Reveal These 7 Things about Your Health by Looking at Your Eyes
The way in which the human body functions is really fascinating. It's consisted of more than million different processes we don't even know of or see. And, when there is something wrong, our body has a way of signaling us. Therefore, it's crucial to be able to recognize these symptoms timely and thus, resolve the issue as soon as possible.
One way to do this is to look into your eyes, as they're windows of what's happening inside our bodies. So, if you happen to experience any of the following eye problems, you may have other, more serious health problems. Let's take a look:
- Persistent styes-styes usually appear on the eyes and they're often painful and cause irritation. If they don't go away after a couple days, that is, if they're present for more than three months or so, you may be suffering from sebaceous gland carcinoma-a rare type of cancer which may manifest through recurring styes.
- Loss of eyebrow hair-hair loss can be a result of numerous factors. Nonetheless, if you start losing hair on the outer part of your eyebrow, this may point to problems with the thyroid gland. Therefore, consult your physician as soon as possible.
- Blurred vision-if your vision becomes blurry while you're in front of a computer, this may mean that you have computer vision syndrome. Your eyes are strained because of the lack of contrast on the screen, a consequence of the ongoing staring into the screen while trying to focus.
- Blind spot-if your blind spot has shimmering lights or wavy lines, you might be suffering from migraines. In most of the cases, blind spots occur with some kind of headache.
- Protruding eyes-this is a clear symptom of hyperthyroidism-when the thyroid gland is overactive and produces excessive amount of the thyroid hormone.
- Yellowish eye whites-this is a common symptom of jaundice which usually appears in newborns with immature livers, but it's not non-existent in adults as well. When an adult suffers from jaundice, this might be a sign of gallbladder, bile duct, or liver problems.
- Diabetics with blurry vision-diabetes increases the chances of developing eye problems. The most common problem that diabetics face is diabetic retinopathy-a condition which affects the circulatory system of the eyes. A lot of Americans have these condition and it's one of the leading causes for blindness in America.
The way in which the human body functions is really fascinating. It's consisted of more than million different processes we don't even know of or see. And, when there is something wrong, our body has a way of signaling us. Therefore, it's crucial to be able to recognize these...David Ger[email protected]EditorThe Health Guide

Blackburn have parted ways with Portuguese veteran Nuno Gomes by mutual consent.
The 36-year-old striker joined Rovers on a two-year deal from Braga last summer but found first-team opportunities hard to come by last season, making just eight league starts amid a total of 20 appearances which brought four goals.
And with boss Gary Bowyer unable to guarantee Gomes more playing time next term, the two parties have agreed to go their separate ways.
"Nuno is a model professional, who has been a fantastic influence on the younger players at the club and has been a pleasure to work with," Bowyer told the club's official website.
"I fully understand that at this stage in his career he wants to play regular football, but unfortunately I can't give him those guarantees.
"I spoke to Nuno about the situation and we have agreed to terminate his contract so that he is free to source other options in order to prolong what has been a long and distinguished playing career. I thank him for his dedicated services and wish him all the best in the future."
Gomes' four goals came in successive matches within his first six games for the club at the start of last term having been signed by Steve Kean.
Yet Kean's departure last September saw opportunities dry up for the former Portugal international under subsequent managers Henning Berg, Michael Appleton and Bowyer.
Gomes said: "Playing for this historic club has been an absolute pleasure. Despite only being here for a year, I have enjoyed my time here immensely.
"I want to say a big thank you to Gary, the staff, the players and, most importantly, the fans for making me feel so welcome. I will look out for Blackburn's results and I hope they can achieve their goal of getting back into the Premier League."

Last Saturday was the celebration of the 100th anniversary of The East Washington Street branch of the Indianapolis Public Library (the library located just south of Englewood Christian Church).
One of the treats of this celebration was a brief talk by renowned Indiana author Scott Russell Sanders on the importance of public libraries for common good. Scott's most recent book A Conservationist Manifesto was selected as a 2009 Englewood Honor Book, as one of the best books of that year (Read our review here). He also has a large retrospective collection of his essays (that includes nine previously unpublished pieces) entitled Earth Works that will be released by Indiana University Press in early 2012 (and is available for pre-order).

