thanks for stopping by.

Upper House MPs support ban on gas drilling
Gasfield Free groups across the state are anticipating the announcement by the Andrews Labor government in regards to onshore gas.
During the past year it has been made perfectly clear that communities will only accept a ban on unconventional gas drilling. Will the Premier and his team listen to the communities united stance?
The Premier has been quoted on radio as saying that 'until there is consensus the moratorium will stay'. And although Liberal/Nationals have also stated a moratorium will stay until 2020, communities feel this gives them no certainty.
Have your say on Earth Resources Regulation's Stakeholder Engagement Strategy
The Earth Resources Department of the Victorian government are currently reviewing their 'Stakeholder Engagement Strategy". The strategy outlines how they will improve engagement with us in relation to resources extraction projects, including coal, gas and minerals.
Their draft is now available for public comment, and we think this is a fantastic time to let them know where they have been falling short, and how you need them to improve.
Please check here for details on making a submission.

Logging in our National Parks
National Parks are protected right? They are the last remaining vestiges of land in Australia that are no longer cut down, hunted in or dug up. Think again. As we speak, there are large machines pushing, breaking and cutting down Red Gum trees and trampling vegetation in the Murray Valley National Park (MVNP) in NSW, Australia. It looked bad on paper, and it looks even worse in real life. It is almost unbelievable that we are employing loggers to go back into our National Parks.

Friends of the Earth call for renewable energy ambition from the Victorian govt as ACT lifts target to 100%
Environment group Friends of the Earth have called on the Andrews government to set ambitious Victorian Renewable Energy Targets as the ACT government announces a ramped up target of 100 percent renewable by 2020.
"The ACT has secured its position as a national leader by lifting its Renewable Energy Target to 100 percent," said Leigh Ewbank, Friends of the Earth renewable energy spokesperson.
"Its ambitious policy is creating jobs, attracting investment, and will help the territory tackle climate change."
Andrews govt's second budget sees modest commitments on environment and climate: real work yet to be delivered
The Andrews government has delivered its second budget which focuses strongly on infrastructure, health, education and family violence.
Environment group Friends of the Earth welcome the modest commitments on climate and renewable energy but say budget 2017 must be a budget for the environment.
"There were a series of modest but welcome commitments made on the environment and climate change," said Cam Walker, Friends of the Earth campaigns coordinator.
"The Andrews government can prove its environmental credentials by making it the centrepiece of budget 2017."
Switch your energy retailer and help the planet
Friends of the Earth has partnered with Ethical Switch for an 8 week fundraising campaign to focus on the impact that a household's energy choices can make on the environment. The more we make the move to renewable energy, the more pressure is placed on the unconventional gas industry and the cleaner our country becomes.
Ethical Switch presents a comparison of all electricity providers within an area in terms of carbon emissions, renewable energy investment and customer satisfaction. By choosing one of their high rated providers, customers are directly supporting investment in renewable energy in Australia.

When we have had 2 goal leads Krueger the genuis thinks its a great idea to change up the lines trying to protect a lead it has failed every time, but his stubborness keeps prevailing . Tonight absoulutey nothing happening on offense and Krueger keeps lines the same all game. Stubborn again Yak Gagner Prv line was working he switched it up before game did not work keeps with it , he onnly tinkers with what works pathetic.

Kaiu's Forge was the largest and most sophisticated craftsman's forge in Rokugan. [1] It was located deep within Kaiu Shiro, never unguarded. It dominated that structure's sizeable courtyard. [2]
Kaiu Blades Edit
The blaze in its pit was always alight. Once a year the Kaiu Master Smith forged five swords from the best steel available, the Kaiu Blades. They would never dull or break unless the forge itself was destroyed. The forge was created by Kaiu to forge Chikara when Hiruma, Kuni, and Kaiu had been given the task of slaying Oni no Hatsu Suru. [3]
Kaiu's Legacy Edit
The Kaiu Forge consisted of five separate pieces once wielded by the first Kaiu: hammer, tongs, anvil, fire pit, and bellows. The forge could be used only five times per year, only to craft katana. The hammer was beaten in a peculiar rhythm, knew by the Master Smith and his chosen sucessor. [4] The first Katana ever made there was Chikara. [5]
Dojo Edit
In the 12th century one of the massive forges was set aside for use in training the most promising of students, teaching the Kaiu Engineer and Kaiu Blacksmith schools. [6]
Known Kaiu Master Edit

