text: Micheletti has stood firm in face of calls toreinstate the ousted president [Reuters] OAS renounced Insulza, the OAS chief, flew to Honduras on Friday to demand that the interim government restore Zelaya. Zelaya was removed from power as he was about to press ahead with a non-binding referendum on constitutional change. The 35-member OAS had set Saturday as the deadline for the military-backed interim government to comply with its demands, or be expelled from the regional bloc. In video Honduran economy hurt by political instability Pressure on Hondurasto reinstate Zelaya UN General Assembly condemns Honduras coup Allies fret over coup Turmoil in Honduras Pictures: Honduras crisis But Honduras's interim government beat the OAS to it and on Friday renounced the organisation's charter. Roberto Micheletti, the interim president, said the OAS was attempting to impose "unilateral and indignant resolutions" on the new government. "It is better to pay this high price ... than live undignified and bow our heads to the demands of foreign governments," Micheletti said. The interim government has also said it would arrest Zelaya if he returns to Honduras. Despite this, Zelaya has vowed to return accompanied by regional leaders. Cristina Fernandez, the Argentine president, will accompany Zelaya from Washington DC, the US capital, to Honduras on Sunday, an Argentine government source said on Friday. "Tonight she's travelling to Washington. On Sunday, she'll leave from Washington to Honduras," the source told reporters, on condition of anonymity. Rafael Correa, Ecuador's president, and Miguel D'Escoto, the president of the UN General Assembly, will also accompany Zelaya, the source said. Crisis proposals Lucia Newman, Al Jazeera's Latin America editor, said that several scenarios to solve the crisis had been proposed by OAS member states. Zelaya was ousted before holding a non-binding referendum on constitutional change [EPA] "One of them is that this de facto government, as the OAS calls it, would issue a blanket amnesty that would annul the arrest order for Zelaya," she reported from Tegucigalpa. "In exchange, elections [currently scheduled for January] would be brought forward. But the deposed president would have to be reinstated [pending the election's outcome]. I understand that this proposal was put forward by Argentina." However, Micheletti's government has said that while it will consider bringing forward elections, it is unwilling to reinstate Zelaya for any length of time. Newman said that the current crisis is the "biggest challenge that the OAS has ever had to face". "There is absolute consensus in the international community that they have to use their diplomatic might to reverse this coup d'etat. There is consensus that this kind of thing can not happen, and should not happen," she said. SOURCE: Al Jazeera and agencies

Connecting decision makers to a dynamic community of knowledge, people and ideas, Bloomberg rapidly and precisely delivers enterprise and financial info, news and perception world wide. Ignoring the truth that how an air-gapped laptop acquired contaminated with malware within the first place, the brand new research targeted on, once infected, how the malware would be able to transfer information (passwords, cryptographic keys, keylogging information, and so on.) saved on an air-gapped pc, without network, the Internet, USB port, Bluetooth, audio system, or any digital device connected to it.
Lukasz Olejnik , Research Associate at UCL Computer Science, has contributed to a debate on how battery status indicators may be used to trace devices, resulting in privacy publicity. The community of quantum laptop scientists and theorists is working to harness this power, and applications in optimization and chemistry will seemingly be the first to exhibit quantum speed-up. It's a 'Mad Men'-period computer system," says Henry Harteveldt, an analyst with the journey trade company Atmosphere Research Group.
The following article, penned by School of Computer Science Dean Andrew Moore, initially appeared in The Conversation on Tuesday, Aug. Now, researchers have devised a brand new technique to steal knowledge from an contaminated pc even if it has not been bodily linked to the Internet for preventing the computer to leak delicate data stored in it. Science editor Gary Robbins notes that Gupta helped flip the UC San Diego undergraduate computer science program into the most important of its sort within the nation. And there's no guarantee that this methodology can solve every downside effectively, says laptop scientist Rami Barends, a member of the Google crew. The journey of laptop turning into laptop and then iPad is one brilliant example of this truth.

Fianna Fáil plans to capitalise post-Brexit by running in the North
Fianna Fáil is preparing to capitalise on the post-Brexit sentiment by securing its first elected representatives north of the Border in 2019.
Micheál Martin intends to be in a position to run candidates in the 2019 elections in a move that will unsettle both Sinn Féin and the SDLP.
The party has long talked about the possibility of being a political force in the North.
However, the idea was put on ice following the 2011 election drubbing in the Republic.
Mr Martin revealed that he saw 2019 as a realistic target date for a major move into northern politics.
He notes that they are already a registered party and held their youth conference in Newry last year.
He said that after the 2011 General Election the focus was to win back "critical mass in the Republic", but it was an "open possibility" that they would establish full branches in the North.
"I think work needs to be done before I make any declarations in that regard," he said, adding: "We're looking to contest the 2019 local elections. That remains a target."
Fianna Fáil are also set to start work on what the leader described as the first document to set out what a united Ireland might look like.
Party officials are to spend at least 12 months working on a document that investigates the practicalities of a united Ireland, including merging the education and health systems.
"What are we talking about when we talk about a united Ireland? Is it two parliaments?
"The SDLP say they believe in that, so do Sinn Féin. So it's not the only idea that Dublin rules Ireland. You'd have two assemblies," Mr Martin said.
"It's evolving work. I've no sense that Sinn Féin or anybody else have any sense of what the configuration would be.
"Economically, what does it mean? Subsidy-wise, what does it mean? Integration of two health services, what does it mean? There are two education systems, which are quiet different in some respects.
"So there are a whole range of issues there that we're proposing to put a team together to do some work on."

