I need to connect to a remote server by SSH to edit some documents. When I work at home, I SSH to the remote server using SSH Secure Shell and open
emacs, but it doesn't fully highlight documents as I want:
Is there any way to fix it so that syntax highlighting works like when I ssh through Cygwin?
SSH Secure Shell only has a problem with emacs; everything else works fine.

Subscribe To The Flash Just Brought A Fan Favorite Villain Back In A Crazy Way Updates
Spoilers for The Flash's latest episode are below, so be warned.
Supervillains should always hit up Central City when they're wanting to cause some havoc, since The Flash is a show well known for keeping the door open for antagonists to return. And for tonight's "The New Rogues," just such a thing happened. Well, sort of. It turns out Barry's Flashpoint meandering has somehow led to Killer Frost coming back, and it wasn't a resurrection of her Earth-2 form, either.
First revealed in the episode after Barry got trapped within the mirror world by Mirror Master, Caitlin Snow's altered Earth-1 identity actually led to Barry escaping, since she finished up the mirror-freezing that the other S.T.A.R. Labs team members were working on. At the moment, it seemed maybe the similarities to Killer Frost were limited to Caitlin's ability to shoot ice from her hands. But in the episode's closing seconds, audiences shared in Caitlin's surprise as she started to be taken over by the villainous personality by way of bluish lips and a light streak in her hair.
So what the hell is happening here? Caitlin manifesting the powers of an Earth-2 double almost has to be tied to Flashpoint, although crazier explanations aren't out of the question. Doctor Alchemy's involvement is possible, even though he's only been known to work with different timelines in giving people back their powers, not different dimensions. Still, he is the Season 3 villain who can give people powers, so that makes him an easy candidate.
The general return of Killer Frost wasn't a big surprise to anyone who's kept up with Flash news, since Kevin Smith inadvertently revealed it back when he shared the script page for the first episode he directed this season. (It's coming in a few weeks.) But that called for speculation about how Earth-2's Zoom-killed version of Killer Frost could exist again, and not about Earth-1 Caitlin's newfound icy powers. As it usually goes with this show, one has to do general guesswork just to figure out how to properly compose specific guesswork about a situation.
Cisco was rocking out his Vibe powers in tonight's episode, too, but is this post-Flashpoint Cisco going to be fully invested in using his transdimensional abilities for good, or will he also start to show signs of his Earth-2 opposite? In Cisco's case, he would be turning into Reverb, which would not be very good for Barry and everyone else.
With dozens more questions to lay on viewers, The Flash airs Tuesday nights on The CW at 8:00 p.m. ET. Here's hoping we get some answers sooner rather than later.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced (warning: PDF) that once again, it would delay the date on which it will begin enforcement of compliance with the 5010 standard, an ICD-10 prerequisite. The initial compliance date was January 1, 2012. CMS announced back in November that it would delay enforcement until March 31, 2012.
Now, CMS will not enforce compliance with 5010 until June 30, 2012. Recognizing numerous outstanding issues with compliance, CMS decided on another delay.
These delays affect the switch to ICD-10 because 5010 is a prerequisite standard to ICD-10.
Last month, the Department of Health and Human Services or HHS (of which CMS is a part) decided already to initiate a process to delay the switch to ICD-10. The continued delays in 5010 give some indication of how long the switch to ICD-10 will be delayed, but we hope HHS sees the light and cancels the switch to ICD-10 altogether.

Thumbs up to SUNY Brockport students and their professor Luke Bernier who recently presented the Golisano Restorative Neurology and Rehabilitation Program at Unity Hospital with a check for $1,730.
Luke and his students hosted a 5K 'Zombie Run' at the college to raise money for the program in the name of a former patient and personal friend of Luke, Timothy Carr, of Spencerport. Timothy was a patient at the Golisano Center for several weeks following a bicycle accident. This is the third year Luke has organized this fundraiser with his students.