Colorado Vehicle Wraps, Banner Printing, Website Design, and More!
Colorado is a U.S. state that encompasses much of the Rocky Mountains as well as the northeastern portion of the Colorado Plateau and the western edge of the Great Plains. Colorado is part of the Western United States and the Mountain States.
Colorado is bordered by the northwest state of Wyoming to the north, the midwest states of Nebraska and Kansas to the northeast and east, on the south by New Mexico and a small portion of the southern state of Oklahoma, and on the west by Utah. The four states of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah meet at one common point known as the Four Corners, which is known as the heart of the American Southwest. Colorado is one of only three U.S. states with no natural borders, the others being neighboring Wyoming and Utah.
Colorado is noted for its vivid landscape of mountains, forests, high plains, mesas, canyons, plateaus, rivers, and desert lands. The 2010 United States Census tallied the state population at 5,029,196 as of April 1, 2010, an increase of 16.92% since the 2000 United States Census. Denver is the capital and the most populous city of Colorado. Residents of the state are properly known as "Coloradans", although the archaic term "Coloradoan" is still used.
CNBC's list of "Top States for Business for 2010" has recognized Colorado as the third best state in the nation, falling short to only Texas and Virginia.
The federal government is also a major economic force in the state with many important federal facilities including NORAD, United States Air Force Academy and Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs; NOAA and the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder; U.S. Geological Survey and other government agencies at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood; the Denver Mint, Buckley Air Force Base, and 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver; and a federal Supermax Prison and other federal prisons near Cañon City. In addition to these and other federal agencies, Colorado has abundant National Forest land and four National Parks that contribute to federal ownership of 24,615,788 acres (99,617 km2) of land in Colorado, or 37% of the total area of the state. In the second half of the 20th century, the industrial and service sectors have expanded greatly. The state's economy is diversified and is notable for its concentration of scientific research and high-technology industries. Other industries include food processing, transportation equipment, machinery, chemical products, the extraction of metals such as gold (see Gold mining in Colorado), silver, and molybdenum. Colorado now also has the largest annual production of beer of any state. Denver is an important financial center.
A number of nationally known brand names have originated in Colorado factories and laboratories. From Denver came the forerunner of telecommunications giant Qwest in 1879, Samsonite luggage in 1910, Gates belts and hoses in 1911, and Russell Stover Candies in 1923. Kuner canned vegetables began in Brighton in 1864. From Golden came Coors beer in 1873, CoorsTek industrial ceramics in 1920, and Jolly Rancher candy in 1949. CF&I railroad rails, wire, nails and pipe debuted in Pueblo in 1892. Holly Sugar was first milled from beets in Holly in 1905, and later moved its headquarters to Colorado Springs. The present-day Swift packed meat of Greeley evolved from Monfort of Colorado, Inc., established in 1930. Estes model rockets were launched in Penrose in 1958. Fort Collins has been the home of Woodward Governor Company's motor controllers (governors) since 1870, and Waterpik dental water jets and showerheads since 1962. Celestial Seasonings herbal teas have been made in Boulder since 1969. Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory made its first candy in Durango in 1981.
Colorado has a flat 4.63% income tax, regardless of income level. Unlike most states, which calculate taxes based on federal adjusted gross income, Colorado taxes are based on taxable income – income after federal exemptions and federal itemized (or standard) deductions. Colorado's state sales tax is 2.9% on retail sales. When state revenues exceed state constitutional limits, full-year Colorado residents can claim a sales tax refund on their individual state income tax return. Many counties and cities charge their own rates in addition to the base state rate. There are also certain county and special district taxes that may apply.
Real estate and personal business property are taxable in Colorado. The state's senior property tax exemption was temporarily suspended by the Colorado Legislature in 2003. The tax break is scheduled to return for assessment year 2006, payable in 2007.
Given a 250 mile radius around the city, Denver is aeronautically equidistant between the global city of Los Angeles and the midwest metropolis of Chicago. Simultaneously, Denver is aeronautically equidistant between high-tech Seattle and jazzy New Orleans. Consequently, Denver's economy (Denver is the Rocky Mountain region's preeminent city), is based largely on its geographic position. Denver is the prominent city within 600 miles (the closest city of comparable size is Phoenix, Arizona), and Denver is fast becoming the strategic location for federal, high-tech, educational, commercial, financial, cultural, tourist, storage, and distribution services to the Rocky Mountain States. The city is also home to several large corporations in the central United States. The economic diversity at the city, state, regional, national, federal, and international level allows the state of Colorado to weather economic cycles soundly.
Colorado Vehicle Wraps
Vehicle wraps are one of the most exciting new forms of advertising. Wraps are eye-catching and always get noticed. In the vehicle graphics world they stand out from the crowd of die cut graphics that can look boring by comparison. If you use a work van or delivery vehicle a wrap is a no brainier. When you driving through your targeted markets and neighborhoods why not be advertising? Turn your car, van, truck or SUV into a rolling billboard advertising your products or services. As a contractor think of the benefits of a simple plastic sign at the end of your customer's driveway. Your vehicle wrap will go miles farther to capture the attention of the entire neighborhood!

Design is one of the most important aspects of the car wrap process. Having a bold, clean and pleasing design is vital to catch people's attention and make them interested in your company. Creating graphics for vehicle wraps and car graphics is one of the most challenging projects there is for a designer. A vehicle isn't flat like a sign or banner and there are hundreds of different vehicles on the road.

With Flash Forward Media we have the expertise to produce a vehicle wrap and car graphics design that you will get excited about. Your advertising message will be bold and clear, and the placement of all graphic elements will be correct.
Vehicle Wrap Printing in Colorado
Your vehicle wrap's quality is very dependent on the type of material, the print solvent, and lamination. Cutting corners with cheap material, low-grade print solvents and a lack of lamination are common ways for graphics companies to maximize their own profits at the cost of quality. Some print shops do not understand the differences between printing a simple wall mural and printing a vehicle wrap. Lack of quality control is also a common complaint among franchised print shops that primarily work on signs and stationery. Flash Forward Media has many years of production and print experience specifically with vehicle, bus and boat wraps. We never cut corners with the quality of our product and stand behind our wraps and graphics. You can be confident that when you choose FFM every panel for every project will come out perfect.