The Department of Medicine at Huddinge comprises seven units, three research centers and, around 70 independent research groups. The Center for Infectious Medicine (CIM) is a research unit within the Department of Medicine Huddinge with a focus on translational studies of the human immune system and infection-immunity in humans. CIM has since its inauguration in 2002 rapidly grown and gained national and international recognition. The vision is to become one of the leading translational research centers within immunity and infectious diseases in Europe.
Research group
The research group where the announced position will be placed is headed by Tim Willinger and studies immune responses in the mucosal tissues gut and lung (http://ki.se/en/medh/tim-willinger-group). We are investigating how the immune system helps maintain healthy organ function and how disturbed immune function causes chronic tissue inflammation. Our studies focus on two types of tissue-resident immune cells that carry out specialized functions to maintain organ homeostasis: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and macrophages. To make our studies relevant to humans, we have developed innovative models that allow us to study the cells and function of the human immune system in vivo (Nature Biotechnology 32:364, 2014).
Innate lymphoid cell migration
ILCs are a recently described family of immune cells that are enriched in tissues interacting with the outside world. We are particularly interested in how ILCs migrate within the body and to sites of inflammation, see our recent publication (Immunity 48:120, 2018). The project's main focus is to explore the link between ILC migration, ILC function, and organ homeostasis in steady-state and inflammation.
The successful candidate is expected to play a leading role in experimental design, experimentation, analysis, and presentation/publication of results.
Entry requirements
Qualified to be employed as a postdoctor is one who has obtained a doctorate or has equivalent scientific competence.
To qualify, the applicant must have publications in internationally peer-reviewed journals. Merit is given to applicants who are experienced in multicolor flow cytometry and functional immunological assays. Great advantage is experience in designing and performing animal experiments and previous work with genetically-modified mice.
The candidate should be a talented and highly motivated researcher, have good communication skills, and ability to interact effectively and work productively in a team. Fluency in English is a requirement. Emphasis will be placed on scientific track record as well as personal suitability.
Application process
An application must contain the following documents in English:
The application is to be submitted through the Varbi recruitment system.

Knöllinger FLO-TEC GmbH
In June 2002, the Knöllinger FLO-TEC GmbH was founded as a partner of Knöllinger Keramische Verschleißteile GmbH (Refractories). Having it´s headquarter in Hillscheid/Germany.
Our product range includes the traditional ladle sliding gates, based on FLO-CON, as well as on FLO-CON based, hydraulic closed generation type 17.
As an innovative company it is our aim to develop high quality products that correspond to the requirements of our customers. The fact that we employ people with an experience of many years in the FLO-CON area is a key factor for success in this field.
Furthermore we have developed a new Sliding Gate Valve type FT that is safe, easy to handle and cost-saving in maintenance. This mechanism can be operated with the new developed FT-refractory plates as well as with standard FLO-CON plates or other plates of other systems, thus giving independence to the user.
All of these mechanisms are also available as a three-plate system.
Based on the FT- 3-plate systems, the latest development stage has been designed: The "gas-tight" ladle sliding gate valve. This mechanism has been developed for customers who have particularly high demands on the steel quality. Inert gas can pass through the mechanism and lead to the ladle shroud. So a combination of stream and slide gate shielding is realized, which means maximum protection against the atmosphere.
Our product range also includes separation / emergency slide, and precision plug jacks.
More information can be found under each of the relevant product information. You can also feel free to contact us, however.

Winning cases and setting precedent is important, but never lose focus on serving your client. If you have trouble developing a rapport with your client, there are steps you can take to fix it, which will benefit both of you in the long run.
Lawyers love to hear themselves talk and sometimes miss out on important details, including what the client wants. If you find you are having problems communicating with your client, stop talking and listen to what they are saying.
As noted above, you also need to focus on your clients needs, not yours. There are many strategic reasons for doing things certain ways, but some clients need resolution faster than others. Make sure you think about it whether your strategic move is really in the client's best interests.
Be honest with your clients. Clients may not understand all of the details of certain legal theories, but they can smell puffery and a lawyer who talks big. Clients want a proficient and confident lawyer, not an overconfident salesman. When you cannot answer a clients question—just say I don't know. Acting like a real person will help create a bond between you and your client.

I'm Forming A Committee of People Who Will Make Romantic Choices FOR Me. I Have Fired Myself.
Remember that one Valentine's Day where you were going to stay home, drink a glass of wine and catch up on work, then maybe watch a movie and get some desperately needed rest?
No? That's right! You got drunk and went to the bars for a completely predictable lonely-hearts club party and got wasted before getting NO sleep and going to work hungover and TORE. UP. Bravo.
This is the conversation I had with myself yesterday morning while hazily trying to remember where my keys, lipgloss, and pride were.
Anyway, that was my Valentine's Day…. And just for good measure, I fell both in and out of love in the course of half an hour and now have a stalker.
I was engrossed in conversation with easily the most attractive guy I've seen in a long time and I was silently singing the praises of the Valentine's Gods for finally cutting me some romantic slack. Yeah, he was totally rocking the grungy, artsy thing but he owned his own company. Because I had maybe one too many glasses of wine by this point, I just reveled in my good luck, and didn't consider that a guy like that realistically doesn't exist. But no, I was busy being enamored with my good fortune. It was the best of both worlds. An artsy capitalist. A tall artsy capitalist. A HOT, tall artsy capitalist.
But… then… under his beanie (yes, beanie), I thought… wait… did I just… is that… do you have GREEN hair? "Yeah, I'm super pissed it was supposed to be blue." Oh… Well. No, that's not better.
"I write music too, the tattoo on my arm is my own lyrics actually."
… Because OF COURSE they are.
And after about 45 minutes and 9 red flags later (not even counting the botched Marge Simpson hair), I realized I had not seen him with any friends. At all. Fuck. Did I just give my number to a guy who came to the bars ALONE on VALENTINE'S DAY?
Yes. Yes I did. And now he won't stop texting me about how "sad" he is.
And I had hoped to make out with a stranger, but didn't. (This was, strangely enough, disputed) I have some sort of inherent cock-block tendency though that reared its ugly head that evening. I generally do not do well with the sort of meet-a-stranger-let-em-touch you kind of game. I'm awkward, and I need to validate every physical encounter I have. In other words: if I make out with you, I expect us to date. If you see me naked, we're practically facebook official. In essence I was silently screaming in my head "WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME?" at everyone in the bar that evening. Well, not everyone. The guy with green hair already did love me.
…Because OF COURSE I would manage to attract only certifiably insane loners.