Out with a Bang
Pistons end preseason on high with Smith's buzzer-beating triple
The story of the game in Pistons red, white and blue
WHITE HOT – Josh Smith's triple at the buzzer gave the Pistons a rousing 99-98 win in the preseason finale over Minnesota. J.J. Barea's driving layup with 3.6 seconds put Minnesota ahead by two. Andre Drummond dominated the backboards with 20 rebounds, eight of them offensive. Smith had 20 points, while Will Bynum and Greg Monroe added 17 apiece for the Pistons. Bynum also had nine assists off the bench for the Pistons, who again played without guards Chauncey Billups, Rodney Stuckey and Brandon Jennings. The Pistons finished preseason at 4-4.
BLUE COLLAR – Jonas Jerebko has had a good week, and coupled with Charlie Villanueva's setback with a back injury that has limited him to three minutes in the past two games, he's taken a decided lead in the bench pecking order. His two triples shortly after entering the game in the first half were big, the second keying a 13-0 Pistons run that saw them take an eight-point lead. Jerebko finished with nine points, hitting all three of his triple tries, and two rebounds in 17 minutes.
RED FLAG – The Pistons missed 5 of 6 free throws in the final 1:03 of regulation with Greg Monroe and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope both missing twice and Josh Smith splitting the pair with 41 seconds left to tie the game at 96. Caldwell-Pope's misses came with 18 seconds left after he was fouled near mid-court after securing a loose ball with the score still tied at 96. The Pistons shot just 19 of 34 from the line for the game.
Start with Andre Drummond, a place at least a few dozen other NBA franchises would love to start.
Pistons fans clamored for Drummond to get more playing time last season, even as he admitted that the pace of the NBA game often left his gasping. He'll get all the minutes he can handle this season, which in Thursday's preseason finale – won on a fortuitous bounce that saw Josh Smith's 3-pointer hit the rim, bounce a few feet above it and then fall at the buzzer in a 99-98 decision over Minnesota – amounted to 38. He made them count, grabbing 20 rebounds to go with 11 points.
Smith and Greg Monroe, who join Drummond in a frontcourt that will have to be their strength until the Pistons get guards Brandon Jennings and Rodney Stuckey back, combined for 37 points and 11 rebounds.
The frontcourt dominance might have been less complete if Timberwolves center Nikola Pekovic had played, but the Pistons kept Minnesota in the game with a series of close-range misses early and errant free throws throughout the game, including five misses in the final minute alone. Drummond, Monroe and Smith all missed a pair of point-blank shots in the early going, or the Pistons could have taken double-digit control of the game before halftime.
"It's kind of frustrating," Smith said. "I missed a couple in and outs, Moose missed a couple in and outs. I'm glad it's preseason. We can get it out of our system. We're a confident team. Whenever the buckets aren't falling, you've got to pick it up a little bit more on the defensive end and I thought we did a good job with that."
"The positive is that we played a lot in the paint," Maurice Cheeks said. "Our three guys down low, we had a lot of shots that could've been made and we didn't. Over the course of the season, if we get those same shots, we'll be more successful. But I liked our big guys in the paint. I liked it a lot. We put the ball down there a lot and tried to utilize those guys."
Along the perimeter, where Chauncey Billups sat one out, the Pistons held their own, as they'll have to do until the reinforcements arrive. Rookies Peyton Siva and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope started, Siva solid with four assists, a steal and two turnovers in 22 minutes and Caldwell-Pope even better. In his best all-around game yet, the lottery pick scored 13 points on 6 of 10 shooting to go with six boards and three steals. He battled crafty veteran shooting guard Kevin Martin and earned his 35 minutes, his knifing quickness creating extra possessions for the Pistons and causing disruption to Minnesota's shooters.
"Kentavious played a nice game," Cheeks said. "He's guarding a veteran in Kevin Martin. His defense had to be up to par in order for him to stay on the court. Offensively, I didn't think he rushed a lot of shots like he had been. Him and Siva this preseason got some valuable minutes and they both have learned a lot. Tonight was another example of Kentavious learning to slow his game down offensively."
"He played in a very good rhythm tonight, took his time, set his feet," Monroe said. "He's slowed down, relaxed, shot the ball really well. Tonight, he played with a very, very good rhythm."
Will Bynum came to camp without a guaranteed role, but the Pistons will lean on him heavily in the early going if Jennings – who is scheduled to have his jaw wired until a week into the regular season – isn't ready to go. He gave the Pistons more encouraging signs that he'll hold the fort with 17 points and nine assists against three turnovers in 26 minutes.
And Kyle Singler and Jonas Jerebko played important roles as well. Singler's spot in the rotation was assured early in camp. Jerebko's might not yet be official, but he took another big step forward by knocking down three first-half 3-pointers and continuing to play smart, aggressive basketball. He and Singler combined for 19 points on just 12 shots.
Those perimeter contributions from many hands added up to enough, as it should on many nights when the big three up front carry the load as assertively as they did this time.
"Tonight was an indication of them being pretty good playing together," Cheeks said. "This was one of the games they got better at playing together, feeding off each other. Josh was in the post a lot, Greg was in the post and then Andre still played around inside the paint and got offensive rebounds because of those two guys."