National Leader of Azerbaijan
Mugham (Muğam) is a highly complex art form that weds classical poetry and musical improvisation in specific local modes. Unlike Western modes, Mugham modes are associated not only with scales but with an orally transmitted collection of melodies and melodic fragments that performers use in the course of improvisation. The choice of a particular Mugham and a style of performance fits a specific event. In contrast to the Mugham traditions of Central Asian countries, Azerbaijani Mugham is more free-form and less rigid; it is often compared to the improvised field of jazz. The regions of Qarabağ, Şirvan, and Bakı have traditionally represented the three major schools of Mugham performance. The town of Şuşa (Qarabağ) was particularly renowned for this art.
A record of Azerbaijani Mugham played in balaban, national wind instrument, was included by NASA in 1977 aboard the Voyager spacecraft as part of a small collection of musical compositions representing the Earth's musical heritage. Acknowledging the authenticity, richness and cultural significance of Azerbaijani Mugham for both national and global culture, UNESCO recognized it in 2003 as a "Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity". Azerbaijani Mugham singer Alim Qasimov is revered world-wide. The New York Times music review presented him as "one of the greatest singers alive, with a searing spontaneity that conjures passion and devotion, contemplation and incantation". The New York Times: "Alim Qasimov is one of the greatest singers alive, with a searing spontaneity that conjures passion and devotion, contemplation and incantation."
The composition of classical music is also based on the old folk art traditions. One of the best-known representatives of Azerbaijani classical music is Uzeyir Hajibeyli. Born in 1885 in Qarabağ, this composer, musicologist, journalist and playwright is rightfully regarded as the founder of modern Azerbaijani music, the national opera and musical comedy. His best known Broadway-style musical comedy, Arşın Mal Alan (The Cloth Peddler), was first performed in 1913 and subsequently conquered the stages of the world. To date it has been performed in various languages in more than 70 countries. In 1908 Hajibeyli composed the Muslim world's first opera based on the love story "Leyli and Majnun" by Azerbaijani poet Fuzuli.
In the 1920s and 1930s Hajibeyli established Azerbaijan's first Academy of Music, became the director of the Conservatory and in1931 also founded the country's first Folk Music Ensemble to play using written musical notes and for which he also composed. Uzeyir Hajibeyli's 100th birthday was solemnly commemorated by UNESCO in 1985, which attested to the importance attached to his name in the annals of world music.
Hajibeyli served as inspiration for a number of other Azerbaijani composers, including, among others, Gara Garayev, Fikret Amirov, Niyazi, Said Rustamov, Jahangir Jahangirov and Arif Melikov.
Gara Garayev's ballets - The Seven Beauties and The Path of Thunder - have been a success both in Azerbaijan and abroad. The composer's symphonic works are also widely known.
Fikret Amirov chose a different type of music — symphonic Mughams. His symphonic Mughams were not confined to the Soviet Union and were played by some of the largest symphony orchestras in the world, for example, the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra conducted by Leopold Stokowski, but also in Berlin, Boston, New York and London.
Azerbaijan's ballet tradition commenced in 1940 with "Gyz Galasy" by Afrasiyyab Badalbayli, who dedicated his work to the legend of the famous Maiden Tower in Bakı. This ballet was the first ballet in the Muslim world. The genre was continued by composers Soltan Hajibeyov ("Gulshan" - 1950), Gara Garayev ("The Seven Beauties" – 1952 and "The Path of Thunder" - 1958), Fikret Amirov ("Nizami" – 1947 and "Thousand and one Nights" - 1979), Arif Melikov ("Legend of Love" – 1961), Faraj Garayev ("Shadows of Qobustan" - 1969), Agshin Alizade ("Babek"-1979) and others.
Azerbaijani jazz developed from a fusion of traditional Mugham with jazz. This created a special form of jazz using traditional Azerbaijani instruments. In 1938, Niyazi and Tofig Guliyev created a State Pop Orchestra, which was known as "State Jazz" - the first jazz band in Bakı. The State Jazz performed both classic jazz and improvisations on Mugham. However, from 1945 to 1953, jazz in the Soviet Union faced prohibition and censorship. Despite these prohibitions, by the 1950s, a new jazz movement began to emerge in Azerbaijan which came to be known as "Jazz Mugham". Jazz musicians from many Soviet cities, looking for a safe harbour, gradually gathered in Bakı. After Stalin's death in 1953, the ban on jazz was gradually lifted. The Azerbaijani jazz music was boosted by such composers as Gara Garayev, Rauf Hajiyev, Rafig Babayev and Vagif Mustafazade.
Vagif Mustafazade made a great contribution to the development of Azerbaijani jazz. In 1966, Voice of America's famous jazz producer and broadcaster Willis Conover said: "Vagif Mustafazadeh is an extraordinary pianist. It is impossible to identify his equal. He is the most lyrical pianist I have ever known." Famous American jazz pianist and master of blues B.B.King once said: "Mr. Mustafazade, they call me the 'King of the Blues,' but I sure wish I could play the blues as well as you do." Mustafazade was the founder and the leader of jazz ensembles "Sevil" and "Mugam". In 1978, he won the first place at the 8th International Competition of Jazz Composers for his composition "Waiting for Aziza" in Monaco, and was awarded with white grand piano.
Vagif Mustafazade's daughter Aziza Mustafa Zadeh, who resides in Germany, is one of the best-known Azerbaijani jazz musicians. The musical style developed by Aziza is a mixture of jazz and scat singing with elements of classical piano music and Mugham. Among other modern famed jazz musicians are Isfar Sarabski, Salman Gambarov, Shahin Novrasli and Rain Sultanov. In 2009, Isfar Sarabski won the first place at the 43rd Montreux Jazz Festival.
The art of the ashiqs, or bardic folksingers, holds an important place in the Azerbaijan's musical culture. Popular with both young and old, their songs are characterized both by harmony and by the opportunity for musical improvisation. The ashiqs combine the talents of a composer with those of a singer and a storyteller. Characterized by the accompaniment of the saz, the Azerbaijani national plucked stringed instrument, the classical repertoire includes 200 songs, 150 literary-musical compositions known as dastans, nearly 2,000 poems in different traditional poetic forms and numerous stories.
Since 2009 the art of Azerbaijani Ashiqs has been included in the UNESCO's List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
In May 2011, Azerbaijan won the Eurovision Song Contest, which remains the world's biggest music competition and most watched non-sporting event. Azerbaijan took the top honors with a love song in the competition of 43 countries that took place in the German city of Dusseldorf on May 14, and was watched by an audience of more than 120 million people in 55 countries.
The song "Running Scared" about a love-struck couple was performed by Nigar Jamal, 30, a mother-of-two, and 21-year-old student Eldar Gasimov. The duo, known as Ell & Nikki, beat 24 other finalists winning a total 221 points. In accordance with the contest's rules, the following year's Eurovision was hosted in May 2012 in Bakı, Azerbaijan.
It took Azerbaijan only four years to win the contest. In 2008, Azerbaijan debuted with a duo of Elnur and Samir who sang a rock song "Day After Day" taking the 8th place. In 2009, a duo of Aysel and Arash "Always" earned Azerbaijan the 3rd place. Safura, as a single warrior, with her excellent voice and song "Drip Drop", took the 5th place in 2010.
Major U.S. media outlets reported about Azerbaijan's Eurovision victory with excitement. CNN said: "Azerbaijan won the competition, with a sweet pop song that Europe slowly fell in love with during the course of the contest." Wall Street Journal wrote: "It is certainly exciting to see a secular democracy that borders Iran and has a Shiite Muslim majority population embracing the European ideal as posited by Eurovision." Time Magazine: "European voters bypassed all the celebrity hype in favor of Ell & Nikki."
The opening of the Consulate General of the Republic of Azerbaijan to Los Angeles and Western States was a significant milestone in the rapidly developing bilateral ties between the United States and Azerbaijan.read more...