The Colt 9mm Submachine Gun is a lightweight, compact weapon encompassing the same straight line construction and design of the world renowned Colt M16 Rifle. This straight line construction, coupled with the low recoil associated with 9mm ammunition, provides highly accurate fire with less muzzle climb, especially in full
automatic fire. Less recoil also facilitates ease of training and improves accuracy. Like the M4 Carbine and Commando models, the Colt 9mm SMG fires from closed bolt, is equipped with a 4-position sliding buttstock and is readily field stripped without the need of special tools. Operation and training are similar to that of the M4 Carbine and M16 Rifle eliminating the need for substantial cross training.
The Colt 9mm SMG is blowback operated rather than the conventional direct impingement gas operation of the AR-15 series rifles, and it fires from a closed bolt.
The overall aesthetics are relatively similar to most AR-15 rifles. Changes include an enlarged brass deflector which replaces the standard AR-15 brass deflector. The magazine well of the receiver is modified using a special adaptor to allow the
usage of smaller 9mm magazines. Factory Colt 9mm SMGs are equipped with a 10.5 inch length barrel and M16A1 style upper receiver. The magazines are a copy of the Israeli UZI SMG magazine with a modified locking slot to fit the AR-15's different magazine release button.
All Colt 9mm SMGs have an M16 style upper receiver, which means they feature a fixed carry handle with A1 sights and no forward assist. Current Colt production models are the RO635 which features a Safe/Semi/Full Auto selective fire trigger group and the RO639 which features
a Safe/Semi/3 round Burst selective fire trigger group. Both are equipped with a 10.5 inch length barrel. The 633 was a modified compact version with a 7 inch (178 mm) barrel and simplified front sight post used by the DEA.
The latest version of the 635 is simply marked SMG 9mm NATO.
Exploiting the ergonomic similarity to the AR-15 and M16 families, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Marshal's Special Operations Group and a number of other federal agencies have adopted the 635, as have several elite counter-terrorist and military special-operations units. A number of local law enforcement Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) use the 635 as an entry/close quarters battle weapon due to the 9mm Parabellum being safe against overpenetration, similar to the H&K MP5. The civilian-legal semi-automatic "carbine" version has found considerable favor in lieu of the shotgun with a growing number of police and sheriff's departments around the country when range is not of concern, mainly in urban areas. 5.56mm carbines are still favored in patrol cars when shooting would occur at distances over 100 meters.
These Submachine guns are extensively used by the SWAT operated under the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP)

Google on Tuesday refuted recent reports that it will open an online music store and that it plans to acquire Napster.
In the digital music market, Google is sticking with its strategy of delivering music-related information via its search engine and providing its users with links to third-party online music stores, the Mountain View, California, company said in a statement.
Napster's stock shot up more than 50 percent at one point on Tuesday after the New York Post reported in an anonymously-sourced article that Google "is considering an extensive alliance with Napster, which could include an outright acquisition."
Napster operates an online music store and an online music subscription service, a hybrid model in this market. Users can purchase songs or entire albums, download them from the store and keep them forever. They can also pay a monthly fee and get unlimited access to the contents of the Napster music library.
Napster's stock closed at US$3.12 per share on Monday, but climbed as high as US$4.95 on Tuesday, fueled by the Post story. At press time, it was trading at US$3.77, up about 21 percent. In the past 12 months, it has fluctuated between US$2.95 and US$9.84.
Last week, Bear Stearns & Co. financial analysts speculated in a research report that Google is building an online music store to rival Apple Computer's iTunes.
Making clear that Google hadn't confirmed their speculation, the analysts wrote that they expect the search giant to release a beta, or test, online music store in the next three to six months.