Tommy the Cork: Washington's Ultimate Insider from Roosevelt to Reagan
Steerforth Press, 2004 - Biography & Autobiography - 368 pages
"The life and adventures of Tommy the Cork, from serving as a clerk to Oliver Wendell Holmes to helping United Fruit find ways to overthrow the government of Guatamala, make for one of the most intriguing Washington books in years. Readers with a taste for the politically picaresque will seize upon it with delight." — Harry McPherson in Wilson Quarterly IN 1931, A YOUNG Rhode Island lawyer with middle-class, Irish Catholic roots came to Washington to clerk for Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. He had earned the highest grades ever attained at Harvard Law School and possessed a force of personality to match his intellect. A brilliant lawyer, wily political operator, and likable rogue, Corcoran would become the most important and valued strategist in FDR's inner circle. After leaving government, Corcoran would virtually establish modern lobbying and influence peddling as we know it. Corcoran was the first "super-lobbyist," the first person to fully appreciate how World War II changed Washington; the first person to fully understand the symbiotic relationship between the executive branch, the Congress, and corporate America. Corcoran knew how to size people up, apply leverage, and call in — to devastating effect — the favors he liberally spread around town. Despite his lasting influence his story is little known today. Drawing on sources ranging from FBI wiretaps to interviews with family members, Tommy the Cork traces Corcoran's career from his early days with Holmes and FDR to his behind-the-scenes orchestration of President Eisenhower's intervention in Guatemala. Corcoran's life is peppered with political luminaries, including Henry Luce, Joseph P. Kennedy, Evita Peron, and Lyndon Johnson. McKean's account also tells the story of Corcoran's twenty-year romantic relationship with the exotic power broker Anna Chan Chennault, a champion of conservative Republican causes. Anyone interested in the history of Washington's inner-workings and tales of political intrigue will find this story irresistible.

Reference: Daniel V. Schroeder, An Introduction to Thermal Physics, (Addison-Wesley, 2000) – Problem 1.50.
We can find how much heat is emitted or absorbed by a chemical reaction by working with the enthalpy of the reactants and products. For example, consider the combustion of methane with oxygen at a constant temperature of :
Using the table at the back of Schroeder's book, for the formation of methane from elemental carbon (solid) and hydrogen (gas) is
for the dissociation of methane into its elements is therefore the negative of this.
The total enthalpy change for the creation of the products in reaction 1 from their elements is
for the reaction as a whole is
We can see this as follows. Suppose the absolute enthalpy of the elemental components (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) is and of the reactants and products and . Then
In 1, if all 4 compounds are gases and the temperature is the same on both sides, there is no volume change, as there are 3 moles of gas both before and after the reaction. Therefore the entire enthalpy change is due to change in internal energy and, assuming no 'other' work is done, all this energy is emitted as heat. That is, for one mole of methane
If the water is produced as liquid instead of vapour, then (from the table in Schroeder), and
This time, the final volume is of the initial volume, since the 2 moles of water has condensed out as liquid with negligible volume compared to the gases. Thus the atmosphere does work
The change in internal energy is therefore found from
The difference between this value and 6 should be the latent heat of vaporization at 298 K. An approximation for this is
where is the temperature in centigrade, so here. This gives a value of so for 2 moles (around 36 g) of water, we have . The difference from the calculations here is only about 83 kJ, but I'm not sure how accurate the various values and formulas are. At least it's close.
As a final example, suppose the Sun with a mass of around and luminosity of used the combustion of methane and oxygen as its energy source. The molar weights of methane and molecular oxygen around 16 g and 32 g so if the Sun were composed of one part methane to two parts oxygen (by molecular number), then the mass ratio is around methane:oxygen = 1 : 4. The number of moles of methane in the Sun is therefore
Assuming the water is produced as vapour, the Sun could produce a total energy of
so it would burn out after a time interval of
We can be pretty sure the Sun's source of power isn't chemical reactions!

