Torso, arms, waist & gun (modified): Baroness v4
Legs & Tac Vest: Gung-Ho v16
Belt: Overkill v2
Pouch on left leg: Crosshair
Expanding his Femme Fatales project, Dr. Mindbender obtained DNA of Jinx, from the ninjas Slice and Dice. The result was this camo patterned killer.
A.W.O.L. has the ability to secrete a pheromone that causes the brain to just not care any more. She is able to control the strength and range of her power as well. She can give off just enough for you to decide to wander off, or enough for your body to decide to stop breathing. Hence her name, A.W.O.L..
In a remote location she has snuck close to enemy forward recon post and gave them just a mild dose. They all decided that it was just silly to be there anymore and walked away from their duties.
Although classified information, here are two security cam pictures from the time she tried to infiltrate NORAD. Several guards were killed during this attempt. In fact it appears that one guard was so out of it, he tried to stop another from shooting her. Luckily the air filtration system removed her pheromone before she could get to anywhere important.
"Her power makes her brazen! Look at her pose on the security cam!"---Gen. Hawk
"Aw, come on sweetie, you don't want to be here anymore, now do you?"---A.W.O.L. (picked up by security monitors in NORAD)

Washington: A bomb threat was
reported at the Indian Embassy here on Tuesday morning after which
the premises had to be temporarily evacuated.
A thorough search of the Embassy premises was
immediately conducted after the threat was reported.
"Nothing was found," sources in the Embassy said.
The bomb threat call on telephone at the Embassy is said
to have been received sometime before 10-30 am.
According to sources, the caller claimed that a bomb has
been placed in the toilet of the Embassy.
As a precautionary measure, the embassy premises was
promptly evacuated and local police authorities were informed,
who arrived at the scene immediately.
About 130-140 people were inside the Embassy at the time
when it received the bomb threat call.
US media reports said the US Secret Service was notified
at about 11 am.
The reports said the roads in the periphery of the
Embassy premises were temporarily closed as authorities
conducted precautionary checks and sweeps in the area.
A few months ago, the security at the Embassy was beefed
up and metal detectors were installed for screening of every
visitor to its premises.

Changes to the interest and penalties regime
IRD have announced that from 1 April 2017 they will be changing the hated interest and penalties. For provisional tax payers using the standard uplift method (based on prior year) there will be no interest charged on the first two instalments. I.e. they won't take the interest calculation back to the first payment retrospectively.
For late payments on new returns filed there will still be the initial 1% penalty the day after for late payments and 4% after 7 days but the 1% monthly incremental penalties will go. UOMI will still apply.
Proposed Provisional Tax payment Changes
You may have heard through the media that the IRD are doing away with Provisional tax. As with a lot of their recent releases, this is only partially true. But (hopefully) from 1 April 2018 your business could qualify to pay tax using the AiM Accounting Income Method.

Nutcracker Rouge
Created by Austin McCormick
Produced by Company XIV
Minetta Lane Theater
New York, New York
December 2013
Direction and Choreography: Austin McCormick
Scenic: Zane Pihlstrom
Costume: Zane Pihlstrom
Lighting: Jeanette Yew
Production Photography: Phillip Van Nostrand
"Zane Pihlstrom's sets and costumes (from powdered-wig heads to spike heels and platform toes) combine the opulence of the French Baroque era with contemporary minimalist touches that heighten the piece's intimate feel... the production is gorgeous to look at and is a delight for any of the senses that may require extra stimulation this holiday season". -Broadway World
"If you prefer pasties to pointe shoes- The iconic ballet is staged with a sexy twist by baroque dance troupe Company XIV. Precise dancing en pointe is replaced with erotic burlesque moves...It's definitely as far a cry from Balanchine's vision of the piece as you can get-and we mean that in a good way." -TIME OUT NY
"The production is unconditionally beautiful... a fully realized little holiday bon-bon." NY Theatre.com

Whether this history is fact or fiction, you still need to know the proper way to eat a doughnut. Call of the Doughnuts shares all the tips you'll ever need for doughnut dining, like the favorite liquids for washing down your doughnut. Coffee, milk, and Mountain Dew are the three most popular doughnut chasers with coffee and milk also offering the option of dunking.