A little over ten years ago her body was behaving strangely. I remember it well because, at the time, my husband and I lived next door to my parents.
I remember getting home from work and walking the dirt path that connected my backyard to theirs. I remember going into the house through their back door and sensing a heavy fog of uncertainty and frustration as she and my dad sat in the unknown of her mysterious lack of health.
Then she got the diagnosis: Parkinson's.
It was handed to her like a new script for her life.
It was as though Parkinson's itself entered our family as an obnoxious and unwelcome guest, forcing itself on my mother and saying to her, "here you go, here's the new you," and as hard as my mom fought against accepting her new role, the forcefulness at which it was thrown at her made it unavoidable.
As the days passed by, they took with them the ease of daily mundane tasks.
Parkinson's did its darnedest to steal away all joy and hope and in all honesty, some days it succeeded.
Things such as vacuuming, grocery shopping and walking across the room became huge, steep mountains my mom was forced to climb, or tumble down trying. Parkinson's did its darnedest to steal away all joy and hope and in all honesty, some days it succeeded.
This was the life my mom had no choice but to live in.
Frankly, it sucked.
Her new life now consisted of neurologists, tiny red, blue and opaque pills, special diets, and a motorized scooter. For a time in the beginning years of her diagnosis, friends and family would call daily offering her fragments of hope,
- "Did you watch Doctor Oz yesterday? He said a cure for Parkinson's is less than ten year away."
- "Did you see the interview with Michael J. Fox? Look how active he is."
- "Here, try this supplement/herb/essential oil."
But this strange illness trying to take over my mom's life did not seem to care about scientific advancements, and the supplements, special diets and essential oils, which never seemed to do the job they claimed they could do. The offers of hope being thrown my mom's way always seemed to fall flat.
We quickly had to realize we could not place our hope in doctors or medication, in special diets or scientific breakthroughs.
The only place for our hope to find a home was the very place it sprang from—Jesus.
Maybe you are in a place of hopelessness today.
Maybe, like my mom, you are battling an illness that is trying to take over your very life.
Or maybe your hopelessness is in the form of a severed relationship, loss of control, unmet expectations. All of us have either been there or will be there at some point in our lives. Here are some things to remember when hope seems so far away:
- Hope is a choice: Some of us are clinging to hope like a lifeboat, holding on tight with both hands, trying to pull ourselves onboard. For others, hope is the pin sized hole of light at the end of an all-consuming tunnel. Either way, we've got to hold on. It's one step in front of another, breath in, breath out, repeat. If there is one thing my mom has taught me during the past ten years of Parkinson's, it is that you cannot have hope if you do not choose it.
- God is a God of Hope: While hope is a choice, there will be moments when choosing hope seems impossible. I know for my mom, and for our whole family, there were moments, especially early on, when the only feelings floating around our lives was one of hopelessness. I believe in those moments we need to remember, God is a God of hope and He has already chosen us. When it is seemingly impossible to choose hope, have peace siting in His good graces and His love for us. The hope will come…it really will.
- It's okay not to be okay: So you're feeling sad or overwhelmed or frustrated. It's okay. Maybe you're going through something where one day you feel great and the next as though you are falling off a cliff, it's okay. Sometimes trying to fix a tough situation is more difficult than just sitting in it and letting things be hard. Hard is not necessarily bad, sometimes it's just hard. So often the hope we are looking for is waiting for us there, in the muck and the mud. My mom told me that once she sat in the hard, muddy places Parkinson's forced her into, she discovered beauty in the form of compassion and empathy. Sometimes the only way to discover hope is by sitting in the dirt from which it blooms.
Today, my mom still has Parkinson's.
But because of the hope she has in Jesus, Parkinson's does not have her.
The past ten years have taught her hope is going to win, every single time.
She knows this life is a blink and she knows from where her hope comes. She has learned and taught me along the way, when you place your hope in Jesus, no matter how far away it may seem, it is always right there.

FIORDLAND NATIONAL PARK, NZ — "You're welcome to a pint of Speight's, Mr. Canada, but you'll have to order it with a Kiwi accent."
The New Zealander issuing the challenge was "Ms. Biddy," a Milford Track guide by day and our group's gatekeeper of pre-dinner drink by night. Speight's is the South Island's brew of choice, and my need to replace my body's depleted electrolytes after a full day of hiking in pristine rainforest produced a fairly desperate, "I'll have a Spaayt's, mate." I was promptly rewarded with the refreshing medicinal beverage.
The Milford Track has long had the reputation of a grail for hiking enthusiasts. South Island hiking is varied and first-class, and although Milford is not rated the most difficult of the island's many tracks, it arguably lives up to its reputation as "the finest walk in the world."
The NZ Department of Conservation (DOC) maintains the natural conditions at Milford. The Track is isolated. Helicopters are the transportation of choice to haul supplies and make emergency medical withdrawals. The DOC issues time-sensitive walking permits to control the access to the area. They will allocate up to fifty spots daily on a reserved basis; no other camping is permitted.
There are only two ways to experience the track; both enjoy the same trails and scenery, but the difference in the level of comfort is significant. Independent trekkers carry large packs containing their own equipment, food, and bedding for the hike. They have a one-night use of the DOC-monitored huts that provide sleeping spaces assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, and fuel for cooking, for four days; it's self-serve, unheated accommodation similar to a basic hostel.
At this stage in my hiking career I chose to enjoy the comfort provided by Ultimate Hikes. For five days and four nights this outfit provides guides and full-service lodges located on the track, with a variety of sleeping accommodations and hot water, heated drying rooms for wet gear and staff-prepared meals. This tour expediter will also supply rainwear and appropriate backpacks, which eliminate the need for touring/cruising visitors to pack this gear. Of course, there is a financial cost for these creature comforts, but for me it was worth the price.
A group of up to fifty walkers a day may seem a little unwieldy at first glance, but in practice the hikers do not step along the trails in a solid 50-person military parade. You walk at your own pace, although you do have to complete the prescribed section of the day. I found that I joined small groups of one to four hikers walking at a similar pace on the trail. A good part of the time, you find yourself striding along the banks of the Arthur River alone, soaking in the exceptional alpine scenery while listening to the soothing hum of chattering black cicadas.
The next morning, after a bus ride to the town of Te Anau, we boarded a lake launch that dropped us off at Lake Te Anau's Glade Wharf. A short hike took us Glade House for a one-night stay. The meals were catered by staff. In the morning, after a full buffet breakfast, hiking started in earnest, and we trekked 14 to 16 kilometres on most days. The well-defined trails displayed no sign of manmade litter. Emerald moss and silver ferns blanketed the floor of the mainly beech forest, and healthy brown trout were clearly visible (though not biting for me) in the transparent azure tinted streams. You'll need a local fishing permit which may be purchased in advance online.
"Do you feel like you achieved something personal today, mate?" came the question from this morning's trail companions, Sharon and Wayne Simpson, who are Australians from just outside of Auckland. We were taking a breather after a stiff vertical hand-over-hand rope-climb, a detour necessitated by a recent avalanche which blocked a portion of the zigzag switch-back trail.
The reward for the unscheduled climb was the entrance to Mackinnon Pass. The 1073-metre summit of the pass was a least fifteen degrees cooler than the conditions at the base of Mt. Balloon. In contrast to the dense rainforest, the pass named after its Scottish discoverer is a treeless, coarse grass covered windy access to the famed Milford Sound.
Powerful waterfalls and crystal-clear streams afford wonderful, sweet, refreshing water to refill your drinking supply. The guides recommend eating our picnic-style lunches near waterfalls "because the spray from the roaring water keeps the sand flies at bay." Indeed, the sand flies are the main pest that I've encountered in this rainforest; they look and bite a lot like North American black flies, although we are well-prepared with repellents.
Overall, the region doesn't claim great varieties of predatory wildlife. There aren't any native species of snakes in New Zealand and only one type of dangerous spider. If you were hoping to see the famous Kiwi — a flightless New Zealand bird — in the wild, you'll probably be disappointed. You will have occasional trail encounters with a cheeky (and also flightless) bush hen called a Weka. And the pesky Kea — a large species of parrot — will tear apart anything you leave unattended outside at night, including your expensive hiking boots. The largest creature that I witnessed on the Track was a New Zealand Pigeon, which was so large and noisy I thought a Condor was flying overhead.On day three, a 16-kilometre walk along the Clinton River provides the option of a 5-kilometre bonus stroll to nearby Sutherland Falls, but only if you can arrive at the lodge before tea time. I joined a small group to take advantage of this excursion and venture behind the base of this thundering 630-metre-high waterfall. We were a little late (and soaking wet) returning from the falls for afternoon tea, but the sights, sounds and tastes of this experience will last a lifetime.
The trek concluded with a one-night stay at Mitre Peak Lodge, which provides excellent views of Mitre Peak and Milford Sound, and operates exclusively to accommodate guided hikers. The trip included a very pleasant morning Red Boat group cruise of the mythical Milford Sound. The night before we returned to Queenstown we enjoyed a celebratory dinner of local farmed roast venison with macadamia nut-seasoned mashed potatoes, accompanied by a fine Hawke's Bay cabernet sauvignon. The entire group received a personalized certificate of achievement and a class picture. We were Group 92, and proud of it.