Hunger Games Motion Poster Revealed
July 20, 2011 by Post Team
Hunger Games Motion Poster Revealed, If you have not heard of "The Hunger Games", then probably real soon. The promotional poster for the film was released Tuesday as a sign of movement only, with flames coming out of pin mockingbird. The popular book, to be made into film fans of the novels next year, takes readers to a new country called Panem North America after reaching the ruins. Twelve districts and the Capitol a form every year and two representatives from each of the twelve districts are selected to be in the Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live television.
The story goes that a girl who lives in Panem, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) volunteers herself as the Hunger Games, so that her little sister, Prim (Shields Willow) do not have to go, though was the one who was chosen by the lottery system of tyrannical rule.
The poster has an intense burning mockingjay pin on the sign that symbolizes rebellion against the government, according to E! Online. At the top, quote, "May the odds always in their favor" is the phrase symbol of the Hunger Games in history. The direction of the film is Gary Ross, who is also writing the screenplay for the film, which is based on the novels by Suzanne Collins.

Last time, over 11,000 of you nominated or voted for the expat-run shops, restaurants, pubs, sports, social or business clubs you felt were at the heart of British communities abroad. This year, we're asking you to share your expert knowledge of your adopted countries once more, with two new categories — charities and accommodation — added at your request.
After nine weeks, a team of Telegraph judges will review the nominations, and choose what they think are the best within each country. These country winners will then proceed to an international showdown, which could see the British drinking establishment you run, or your local British sweet shop, named the best British outpost in the world.
But helping us to recognise the best that Britain has to give to her expatriates worldwide isn't the sole reason to get involved in this year's competition. Every person who participates be entered into a free prize draw to win one of five iPad 2s, while too celebrate every vote cast or nomination that will be made, The Telegraph has set up and will contribute to a special donation fund in aid of Help for Heroes – and we encourage all our readers and expatriates worldwide to join us in supporting this worthwhile cause.
With our initial donation and the involvement and donations of our readers, we are looking to support Help for Heroes to raise money for the wounded, with a particular focus on Personnel Recovery Centres. Head over to www.bmycharity.com/telegraphbestofbritish to find out more and importantly, how you can join us in helping these centres to continue their important work.
In addition, any enterprise which wants to go that extra mile to help the charity can apply to be one of 10 who will win £500 to help organise a fundraising event of their choice.
To participate in the competition, simply go to www.telegraph.co.uk/bestofbritish and follow the instructions on how to nominate or vote for an establishment. You will be able to submit comments, and even upload pictures and videos to support your case.
So, whether you're rooting for a fish and chip shop in Australia or a social club in Bahrain, help us to recognise and reward the very best that Britain has to offer around the globe.
Voting is open until November 15. Full terms and conditions can be found here.
Best of British is sponsored by John Lewis, voted "Britain's favourite retailer 2011", and now offering delivery to over 30 countries, including Australia and the USA