"I, even I, have spoken: yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous. Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me. Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go" (Isaiah 48:15-17).
Think back to that moment when it really dawned on you that God loves you just as you are-saved forever, every sin paid for, seated above, and quickened by grace. What a thrill it was to finally hear someone say, "God loves you; He wants to live inside of you." You did not doubt-you were sure of it. You believed it, and just like that you were going to heaven.
But right now, while we are still on earth, God wants to make our way prosperous. "…Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee" (Hebrews 6:14). He will teach us to profit and show us the way we should go.

text: While many indie games suffer from the same problems as their AAA peers, getting mired down in retreaded subject material and clichéd mechanics, the most interesting titles recognize their freedom and show no fear in taking advantage of it. The qualifier of "indie" should indicate that you're in for a unique and inventive experience. So here's Hardcore Droid's list of the games most representative of that so far in 2013.

Who is The Panel Station?
Just like other paid survey websites, the Panel Station provides incentives to its members to participate and complete surveys about various topics, products and services. The website is a market research website rather than a marketing website. Its main purpose is not to persuade consumers to sell products but to gather data from the consumers. It samples the various demographics of the population by collecting, organizing and analyzing the opinions of the consumers.
The website serve as a go-between that bridges the information gap between the companies that hired its services and the target market of the companies. The decisions of the companies that sponsor the surveys in terms of product development and marketing strategies are directly influenced by the opinions of the respondents. Conducting a market research minimizes the risks of losing large sums of money on products that are unlikely to be patronized by the consumers. The market research data ensures that the products that will be developed and marketed have high chance of being accepted by the target consumers. Existing products, on the other hand, can be further improved or retailored to the tastes of the consumers.
In exchange of their opinions, the respondents earn points that they can later redeem as rewards in the form of cash, gift vouchers and other rewards. Aside from the surveys, there are other opportunities that the website members can grab in order to earn more points. There are also regular draws in which active members have the chance of winning large cash and other prizes.
Panel Station has a wide global reach. It is a diverse online community with more than 1.4 million members from the following countries: India, Brazil, Russia, China, Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Indonesia, Turkey, Philippines, Poland, South Korea, Taiwan, Chile, Nigeria, New Zealand, Colombia, Australia, Singapore and Thailand.
The members of the website are prescreened based on their profile information. Survey invitations are tailored depending on the demographics. The members receive survey invitations on a wide range of topics such as consumer goods, technology, healthcare products and finance. The opinions that they provide help global brands to improve their products and also help startup companies to develop innovative products.
If you become a registered member, you automatically earn points just by signing up. Every survey that you are able to complete earn you points that vary depending on the length of the survey. Once you have accrued the minimum required points, you can then start redeeming your rewards.
How does The Panel Station work?
In order to participate in the surveys and start earning rewards, you first need to sign up and create your online account in the website but this is only by invitation only. You will need to provide some pieces of information such as gender, educational background, income range, profession, etc. These pieces of information are necessary so that the website could classify you under certain demographic categories. These categories serve as basis as to what type of survey invitations you are going to receive. For instance, there are surveys that are gender-specific such as in the case of feminine wash products.
Membership in the Panel Station website is exclusive and by invitation only. This makes membership a privilege. All members are strictly verified and the responses are thoroughly and constantly verified. Honest responses are crucial for the validity of the data collected through the surveys.
Once your membership is approved, you will start receiving invitations to participate in the surveys. There may be several survey opportunities that will be sent to you at a time. You may opt to answer all the surveys, select only a few that interest you or ignore them. However, if you want to maximize your earnings, you should always answer all the survey opportunities given to you.
You can redeem your points in the form of gift vouchers, coupons and products, depending on your preferences. The more surveys you complete, the more chance of earning rewards you have. You need to earn at least 3,000 points in order to qualify for reward redemption.
How do I redeem The Panel Station rewards?
As a member, you can earn as many points as possible. Your points will largely depend on the number and length of the surveys that you complete. Even if you are screened out after answering several questions, you are still guaranteed some points. You can earn 200 to 1,000 points per completed survey depending on the complexity and length of the survey. You have to accumulate at least 3,000 points in order to start redeeming your rewards. You can choose gift vouchers, coupons or tangible products as rewards.
You have a various convenient options to redeem your rewards. You may redeem from the partner e-commerce websites or you may directly utilize the rewards by recharging your phone or DTH service. On the other hand, if you are altruistic, you may choose to donate your points to one of the charitable institutions that are supported by the website such as the Child Relief & You.