Liam Payne is the latest to jump on the reggaeton bandwagon. The 24-year-old English singer experiments with the popular genre with "Familiar" which features J. Balvin. Having the "Mi Gente" hitmaker on board certainly gives Payne some Latin cred.
His solo career started off with a bang with "Strip That Down" which cracked the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10. However, his followups received only lukewarm responses. "Get Low" featuring Zedd, "Bedroom Floor" and "For You" featuring Rita Ora only peaked at No. 91, No. 98 and No. 76 respectively.
"Familiar" is catchy enough and sounds tailor-made for summer, but will it be a smash? Only time will tell. Give it a listen below.

It's midsummer, this means that my writing has taken a back seat to my family, vacations and visitors. Still, I fiddle with my books, look at fellow writers' blogs, and scheme my September plan of attack. Do you have a plan of attack? Here's mine.
It's midsummer, this means that my writing has taken a back seat to my family, vacations and visitors. Still, I fiddle with my books, look at fellow writers' blogs, and scheme my September plan of attack. Do you have a plan of attack? Here's mine.
Mission Statement: Write books that entertains, inspires, and encourages spouses to hug and kiss each other, parents to laugh and play with their children, friends whisper kind words to each other and strangers to exchange pleasantries and practice charity and goodwill.
The Five Year Goal: Twenty published novels. Hundreds of blog posts. Travel books.
Market and Focus: Female audience (except for my brothers and cousins who read my books) over the age of thirteen. Predominately well educated, older women who are looking for something to read on the plane or on the beach or who need an escape. My books are the equivalent of a bath without water—a totally immersing, relaxing, mood enhancer. My books are meant to be shared with anyone, including but not limited to, grandmothers, daughters, priests and yogis.
Competitor Analysis: Continue to watch and learn from fellow writers by lurking on online writer forums, groups and blogs. Scrounge good ideas.
Strengths: (Why I Will Be Successful): Limitless time, discipline and an incredible imagination. Support from family, friends and writers' groups.
Obstacles: Limited budget. Discouragement. False expectations. A profound hatred and fear of self promotion.
Promotion: At least one hour a day, five days a week. This entails blogging, querying review sites, guest posts, newsletters, give-aways, contests, book trailers, how to guides, sprinkled with a select few personal forays where I actually have to leave the house and interact with humans.
Writing Schedule: Four hours a day, five days a week with a weekly goal of 10k words, drafting. That equates to a first draft in six to eight weeks, depending on the length of the novel. One month, same daily schedule, for editing and revisions. Goal: three to four books published a year. A summer vacation. A Christmas break.
Conclusion: In a world swimming with entertainment, I will provide wholesome, witty, and romantic escapism for my family, friends and any who may find me and my books.