Publix has 3rd best reputation among U.S. corporations, new poll finds
Publix took the No. 3 spot in a new poll ranking the corporate reputation of the country's 100 "most visible" companies.
The Lakeland-based supermarket chain's reputation quotient rating fell just below Amazon and the Wegmans grocery chain in The Harris Poll's annual survey.
But Publix beat out other top U.S. companies, including Apple, The Walt Disney Company and Google.
Publix took the 6th spot in the poll last year, and ranked 8th on the list in 2015.

I've analyzed the search terms that have been sending people my way over the past few weeks. Most of them fall under these three umbrellas:
- Avoid grammar errors
- Check your paper for plagiarism
- Good writing
Apparently, you people just want me to help you cheat on your homework. That's fine. This post should help anyone who is ever asked to write something without the use of Microsoft's spellcheck.
A professor of mine gave us a spelling test the other day. I haven't been asked to take a spelling test since 5th grade–when I was sent to regionals for the spelling bee, not to toot my own horn or anything. Out of 50 commonly misspelled words, I got eight wrong and had to seriously think about another handful. Perhaps going over a few of these words will help me, and others, learn how to finally spell them correctly. Some of these words I personally spelled wrong, some are ones I see misspelled when I tutor writing, and some are just interesting words. No, I won't tell you which are which.
(Warning: This is about as dorky as one can get with words. So sue me, I think words are fun!)
Supersede – Commonly seen as "supercede" because of the prevalence of other words ending in or otherwise using the suffix -cede, such as antecedent, concede, precede. "Cede," to yield, give way to, confuses the matter further, and to make matters worse, the spelling of "supersede" has fluctuated between "s" and "c" over the years.
"Supersede" means "to supplant, to take the place of" but literally means "to sit above." If I remember that the "-sede" comes from the same root as "sedentary" it may be easier to spell.
Separate – This is just cake, really. The word comes from "to make ready, prepare" according to the Oxford English Dictionary, but why this would be so is beyond me. Luckily, you can just memorize the saying passed down from my father, who is even more of a nerd than I am: "There is a rat in separate."
It works. Don't knock it.
(Bonus points for looking up my dad's other dorky phrase, which he did not coin but uses a lot nonetheless: "Nothing propinks like propinquity.")
Desiccate – Commonly misspelled "dessicate" because, heck, it just sounds better. This is probably because no other common English words draw on the Latin root, "siccus," meaning "dry." "Exsiccation" refers to the action of drying what is moist, like desiccate, or can mean "absolute dryness," but I don't think I've ever seen this word used. However, "hortus siccus" (dry garden) seems to be a somewhat common phrase in modern use.
Receive – "I before E except after C." (See also: conceive, deceive.) The Latin for this word is "re" plus "capere," "to take," so I'm going to blame the French for changing the vowels. (When in doubt, blame the French.)
Liquefy – This is a fun one. "Liquid" has a second "i" in it, so why not "liquify"?
God I wish I knew. This word, meaning "to make liquid," has always been spelled with an "e," according to the OED. It's just one of those words that must be memorized.
I think five is enough for now. What do you guys think about this type of post? I've got plenty more words I could post about, believe me.

Did you get the message from Nano HQ this morning about Pitchpalooza with the Book Doctors? I hope you did, because it sounds pretty cool.
They did this last year too, but somehow I missed it. This February I am definitely entering. The idea is that you email them your (less than 200 words) pitch for your novel. The pitch is the synopsis you would use to convince an agent or publisher or reader to want to read your book.
They will randomly select 25 from the pile to review online and the best one gets an intro to suitable agent/publisher. The one that gets most public votes (the Fan's Fav) gets a free copy of their book and a 20 minute consultation with them on improving their pitch.
All the details are here.
The 25 pitches from last year (and their critiques which are really useful reading) are here.
Yes, we can take part even though we're in Ireland.
Yes it can be any novel, not just the one you wrote in 2011.
Yes the novel doesn't have to be complete – although you'd want to be sure of the plot to write the pitch, I think.
It's one pitch per nano participant.
Deadline is 29th February 2012.
Good luck and let us know if you're shortlisted so we can all vote for you to become the Fan's Favourite.
I'm off to finish submitting my Nano2011 novel to Createspace for the free copies. I'll post How To details here once I've completed the process. So watch this space – or better yet, subscribe – press the Sign Me Up button on the top right to get emails when we do a post)
Until next time, happy writing,