I'm also very friendly and make friends very easily. I'm not shy to talk to strangers on the streets. I hold open doors for people and I always display gratitude towards people providing service, bus drivers for example. I love to read and keep abreast with current issues in the world. I also like to keep active and go to gym 4 - 5 times a week. I've recently lost 65 pounds and have made a lots of positive changes in my life. I also LOVE to play Squash (any season) and Tennis (during summer). I have been playing both sports for a while. If you're interested in playing, let me know.
1. I was once chased by a gang of monkeys who wanted to steal my food. I escaped though. Yes, I'm a trained in escaping from monkeys. In fact, I should start consulting on this subject matter.
2. When I worked at the call centre (you know, started from the bottom, now we here), a girl from PEI was so impressed with my customer service that she asked me to note down her address and phone number and visit her whenever I was in PEI next. She even took my email address and emailed me her info.
3. I sold Toronto Star door to door in high school and, for some reason, ventured out to sell the newspaper near the Jane-Finch area. I didn't sell a single subscription and was chased by a crazy man with a knife in his hands.
4. I spent two summers working at Wonderland in high school. For a couple of weeks, I was transferred to a restaurant that made funnel cakes (mmmm...funnel cakes!!!). During training, I made the best funnel cakes out of my group. However, during rush hour, guests would always peek inside to see how I made them. This used to put me in panic mode and screwing up my funnel cake making skills. Needless to say, I was put on dishwashing duties for the rest of my time there -__-
5. During a job interview for a coop job at a really shady company located at a really shady location, I was asked by both of the interviewers to help them chase and neutralize a cockroach that ventured on to the table. As I sat there scratching my head, they threw a stapler on the cockroach, killing it. Needless to say, I didn't get the job...something I was glad about.
I also volunteer a lot in my free time. Some places I have volunteered at include TIFF, Hot Docs, CIBC Run For The Cure, Daily Bread Food Bank, WWF Canada.
Finally, I've come to the realization that I'd be really happy practicing law. It's a total change from my current career direction, but it's something I have a passion for. Therefore, I plan to write my LSAT this year and apply to law schools. Lost of studying to do. That's definitely what I'm spending a lot of my free time on for now.
Here, try this sample question from an actual past LSAT:
The supernova event of 1987 is interesting in that there is still no evidence of the neutron star that current theory says should have remained after a supernova of that size. This is in spite of the fact that many of the most sensitive instruments ever developed have searched for the tell-tale pulse of radiation that neutron stars emit. Thus, current theory is wrong in claiming that supernovas of a certain size always produce neutron stars.
Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
A) Most supernova remnants that astronomers have detected have a neutron star nearby.
B) Sensitive astronomical instruments have detected neutron stars much farther away than the location of the 1987 supernova.
C) The supernova of 1987 was the first that scientists were able to observe in progress.
D) Several important features of the 1987 supernova are correctly predicted by the current theory.
E) Some neutron stars are known to have come into existence by a cause other than a supernova explosion.
- History lessons (Especially when it has to do Napoleon. That man is my role model)
- Draining my cell phone's battery (My poor iPhone 5 is like 98 years old, atleast in technological years)
- Socializing (I can make friends with a brick wall, just not best friends. That spot has been taken by the pole near my house).
- Racket Sports (Squash and Tennis. I really am the Michael Phelps of Squash. I think)
- Remembering names/faces (If you come to my profile or if I visit your profile, I will remember your face. Later, if we ever meet on the streets, don't be surprised if I say hello :P)
I really don't know what people first notice about me. I wish one could ask such a question during an interview. "So, do you have any questions for me?"..."Yes, what did you first notice about me?" -__-
Shows: I don't really watch TV these days but these shows are evergreen for me: King of Queen, Boy Meets World, The Office, Walking Dead.
Food: I am a vegetarian. Pizza remains my ultimate favourite dish. However, I would love to try anything once, as long as it's vegetarian.
2. Food (to start a food fight)
3. Air (Helium - To fly away in a house lifted by balloons like in the movie "Up")
4. YouTube (to watch and laugh at viral videos of others' misfortune)
5. Google News (So I can read about Putin's/Kim Jong Un's latest shenanigans)
6. Wikipedia (So I can read about random things and look smart at gatherings and parties)
- Why can't every post on my facebook feed be as inspirational/thought provoking as the HONY (Humans of New York) posts. Also, why are the top comments on HONY posts always so amazing??
- Is Batman actually a superhero, even though he has no super powers?
- If a kid refuses to sleep during nap time, are they guilty of resisting a rest?
Or, watching a good movie/spending time with friends or family. In any case, making someone laugh with one of the stories from my cache of hilarious true stories. If you want to know one, message me. I promise I won't disappoint.
As a matter of fact, when I first saw "The Ring", I had to keep the lights of my room on for a week. I also had to sleep with a tennis racket next to my bed to beat the same ghost if she tried to attack me.