Some historical maps for the mapping the Via Appia project.
This will be updated in a later stage.
This webpage shows the preliminary outcomes of HERCULES WP 2, case study landscape Uppland, Sweden. More information about HERCULES can be foudn here: www.hercules-landscapes.eu
Daniel Löwenborg and Kim von Hackwitz (Uppsala University http://www.uu.se/)
The historic development of the landscape in Uppland is highly influenced by the marked regressive shoreline displacement after the Holocene. Today the land is rising by about 5 millimetres per year, but since this process is slowing down it has historically been faster, and has altered the character of the landscape considerably. This creates a horizontal stratigraphy in the landscape where prehistoric sites that was once water bound are now found further inland the older they are. The changing landscape also meant that the characteristics of the landscape changed, and new land with different geological characteristics became available for occupation. Since subsistence strategies changes over time, with different land use and landscape preferences, this means that long term settlement patterns become complex and an understanding of the changing shorelines are fundamental for understanding long term landscape use. Archaeological remains from different periods and of different character are distributed over the landscape in a reflection of these landscape changes. For these reasons, the Uppland case initially focuses on modelling the shoreline dynamics in relation to isostatic land rise.
This website provides a viewing interface for the data collected for the Case study landscape of the Dutch river delta in the context of the EU funded HERCULES research programme (http://www.hercules-landscapes.eu/). The overarching goal of this transdisciplinary research project is to increase understanding of drivers, patterns, and values of European cultural landscapes and to use this knowledge to develop, test, and demonstrate strategies for their protection, management, and planning.
The project builds on the development and application of innovative technologies and tools for assessing cultural landscapes. The strong involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises and non-governmental organisations provides a prototype for the empowerment of these institutions in landscape planning and management. The project cooperates closely with public and private authorities, agencies, and associations of citizens at local, national, and EU levels. Five objectives address the key topics of the call and form the structure of the project.
Objective 1: To synthesise existing knowledge on drivers, patterns, and outcomes of persistence and change in Europe's cultural landscapes
Objective 2: To perform targeted case studies to develop in-depth insights on dynamics and values of cultural landscapes
Objective 3: To develop a typology of cultural landscapes and scale-up case study insights using observations and landscape modelling
Objective 4: To develop visions for re-coupling social and ecological components in cultural landscapes and translate them into policy and management options
Objective 5: To design and implement a community-based Knowledge Hub for Good Landscape Practice and test it with land users, agencies, small and medium-sized enterprises, and citizen associations
The data presented in this webviewer are part of the Spatial Data Infrastructure developed for HERCULES´s Work Package 2. The principal aim of WP 2 is to enhance methodologies to collect data and to create knowledge about the long-term dimension of cultural landscape change. Its specific objectives are:
- to define an innovative methodological procedure for understanding the long-term development and transformation of cultural landscapes, drawing on recent insights from landscape archaeology, geography and (historical) ecology;
- to develop and test an infrastructural facility (Spatial Data Infrastructure; SDI) for retrieving and linking archaeological, historical and ecological data and geo-information to support the interdisciplinary study of landscape change
- to develop and test models for analyzing long-term trends in landscape history in the case study sites
- to share research outcomes with relevant stakeholders through the knowledge hub developed
Within HERCULES WP2 the concrete possibilities of dynamic modeling will be explored by adopting a case study approach. This will be done for three different areas, each being representative for more widespread environmental and climatic conditions within Europe: Atlantic (the Dutch river area), Boreal (the Uppland area, Sweden) and continental European conditions (Kodavere and Vooremaa, Estonia). A Mediterranean area (Puglia, Italy) will be used for comparison. All case studies, most notably the Dutch and Swedish ones, will start from the premises defined in Section 4 and follow the operational principles of Section 5. For each of the three main study regions a somewhat different modelling framework will be adopted to achieve this aim. Therefore, we will briefly introduce each of the case study landscapes below.

Your cart is empty.
The Gladiator® Premier Jumbo GearBox stands at six feet tall and two feet deep to easily hold your larger household items. This EZ design unit comes equipped with three full-width shelves that provide exceptional space for everything from camping gear to sports equipment. Locking Tread Plate doors with large recessed handles ensure that power tools and sharp equipment are safely stored. An included Wall Bracket Kit makes this storage cabinet easy to reposition on Gladiator® Wall Systems.
Garage clutter, beware. There's a cabinet in town that's coming for ya. The Gladiator Premier Jumbo Cabinet is a beast. 3 feet wide. 2 feet deep. 6 feet tall. 21 gauge steel. This cabinet is going to accommodate all your storage needs. This cab has 3 shelves. One fixed and 2 adjustable in 6 different places so storing taller items won't be an issue. You can pack this baby up to 300lbs too! Don't worry about valuables as this cabinet is indeed lockable. The cabinet comes with leveling legs so uneven garage floors are no issue. And if you don't want it sitting on the floor you're in luck; it comes with a wall bracket kit included so you can hang it on Gladiator Wall Panels or on Gladiator Gear Tracks. That will free up floor space nicely. No need to worry about corrosion either since this cabinet's powder coating process electrostatically bonds and bakes the protective coating to the bare metal. The treadplate doors will let all your neighbors know you purchased Gladiator products. So I guess the question you need ask yourself is this: Are you ready to be the envy of your neighbors?
Assembly was okay, BUT...you need a drill with phillips bit. My stepson was putting his together (no drill) and he developed a blister on his palm because he was trying to 'force' the screws into the pre-made holes. (an "A" for effort, at least). After loaning him my drill the screws went in much easier.
The unit only came with one key and he needs two.
One of the feet came off and fell apart while moving it. I think it screwed back on, but he was able to put it back together and screw it back into the bottom of the unit.
Very good design and easy to assemble.