Abstract—Multimedia databases get larger and larger in our days. There are various aspects that affect the demand for efficient database techniques to manage the flood of multimedia data, namely the increasing number of objects, the increasing complexity of objects. Whereas traditional indexing structures cope with large numbers of simple objects, complex multimedia objects require more sophisticated indexing techniques. In this paper we discuss the current state-of-the-art of various indexing technique as seen from content-based image retrieval point of view and proposed a novel approach named Hierarchical Hash Grid Indexing structure which has excellent performance and capable of handling huge number of images with less response time.

I live in Riverside, but can travel to where there's good bluegrass. I've played, both back East and in California, for the past 38 years.
My instruments are mandolin, guitar, and bass. I sing lead, tenor, and baritone, and write original bluegrass material (samples on: http//www.jarflymusic.com).I am an advanced player, and presently work as a single and a sideman for Jodi Swan (country music singer), but am interested in forming a duo or trio for paid work at regional venues.

An Ember in the Ashes
Goodreads Summary:
ELIAS is the academy's finest soldier—and secretly, its most unwilling. Elias is considering deserting the military, but before he can, he's ordered to participate in a ruthless contest to choose the next Martial emperor.
When Laia and Elias's paths cross at the academy, they find that their destinies are more intertwined than either could have imagined and that their choices will change the future of the empire itself.
My Review 3/5 Stars
I didn't know ANYTHING about this book going in other than it was a fantasy. I prefer, if possible, going into most books blind. I really only want to know what genre a book is in and if it's AMAZING!
This book is a bit of a mix for me. I actually struggled through the first 200 pages and did contemplate DNFing it. BUT I haven't heard or read a single negative review about this book so I knew that I needed to keep with it because it must be good.
The first 200 pages I found interesting…but only OK. After that the book definitely started turning more intense and I actually started liking and caring for the characters.
The world building was very interesting in this book with the Martials who now rule over the Empire.
The Characters:
I hate spoiling or giving away too much plot but let's just say that the characters all around from main characters to side characters show a lot of growth over this book. The side characters are super rich in their detail and I always love it when all the characters are worth knowing and get to shine on their own.
Overall, I never truly connected with the characters deeply. I liked them all…but I can't say I love them, yet anyways.
I've come to terms with the fact that books need to have romance in order for me to really get excited about it. This didn't seem to happen for a while in the book but eventually showed up which made me quite happy. HOWEVER…I am a bit disappointed in the romance overall. There is a love triangle happening and one of the characters I just don't get why there is chemistry between them, since they really don't even know each other or spend much time together. It felt forced and unnecessary to the book.
Bottom Line:
Sadly, for me, this just hit LIKE but didn't hit LOVE. I do think I'll read the sequel if it gets written but I wasn't in love with this book as much as I wanted to be. Things felt forced and I never really connected with the characters. It was really good, but just not for me.

Screen Save of pertinent section from this letter.
Click Here To Read The Full Letter
In response we state that FCC regulations do not protect the public.
Why is MCPS hanging onto outdated regulations?
Why is MCPS statin that FCC limits are "safe" when there is no proof of safety and countless organizations state concerns about these limits?
See this excerpt from Comments by Scientists to the State of Maryland:
"As the US EPA has detailed, FCC regulations were set intending to protect from thermal effects only and not intending to protect from non-thermal effects from long-term chronic exposures. Since, the World Health Organization's International Agency for the Research on Cancer classified radiofrequency radiation as a Class 2 B Carcinogen in 2011, evidence has significantly increased that long-term radiofrequency radiation exposure causes cancer. It has been scientifically demonstrated that adverse biological effects can occur at non-thermal levels of radiofrequency fields. A recent animal study performed by the National Toxicology Program in the United States found an increased incidence of cancer and increased DNA damage in rats with prolonged exposure to radiofrequency fields that were too weak to increase temperature. Importantly, these adverse effects (and other effects now well documented in scientific literature) occurred at levels below those that cause "thermal" injury, contrary to what had long been espoused by the FCC. Therefore, FCC regulations do not provide adequate protection for children as the regulations do not account for biological effects at these non-thermal levels.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has long called on the federal government to inform the public and to strengthen FCC limits because children are more vulnerable to radiofrequency radiation exposures due to their unique anatomy and physiology, and rapid development. Considering that children will have a lifetime of exposure, it is critically important to reduce childhood RF exposures in schools and homes and equally important to address the myriad of ways children are exposed be it from Wi-Fi, tablets and/or cell phones."