Just a quick post to get a recent set of presentation slides up here on the blog.
Earlier this week a colleague in the Science and Technologies Studies program here at York hosted me in her fourth year undergraduate seminar class. Rather than my accustomed and normal role of librarian (I happen to be the STS liaison librarian at the moment), I was invited to appear as seminar subject. In other words, she wanted me to talk about my long history of science policy advocacy and activism and a little about how I feel about the current Canadian government.
Which I sort of did, I guess. I also ended up talking about how I view activism in an academic research context, which of course, lead me to talk a little about the implications of altmetrics in a "publish or perish" academic environment.
Of course, there's a surprise ending, but I'll leave that to you to discover in the slides. By the way, it might seem that there are a lot of slides, but most of them are really quite brief.

Nursery rhymes are so weird, when you really think about them. I mean, did you ever stop to wonder why we automatically sing to little kids about Jack falling down and breaking his crown or some little lamb with stalking tendencies (everywhere that Mary went, creepy!)? Then there are the tongue-twisters, like Peter Piper. How exactly did he pick a peck of pickled peppers? Would the peppers get pickled after they were picked? It's not like they grow already pickled, after all. And then where did Peter leave the peppers? So careless.
Anyway, all that really matters is how cute 2-year-old Ada sounds trying to tell Peter's peppery tale to her dad.
Does Ada know what she's talking about? Does her dad? Who cares? I could listen to her talk about those misplaced pickles all the livelong day. Just watch:
Awwww. And how sweet are her little hand gestures?! I can't wait to see Ada take on "She Sells Seashells."
Has your toddler ever tried a tongue-twister?

The Hope Fund has managed to collect more than RM7 million in less than 24 hours after its launch, revealed Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng. "This is truly a remarkable feat," said Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng in a media release announcing the tally of donations so far. He reaffirmed the government's commitment to "being transparent with every sen received", adding that the amount collected will be updated daily on the finance ministry's website and on its social media platforms.
"Therefore, the amount collected will be updated daily on the Ministry of Finance's website and its social media platforms. For tax deduction purposes, Malaysians who donated to this fund are also advised to keep their receipt of the transaction as stated under Subsection 44 (6) of the Income Tax Act 1967," he told a press conference in Putrajaya this afternoon. Finance Minister Mr Lim also said the finance ministry is "humbled by the magnanimity of Malaysians", highlighting the efforts of young activist and law graduate Shazarina Bakti, who initiated a similar crowdfunding initiative online towards settling the country's debt, a week before the "Hope Fund" was launched. Her effort has managed to raise RM13,476.57 thus far. That provided the inspiration for the government to set up its Hope Fund a week later.
"Malaysians have taken their patriotism to a greater height by willing to part with their allowances and spare cash to help rebuild this nation we all love. Malaysians, especially the likes of Shazarina, have continued to take their role in nation building seriously, and have not shown any signs of slowing down after the May 9 victory at the ballot boxes. It is precisely this spirit of hope and unity which will also fuel the Pakatan Harapan government in moving forward to fulfill all of its manifesto pledges for the people," he added.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced the setting up of the "Hope Fund" after his administration accused the previous government of raking up a national debt and liabilities of RM1 trillion.

