Further appeals in murder investigation
Detectives appealing for information over the murder of Josh Hanson at a bar in Eastcote, Hillingdon, have launched a national manhunt.
Shane O'Brien, 27, of Ladbroke Grove, is being sought by investigating officers who need to urgently speak to him.
Officers say although he has links to the Ruislip area, he could be anywhere in the country.
Detective Chief Inspector Noel McHugh, of the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "We are very keen to speak to Shane O'Brien as part of our ongoing enquiries and we believe he could be anywhere in the UK.
"I would appeal directly to Shane to contact us, or ask that anyone who has seen him or who knows where he is to contact us as well. I do believe someone out there will know where he is."
Shane is described as a white man, 6ft and of muscular build. He should not be approached by members of the public. Any sightings of him should be reported to police immediately on 999.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts can call the incident room on 020 8785 8099 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
Mr Hanson, 21, of Kingsbury died after an incident at the RE Bar in Field End Road, Eastcote, Hillingdon, at approximately 01:10hrs on Sunday, 11 October.
Officers and London Ambulance Service attended and Mr Hanson was found suffering a serious wound to the neck. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
DCI McHugh added: "We have had a positive response to our appeal but are still asking anyone who was in the RE bar between midnight and the time of the incident and has not yet contacted us to get in touch."
Talking previously about Josh, DCI McHugh said: "Josh was a hard-working young lad, up at 5am for his job as a roads planner and often working seven days a week. He had everything to live for and when he went out that Saturday night, no one could have imagined what would happen to him. His family is in pieces."
Any witnesses or anyone with information should also call the incident room or Crimestoppers.
There have been no arrests at present and enquiries continue.

Stocks finished the day higher on Thursday but crude oil made new lows, with WTI crude falling below $60 for the first time since July 2009. Despite finishing way off session highs, the S&P 500 broke its three-day losing streak as the benchmark index still hasn't had four straight losing days this year.
First, the scoreboard:
- Dow: 17,596.3, +63.1, (+0.3%)
- Nasdaq: 4,708.1, +24.1, (+0.5%)
And now, the top stories on Thursday:
1. Oil did it again. In afternoon trade on Thursday, oil plunged to new lows, with WTI crude cracking $60 a barrel for the first time since July 2009. On Wednesday, oil fell below $61 a barrel for the first time since 2009, and another dollar came off the price of oil on Thursday. Unlike Wednesday, however, Thursday saw the overall market hold up well, with the Dow gaining more than 100 points after a 268 point plunge on Wednesday.
2. As the price of oil as has plunged, people have talked about the " breakeven" price for oil drilling projects around the world. But a new note from Morgan Stanley says that the "cash cost" of oil projects is really the more important measure. "Cash cost" is what it takes, basically, to keep the lights on at a drilling project, while "breakeven" prices are more reflective of what price companies would find it attractive to continue funding projects and governments would be able to hit their budget targets.
3. The big economic data release on Thursday was the retail sales report for November, which topped expectations. Retail sales grew 0.7% in November, better than the 0.4% that was expected, and up from a revised level of 0.5% last month. In a note to clients following the report, analysts at Capital Economics said, "The strong rise in retail sales in November shows that we were right to dismiss all the reports that holiday sales have been weak. The truth is that the rapid rises in employment mean that this holiday shopping season will be the best in nine years."
4. Despite the broad improvement in retail sales, sales at gas stations are declining. November marked the sixth straight month that sales at gas stations declined, the most since 1998. This decline doesn't come as a total surprise, however, as retail sales measure gross sales, and with the decline in oil prices, gas prices have also followed, cutting total receipts at gas stations.
5. Also on the economic data front, we got the latest report on weekly initial jobless claims, which showed that claims totaled 294,000 for the week ending December 6, less than the 297,000 that was expected by economists. Following the report, Barclays' Jesse Hurwitz said, "While initial claims have resumed their downward trend following volatility in recent weeks, we look to next week's report to better gauge the near-term trend in continuing claims."
6. Lululemon was a big winner on Thursday, with shares of the yoga apparel maker rising almost 9% after the company reported better than expected third quarter profit and raised its full-year forecast.
7. The Federal Reserve released its latest Z.1 "flow of funds" report— now called the Financial Accounts of the US report — which showed that household net worth fell by 0.2% during the third quarter. The report showed that the value of directly and indirectly held corporate equities held by US households fell by $700 billion during the quarter, while household debt rose at an annualized rate of 5.2%.