Gareth Pugh has teamed up with Selfridges to create a concept space in their Oxford Street flagship store. The week-long takeover - part of Selfridges' Anatomy of Luxury programme - will run in the store's ground floor Corner Shop from the 16-22 April and will celebrate London as a creative nexus, with Pugh taking the title of 90s techno floor filler I'm a Dreamer as a jump-off point.
Pugh's residency will feature a large-scale mega-mix of twenty plus fashion films created and directed by our very own Nick Knight and the brilliant Ruth Hogben, and a retrospective look into the designer's archive. Pugh is collaborating with SHOWstudio to stage creative 'interventions' (one each day) in the Corner Shop's vast Oxford Street window. The confirmed line up so far includes designers Edwin Mohney, Richard Malone, Bianca Saunders, Sinead O'Dwyer and stylist Ibrahim Kamara, each of whom will be staging a live installation over the course of the week, platforming their work and the issues they care about.
SHOWstudio kicks off their collaboration with Pugh with Edwin Mohney's window display on Monday 16 April 16:00 BST. Follow our Facebook Lives with Features Editor Lara Johnson-Wheeler to gain better insight into the space and Mohney's process!
Plus! Thursday 19 April, SHOWstudio's Fashion Illustration Gallery is taking over the Selfridges Window, with illustrators Beth Fraser, Fiona Gourlay, Stephen Doherty and Jenifer Corker all interpreting looks from designer Sinead O'Dwyer. Our Fashion Editor Georgina Evans will be on hand, interviewing each artist with our Facebook Lives!
The designer's residency will culminate on Saturday 21 April with an exhilarating 'behind the curtain' installation, with the space transformed into a full-scale recreation of a backstage set up at one of Gareth Pugh's shows.
Created in collaboration with MAC Cosmetics, plus legendary nail artist Marian Newman and CND Nails, friends and customers will be offered total makeovers, inspired by the designer's full throttle aesthetic. Sink The Pink superstars and Veuve Clicquot will also be on hand. 'I want it to be an all-out celebration of the creative spirit of London... London as a place where anything can happen.' says Pugh.
16-22 April Selfridges Corner Shop on G 400 Oxford St, Marylebone, London W1A 1AB

What is Hadoop?
Apache Hadoop is an open source project governed by the Apache So7ware Founda:on (ASF) that allows you to gain insight from massive amounts of structured and unstructured data quickly and without significant investment.
Hadoop is designed to run on commodity hardware and can scale up or down without system interrup:on. It consists of three main func:ons: storage, processing and resource management.
Core services on Hadoop
MapReduce: MapReduce is a framework for wri:ng applica:ons that process large amounts of structured and unstructured data in
parallel across a cluster of several machines in a reliable and fault-tolerant.
HDFS: Hadoop Distributed File System is a java-based file system that provides scalable and reliable data storage for large group of clusters.
Hadoop Yarn: Yarn is a next genera:on framework for Hadoop Data processing extending MapReduce capabili:es by suppor:ng non- MapReduce workloads associated with other programming models.
Apache Tez: Tez generalizes the MapReduce paradigm to a more powerful framework for execu:ng a complex DAG (directed acyclic graph) of tasks for near real-:me big data processing
Hadoop Data Services
Apache Pig: Its plaPorm for processing and analyzing large data sets.
Apache Hbase: A column-oriented No SQL data storage system that provides random real-:me read/write access to big data for user applica:ons.
Apache Hive: Built on the MapReduce framework, Hive is a data warehouse that enables easy data summariza:on and add-hoc queries via SQL-like interface for large datasets stored in HDFS.
Apache Flume: Allows efficiently aggrega:ng and moving large amounts of log data from many different sources to Hadoop.
Apache Mahout: Apache Mahout scalable machine learning algorithms for hadoop, which aids with data science for clustering, classifica:on and batch based collabora:ve filtering.
Apache Accumulo : Accumulo is a high performance data storage and retrieval system with cell-level access control. It is a scalable implementa:on of Google's Big Table design that works on top of Apache Hadoop and Apache ZooKeeper.
Apache Storm : Storm is a distributed real-:me computa:on system for processing fast, large streams of data adding reliable real-:me data processing capabili:es to Apache Hadoop 2.x.
Apache Catalog : A table and metadata management service that provides a centralized way for data processing systems to understand the structure and loca:on of the data stored within Apache Hadoop
Apache Sqoop : Sqoop is a tool that speeds and eases movement of data in and out of Hadoop. It provides a reliable parallel load for various, popular enterprise data sources.
Hadoop OperaConal Services
Apache Zookeeper: A highly available system for coordina:ng distribu:ng processes.
Apache Falcon: Falcon is a data management framework for simplifying data lifecycle management and processing pipelines on Apache
Apache Ambari: Open source installa:on lifecycle management, administra:on, and monitoring system for Apache Hadoop Clusters. Apache knox: "Knox" gateway is a system that provides a single point of authen:ca:on and access for Apache Hadoop services in a cluster.
Apache Oozie: Oozie Java web applica:on used to schedule Apache Hadoop Jobs. Oozie combines mul:ple jobs sequen:ally into one logical unit of work.
What Hadoop can, and can't do
What Hadoop can't do
You can't use Hadoop for