A very
strong overall team performance secured this victory for the 'Boro at a
sunny Nowlan Pk today. This is our second win in a row
at this grade and is the culmination of all the fantastic work being done by all the mentors that have brought these young hurlers to this stage.
Kilmacow started this final very sprightly with points from Josh Tobin and Shay Dempsey but when the 'Boro were awarded a 21 yard
free which was converted by Cillian Buckley, it provided the the spark that was required to drive on with a further three points, from
Ollie Walsh, Cillian Buckley(f) and Shane Clohessy.
A pointed free from Kilmacow's Johnny Hayes was quickly cancelled out by a point from Ollie walsh which followed a verg good passing movement from the half back line. Ollie also scored the next 'Boro point from play which he took from the New Stand side at a very
acute angle and he followed this up with a point from a free. A final point by Cillian Buckley from a 65 ended the 'Boro's scoring in the
first half which ended Dicksboro 0-8 Kilmacow 0-5. Three of Kilmacow's points came from a placed ball which only goes to prove how strongly the back lines, comprising of Evan Cody, Mikey Hayes, Conor Maharaj, Eoin Gough, Gary Gaule and Rory Glynn were performing.
Aidan Nolan scored the first point of the second half for the 'Boro but this was soon followed by a well taken goal by Josh Tobin who
rifled the sliothar to the top corner of the 'Boro net giving Aaron Duggan no chance. The pace of the game was now stepping up and following a great passage of play Aidan Nolan had a goal chance saved but Darragh Buggy was on hand to put the ball over the bar from
the resultant breaking ball. Darragh also added another point from play and it was from this point on that the 'Boro dominated the game. Aidan Nolan,who was threatening the goal all day was rewarded by scoring a fine goal following a low delivery from Ollie Walsh.
With the game entering the last ten minutes, Kilmacow were behind by 1-14 to 1-7 and so when they were awarded a 21 yard free there
was no option but to go for goal and Johnny Hayes obliged, giving their followers some hope.
Dicksboro, driven on by a fantastic midfield of Eoin Fennelly and Cillian Buckley replied with three points of their own to put this game beyond the reach of Kilmacow.
Final score: Dicksboro1-18 Kilmacow 2-7
Panel: Aaron Duggan, Evan Cody(JJ Hickey Inj) Mikey Hayes, Conor Maharaj, Eoin Gough, Gary Gaule, Rory Glynn, Eoin Fennelly,
Cillian Buckley, Darragh Buggy, Ollie Walsh, Peter Turley, Aidan Nolan, Evan Guilfoyle, Shane Clohessy, Darragh Holohan, Ruairi Morrissey, Robbie Fitzpatrick, Eoin Cantewell, Kevin Kenny, Mason Clifford, James Gittens, Stephen Tynan, Aaron McDonald,
Matthew Nolan, Stephen Farrell, Gerry Walsh, Luke O'Hara, Joe Bollard, Sean Scott, James Murphy, Daniel Farrell, Enda O'Donoghue,
Gary Lynch, Shane O'Brien.
On Friday 10th September 2010, Dicksboro GAA club was very proud to host a reception for the victorious Kilkenny All Ireland Minor hurling team. Captain of the team was our own club man, Cillian Buckley who is now only the second Dicksboro man to captain an All Ireland winning team, Dan O'Neill being the first. Our own Ollie Walsh and Gary Gaule who were also part of the team made a huge contribution to bringing back this silverware to Kilkenny. All three young men have brought great honour to the club and no doubt this will continue for many years to come.