My family of four (two kids) recently stayed at this hotel. It was nice. The lobby was clean and spacious. It had free wi-fi which helped with my kids using their devices. The hotel offers a free breakfast. I thought it was fine. My kids didn't think much of it, so they just had cereal everyday. The breakfast included pancakes, bacon, eggs and some fresh fruit. We stayed in a room with two queens. The beds were fine, but we could hear traffic all night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We walked to Disney and it was fine each morning. It took about 15 minutes each way. It might be a little far for kids under 6 after a full day at the park, but older kids had no problems. The room included a flatscreen tv with plenty of channels. The biggest negative in our mind was the pressure of the shower. It was very poor. Still it's a nice hotel one could consider in the Disney area for a decent price. There was a strip mall next door to the hotel which included a Subway.

Brumbley, S.M. and Petrasovits, L.A. and Hermann, S.R. and Young, A.J. and Croft, B.J. (2006) Recent advances in the molecular biology of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli, causal organism of ratoon stunting disease. Australasian Plant Pathology, 35 (6). pp. 681-689.
Article Link(s): http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/AP06074
Publisher URL: http://www.publish.csiro.au/home.htm
Twelve years ago our understanding of ratoon stunting disease (RSD) was confined almost exclusively to diagnosis of the disease and control via farm hygiene, with little understanding of the biology of the interaction between the causal agent (Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli) and the host plant sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids). Since then, research has focused on developing the molecular tools to dissect L. xyli subsp. xyli, so that better control strategies can be developed to prevent losses from RSD. Within this review, we give a brief overview of the progression in research on L. xyli subsp. xyli and highlight future challenges. After a brief historical background on RSD, we discuss the development of molecular tools such as transformation and transposon mutagenesis and discuss the apparent lack of genetic diversity within the L. xyli subsp. xyli world population. We go on to discuss the sequencing of the genome of L. xyli subsp. xyli, describe the key findings and suggest some future research based on known deficiencies that will capitalise on this tremendous knowledge base to which we now have access.

Who has the fastest team in town? The city's top running squads race for bragging rights in this teams-only five-miler.
This race is open only to members of established, NYRR-recognized teams (see requirements for entry below). Men and women race in separate events. See NYRR Team Championships: Women (5M) for details on the women's race.
Please remember to keep the park clean for park users! Please do not staple, tape, or stake any flyers to Central Park trees or benches, and do not erect any tents or string any tarps. If you choose to meet up with your team after finishing the race, please maintain a clean area and throw all trash into the provided garbage bins.
Event hashtag: #NYRRTeamChamps—use it in your public tweets, Instagrams, and Facebook posts!
Live unofficial results are available during the race at liveresults.nyrr.org and in the NYRR app. Features include leaderboards, map tracking, and an individual runner search that can be shared on Facebook and Twitter. Tell your friends and family to follow your progress, and get unofficial results right after the race!
This is a men's club points race worth double points.
Only members of established and NYRR-recognized running teams may enter this race and receive credit for it. However, you do not need to be a NYRR member to enter. In addition, entrants must have completed at least one NYRR scored/qualifying race between August 31, 2016, and August 4, 2017, for the team for which they will be scoring. Furthermore, they may not have competed for that team until at least 90 days after having competed for another team.
If a participating team has not fielded a full team in their division (men's and women's open, 40+, 50+, 60+, 70+) at a prior NYRR team-points race since January 1, 2016, the team may not score in that division at the NYRR Team Championships.
All team categories for the NYRR Team Championships are scored by time. Team categories are as follows:
Mile 1: Start on the 102nd Street Cross Drive heading west, make a left onto West Drive, and run a series of three rolling hills with the Reservoir on your left.
Mile 2: Continue south on West Drive, which is mostly flat and downhill here. The two-mile mark is just before West 67th Street, near the finish line of the TCS New York City Marathon.
Mile 3: Continue around the southern end of the park and then north on East Drive, passing the three-mile mark just before the 72nd Street Transverse.
Mile 4: Pass the 72nd Street Transverse and the Boathouse on your left, then climb Cat Hill (74th Street to 78th Street) to the four-mile mark behind the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Mile 5: Continue north on East Drive and pass the Fred Lebow statue at Engineers' Gate. Make a final left turn onto the 102nd Street Cross Drive and continue to the finish.