Finding financing for West African entrepreneurs
Access to finance is often the No. 1 obstacle to success for entrepreneurs in developing countries, where high interest rates and uninterested bankers meet firms that don't know how to meet the information demands of financing institutions.
Last year, Mariko Fadima Siby of Mali ran straight into this barrier. Companies in Europe and the U.S. wanted lots of her company's fonio – a nutritious and tasty small grain. But without any way to pay for the raw material, she couldn't fill their orders.
This spring, a successful application to Root Capital allowed UCODAL, Siby's company, to obtain pre-processing financing for up to US$75,000 at a time from Root Capital, a fund that seeks to achieve social impact through investment.
"Above all, this is a profitable business, it's well managed and the finances are under control of the owner who has more than 20 years experience in this domain," said Bamba Fall of Root Capital. "The company also has a huge impact on the women's groups it works with."
The application was facilitated by CATEK Groupe, one of three financial services firms subcontracted by USAID's West Africa Trade Hub to help entrepreneurs hurdle this obstacle. The firms work closely with selected businesses to prepare their proposals for review, including business plans and budgets -- a model that has worked well through the Macedonia Competitiveness Project's Financial Platform.
The timing is right. Overarching forces--rapid urbanization, increased consumerism and an increase in the number of working-age people in a larger middle class--are driving demand for expanded financial services, said bankers and financial experts at the 2nd annual African Banking and Financial Institutions Conference in Accra, Ghana, April 27-28.
The conference's 40 participants included representatives from IFC, the African Development bank, the Bank of Ghana, Fitch Ratings, Standard & Poor's, Ecobank Private Equity, Prudential Bank, CAL Bank, the Ghana Ministry of Finance, private equity and microfinance institutions, international consultants and other service providers in the finance sector.
Africa is the new frontier for investments. Benin, Cote d'Ivoire, Gabon, Ghana, Liberia, and Togo are finalizing membership and Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone are in discussions to join the African Trade Insurance. The added security of ATI insurance for investments and trade transactions will boost assess to finance, said George Otieno, ATI's CEO.
Non-bank sources of financing, such as private equity firms, are making important impacts where banks are not, financiers at the conference said.
Private equity firms can step in and take up stakes in businesses to free up capital for growth. The firms are highly sought after and receive many applications from businesses. Given that dynamic, it is up to exporting companies to make their cases, financiers said.
The USAID Trade Hub works with alternative financiers like Root Capital and Grassroots Business Fund to provide the financing that is missing from commercial banks and private equity firms.