The wishlist has already reached the maximum number of products
These sleek and stylish models offer advanced eco technology to reduce energy and water waste, and clever wash features that treat your clothes with tender care.
Sorry, this product is currently not available at any of our online partners.
Sorry, unexpected issue is occurred.Please close this window and retry the purchase.
To achieve perfectly clean clothes, the Inverter changes the motor's rotation and output based on sensors inside the washing machine. This clever technology also ensures less energy consumption and better water efficiency.
The Aqua Spin Rinse reduces water usage during rinsing - the washing cycle that uses the most water. With a wide-angled shower, the water evenly penetrates the clothes, resulting in more efficient rinsing with less water.
Designed to ensure clothes are rotated throughout the drum for a thorough wash. Thanks to unique control, quick reverse rotation of the pulsator is possible.
This generates a motion that uniformly agitates clothes.
The drum is fitted with two big filters that catch more lint without re-releasing into the wash. This enables a more effective wash, even with low water, as the cassette-type filter continues to trap lint at any water level and isn't prone to tearing.
These features mean you get to automatically save on energy consumption and after washing, you don't need to turn off the machine. If the power is interrupted, you can resume washing later at a touch of a button with the auto restart feature, saving you time, energy and a peace of mind.
Panasonic has specially engineered the Silent Arch design. Integrated into the sides of the appliance, this unique design effectively absorbs the sounds which the machine naturally makes during the washing process, reducing bothersome noise and vibration.
The unconventional surface of the Matrix Drum features rounded-edge dimples that cushion the water spouts, protecting your clothes from bumps or tears while thoroughly removing the dirt and grime. Also promoting efficient spin-drying.
Good news for big families: the large drum and wide opening lets you deal with bulky wash loads with the greatest of ease. What's more, the control panel has been conveniently placed to the rear so you can perch your laundry basket on the machine, and so you don't need to worry about dragging wet clothes over electronics.
Since the Panasonic washing machine has a control panel to the rear of the lid, the opening is large and easier to see into, offering a wider visibility. It's also easier to wipe the top surface clean of water stains or caked-on detergent.
The premium wide tempered glass lid creates a clear window into the machine and the curved design integrated into the sides of the appliance works to absorb sounds made during the washing process. The user-friendly rear control panel has been engineered for convenience and is angled to provide perfect visibility, and the interior is fully visible when the lid is open so no clothing items will be left behind.
By incorporating a number of smart features designed save energy and water, this washing machine manages to be kind to the environment and your power bill, earning a 2.5 star energy rating and a 4.0 WELS water rating.

Pietnastka's album Dalia, on Sangoplasmo Records
This week I reviewed Nouveaux Gymnastes, the debut collaboration from Polish composer Piotr Kurek, aka Pietnastka, and French drone musician Mika Perez, aka Sylvia Monnier. In the process of writing my review, I came across Kurek's earlier release, Dalia, released on the same enterprising Polish experimental label that handled the collaboration: Sangoplasmo Records. Since Dalia had sold out of its original cassette pressing, Kurek and Sangoplasmo both consented to having the album available here at the Free Music Archive. I called the thing "a sprawling and epic synthesis of experimental composition with the traditional melodies of eastern Europe", which - God willing - will read as an enthusiastic recommendation.

big blood & winnebagos
It was last summer when I discovered Big Blood hearlding from Maine. My friend Aaron aka Honeybear played them for me while we we're driving in a Winnebago from Portland, Oregon to Calgary, Alberta. Each day driving in a Winnebago from 1973 was pretty ridiculous. We were the slowest vehicle on the road, cars were constantly passing us and the summer sun was blazing down. With Aaron's dog Jasper in the back, crying and sleeping and us in the front with our tapes, C.D.'s, books, collage materials, empty & full cans of Pepsi, figurines from thrift stores on the dash we would slowly drive through central and eastern Washington on a straight away road with hills and fields for miles with Big Blood as the soundtrack.
From their handmade albums with original artwork, collage, screenprints and beautiful album inserts and then to their music which can lead any road trip on the right path. Big Blood was my soundtrack to last summer. The layers of sound, clapping, shaking voices, crishrounds as my friend Jeff calls them, ghost sounds. You feel like you are around a campfire of gypsies singing, dancing, contemplating, awaiting spirits, roasting food, enjoying life.
Listen to them when you want to escape in your mind to a place of heat, colour, comradery.
Listen when on a road trip in the desert.
Listen to them when you're having a bonfire with friends in your hometown with beers and fire roasted apples.
Listen to them in a summer rainstorm.
They are currently touring Europe. If you're out there you should really go check them out, I would love to one day see them perform. Check out their tour schedule here

In order to become licensed as an RN in Wisconsin, an individual must first graduate from a board-approved professional nursing program. One can become licensed either by examination or endorsement, depending on whether or not he or she has been licensed previously.
In order to become licensed by examination, one must register for and pass the NCLEX. He or she must also submit the application for licensure by examination. Along with the application, one must submit the following items:
- Statement of Graduation or Completion from nursing school
- Statement of Foreign Nursing Education (foreign graduates only)
- CGFNS Certificate Required
- Temporary permit application and fees
Applicants for licensure by examination can obtain a temporary permit for up to 90 days while awaiting NCLEX results. If the individual fails the NCLEX, the permit is no longer valid.
RNs that are educated in a foreign country must have a course-by-course credentials evaluation by CGFNS. Evidence of English proficiency is also necessary.

The Best RN Schools in Wisconsin
By offering the most complete directory of nursing schools, NurseGroups.com helps Wisconsin residents find the best local RN programs, as well as the best online RN schools whose accreditation is accepted by the Wisconsin Board of Nursing.
Why Online RN Classes?
Being a registered nurse is a great career. But many working adults who want to become an registered nurse have an extremely busy schedule - balancing a full-time job, family commitments and other personal responsibilities. The traditional classroom setting offered by most local nursing schools doesn't offer the same flexibility as taking their RN classes online.
Online nursing programs allow each student to fit their education into his or her already busy schedule. Online students can participate in discussion forums and take exams when it's convenient for them. RN nursing students can access their virtual classroom 24 hours per day / seven days per week.
Also, taking RN courses online saves students even more time, as online students don't need to commute to school. Online schools enable busy people to get an RN degree, without interfering with their current professional and personal life.