Azaz'zel was once a demon who served under Belial, the Lord of Lies, but was also a spy for Dul'Mephistos. He was responsible for torturing Izual the angel that was captured after a failed assault on Demonforge and helped to turn him into a fallen angel. Azaz'zel was apart of many battles and sieges throughout the Eternal Conflict and was one of the oldest living demons in all of hell after the Great Evils themselves. He was supposedly in agreement with the Three Prime Evils in attempting to manipulate the Nephalem (humans) into siding with hell in the eternal conflict. Azaz'zel was finally slain by Belial during the Dark Exile as the Lord of Lies discovered where his true loyalties lay as he knew that if he did not, then he would have been slain by the spy and the Dark Exile would never have succeeded without the manipulative Belial at its head.
Trivia Edit
In Islam, Azazel is known as the King of Devils, the enemy of Mankind and an ally of Satan himself.
He also is the archenemy to the Archangel Berathiel who is supposedly the lord of the Seraphim.

In addition to doing a lot of looking back at the past year and decade, several USA TODAY reporters looked ahead to what life will be like in the coming decade. The story is here. In that spirit, here is our take on what is ahead in video games.
As video games continue to evolve towards 2020, they will become less and less an activity associated with couch potatoes. That evolution will make playing games a more natural experience. At the same time, games will become more a part of the natural world.
Motion-controlled games. Body movement controlling of video games, pioneered by the Nintendo Wii in November 2006, will be an integral part of games a decade from now. Players will not only be able to spring their on-screen avatar into action by moving their hands, arms and legs, but they will communicate emotions to in-game characters and other players via built-in facial recognition tools.
With the intimidating, multi-buttoned video game controller a thing of the past, games will be approachable for more players. "A lot of people didn't understand the controller," says Jesper Juul, author of The Casual Revolution: Reinventing Video Games and Their Players. Motion-controlled games surfaced as a way "for the industry to focus on extending the audience to a more casual audience," he says.
Not all movement will make sense. Jogging in place for a long time might not please neighbors a floor below, so voice-activiated features will allow players to tell their character to simply "run forward."
Smarter games. Always on, games will automatically recognize regular players and customize the presentation for favorite games and updates on friends. In some cases, the incorporation of 3D into games will make the addition of special virtual gloves and other garb necessary to translate players' fine motor actions in three-dimensional space. "You've always seen people wearing a data glove and when they are in an environment wherever they look everything changes. We will come close to that" for home game systems, says Richard Doherty, founder of The Envisioneering Group.
On-demand games. The set-top box console video game systems will become a thing of the past -- perhaps built into the display or a home's automation system -- with game companies distributing, monitoring and upgrading games on-demand via cloud computing technologies. "The cloud will make gaming possible 24-7," Doherty says.
Players will find partners for multiplayer and cooperative games on a variety of networks including the equivalent of Twitter and Facebook, as well as game publishers' official systems. "If somebody in Signapore wants to play cards at 2 a.m.," he says, "or someone wants to do World of Warcraft around the clock, you'll find communities."
Augmented reality. Video games started at home may be continued anywhere -- on the subway, in the park and at the office -- via a phone or other type of handheld device. And the real world will increasingly be part of the game via augmented reality -- the meshing of the virtual world with the actual world. "Even a senior could be on a tour trip and could discover things by pointing their viewer or their cell phone or whatever they are comfortable with at different things and, if you like, their competition," Doherty says.
As out-of-home games become commonplace expect advertisers and retailers to create treasure hunts and other missions to entice shoppers to come to the mall or a brick-and-mortar store.
Games for health. As non-video game players become a minority, health care providers and insurers will begin to reward players who play games that exercise the body and brain with lower premiums. In the case of older Americans, "the ones who do Wii are fitter and move around more. So concerned family members to insurers are starting to say, 'How can I get Grandma and Granddad and my great aunt more involved in this?'" Doherty says. "Health insurance and wellness are going to start to creep into video games."
Despite all the changes, the hard-core gamer will abide. "Young people under the age of 30 who used to buy a Corvette or put a down payment on a home, instead will have a $16,000 gaming system that is liquid-cooled and has a small nuclear reactor under the desk," Doherty says. "And that gaming market segment will probably still remain at 3% to 5%. They may be doing interplanetary gaming with folks on a space station and giving the Department of Defense nightmares."
Readers, what do you expect in the future for video games? What are you looking forward to? What will you miss?