Julie, a 20-year-old student at Brigham Young University, didn't exactly grow up dreaming of appearing on MTV's "The Real World." The cable channel was off-limits at her LDS home in Wisconsin.
And that didn't change a whole lot when she got to BYU.
"I don't have much exposure to MTV at all. I'd seen a couple episodes of 'Real World' at a friend's house, but that was it," she said in a telephone interview with the Deseret News. "I mean, I really didn't know what I was getting into."
What Julie (they only use first names on "The Real World" to provide some tiny privacy protection) got herself into was MTV's most popular program the story of seven strangers picked to live in a house and have their lives videotaped for six months. In this case, the house a Greek revival mansion decked out in IKEA's best was in New Orleans, which (not surprisingly) turned out to be a far cry from her student apartment in Provo.
If the thought of a BYU student on MTV comes as a surprise, well, Julie shares the feeling. She said she never really thought that, of the 35,000 hopefuls who auditioned, she'd be picked. What she was really after was a free trip to Los Angeles for the audition finals.
"And when I went to L.A., it was just life-changing. I got out there, and I saw a whole new world that I've never seen before," she said. "I met some really cool people, and I realized, if this experience could be this cool in a couple of days, imagine four months in a new place with new people. I just wanted to meet new people, see new things, see what I wasn't seeing in Provo."
She didn't have to look far. Her roommates included four men and two women. Two were members of minorities, one was a gay man, most had a considerably different set of moral standards. (Most, but not all. One young man, a staunch Catholic, proudly proclaims in the first episode his intention to remain a virgin until he's married.)
Not surprisingly, Julie's religion is a major playing point in this year's "Real World." And some of the reactions to it are laughable.
"I've gotten hit with so many Mormon myths, you don't even know," she said. "I've been dispelling a lot of them."
In the first hour, one roommate actually asks her if she's married he's under the illusion that all Mormons marry at the age of 15 or 16. The question of whether she can drink Coke comes up. Later on, people assume Mormons have prohibitions against dating, dancing and even makeup. Julie didn't hesitate to answer questions, but she's at least a little bit uncomfortable with the thought of representing the LDS Church.
"I went into this saying that I was not going to represent Mormonism," she said. "I recognize, though, that it being my religion, that I am a representative of it. And I think I have handled that responsibility in a good way because I've been true to myself throughout. I haven't tried to be a bad representative, I've just been myself."
And being herself includes not only a commitment to her set of values but a sense of humor. In that first episode, she teases her parents about how she's sharing a room with a guy (she doesn't) but that it's OK because they share a large bed. You've got to wonder, however, if viewers are going to understand that her father is joking when he talks about coming down to New Orleans and building a "wall of Jericho," or if they'll see him as a religious zealot.
And she didn't exactly get a lot of support from her family or friends. Her parents were decidedly unenthusiastic about her taking part in "The Real World," and there are hints that her father comes to New Orleans to try to talk her into leaving. (She can't comment as per MTV's prohibitions against giving away "plot" points.)
Growing up in smalltown Wisconsin, Julie was used to being in the minority as a Mormon. But living in New Orleans which she described as "a bit of a sin bin" was indeed the culture shock she was expecting.
"It was just basically mainstream Wisconsin culture I was living in. And then I go to BYU for three years, and I'm living this mainstream Mormon culture. And so then to be thrown in a situation where there's so much diversity," she said. "But it was great. It opened my eyes. I saw so much. I learned so much in four months that I've never even known about.
"I'm grateful for that because it opened my eyes. Life is not always beautiful. Life is not always Zion. And if you live thinking that it is that way and just saying, 'Yeah, I know about bad places,' but you never have actually seen what it's about, I just think that's dangerous.
"I've made it clear to these people that not all BYU students are the way that they seem. And I think I'm a shining example of that." Julie said. "But I will not deny the fact that there is an overwhelming stigma about our university of these sheltered, they-don't-think-they're-closed-minded-but-they-are kind of people. And I think I was more that way before I came here, and this place has opened up my eyes to a lot of things."
In the end, Julie said she both influenced her roommates and was influenced by them.
"Obviously, the way I live shocked my roommates," she said. "This whole experience has made me re-evaluate my beliefs and just the way I think about things. But it's been in a very positive way, because I walk away from it no longer just believing everything written on paper or everything told to me. I have strong convictions in what I believe and in what I don't believe. I can say that I have learned a lot of things from myself, and I think that's the most important thing. And I wish more people at BYU and more people in general would just open their eyes and get away from what they've always known, and figure out who they are and what they believe.
"Don't get me wrong. There are so many open-minded people. There are so many people at BYU that are not sheltered like I was. But at the same time, there are a lot of people who are."
She's not exactly sure what she wants to do with her life post-"Real World," although she's not angling for a regular TV gig. "I'm not here for fame. I'm not into the whole ego-driven, MTV thing so much. I'm not trying to be a veejay," she said with a laugh.
She'd like to go back to BYU, but she hasn't heard yet whether she'll be accepted back. She's a bit worried, given that her living arrangements in New Orleans weren't quite up to what the school's honor code requires. (Sharing the mansion with men.)
"It will be interesting to see if BYU lets me back into school. I think it will be all right," Julie said.
According to BYU spokeswoman Carrie Jenkins, officials at the school who, not surprisingly, weren't particularly familiar with the show will be watching to see what it's all about and what happened to Julie while she was in New Orleans. No decision has been made on whether Julie will be re-admitted.
Julie didn't tell school officials what she was doing until just a few weeks ago. They tried to return her call, but when told that they had to agree to have their phone conversation taped for "The Real World," they declined.
Whatever happens, Julie said she has no regrets.

'Ruling is just, but no relief': Brother of Igor Kornelyuk on Savchenko's verdict – EXCLUSIVE
"The ruling is just. Evil must be punished. We do not feel relieved, not really. But we feel somehow lighter now that she is to go to jail. Although, I wonder whether she will actually be put into prison…" Oleg said, alluding to the latest proposals made by the Ukrainian authorities to exchange Savchenko for two Russian servicemen detained in Ukraine.
Earlier on Tuesday, a court in the southern Russian town of Donetsk found Savchenko guilty of murdering the two Russian journalists near Lugansk in eastern Ukraine, and of illegally crossing the Russian border. She was sentenced to 22 years in prison and a fine.
"Twenty-two years is a fair term. God willing, she mends her ways during this time. She'll have enough time to look at what she's done. A person must answer for such crimes as hers, and must answer for a long time," Oleg said, commenting on the verdict.
In the summer of 2014, two Russian journalists – Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin – were covering the bloodshed in Eastern Ukraine, when they were tragically killed in shelling outside Lugansk. According to the court's materials, Nadezhda Savchenko, a gunner on an Aidar battalion helicopter, reported their location to Kiev troops, who then shelled the area. The attack resulted in the deaths of other civilians as well.

"This person [Savchenko] doesn't just have blood on her hands, she is covered in it. Not only the two Russian journalists died there, there were Ukrainian civilians as well among the victims. She will have to answer to higher powers for all the rest of her wrongdoings," Oleg said.
He also dismissed the claims of Ukrainian nationalists that say Savchenko's case has been fabricated and that she is a hero, who was defending her country.
"It's strange [that some] call her a hero. That is after sitting in the bushes and showing the artillery where to strike to hit civilians."
"I forgive her," he added. "What's done is done. No one will give us [Igor] back, but we do not hold any grudge against her. It's the higher forces that she'll have to answer to."