August. Oh, August! I am so ready for this month. So many changes happening and all of them for the better. My life is going to look drastically different one month from today and I'm excited, but also slightly scared, for what's coming up. July was a month mainly used for applying to jobs and trying to get my health back on track. I set 5 goals for myself:
1. Reorganize my room. Eh, somewhat. My room is a huge work-in-progress and for the majority of the month, we were in a holding pattern, deciding whether or not we were going to move. (Our rent is only going up by $20.) We're staying here for one more year so I really need to get my room together. It's a mess, currently, but I'm confident it will look more put together very soon. (First step: buying a dresser.)
2. Drink 1 liter of water a day. FAIL! Huge fail! While I have been consistently drinking water every day (which is a huge win) but drinking a whole liter every day is a big goal for me. I need to start smaller and focus more on when I'm drinking water, not so much how much. I don't drink a lot by nature, so it's more necessary for me to focus more on drinking more water than anything else (especially soda).
3. Start writing again. Another big fail. I did a little writing this month, but not much and definitely not at the level I need to be writing if I ever want to become a published novelist. I don't know if I've just lost my motivation or inspiration, but my writing has stalled a lot this year.
4. Make a budget and stick to it. I didn't even attempt this goal in July. But, honestly, there wasn't much need with the money I'm making right now. But! I am starting a new job in August (have I mentioned it enough yet?!) and will be contributing to the bills much, much more. So I'm excited to actually make a budget and learn to play with my finances.
5. Apply, apply, apply to jobs. Oh, success. A big, big success. Maybe you didn't hear? I was offered a job and START IN SIX DAYS? Oh, my God. Crazy, crazy! In the best possible way. (And yay, for the first time in 3 months, this goal won't be on my list!)
August is going to be an incredibly busy month, but an incredibly awesome one. My goals are as follows: to start working and embrace my new role with gusto, complete VEDA as best I can, track my food every single day (even if I'm over my limit for the week), begin boot camp at my gym and try not to die, and finally, make a budget and stick to it.
What fun things do you have planned for August?

The Villains
Astronema and her forces operated from the Dark Fortress, which was armed with satellasers to make monsters grow. The Dark Fortress was last seen on Earth, after being commandeered by Red Space Ranger Andros.
Dark Specter
The mastermind behind it all- Dark Specter has managed to attack Eltare and successfully abduct the wizard Zordon, who's powers he plans to drain and use for his own evil agenda. Before completing his agenda, he was destroyed by the treacherous Darkonda, who used a missile meant for Earth.
Ecliptor is Astronema's ruthless and powerful warrior. His expert swordfighting skill and tremendous firepower make him one of the Rangers most dangerous villains. He helped the Rangers when Astronema joined their side, but was turned evil again by Dark Specter, only to be destroyed by Zordon's energy.
Astronema created the Psycho Rangers, insane machines with insatiable lusts to destroy their heroic counterparts. The Psycho Rangers each read their respective Ranger's mind to be able to read their moves, making them nearly impossible to defeat. Using a special machine, the Psychos were digitzed and stored on data cards, which would later be recovered in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.