You are here: Home » Elections , News in the Dump , recent » MyQueenstown Votes #6 - Only a Fool Believes HDB Flats are Affordable!
Examples of High Prices of HDB flats
The latest BTO flat introduced in Dawson, Queenstown, costs $550,000 between $650,000 for a five-room flat. This translates to 33 years of housing loan and the couple is required to pay slightly more than $2,100 each month. (Figures quoted from the resident).
For another couple who preferred to stay close to their ill and aged parents in Mei Ling Street, they had originally intended to purchase a BTO flat. Since they earned slightly above $8,000, which was the threshold limit to own a BTO flat, they had to go into the resale market. However, they were deterred by the fact that a 4-room flat in Mei Ling cost nearly $650,000 in the resale market. They had initially wanted their children to stay with their aged grandmother who was terminally ill. Unfortunately, their mother (their children's grandma) had passed away last year.
HDB - A near-complete failure in today's perspective
Flats from the Housing and Development Board are built to serve the national building purposes. First, it aims to bring Singaporeans together, regardless of race and religion. Second, it aims to allow Singaporeans to "purchase a stake in the country." Third, it aims to give Singaporeans a "shelter" so that they will always have a place to call "home." Fourth, it aims to motivate Singaporeans to seek for a regular employment to pay the housing loan.
For many Singaporeans, owning a HDB flat equates to fulfilling the "Singapore Dream." What is more important than providing shelter and a home for your loved ones?
However, policies changes in the past few years resulting in escalating home prices have gone against these original intentions. Housing loans in the past could have been repaid within 10 to 15 years. In search for a better living condition, Singaporeans will aim for a bigger and better flat or a private apartment. This "dream has been shattered" because Singaporeans have to "pay and pay" to their deathbed for a "smaller and smaller" apartment flat.
HDB had failed terribly in serving the national building purpose in these areas.
1) The introduction of "privacy" blocks reduce interactions among neighbours, defeating the purpose of point 1.
2) The escalating housing prices have created a notion that "only the rich and educated" can afford HDB flats although generous grants were given to the poor
3) Escalating housing prices will become Singapore's "Time-bomb" one day when the children needs to assist their parents in paying off their housing loan mortgages. Remember Japan in the 1990s? Remember Hong Kong in the late 1990s?
Plain excuses to divert attention of the REAL ISSUE
Seriously, our efficient government has ensured that billions are be earned from the investments in overseas to cover the reduction in land prices for HDB flats. It is a national joke to see that this "stupid" leader was trying to claim that a deliberate reduction in prices of land is equivalent to "robbing the national reserves" when the ruling party had engaged in numerous flawed investments during the financial crisis.
Whether the measures offered by the alternative group of representatives are effective or not, it must be clear that the issues of "robbing national reserves by reducing land prices," "upgrading" and "ensuring that home prices will continue to appreciate" are not as significant as the "affordability of public housing."
In short, who cares about national reserves, upgrading and whether home prices will appreciate if they can't even afford a HDB flat?
This just shows how disconnected is this leader from reality.

It is also shame to tear down perfectly good housing to make way for the new ones. These new BTO high rise HDB flats will surely be priced out of reach for young Singaporean, and what happens is yes, we'll still have ethic integration policy, but these flats will ONLY be affordable to new citizens i.e. newly converted Singapore Citizen, richer (income ceiling equal or close to $8,000) older, ex-citizens from China, India. True blue young Singaporean will not be able to enjoy living in a place in Queenstown anymore.

HDB flat prices has inflated >90% within 5 years! a 5-rm unit that was $365k in '06 can now fetch at least $600+k. how is it justifiable to peg public housing with market price except being monetary-driven?
That minister's only concern is whether he is bringing in enough money for his organization. No wonder he has no qualms when making lame remarks at opposition's suggestions.
To add salt to wounds - look at the materials, workmanship and layout of the new flats, we are paying so much for so little quality.
A 4-rm flat, at Forfar Height as pictured, is valued by HDB itself(not even with COV) at $640K, selling at $740k (with $100 COV). This is outrageous. How could young Singaporean afford to live with their parents at QT? Would the CPF 1st time grand/near parents of $40K even help?
These are all SNAPPED UP by rich PRs in a day. How could the new HDB flats be much lower, since this is market price?
Be it cheap or expensive. All residents here would want their neighbourhood to be nice and clean.
Recently, there has been a lot of dog poo along Mei Ling Street especially the stretch of pavement and roadside near block 156 and 160. The owner is really irresponsible and should be punished. But I am not sure what we can do to catch or report him/her.
If the MP sees this, please do something about it.

Paper lanterns connote festivities and celebrations. They are joyful sights which bring an air of good cheer. Their gaiety are often employed in parties, businesses, and even at home.
These paper lanterns come in various shapes, colors, and sizes and are a sure way to command people's attention to any home, establishment, or event venue.
Traditional Japanese Hanging Paper Lanterns are hexagonal and are used during festivals. The Japanese also treat their lantern tradition exceptionally, which is proven by chochinmoji, a special writing style created exclusively for writing on lanterns. In China, there are a few types of lanterns with which the Chinese people have showcased their artistry.
There are those which are shaped like dragons and other figures, lanterns with riddles printed on their sides, and lanterns with pinpricked sides for intricately artistic effect. But perhaps the most well-liked type of all Chinese lanterns is the Beijing style lantern. These hanging paper lanterns are created with steel frames, red covering, and gold tassels. These have become popular because people, especially the Chinese, believed these lanterns grant wishes.
Now, paper lanterns are used in a variety of ways. The availability of lanterns have been exploited by homemakers, decorators and event planners alike to boost the aesthetic value of their homes, businesses or venues.
Paper lanterns hanging in the front of an establishment to attract customers is one of the oldest practical uses of lanterns. Now, you cannot only display lanterns outside your business, but you can decorate the interior with them as well. Many businesses, especially restaurants, cafes and other food-related business buildings have incorporated the use of paper lanterns to liven up their place. Homemakers also opt to use paper lanterns for their homes and gardens. Hanging paper lanterns over your garden can light it up, giving it a solemn or festive air – depending on the colors that are used. Paper lanterns are also a popular choice among those who want to have something new for their events, be it a wedding, a birthday, or a school reunion.
You can look for hanging paper lanterns online or you can visit the nearest crafts shop. They are usually sold by piece and by string (a group of lanterns hung from a cord, looking much like Christmas lights). They are lit in different ways so be sure to pick one that suits your purpose. There are those with bulbs that are lit through an electrical light kit, double and multi socket light kit, and there are those which are powered by batteries. There is a very wide variety of colors to choose from, so you will be sure to find the one you fancy. Some stores would even personalize lanterns by printing an image of your choice on the paper. These lanterns come in all sizes as well, so you can pick properly and won't end up with lanterns too big or too small for your project.
But if you are on the artsy side and want to make your own paper lanterns, you can search the internet for instructions. There are a number of craft-it-yourself websites which provide information on how to make lanterns from simple cutout ones to more complex ones which need wires and electrical cords. You can make the traditional round paper lanterns or experiment with other shapes by using molds. The directions usually need paper (simple lanterns need any sturdy craft paper, while rice paper is needed if you want to stick to the traditional lantern look), glue, and others materials. However, making paper lanterns can be complicated especially the part of connecting it to a source of electricity.