The Ford Model T (colloquially known as the Tin Lizzie, Flivver, T‑Model Ford, or T) is an automobile that was produced by Henry Ford's Ford Motor Company from 1908 through 1927. The Model T set 1908 as the historic year that the automobile became popular. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-cless American; some of this was a cause of Ford's innovations, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting. Ford an aa attemptit a buy on time program tae aid sales, resemblin that o the German Kdf-Wagen (forerunner o the Volkswagen Teep 1). Ford's plan wisna a success, aither. an left the factory on September 27, 1908, at the Piquette Plant in Detroit, Michigan. The Model T wis the first automobile mass produced on assembly lines wi completely interchangeable pairts, marketed tae the middle class.
Thare wur several caurs produced or prototyped bi Henry Ford frae the foondin o the company in 1903 till the Model T came alang. Awtho he startit wi the Model A, thare wur no 19 production models (A throu T); some wur anerlie prototypes. The production model immediately afore the Model T wis the Model S, an upgradit version o the company's lairgest success tae that pynt, the Model N. The follae-up wis the Ford Model A an no the Model U. Company publicity said this wis acause the new caur wis sic a departure frae the auld that Henry wantit tae stairt aw ower again wi the letter A. As it happens, the first Plymouth caur (1928), biggit bi competitor Chrysler Corporation, wis named Model U.
The Ford Model T wis named the warld's maist influential caur o the twintiet century in an internaitional poll. Henry Ford said o the vehicle:
"I will build a caur for the great multitude. It will be lairge enough for the family, but sma enough for the individual tae run an care for. It will be constructit o the best materials, bi the best men tae be hired, efter the simplest designs that modern ingineerin can devise. But it will be so law in price that nae man makin a guid salary will be unable tae awn ane—an enjoy wi his family the blessin o hours o pleasure in God's great open spaces."

Sure you can wake high school students with cold water, but what kind of a day will these sleep deprived students have?
- May 24, 2012 at 1:47 AM
It just shows out of touch and uneducated our school board is.
- May 24, 2012 at 1:34 PM
Got that right.

As soon as later start times are accepted the next group of vocal parents will emerge shouting about the practices and games and events after school. Might be harder to get coaches too. The talk will turn from sleep deprivation to poor nutrition due to an extended day for high schoolers. There will always be issues. Moving away from PAT in any great volume will take passes from kids who need to get to jobs or home from evening games without an activity bus. Are the kids and parents most in need of transportation the voices we are hearing from most?

Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will
himself call out and not be answered
Proverbs 21:13
There's a problem....
The number of homeless people each year just in the United States is astounding. Yet what's more astounding is that 40% of the homeless population is families with children! 1.37 million (or 39%) of the total homeless population are children under the age of 18 (Wikipedia 2011). Homelessness effects the future of these children. Many homeless children will drop out of school and become homeless themselves.

For Immediate Release
Corey Fisher, Vice President of Internal Affairs – (406) 546-2979
Ben Lamb, Acting Executive Director – (406) 458-0227 (xtn) 108
Helena, MT –Tim Aldrich, President of the Board of Montana Wildlife Federation (MWF), announced the retirement of Craig Sharpe . For12 years, Craig has been the well known and highly respected Executive Director of the Montana Wildlife Federation. Craig has played key roles in the successful efforts of the Federation to protect and enhance Montana's public wildlife, lands, waters and fair chase hunting and fishing heritage. His leadership and vision on issues as far reaching as the elimination of Game Farms, the delisting of wolves and clarification of Bridge Access are some recent examples that have the Montana Wildlife Federation a leading voice both in Montana and Nationally when it comes to wildlife conservation and defending our outdoor heritage.
Sharpe's lasting contributions were recognized at the recent Annual Meeting of the Montana Wildlife Federation when he received the Don Aldrich Conservationist of the Year Award. In his nomination it was stated that, "In many ways, for over twelve years Craig has been the glue keeping MWF, the State's leading Hunter and Angler based conservation organization, focused and effective. His knowledge and passion for the mission of MWF provide a strong basis for what he does both internally and externally…No matter what needs to be done, he is the advisor, the resource to be contacted and involved in getting it accomplished, always with the needed degree of excellence. He is the 'captain of the ship' and often the crew that rows the boat."
"Craig will be sorely missed," said Corey Fisher Vice President of MWF for Internal Affairs. "He has left his own legacy of conservation in Montana and he is truly appreciated and respected by many." Fisher said that the Board of Directors will start the process to find a new Executive Director. Sharpe's retirement became effective August 15th, and the Board has named Ben Lamb as the acting Executive Director to help fulfill the duties and responsibilities so ably performed by Craig.
As we celebrate Craig's storied career, the Montana Wildlife Federation will continue to serve Montana's hunters and anglers in to the future. It is doubtful that the attempts which MWF helped to successfully defeat in the 2011 Legislative session will decrease over time. Those bills would have undermined conservation funding, eliminate the scientific management of wildlife and pitted hunters against other interests. MWF remains committed to our mission to protect and enhance Montana's public wildlife, lands, waters, and fair chase hunting and fishing heritage.
"No organization has invested so much in the future of Montana's wildlife and outdoor heritage as much as has MWF. I am proud to have served the hunters and anglers of Montana through my role at MWF, but now I look forward to spending some time chasing birds, catching fish, and paddling my kayak down a lazy river," said Sharpe.
Long time friend and confidant Jim Posewtiz had the final word on Craig, "Craig has demonstrated his dedication, commitment and passion for Montana's wildlife, and those of who hold wild country and all wildlife near and dear. No one in Montana is more deserving of a retirement in the fields, forests and streams."
The Montana Wildlife Federation is an organization of conservation minded people who share a mission to protect and enhance Montana's public wildlife, lands, waters, and fair chase hunting and fishing heritage. www.montanawildlife.com