For a few years now I've found myself increasingly using a headset while playing radio, sometimes to mask any background noises such as the television when my girlfriend is watching it or to help hear those weaker stations, especially those when in a contest.
There are a number of brands aimed at the amateur radio market which come usually at a high price but a brand that I've been using can be bought quite cheaply online. I recently bought a replacement set of headphones made by a company called 'Natec'. The original set were called 'Natec Grizzly', a comfortable headset which are still working well and will be the backup headset to the new set called 'Natec Toucan'. This new headset is very comfortable and judging by the reports I receive they are equally as good as the previous set.
I'm sure there are many brands out there that like the Natec brand are aimed at the Skype user or PC gamer and are much cheaper than equivalent sets aimed at the amateur radio user but for the price I paid, approximately €15, they represent excellent value for money.

Pan-European MSP Claranet has boosted sales by 30% in its full year, aided by both acquisitions and organic growth. Turnover hit £216.5m for the year ended 30 June 2017, while adjusted EBITDA grew by 32% to £38.7m.
The group's international expansion was led by a series of strategic acquisitions, including that of Brazilian public cloud services provider CredibiliT in December 2016, which represented Claranet's entrance into the South American market. This was complemented by the opening of Claranet Italy in February 2017, capitalising on growing demand for managed public cloud services in the Italian market.
Claranet also consolidated its presence in its established regions, through the acquisition of high-availability application management expert Ardenta and security solutions provider Sec-1 in the UK, French DevOps and cloud specialist Oxalide, Portuguese IT services business ITEN Solutions and IT provider Rely in the Netherlands.
Charles Nasser, founder and CEO of Claranet, said: "As we continue to expand our portfolio of services, we are also attracting larger customers with a broader range of services. This strategy has enabled us to make significant inroads with upcoming technologies and related services in the areas of public cloud, DevOps, security and big data.
Claranet's growth this year has been boosted by refinancing, which has provided the company with long-term funding and an incremental acquisition facility of £80m. In addition, Tikehau Capital has acquired a minority shareholding in the group.