New Scale Could Help Save Critically Endangered Species
Tigers, according to a new scale, should be a top priority for conservationists. Photo credit: law_keven/Creative Commons
The IUCN has established a set of categories to guide international conservation efforts. Though the scale ranges from "least concern" to "extinct" the important categories are "vulnerable," "endangered," and "critically endangered." These labels are granted based on population studies and help to prioritize species that most urgently need help.
The only problem with the IUCN Red List is that it does not offer guidance within categories. Now, a new scale developed by researchers at the University of Adelaide and James Cook University, has revealed that the range within "critically endangered" is just as significant as its proximity to neighboring Red List categories.Called SAFE (Species Ability to Forestall Extinction), the new systems builds on previous studies and creates a ranking by comparing a specie's current population to the minimum number required for survival. The greater the difference between these two numbers, the more dire the situation.
Corey Bradshaw, one of the study's co-authors, explained:
The idea is fairly simple—it's the distance a population is (in terms of abundance) from its minimum viable population size. While we provide a formula for working this out, it's more than just a formula—we've shown that SAFE is the best predictor yet of the vulnerability of mammal species to extinction.
SAFE is intended to be a supplement to the IUCN Red List, not a replacement.
"Our index shows that not all Critically Endangered species are equal," Bradshaw says, "a combined approach—using the IUCN Red List threat categories together with the SAFE index—is more informative than the IUCN categories alone, and provides a good method for gauging the relative 'safety' of a species from extinction."
The index also helps in conservation triage situations, deciding where limited resources can do the most good and when a species has past the tipping point.

Can the 1,340bhp Nio EP9 steal McLaren's 'Ring lap record?
TG chats to NextEV's Ring lap driver Peter Dumbreck about one-upping the P1 LM
It probably hasn't escaped your attention that the Nürburgring production car lap record battle has gone utterly insane in 2017. After Lamborghini stunned us all with a 6min 52.01sec lap in March, we assumed it'd go quiet, but Chinese start-up NextEV's Nio EP9 managed to beat its 7min 5sec personal best with a 6min 45.9sec run last month, only to have its title snatched away by Kenny Brack's 6min 43.2sec effort in the McLaren P1 LM. Where will it end?
Amidst the furor of times, tyres, and what exactly constitutes a 'production car', TG.com spoke to NextEV hotshoe, former Le Mans and DTM racer and extremely modest and good egg Peter Dumbreck about his 'Ring exploits. Could the electric newcomer fight back? Oh yes, as it turns out…
TopGear.com: Peter, how the merry flip did you take an already blistering 7min 5sec lap down to a 6min 45sec record? Has the latest Nio EP9 got new motors? More power?
Peter Dumbreck: "The motors are the same [as the ones used when the Nio EP9 did a 7min 5sec lap], but I wasn't getting one megawatt of power (1,340bhp) for the full lap. We have to think about how long the lap is, how long the battery will last, and what my top speed will be. A combustion engine burns a lot of fuel at top speed, likewise, it 'burns' a lot of batteries pushing a car through the air. So they can't let me have full power, because it'd burn the batteries out so quickly.
"They optimise the power I get for the full lap, and how quickly the batteries will heat up. Once we reach a certain temperature, we're doing damage to the batteries. I was getting somewhere around 700bhp. We're on specific NextEV tyres to withstand the weight and G-force, but aerodynamically, the car is the same as it was before."
TG: So same car, same driver, same track – why twenty seconds quicker?
PD: "One of the big things was I had more time in the car. When you've got an electric car and that kind of power, we do one lap on one charge. Seven minutes in the car. You can't run lap after lap after lap getting quicker and quicker. I start around the corner, having gone the wrong way down the track, line the car up, then say, 'get ready here I come'. I have to push right from the start. I've still only done eight laps of the Nürburgring in this car, across three separate days. And the second day I only got one lap because it was soaking wet.
"If you look at the Porsche 918 [6min 57sec], they ran day after day after day, whittling the time down, but we had to get it right [straight away]. The homework was done at the factory, we did two days testing in good weather, and the pressure was on. I was thinking 'I'll do what I can', but it quickly became apparent that the outright record was on. On lap one I took four seconds off my previous record, after lap two I took another seven seconds off it, and then I took nine seconds off it, and that was me giving it everything, throwing caution to the wind.
"You can never drive the Nordschleife at 100 per cent because if you make one small mistake, you're in the barrier. The car's very stiff – that's why there's so much steering wheel movement in the on-board – so you've got to push it beyond comfort-level to get the lap time. And I'm really happy and proud that I got the time after all the team were relying on me…"
TG: How does driving an electric car with no transmission or engine revs affect your driving?
PD: "The basics are the same – racing line and what have you, but I have to adapt my style. In some places it's way faster than a GT3 car, but in others it's so stiff I can't carry the same sort of speed out of corners. The strangest thing is having no engine braking or downshifting – it's all done with my right foot. I hammer into corners, slam on the brakes, and it locks up a little bit – we're not running ABS and traction control – so I'm basically driving as you would a bog-standard racecar. As of the latest update we do have regen on the brakes. It was a bit abrupt and strange, but by the end of the session it wasn't an issue for me."
TG: How did you end up working with NextEV?
PD: "I'm not blowing my own trumpet or saying I'm the fastest man there is, but I'm one of the most experienced drivers at the Nordschleife, and have no other commitments to manufacturers! So I got the call from the British team working on the car and I said 'yes I'm interested'. Why wouldn't I be?"
TG: Right, you're a Ring specialist, you've barely had any practice in the Nio, it's only running half of the car's full power…. surely you can go even faster?
PD: "I think that there's talk of us going back. It's a moving target, y'know? The car will be optimised more. The car isn't even running full power. If they could optimise the batteries to give me 1,300bhp all the way around the 'Ring, imagine that! I can keep pushing on in the corners, but on the straights, you win free time if you've got more power. That's the next step – another 400 horsepower. I actually don't want to think about it – I'm still recovering from the last lap!
"If you watch the on-board closely you can see me give a long blink as I come onto the final straight, and that's me thinking 'bloody hell that was intense, but keep going, you've got one more section to make it through.'
"I'm sure I could've gained a couple of tenths on the final section, but I knew it was a good lap, so I'm just going on feeling. I'm thinking 'just keep it together – get though quickly but don't throw it away.'
"They'll work on the chassis too, because the car's fantastic on a smooth GP circuit but was never really designed for the 'Ring, which is unlike any other circuit. For sure, there's more time in that car exactly as it is. I could knock another couple of seconds off…"