Get Healthy
Real people and their stories of how they ditched unhealthy lifestyle habits are the heroes of a new NSW Ministry of Health campaign, created by JWT Sydney.
The 'Get Healthy' campaign aims to encourage the people of NSW to lead healthier lives and features six 30-sec TVCs and long-form videos in a documentary style.
The Get Healthy program and long form videos can be found here.
"We are incredibly proud of this campaign and believe it will achieve its objective to drive significant behavioural change across NSW," Jenny Willits, general manager JWT Sydney, said.
"What better way to inspire people to achieve and sustain their health goals than hearing stories of success from others with whom they can relate to?" she explained
Dr Jo Mitchell, director of the NSW Centre for Population Health, added: "We needed a strong message to cut through and kick start behavioural change. JWT were tasked with reinvigorating awareness of the Get Healthy Service using the power of real life success stories to provide proof of the program's effectiveness and inspire others to contact the Get Healthy Service. The result is authentic and credible and we hope will inspire people to make a positive change in their lifestyles."

The FDA discussions and considerations for electronic cigarette regulation are beginning in earnest. AEMSA encourages any/all who support Tobacco Harm Reduction to participate.
Speculations are now circulating about draft deeming regulations coming as early as April. After draft deeming regulations are publicly announced, most likely there will be a Public Comment period and then further considerations before any enactment and/or enforcement begins.
The FDA is planning to make recommendations to Congress. The need for us all to be heard is NOW and throughout this process. AEMSA encourages everyone to participate and be HEARD.
The following petition has a deadline of February 13. The stated 25,000 needed signatures as a "Goal" is sort of misleading. 25,000 is the minimum number of signatures for the petition to receive White House staff review and forwarding to appropriate departments of the government. The GOAL is AS MANY AS POSSIBLE (think 50,000 100,000 or MORE).
The process is simple and fast (3 minutes or less). If you have never signed a WhiteHouse.gov petition, you must first register. This is simple and non-invasive. Simply click the button and enter your name and email address (no other personal information is requested). An email will be sent to you immediately and you need only click on the confirm link in that email. Doing so should take you back to the petition where you just click the "sign" button. That's all there is to it. Here is a link to sign the petition.
As this larger process unfolds, there will be more opportunities for Public Comment. AEMSA encourages EVERYONE to participate, appear at Public Hearings, comment at every Public Comment opportunities, write to your elected officials, speak at local hearings, etc. Tobacco Harm Reduction impacts us all – vapers, non-vapers, smokers, friends and families = everyone. We can ALL participate, lend our voices to this cause, tell them YOUR STORIES and experiences and share information we have about completed, current and planned medical and/or scientific research.
Any/All VENDERS can participate and educate your customers. Talk with them about this process – it affects THEM AND YOU. You can print flyers for your store counters and include them in all orders. ANY vender (non-AEMSA venders are invited to contact us) wishing assistance can contact AEMSA using our email: [email protected]
Please SUPPORT Tobacco Harm Reduction with YOUR VOICE. Share your stories and experiences, encourage others to participate through social media and let your voice be heard.

As they are my writing skills aren't bad. However there are some issues I would like to work on. For example if I don't feel completely comfortable with the topic on which I'm writing I get stuck very easily. Unfortunately this has a tendency to lead to procrastination. Similarly when I encounter a question for which I don't have an answer I feel the compulsion to find the answer before proceeding.
My objectives for accomplishing this goal are as follows.
- Write daily - by writing everyday I expect writing will become second nature. Of course not every entry will be posted publicly. Ideally those that are will actually be interesting and I don't expect that everything I write will fall into this category.
- Write quickly - by limiting myself to 30 minutes I hope to learn to organize my thoughts more quickly. This will be most challenging when I don't have a specific topic to discuss or when I'm exploring a new topic.
- Ask questions - by focusing on the questions and not the answers I hope to become increasingly comfortable with not having the answer. Feel free to answer these questions or submit any you feel I may have missed.

corporate responsibility
Corporations have a responsibility to those groups and individuals that they can affect, i.e., its stakeholders, and to society at large. Stakeholders are usually defined as customers, suppliers, employees, communities and shareholders or other financiers.
The responsibility to society at large may well be identical with the responsibility to its various communities. Many have suggested that corporations have a special "social responsibility" over and above its business purpose. In any case corporate responsibility consists of earning a licence to operate by creating value for stakeholders, including shareholders, and society.
Corporate responsibility includes being consistent with ethical principles and conduct such as honesty, integrity and respect for others. By voluntarily accepting responsibility for its actions corporations earn their licence to operate in society.
Companies earn a licence to operate by creating products and services that their customers value, by creating jobs for employees whom they treat fairly and in accordance with the law, and by complying with other applicable laws.
In a case where a company's products are discovered to be harmful to customers, or where their products or operations are deemed harmful to the general public, a company's licence to operate can become imperiled. This may result in penalties that enforce existing laws and regulations, or new laws and regulations that in extreme cases put a company out of business. [1]