The coming year promises to be a busy one for the Greater Essex County District School Board. It has five new schools in the pipeline and two reviews studying the future of elementary schools in Leamington and Forest Glade to launch in February, director of education Erin Kelly tells Dave Waddell.
Public school board faces busy year with five new schools in pipeline
The coming year promises to be a busy one for the Greater Essex County District School Board. It has five new schools in the pipeline and two reviews studying the future of elementary schools in Leamington and Forest Glade to launch in February, director of education Erin Kelly tells
Dave Waddell.
Q What were the board's biggest challenges in the past year?
AThe fact we've been able to address some of our operation needs has been really important to us.
We've focused on mathematics and done a lot of research in that area to help implement new strategies.
Those are two of the top things we've been able to do.
I'd also say we've been able to target the needs of our newcomers. We've worked hard to include them. Our summer program for (English as a second language) students has helped them fill in the gaps.
Q What was the toughest decision of the past year?
AAccommodation decisions are always tough when you displace communities (such as happened with the closure of Harrow District High School). However, we've been able to offer them more programming.
There were other communities that moved too. The (Percy P.) McCallum community moved to Herman and the (John) McGregor community moved to Ford City.
Q What is the most important issue the board faces going forward?
AWe have to adjust the achievement issues, particularly at the elementary level. I always see achievement as the No. 1 goal of the school board.
We should be aiming high and meeting the needs of our students, hence our programs to deal with early reading and a focus on math.
Q What are the operational challenges?
AWe have to take seriously the budget deficit (of $3.7 million) and address that. We have to be more efficient in some of our processes.
Obviously, accommodations (school closures) come into that. Since staff is 80 per cent of our budget, we have to look at efficiencies there.
We'll continue to work through them and I believe we have addressed some of them when we see some of the revised estimates in the new year.
Q What new programming is coming in the near future?
AThe International Baccalaureate program. It's exciting to have that at two of our high schools — Leamington and Riverside. Our intake to those programs begins in September 2017.
Other programming is the expansion of our Empower Program that helps meet the needs of students who are challenged in reading. We received money to broaden that.
We'll be introducing a parent portal (Learning Management System) to help parents communicate with teachers and schools and find out about the learning of their children. It's being used now at various levels in different schools, but it'll be expanded this year.
Q How will having five new schools coming on line in the next three years, beginning with the opening of Leamington District High School in September 2017, impact the board?
AYou can create efficiencies when you have new buildings that don't have a lot of cost in terms of renewal. Also, we may be able, in some cases, during the design process to plan for new programming.
(Having new schools) helps create efficiencies because it helps right size the system, so that people places are effectively managed and used.
That creates operationally some help for us from the budget perspective.
Q How will the board approach the issue of eliminating most of the 6,516 empty spaces still remaining in the system?
AWe've brought forward an extensive long-term accommodation plan that identifies areas of concern. We have two new accommodation reviews (which would eliminate 950 spaces) that have been approved (by the board of trustees) and they'll be the priority in the coming months.
We do need to get some boundary issues sorted out as we get to the new builds (North Shore and Giles French Immersion Campus). Those will be the top priorities.
The board is on track to get down to 5,000 empty spaces in three years under previously announced plans. What is the target number for the board? That (2,000 empty spaces) would be ideal. It would be fiscally responsible and certainly desirable.
Q What is the board's position on the value of the Education Quality and Accountability Office?
AEQAO does provide valuable data for us in terms of seeing where our students are.
The online testing didn't go so well. I think they could look to some efficiencies for the cost of the test there, which I believe is the intention of online testing.
EQAO is one piece of the puzzle, but I think it's something we do need to look at. There could be tweaks to it in the future.
Q What will be the most important issue or trend in education in Ontario in 2017?
AWell-being is a focus for the province. We know that students need to feel safe, comfortable and nourished. They need to feel physically, cognitively and emotionally cared for in order to learn well.
The province has a new well-being strategy they're beginning to gather data on. That's something we need to look at more closely as part of the whole picture of student achievement.
Q What are your personal goals?
AMy goal is always to make sure the board has excellent programs — that we have top-notch commitment to achievement and improvement. It's about doing the best things for kids.
It's also about keeping our budget aligned. I'm committed to making sure we're fiscally and ethically responsible around our resources.
Q What gives you hope?
AOne of the things that makes me very hopeful is our students and their commitment to philanthropy, to social justice, to doing the right thing for the planet.
Those things give me so much hope for the future as the director because I think they're committed to that. They're far ahead of those who came before them.