A meta–QTL analysis of disease resistance traits of Theobroma cacao L.
- First Online:
- Received:
- Accepted:
- Citations
- 532 Downloads
Theobroma cacao, is a tropical understorey tree that is a major economic resource to several tropical countries. However, the crop is under increased threat from several diseases that are responsible for 30% loss of harvest globally. Although QTL data related to the genetic determinism of disease resistance exist in cocoa, QTL mapping experiments are heterogeneous, thus making comparative QTL mapping essential for marker assisted selection (MAS). Sixteen QTL experiments were analysed, and the 76 QTLs detected were projected on a progressively established consensus map. Several hot spots, with QTLs related to different Phytophthora species and other diseases, were observed. The likely number of "real" QTLs was estimated by using a meta-analysis implemented in BioMercator software. There was a twofold reduction in average confidence interval observed when compared to the confidence interval of individual QTLs. This alternative approach confirms the existence of several sources of resistance to different diseases of cocoa which could be cumulated in new varieties to increase the sustainability of cocoa resistance using MAS strategies.

SUBMITTED: Wednesday, September 02, 2009POSTED: Wednesday, September 02, 2009
Let me start by saying that I worked for Correctional Billing Services. I was one of the top agents on the floor. I loved working for this company. Now, with that said. I do understand why some of you are so upset with this company.
As agents, we couldn't control the prices of a call. Those were not set by our company alone. They were set by the facility your loved one is in, the phone company and our company. All 3 sit down together and agree on a price for a call. For the most part, the facility your loved one is at set these prices. Next, Correctionall Billing Service, T Netix,Evercom,Embarc, Securus, al;l the same.
The best way to set up an acct with this company is a prer paid acct. I would use a money order with western union, it takes 24 hrs to get there, so you don't have to us a credit card and there are no processing fees from the company only from Western Union.If you run out of money on the acct, then yes the phone will be blocked for 24 hours, we remove the block while you are on the phone with us, but it has to go through the phone company and then to the facility.
Also, not all phone companies allow these kinds of calls. It is mostly cell phone companies. Also, before you set up an account, make sure, even if you have to call 2 or 3 times, that the phone company you have is supported by Correctional Billing Services, IE, Vonage can not be used as a phone provider.
Also, sometimes the Facility blocks the phones and there is nothing that our company can do about it. And what really sucks is that when you call the facility, they tell you to call us back. We know that you guys suffer and believe it or not, when I was still there, I took notes daily of any issues and took them as far up the chain as I could to get them fixed.
There are a lot of different policies with this company and we have to learn them all and then sometimes we would come into work and one of the policies would be changed, so not only did we not have the knowledge of the change until we came to work, but our customers had no knowledge and not everyone calls once a week. We would fight for the rights of our customers, to have that information before the changes are made.
Aslo if you are billed for Federal Universal Service Fund or Federal regulatory recovery fee, those are as listed, Federal fees. This company doesn't charge those. Just like when your phone company charges you to us 911, even if you never have. All Correctional Billing Services does is, set up accounts and clear the lines so you can recieve your calls.
The agent on the other end of the line that you are yelling at is trying to help you. Some of us have even lost our jobs for trying to help a little to much. It is a good company, but the place that loved one is located at, they are the crooked ones. They take our tax money, over charge for phone calls, charge to much for bail, the list goes on.
Also if you say certian words during your conversation, the facility will block the phone, they listen to all your calls. We don't. I hope that this has helped and I am setting up an email so any of you can contact me that way if you have any more questions about this company at CBSAGENT @ ymail . com, it's in the yahoo network . Again I no longer work for this company, I had to leave them in March of 09. Best wishes to all.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