I'm combining three smaller bits into one extra awesome blog this time around. Please to enjoy:
You'll Do
There's a scene in one of the recent episodes of 'Justified' where a hit man, posing as a cop, has the misfortune of running across Marshall Raylan Givens. He orders Raylan to get out of his way or face the business end of his pistola. When he draws on our good Marshall, Raylan puts him down with extreme prejudice. After thoroughly aerating the bad guy, Raylan looks at the body of a man who, only moments earlier, he had assumed was a fellow lawman and says, "Jesus, I hope I got that right."
A friend decided that she needed a few things from the mall the other day. So, with nothing else to do, I tagged along as she did a little retailin'. We stopped at the usual places and I tried my best not to look like a pervert while she searched for the perfect pair of underpants. When we got to a store directly across from the restrooms, I excused myself to release some coffee back into the wild. Upon coming out, I walked into the store and came up behind a pretty little brunette who was holding up a transparent white jacket/shirt/thing and said, "You wear that and no one will have any doubt what your boobs look like." I then realized that I had never bothered to look close enough at the cute girl I was talking to to make sure that she was the one I'd come in with. I thought, Jesus, I hope I got that right. My friend turned around and giggled and I let out a little sigh of relief knowing that I wouldn't be getting forcibly removed from the mall for sexually harassing a coed. Tiny victories.
The point of this story is to 1) draw a parallel (however thin) between myself and my favorite small screen cowboy and B) to demonstrate just how bad I am at paying attention even when it's in my best interest to do so.
Ding Dong Duck
I learned this week that ducks are one of nature's least romantic animals. Males have counterclockwise spiraling penises – a corkscrew if you will, while females have clockwise spiraling vaginas because they just don't want any of that nonsense. Oh, and the males get their rocks off in the most rapey way possible (although the scientific phrase is "forced copulations.")
And yet, despite this genital arms race, you can't walk through the local riverside parks during the summer without having to constantly dodge the fluffy little duck babies and their impressive pooping abilities. I guess the ladies of duckdom need to re-evaluate their anti-shag measures.
I bring up sexually predatory Anatidae Anseriformes because Faux News (and their merry band of dumbfucks) threw a stink after learning that the government had spent just shy of $385,000 on a duck dong study by Yale University. I could mention that even the most obscure scientific knowledge often has real world benefits later on or argue that, if we're gonna keep letting churches run tax-free, we should at least spend just as much money as they would pay in order to advance our understanding of the world around us and combat their Iron Age mythology, but I'll just post a link to a clip about that foreign exchange student who was named after a duck's dork instead.
Purse Burritos
Facebook is not getting any better at putting ads in my newsfeed that are actually relevant to me. They are, however, occasionally hilarious. Like this one:
I often turn to the women in my life when I need pain reliever or chapstick or a Kleenex or tweezers because I just expect them to be able to pull whatever I happen to want out of their purses. In fact, a part of me believes that the scene in 'Mary Poppins' when Mary pulls furniture out of her carpet bag is a documentary. If I said I was hungry and one of these ladies pulled a burrito out, however, I don't think our relationship would survive. In fact, one look at this ad was all it took for me to make the decision to NEVER trust any woman with a McWrap (do they know it sounds exactly like 'McCrap') in her handbag. Fajitas are a different matter entirely.

The Dying Art of Political Science
Here is the question: can the people still trust the leaders whom they elected to the position where they were supposed to lead? With the current global situation, political scandals here and there, corruption, company closure, global economic recession, calamities and even war, can the government and the chosen leaders be held accountable for these?
There has been an ethical conflict with the officials governing a country and even in a company or in an organization. Political system – democracy, monarchy, republic or even feudalism – each of these practice different cultures; they all have to follow certain ethics in order to run the government or the organization in the smoothest way possible. However, leaders nowadays seem to lose touch of the said political ethics.
Ethics, the science of right and wrong or simply a moral philosophy, is a critical element in a governing body. Much more, it is an essential quality that a good leader should have. Nevertheless, amusingly, most of those leaders in the government and/or organizations are the ones being conspicuously hovered with unethical politics. Everyday, one can read in a paper, government official and corporate leaders being sued for corruption, sensitive political issues, bureaucratic negligence and scandals. Oh, yes! They do make it to the front page. Even so, to them, it is more of a political campaign and rather popularity's sake.
Issues on political ethics had long been present in the history of the world. From the time of Plato's "The Republic" – a classical work of political philosophy, Aristotle's "Politics", Ethics of Nichomachean and Cicero's Stoic, Gandhi's idealism, Confucius' teachings, Lincoln's philosophy, Martin Luther King's dream, Hitler's inhumane philosophy, to Hussein's leadership, and now Obama's serenade to the public. All of these are having political conflicts of their own.
Through time, unethical politics had shocked the world. Nixon's resignation on August of 1974 was a desperate attempt to evade the Watergate scandal and was an evidence of dirty politics in the history of America. Even the church has its own glimpse of the controversies whenever its leaders commit unethical doings with respect to the church's teachings.
Now, the concept of morality, equality, liberty and freedom will become just a vague picture in the history of mankind. Conflicts around the world are not being taken into consideration because of the mere fact that even leaders between countries and organizations have personal siege within themselves.
Politics as an art or science of government or the governing of a political entity will now just be a word synonymous with corruption, risk, indignity, immorality, unjust, scandals and those pertaining to the way leaders have shown to the public. Politics is now a means for an end.
However political scientist, philosophers, policy analyst, sociologist, and lawyers will look at it, political ethics are a dying art. Promising politicians and leaders will always be drawn to commit the same mistakes, one way or another, as what their forefather had committed for history will repeat itself.
People can only hope that in the near future, the trend in the political system will be true to its moral. Democracy should only mean "of the people, for the people, and by the people". Republicans and Democrats will unite; the leftist and the government will agree on common goals; and leaders will rudder the entire boat for the greater good and not just for personal gain and convenience.
Politics will always be the guiding force in a nation. The leaders and the officials may have wanted to run a nation or an organization according to their personal judgment, but it is not at all time possible. There are certain ethics in governing a political entity and that bending away from these morals and standards will mean destruction to the leader itself as well as the organization he is handling.
When Barrack Obama won the American presidency in 2008, one of his speeches promised "a new beginning". Will this mean a new era of politics for a just and humane, moral-guided society? Alternatively, will it just be another promissory gone in vain? For all we know, we might wake up one day and politics has become a dead and rotten art already. So help us God.

Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)
New Eyes offers the FDA approved procedure Photorefractive Keratectomy, commonly known as PRK. This procedure utilizes advanced excimer laser technology to reshape the cornea and improve the way the eye focuses light onto the retina without having to create a LASIK flap.
Many people who want to get rid of their glasses and contacts and significantly improve their vision may not be candidates for LASIK. The good news is, there are alternative laser vision correction treatments that can provide excellent results. New Eyes offers the FDA approved procedure Photorefractive Keratectomy, commonly known as PRK. This procedure utilizes advanced excimer laser technology to reshape the cornea and improve the way the eye focuses light onto the retina without having to create a LASIK flap. The benefits of PRK over LASIK include the ability to treat thinner corneas, and no need for creation of a flap. The drawback is a longer recovery time.
PRK: Introduction
Am I a Candidate?
Good candidates for PRK include:
- Patients who are experiencing nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism
- Patients who are 18 or over
- Patients who have no present eye disease
- Patients who wish to significantly reduce, or even eliminate reliance on glasses or contacts
Our refractive eye surgeon, Dr. Ksenia Stafeeva, will meet with you for an initial consultation and eye evaluation to determine if laser vision correction with PRK is the best option for your needs.
The PRK Procedure
The PRK procedure is completely painless. There are no needles or sharp instruments that will be used near the eyes for this procedure. Advanced technology is used to map the eyes to provide the the most precise view of the corneas. With the data provided by our sophisticated mapping technology, our doctors will use a computer-guided laser to reshape the cornea and allow for improved visual acuity. It typically takes less than a minute for the laser to reshape the cornea, and the process is completely painless.
PRK: Overview
PRK Recovery
Patients can expect some blurriness, tearing, and light sensitivity in the first several days after PRK treatment. Dr. Stafeeva will prescribe some eyedrops to help with these symptoms while you recover. Most patients experience a noticeable improvement in vision within one week, with the most optimal results becoming apparent in the ensuing weeks.
PRK: Post Op
PRK Results
Results of PRK treatment equal those of LASIK after appropriate healing time. For many patients, it has served as an excellent alternative to LASIK.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A corneal flap is not created during PRK. How can this be beneficial?
How long does PRK take?
Does this procedure require anesthesia?
When can I resume normal activities after this procedure?
Is this procedure covered by insurance?
What else can I expect in my recovery?
If you would like more information on PRK treatment, or if you would like to schedule a consultation with Dr. Ksenia Stafeeva to see if this procedure is a good option for your needs, please contact New Eyes today.

Radio based apps are very synoptic nowadays. Every app basically provides the same structure, with the only difference being the way your stations are presented. Some apps like to break this trend and make the process more unorthodox — the exact aim of PRX Remix. With this app you have a range of different stories played to you, each with an interesting meaning.
Read on to find out how exciting this little app is!
We inhabit a digital world that is instant, on-demand, and unlimited. It seems strange, then, that a broadcaster-controlled form of media, once the only form of broadcasting available, should still be popular. I'm talking about radio, a method of transmission no longer restricted to airwaves, thanks to broadband and the ease of streaming it provides.
Whatever the reasoning, a large number of us still listen to radio, and we have a massive selection of stations to choose from, including many from across the globe. This is great, but there is one respect in which traditional radio still trumps its modern-day counterpart — convenience. The reality is that it's easier to switch on a radio and flick through the auto-tuned channels than it is to navigate many internet radio apps.
Maybe RadiON can provide an exception to this rule. Though it packs just as many stations as other apps in this genre — "over 50,000" is the claim — RadiON has a vintage-inspired style, as well as various alarm clocks and music collection features, all delivered for the modest price of $0.99. Is this enough to provide internet radio with analogue radio's advantages, though?
As far as I'm concerned, there are too many ways to listen to music these days. Part of the problem is that most of us have way too many devices, and they don't all cooperate. My Apple devices have iTunes, and I love iTunes, but Android obviously doesn't. So while my iTunes library sits at about 10,000 songs, I have zero access to it from my Android devices. [Ed note: unless you use iSyncr to sync files between iTunes and Android.]
My $10/month subscription to Rdio helps assuage some of those concerns. After matching my iTunes collection to what's available on the popular streaming service, it's easy for me to stream almost all of my music to my Nexus 4 or Nexus 7 whenever I need it. Not only that, but I can check out new music without paying extra fees and I can manage my playlists from my mobile devices with ease. Maybe you don't already have an Rdio subscription but your Android phone is your main music device. Is the Android Rdio app worth the subscription fee?
"Radio" to the majority of us seems like an old technology. Nowadays most people only listen to the FM radio occasionally in the car to drain away the mindless hours. And for the younger generation, it is only ever listened to as a last resource after TV, music players and countless other entertainment options.
Admittedly, I don't listen to the radio as much as I should. Radio shows have a lot to offer, and some of them have really enticed and intrigued me in the past, making me wonder about the world and society as we know them. That's why I looked for a encouragement to use it more. So I decided to get Nexus 7 to help me and fortunately, I came across TuneIn Radio, a brilliant Android radio app!
Pocket Casts is a stunningly designed podcasting app available on both Android and iOS. There are quite a number of great podcasting apps out there, as explored in our recent article Forget Google Listen: 10 Great Podcasting Apps. Of these, however, I found that Pocket Casts shone brightly as an app that's not only stuffed full with functionality, but also the most handsome of the bunch.
With these impressive looks and rippling functionality in mind, let's take a closer look at one of the best podcasting apps available.
Live365 is an interesting app that aims to bring you music and talk radio shared by "real people, powered by passion." It sounds like one of these new social music services, but it's a bit more professional than that. In order to broadcast a station on Live365, you have to pay. This takes the service a step above random people playing whatever they want, and brings a more professional selection of stations to listen to.
From the app description:
"Serious satellites and blah-FMs won't play this music. Robot DJ's pandering to the money can't play this music. At Live365, thousands of DJs with something to say or something to play bring it 365 a year."
Let's take a look at how it holds up as an app… (more…)