February 5, 2015 in Educational (E)
[prMac.com] Yoshkar-Ola, Russian Federation - Virtual Space OOO is pleased to introduce their new educational app for Mac, "3D Molecules Editor". This application allows one to build and manipulate 3D molecular models of organic and inorganic compounds. The key features of 3D Molecules Editor are 3D printing support and the 'Test yourself' mode that allows learners to check their knowledge of the 3D structure of molecules. This is a valuable tool for chemistry students when learning about molecular bonding and orbitals with the aid of 3D visualisation. The app is great for any high school or college student in chemistry courses.
Are you looking for apps that allow students to construct molecules with 3D visualization? 3D Molecules Editor is a very effective app for this purpose as it allows organic and inorganic molecular structures to be built with single, double and triple bonds, as well as cyclic compounds. The molecules can be visualised in 3D using stick, ball and stick and space-filling (CPK) models.
Important information about the molecule can be displayed. For example, it is possible to visualise the atomic orbitals, see electronic effects using arrows and identify bond lengths and element symbols.
The key feature of 3D Molecules Editor full version is 'Test yourself' mode. It allows learners to check their knowledge of chemistry and chemical compounds. Unlock the full version from within the application.
3D printing offers a unique and straightforward approach to fabricate plastic 3D models of molecules and extended solids. 3D Molecules Editor has an option to directly export the model as an STL file (most 3D printers recognize this format).In building these molecules, guidance is initially needed to show how to use the software. There is a help button that provides clear and concise screen shots demonstrating how to use the app.
3D Molecules Editor allows the user to open and view molecules in SDF or PDB format files, for example, from NCBI's PubChem, a public database of compounds or from RCSB Protein Data Bank. Once the molecules are built, they can be saved or emailed. This is another good feature for assessment as students can send molecules to the teacher and the image opens directly in the email.
* Export molecules for 3D Printing (STL file format)
* Building molecule model of any organic or inorganic compound using most of periodic table elements
* Loading, editing and saving molecule in SDF file format
* Loading, editing and saving molecule in PDB file format
* Support of single, double and triple bonds
* Building molecule models of cyclic compounds
* Visualization of Wireframe style, Stick style, Ball and Stick, Spacefill (CPK) models
* Visualization of atomic orbitals and electron effects
* Availability of information about the bond length and chemical element symbols in the molecule
* Bond-angle optimization
* Saving and sending the created model by e-mail
* Export to VRML format for builded molecule
This is a valuable tool for beginner chemistry students when learning about molecular bonding and orbitals with the aid of 3D visualisation.
System Requirements:
* Requires OS X 10.7 or later
Pricing and Availability:
3D Molecules Editor 1.0 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the Mac App Store in the Education category.

Certified Criminal Trial Lawyers
Juvenile Crimes
Bergen County Attorney for Juvenile Crimes
When an adult is charged with a criminal offense, they typically understand the importance of the situation and contact a criminal defense attorney. However, when a juvenile is arrested, parents often decide not to retain an attorney. Perhaps parents make this decision because they feel the potential consequences do not warrant the time or money required to retain an attorney.
However, juvenile crimes carry the potential for serious and lasting consequences to a child. In addition to the fact that colleges may ask for information about juvenile offenses, certain juvenile offenses may be considered by the courts in making sentencing decisions if a juvenile is later charged with a crime as an adult. Juvenile crimes that involve a sex offense can lead to registration as a sex offender. A DWI can affect a teenager's right to drive. Serious juvenile crimes can even lead to a protracted period of detention in a facility for juvenile offenders.
Protect Your Child: Retain a Juvenile Defense Attorney
If your child has been accused of committing a juvenile crime, do not take their charges lightly. Have your child's case handled properly by an experienced criminal defense attorney familiar with New Jersey criminal laws and procedures.
At Brickfield & Donahue, we provide a vigorous defense against all juvenile crime charges, including:
- Drug charges
- Sex offenses
- Violent crimes: assault, burglary, aggravated assault
- Shoplifting and theft offenses
- Destruction of property and vandalism
- Alcohol related offenses