2013 Lexus GS 450hPosted on July 23rd, 2012
Hybrid sport sedan for driving enthusiasts
By Nina RussinAlthough luxury sedans account for less than 15 percent of passenger car sales in the United States, the segment is tough to dominate. Audi, BMW, Acura, Infiniti and Lexus are brands for whom second place is not an option. When they do battle, they don't take prisoners.
To stand apart in this very elite crowd requires more than clever marketing. Enter the Lexus GS 450h: a gasoline/electric sport sedan which combines performance with above-average fuel economy. The 2013 model which rolled out last fall is the second hybrid GS. Lexus introduced the original model in 2007, as part of the car's third-generation model line-up.
EPA average fuel economy is 31 miles-per-gallon, but I came closer to 40 mpg on my 100-mile test drive. For the record, I drove most of the route in sport mode and pushed the car hard. The exhaust note during wide open throttle was exhilarating.
Three model strategyThe fourth-generation GS comes in three variants: base model, F Sport and hybrid. The gasoline-powered version is available as either rear or all-wheel drive. Power for the hybrid model comes from an Atkinson-cycle 3.5-liter V-6 engine and two electric motors, mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission.
Base price is $58,950, excluding the $875 destination charge. A luxury option package on the test car adds 18-inch alloy rims, LED adaptive headlamps, heated rear seats, semi-aniline leather seats with bamboo trim, 18-way power front seats and three-position driver's seat memory ($5645). Other convenience features include blind spot monitoring ($500); Mark Levinson audio system ($1380); hard drive navigation with Lexus Enform, satellite radio, app suite, XM weather, traffic, sports/stocks ($1735); intuitive park assist ($500;) and a trunk mat with cargo net and wheel locks ($242). MSRP is $69,827.
Evolved hybrid synergy drive systemWhen Toyota engineered the first Prius over two decades back, it developed all of the technology internally. As a result, engineers have been able to update and reconfigure the system faster and more effectively than competitors. The hybrid system on the newest Lexus GS is an evolution of that technology.
Unlike the Prius which focuses solely on fuel economy, electric motors in the GS enhance overall performance: acceleration in particular. Zero-to-sixty for the 2013 model is 5.6 seconds.
Engineers refined the GS hybrid's handling dynamics, making it feel less nose-heavy than the outgoing model. Front-to-rear weight balance is 51/49. The electric power steering system is a vast improvement over early Lexus hybrids, with much better on-center response. A 34.8-foot turning circle makes it easy to perform U-turns on city streets.
The four-wheel independent suspension consists of a double wishbone setup in front and multi-link with coil springs in the rear. Gas-charged shocks and stabilizer bars on both axles enhance high-speed handling. The driver can adjust shock damping according to his needs. In sport mode, the chassis prances through sharp dips like a champ.
I drove the car in fully-automatic mode for most of the test drive, but shifted to manual gear selection on a fifteen-mile stretch of rural road. Formula-style paddle shifters on the steering wheel make it easy to do so. But what happens in manual mode is different than for a conventional, gas-powered engine and transmission.
The car's on-board computers simulate gear changes by altering engine speed and electric motor assist according to driving conditions. For example, when the driver downshifts to slow the engine down on a steep hill, the on-board computer applies the brakes and the vehicle goes into "recharge" mode.
On the other hand, if the driver downshifts to enhance power on a steep uphill grade, the vehicle goes into "power mode," raising RPMs for the gasoline engine and adding electric motor assist.
Front and rear ventilated disc brakes stop the sedan on a dime. I had to decelerate quickly at an area of road construction and didn't even chirp the tires.
Head-turning exteriorLexus has launched a design initiative to remake the brand's image, moving away from the sedate exterior styling the automaker had become known for. A spindle grille design flanked by LED headlamps and L-shaped daytime running lamps gives the new GS a compelling appearance.
Coupe-like proportions give the sedan a dynamic profile. LED tail lamps accentuate the back of the car. Strategically-placed aero fins help to reduce aerodynamic drag for enhanced fuel efficiency. Coefficient of drag is .26.
Elegant interiorThe interior of the new GS is one of the nicest designs I've seen come out of the Lexus studio. The combination of aniline leather and bamboo is sumptuous without being gaudy. It reminds me of high-end European furniture.
I don't know that I actually need 18 driver's seat adjustments, but the seat is indeed comfortable. The leg extensions reduce fatigue for people like me who have disproportionately long femurs. The adjustable lumbar offers exceptional lower back support. I was able to position the power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel low enough to have a clear view of the road.
A mouse device enables the driver to scroll through selections on the center stack screen with minimal distraction. I found graphics on the screen easy to read in a variety of lighting conditions.
Designers did a good job of providing ample storage around the passenger compartment, including bottle holders in all four doors and a large locking glovebox. A 110-volt power outlet behind the center console enables second-row passengers to plug in a computer. The app suite feature the driver to pair his smart phone with the car, to access Pandora, IHeart radio, OpenTable, Bing and MovieTickets.com through the car's center stack display and audio system.
Passengers in the second-row outboard seats have plenty of leg, head and hip room. The middle passenger has to straddle a rather tall floor tunnel, but there's enough legroom behind the center console for short trips around town.
Engineers repositioned the nickel-metal hydride battery pack to increase trunk space compared to the former model. The trunk can hold a weekend's worth of luggage, a golf bag or the weekly groceries. However, there is no pass-through for longer items such as skis or snowboards.
Standard safety
The Lexus GS 450h comes with front, side, side curtain, driver and front passenger knee airbags, rain-sensing automatic windshield wipers, bi-xenon headlamps with headlamp washers, daytime running lamps, active front head restraints, antilock brakes, stability and traction control. Lexus Safety Connect provides stolen vehicle location. The system will also notify police and emergency medical personnel in the event of a serious collision.
A tire pressure monitoring system, tool kit and first aid kit are also standard. The Lexus factory warranty includes complimentary first and second scheduled maintenance service, 24-hour roadside assistance and lodging for emergency breakdowns occurring over 100 miles from home.
Like: A stylish sport sedan with excellent power and performance, and 31 mpg average fuel economy.
Dislike: Location of the battery pack between the trunk and second-row seats limits the sedan's cargo capability.