Become The Leader You Were Meant To Be
You have the position. You have the responsibility. But you can't seem to get your team working for you.

I only take a limited number of clients each year because of how much time I invest in you. You will be pushed hard and challenged to become the best leader you can be. This package is not for the faint-hearted. For that reason, there is an application process for all clients seeking to go through this programme.
Your Sessions
We'll sit down and have a great chat. Together we'll uncover who you are in your career, what are your beliefs, and what matters most to you based on your experiences up to this point?
We'll dig deep to uncover what truly matters to you in your work. What are your top values, what pushes your buttons, and how are they impacting your leadership?
You'll uncover the limiting beliefs that may be holding you back, uncover the obstacles in your way, and learn what skills you need to leverage to blast past all of them.
We'll identify the three key areas you need to work on to have massive impact and quick results, and you will have a clear action plan on what you are going to do and how you will accomplish it.
After 1 month, we'll check in on the progress of your goals. We'll celebrate your successes, make sure you're still on the right path, and make any adjustments needed as you continue to follow your plan.
The final session will pull everything together. Using what you have learned, you will establish a clear road map and know what you need to do consistently for the next 12 months to deliver on your goals.
Both you and your employees deserve having you operate at the top of your game. When we finish up the You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet Package after four months, you will be empowered with:
- Having a clear understanding of your strengths and how to leverage them.
- Tools, strategies, and a plan to develop and overcome areas you are not confident in.
- Understanding where your value conflicts lie and how they have gotten in the way, plus how to fix them.

Born in Fish Hoek on 7 June 1930, Neoklis Pnematicatos passed away peacefully at his home on 4 July 2011. He was the third of four sons born to Costa and Maria Pnematicatos both natives of the island of Ithaca in Greece. He married Violetta in 1958 and was father to Maria and Dino, grandfather to seven grandchildren, Uncle Nox to his many nieces and nephews, and friend to all who met him.
Fish Hoek Cafe was started by his father Costa and made famous by him for Tutti Frutti ice cream, as well as Choc 99 soft serve, which he gave free to all Fish Hoek children, and once tasted, he had them coming back for more.
He was a true sportsman, an accomplished soccer player and captain of Hellenic Football team. He took an interest in coaching soccer at Fish Hoek Football Club, and was always on the lookout for new talent. He was a consistent golfer, a passionate fisherman and a champion snooker player capable of the double and triple figure breaks we all dream of.
Neoklis started displaying and selling art in the Fish Hoek Cafe, once he sold the business in 1965, he opened Ithaca Art Gallery. This was an outlet for many South African artists some of whom were unknown and became famous through this exposure. He ran the gallery until 1980 when he retired. With the guidance of Don Madge, Dino Paravano, Guilseppi Catty and Titta Fasciotti, he too became a passionate artist.
He enjoyed gardening and was a green-fingered gardener specialising in roses, strelitzias and olives. Every day Neoklis could be seen in his garden, once a week accompanied by Michael, his friend, caddie and gardener of nearly 30 years.
He authored two books, 'It's Not All Greek' and 'South of Ithaca', both being personal accounts of his life in Fish Hoek.
In his own words taken from the first book, ''I am a Greek South African who may not have travelled widely but I have done many things and played many roles in my life. From motor racing, fishing, gardening and playing soccer I have been given a chance to meet and get to know the widest assortment of fellow South Africans.
The Cafe life taught me how to relate to people and how to run a business. I took risks and learned from my mistakes.
My life has not been dominated solely by Greek experiences. I am someone who needs to live in a community where I know people and they know me. In that respect Fish Hoek has been very good for me. In fact it suited me down to the ground. It lies in a valley bordered by the sea and enclosing hills. It has distinct boundaries. I have felt very much at home here in Fish Hoek and although I retain the strongest sense of my Greek inheritance it is well mixed with my love for South Africa and for Fish Hoek in particular.''
Neoklis will be missed by all he knew him especially his wife Violetta, his daughter Maria, grandchildren, brother and the rest of his family. RIP.