I've been dealing with twitching for a couple of months now. It all started in one eyelid, then quickly spread to the other and to other parts of my body.
Since it was so frequent and didn't go away, I went to my GP who sent me to the neuro. There I got a clinical, eeg and mri - all clean. She didn't see the need to do an emg so I was not really relieved and set up an appointment at another neuro.
I finally got my emg there but only one muscle (arm) was tested. He told me that there was nothing to worry about.
I was able to manage my symptoms quite well but now I've got an awkward thumb twitch which only happens after I put pressure on it. When I open up a bottle, for instance, it starts twitching (only for a few seconds, but it seems to be out of control). This is getting worse.
I googled again today and found this (warning: if you're scared of ALS don't go there):
http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Fibromyalg ... ow/1541281
Ok, so a twitching thumb is indeed a sign for ALS?
I've got another appointment at the neuro but I still have to wait 3 more weeks. I don't know how I will be able to deal with this for three more weeks though.
Any thoughts?
I got all my tests in feb/march of this year. He didn't test my hand though so I'm very worried that my first actual symptoms are in my hand now.

Update: From December 8, 2015 through January 19, 2016, Qantas will operate daily flights from Dallas (DFW Airport) to Sydney on its Airbus A380 planes. Travelers planning to spend the holidays Downunder will benefit from the additional flight each week.
Qantas recently announced major changes for its flights from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) airport to Sydney, Australia. Good news for travelers flying to Sydney – not so great news for those who used the Dallas to Sydney flights to fly to Brisbane (the first stop in Australia on the current schedule).
Beginning on September 29,2014, Qantas will replace the Boeing 747 aircraft used on this route with the world's largest aircraft, Airbus's A380. The larger A380 has the fuel capacity to fly from Dallas to Sydney without stopping first in Brisbane to refuel.
Shorter travel time on flights from Dallas to Sydney
Consequently, the travel time to Sydney from DFW will be reduced – from 19 hours, 20 minutes including the fuel stop in Brisbane – to 16 hours, 50 minutes. The current flight schedule departs Dallas at 9:55 pm and is scheduled to arrive in Sydney at 8:15 am two days later. With the A380, the flight will depart Dallas at 9:15 pm and arrive in Sydney at 6:05 am.
Qantas' B747 airplanes carry 58 passengers in Business Class, 36 in Premium Economy and 270 in coach class. The interiors of the aircraft used on the Dallas to Sydney flights were upgraded to align with A380 quality – including fully lie-flat seats in Business Class – in Spring 2012.
More passengers – more comfort, too
The soon-to-be employed A380 planes will accommodate 14 passengers in First Class, 64 in Business Class, 35 in Premium Economy and 371 in coach class. With the A380, the flight to Sydney will operate 6 days each week. If you plan to travel on a Tuesday, you'll have to connect to your flight to Sydney in Los Angeles.
This short video shows the cabins in First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy and coach class on Qantas' A380 planes:
Passengers heading for Brisbane in Australia's Sunshine State, will no longer be able to depart on a non-stop flight from DFW. Instead they will have to catch the daily flight from LAX to Brisbane.

Of the jobs reported vacant, 70 percent required a high school diploma or less, while 39 percent of the vacancies required no job experience.
Employers wanted experienced workers in 61 percent of the job vacancies reported.
The median hourly wage decreased by 55 cents when compared to the second quarter 2006 survey results.

$5.15 or less for 3.8 percent of the vacancies
$5.15 - $7.00 for 24.3 percent of the vacancies

$10.01 - $13.00 for 9.6 percent of the vacancies
$13.01 - $16.00 for 6.8 percent of the vacancies

On August 15th I blogged about a horse named Early Hajji whose owner had run into hard times and could no longer keep him. Hajji was a hard to place 23 year old retired racehorse who had been with his owner Amy for the last 13 years. Amy had been trying to locate a suitable home or horse rescue to take Hajji but with no luck due to his age and health issues. A decision had to be made soon as the end of the month was coming way too soon. Amy could take Hajji to an auction or have him euthanized to insure he would never fall into the wrong hands or be mistreated. The heartbreaking decision to euthanize was made and date to say goodbye was set for August 30th.
Remember Me Racehorse Rescue along with folks from the Alex Brown Forum and the Fans of Barbaro went to work trying to help locate a home for Hajji. We desperately searched for rescues in the Houston, Texas area that would be close to his owner and an easy trip for Hajji. A few days before his scheduled appointment to be euthanized a place for Hajji still had not be found.
Amy and Early Hajji had stayed on my mind since first hearing of their story. Dallas and I discussed what we could do for Amy and to save the life of this old racehorse. We decided that if Amy could find a way to get him here and that Hajji could safely make the trip we could keep him in our program until a suitable home could be found.
Hajji is a special needs horse requiring a special diet of Equine Senior and a few supplements. We are looking for a loving home for Hajji with a family that can financially support his needs of about $400 a month for feed, hay and additives. We are also looking for donors to help support him while he is here at Remember Me. If interested in adopting or helping us support Hajji and the other horses in our program please visit our website at http://www.teamkeen.com/ or contact Dallas or Donna Keen through the website for more information.

File:Donato Giancola - J.R.R.Tolkien Portrait.jpg
This portrait represents an idealized version of J.R.R. Tolkien. Tolkien is depicted as he would have looked during the 1950s or 60s, around the time he was writing The Lord of the Rings. According to the artist's description, he is seen inside a Hobbit-hole, its round window with a view to a forested nature outside, identifiable as the Party Field with the Party Tree; he is sitting on a chair bearing the Livery of Elendil; he is smoking a pipe whose smoke transforms into an Eagle, while he is working on some manuscripts and drawings; part of the Doors of Durin can be seen, while the drawing he is holding is identifiable as Bilbo comes to the Huts of the Raft-elves. Some papers are empty, which according to the artist, represent the unfinished Silmarillion.
On his library, early covers of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are visible. On the coffee table there are two cups of tea (or coffee) bearing the emblems of Beren and Luthien suggesting that they belong to himself and his wife, Edith Tolkien. On the far left there is a book on Beowulf.

The MIT Big Data Challenge
Take me to the
CITY OF BOSTON TRANSPORTATION challenge page!
The MIT Big Data Initiative at CSAIL is organizing competitions designed to spur innovation in how we think about and use data to address major societal issues. Big Data promises a better world where data will be used to make better decisions, from how we invest money to how we manage our healthcare to how we educate our children and manage our cities and resources. These changes are enabled by a proliferation of new technologies and tools that have the ability to measure, monitor, record, combine and query all kinds of data about us and the world around us.
Working with our partners, the MIT Big Data Challenge will define real-world challenges in different areas such as transportation, health, finance and education, and make available data sets for the competition. Our goal is to provide the MIT community with new and unique opportunities to show how data can make a difference.
MIT Big Data Challenge: Transportation in the City of Boston
PRIZES: totaling $10K
The first MIT Big Data Challenge launched November 12 2013 in partnership with the City of Boston and co-sponsored by Transportation@MIT focuses on transportation in downtown Boston. The challenge will make available multiple data sets, including transportation data from more than 2.3 million taxi rides, local events, social media and weather records, with the goal of predicting demand for taxis in downtown Boston and creating visualizations that provide new ways to understand public transportation patterns in the city.
The City of Boston is interested in gaining new insights into how people use all modes of transportation travel in and around the downtown Boston area. A critical imperative of Boston's Complete Streets Policy is to move all modes of transportation more efficiently and to use real-time data to facilitate better trip-planning between modes of transportation. With urban congestion on the rise, city planners are looking for ways to improve transportation such as providing people with more options to get from one place to another (walking, biking, driving, or using public transit) and by reducing and more efficiently routing vehicles in the city.
This Data Challenge provides a unique opportunity to analyze City of Boston taxi data and combine multiple data sets including social media, transit ridership, events data and weather data to effectively predict demand and better understand patterns in taxi ridership. We hope this will result in new insights for the City of Boston and the public that will improve transportation in the city (and ability to get a cab when you need one)!

Lovely, Dark and Deep by Amy McNamara totally caught me off guard, you guys. I have seriously heard absolutely nothing about this book. Well, let me tell you: that is a MAJOR FAIL on the part of the blogosphere. This book was out of this world incredible. Run…don't walk…RUN LIKE THE WIND to the nearest bookstore. This story is so worth it.
This will definitely be one of those reviews where I flail around like a lunatic, because YOU GUYS. I can't even. The writing is so good that I was literally rereading paragraphs by the SECOND PAGE because I was so in awe of the words. Mesmerizing and eerie and descriptive and perfect. In fact, here is the first passage I bookmarked, barely three paragraphs in:
I came here because it's pine-dark and the ocean is wild. The kind of quiet-noise you need when there's too much going on in your head. Like the water and the woods are doing all the feeling, and I can hang out, quiet as a headstone, in a between place. A blank I can bear.
Basically, by the end of the first chapter of Lovely, Dark and Deep I was sending prayers up to the Book Gods, asking to just please please let me love the story and the characters even just half as much as the writing. Luckily, I did.
Wren was in a car crash that killed her boyfriend – and affected her in a couple of other ways that aren't revealed until later. She has fallen apart and left her mom and college plans behind to live in Maine with her father, an artist. There she meets Cal, a fellow traveler on the road of my-life-sucks-and-not-even-endless-piles-of-nachos-and-cookie-dough-will-help-me-out-of-this-nightmare. The relationship formed is born more out of intensity and loneliness than any actual romance, but it works for them and I was definitely along for the ride.
Also, I can't even begin to describe to you how in love with the title I am. Lovely, Dark and Deep are easily the three words that describe the story best. Everything about these characters is stark and uncomfortable and sad in this compulsively readable way. I couldn't put the book down. The ending doesn't bring closure or any certainty of the future – but it does leave you with hope that things are looking up for Wren and Cal, and I closed the book feeling 100% satisfied.
To Sum it Up:
- Before I even had a chance to meet the characters, I fell in love with the writing. Gorgeous and lyrical and descriptive and just…everything.
- Wren and Cal, the main characters, definitely pulled me in as well. They both have major issues and an inability to deal with them. I couldn't wait for the moment to come when I would see them finally able to shake off some of what weighed them down.
- This isn't a happy book, but it IS a fabulous one. READ IT. IMMEDIATELY.

Eros and Magic in the Renaissance, Ioan P. Couliano
If you regard yourself as an intellectual magician, you must read this book. That's it in a nutshell.
Couliano's genius lies in the perception of patterns in Renaissance magicians of great importance, such as Ficino and Bruno, and his awareness of the philosophical foundation behind their ideas. Of course, as I've written elsewhere, that foundation is a late Neoplatonism, but Couliano sees more: he identifies that the aim of Renaissance magic was the creation of bonds or chains of Eros. Eros is the principle underlying all magic, and Couliano even expresses it in an equation: Eros = Magic.
Eros isn't just the desire of sexual contact. Couliano doesn't go there, but as Foucault has argued this concept of sexuality is a pretty recent one. No, Eros is desire itself: the desire, specifically, of a person for the phantasm or image that they construct of the desired object. If I'm hungry, I do not desire a sandwich: I desire the phantasm of the sandwich, and once I enjoy the sandwich the bond I've made with the phantasm disappears and the phantasm disintegrates. Magic, then, is manipulating these phantasms.
One of the central technologies that magicians use to manipulate these phantasms is the ars memoria, the art of memory, which had reached a high level of sophistication in the late middle ages, but was all but destroyed by the reformation.
Couliano convincingly argues that, in fact, many of these renaissance techniques have been repurposed, not as a science (take that you "magic is just undiscovered science" folks) but as advertising and propaganda. The renaissance magician believed, as most modern first world people do not, that the screen upon which the phantasms are impressed, the pneuma, was not restricted to humans but to the universe as a whole. Magic is an advertisement to the universe, to create a desire in the universal pneuma to create the phantasm you project, just as an advertisement for a car creates a phantasm that binds you to the car. Of course, the trick is that these chains or bonds aren't simple: in fact, it's often more effective to chain one phantasm to another. You don't sell a car to someone by giving them the phantasm of the car. No, you create the phantasm of the car and chain it to other phantasms they already have: the desire to appear successful, sexy, etc.
Couliano goes so far as to suggest there are two kinds of governments: police states, and magical states. In general, magical states tend to be more "democratic," because the people running them must control the population with images and phantasms, rather than main force. I'm sure this is a dig at his home nation of Romania, perhaps even the insult that got Couliano murdered at the University of Chicago in 1991. I wonder what he'd say about the current state of Romanian politics, and the strong occult elements there.
Couliano is not an easy read. I sat at Borders with a Latin dictionary, a German dictionary, and a lot of caffeine to get through it. You need to have some familiarity with classical Greek philosophy, renaissance history and philosophy, and it doesn't hurt to know your Italian magicians. But the book is also a rewarding delight to read, and I'd have finished it earlier if I hadn't had to write copious notes in the margins.
3 Responses to "Eros and Magic in the Renaissance, Ioan P. Couliano"
You may also find this review (not of Couliano, but instead of a pair of recent books on Hermeticism and its impact) of interest. The first book sounds quite interesting, especially in context of Couliano's direction of thought.
Ioan Couliano was a fascinating personality on his own right. You may read Ted Anton's biography, "Eros, Magic and the Murder of professor Culianu" if you are interested. You may find here much more about Couliano's interaction with Romanian politics of the day.
He was also a good friend of the fantasy writer John Crowley, and you can see his influence in Crowley's books like Aegypt..
His intellectual itinerary was fascinating as well. He became interested in fractals and chaos theory, and wanted to describe religions as formal systems deploying in history. He used for that a combinatorial system quite close to Bruno "memory wheels". Ted Anton summaries it very well by writing :
"He planned to link Bruno's Art of memory with discoveries in Artificial
Intelligence complexity theory, and psychology in an effort to compare the
different ways in which cognition creates the universe".
He never had the time to really mature this project, but you may find a first attempt to use this new kind of methodology partly in his "dictionary of religions" (officially written with Mircea Eliade, but in fact mostly written by Couliano alone), and even more, in his book "the tree of gnosis", which, beyond being an extremely clever book on gnosticism, is in fact especially interesting for the methodology used.