Houston (i/ˈhjuːstən/ hyoo-stən) is the most populous city in Texas and the fourth-most populous city in the United States, located in Southeast Texas near the Gulf of Mexico. With a census-estimated 2014 population of 2.239 million[5] within a land area of 599.6 square miles (1,553 km2),[6] it also is the largest city in the Southern United States,[7] as well as the seat ofHarris County. It is the principal city of Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land, which is the fifth-most populated metropolitan area in the United States.
Houston was founded on August 28, 1836 near the banks of Buffalo Bayou (now known as Allen's Landing)[8][9] and incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837. The city was named after former General Sam Houston, who was president of theRepublic of Texas and had commanded and won at the Battle of San Jacinto 25 miles (40 km) east of where the city was established. The burgeoning port and railroad industry, combined with oil discovery in 1901, has induced continual surges in the city's population. In the mid-20th century, Houston became the home of the Texas Medical Center—the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions—and NASA's Johnson Space Center, where the Mission Control Centeris located.[10]
Houston's economy has a broad industrial base in energy, manufacturing, aeronautics, and transportation. It is also leading in health care sectors and building oilfield equipment; only New York City is home to more Fortune 500 headquarters within its city limits.[11][12] The Port of Houston ranks first in the United States in international waterborne tonnage handled and second in total cargo tonnage handled.[13] Nicknamed the "Space City", Houston is a global city, with strengths in business, international trade, entertainment, culture, media, fashion, science, sports, technology, education, medicine, and research. The city has a population from various ethnic and religious backgrounds and a large and growing international community. Houston is themost diverse city in Texas and has been described as the most diverse in the United States.[14] It is home to many cultural institutions and exhibits, which attract more than 7 million visitors a year to the Museum District. Houston has an active visual and performing arts scene in the Theater District and offers year-round resident companies in all major performing arts

Editor's Note: A Quality of Life Committee sponsored by the Perry County Development Corp. is partnering with The News to present the stories of people who have moved to Perry County or who have returned here after several years away. This column was written by Lewis Anderson.
Like most 18-year-olds in this town, I could not wait to leave Tell City. There were so many things I wanted to accomplish in life and this small town was a dead end. So after I graduated from Purdue University, I took a commission in the U.S. Navy as an ensign.
I don't have a nostalgic feeling toward the original "Clash of the Titans" (1981). I rewatched it recently and just couldn't get past the cheesy stop-motion animation. Some people may a have a special place in their heart for the campy film about Perseus and the Greek gods, but not me. I was very excited to see a big-budget remake of this film and I suppose I'm glad they did it.
Violence is not the answer.
Seems pretty simple, doesn't it? It's a phrase most of us have heard all our lives and is something we hope all of us strive to follow. Unfortunately, it doesn't always happen.
We understand the recent passing of the new health-care-reform bill has many Americans upset and voicing their political views. This is great - voicing opinions is a right we all have and we are happy to see so many exercising that right. What is not so awe-inspiring is the violence that has occurred along with it.
Spring (the season) has sprung and the warmer weather last week, aided by a week of vacation the previous several days, put a bit more spring in my step. The extra energy is most welcome.
The arrival of Easter, the springtime holiday on my calendar, adds even more certainty to the declaration that winter is kaput. I'm sure there are a few frosts to come and perhaps even a scattered flurry or two will fly sometime in the next couple of weeks, but spring is here, the grass is greening and summer is nipping at our heels. Alleluia.
An Associated Press story I read Wednesday seemed pretty upbeat, offering worlds of promise beginning with the headline.
Atom smasher moves toward Big Bang goal
Far be it from us to suggest he can't express his opinions, but we suspect the Indiana secretary of state is using his official position in ways that may cross the lines of what's proper.
Secretary of State Todd Rokita issued a statement March 4 regarding the lawsuit filed against him by the League of Women Voters of Indiana alleging the state's voter-identification law treats voters differently, and therefore unequally and unconstitutionally. Attorneys for the League and the state had presented oral arguments before the Indiana Supreme Court that morning.
To the sheriff's deputy who blew through the four-way stop at 19th and Mozart streets at 1:09 p.m. Thursday, thank you.
I might have recognized you, and therefore thanked you by name, but you had your hand up to your face, perhaps holding a cell phone.
I want to thank you because a law-enforcement officer blowing the stop sign gives credence to my theory that people going through that intersection driving north or south are different from those of us going east or west.
Each year, millions of people dedicated to eliminating cancer in our lifetime participate in a unique event that helps communities celebrate cancer survivorship, remember loved ones lost and fight back against a disease that takes too much. That event is the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.
Fifty years after a deadly plane crash united residents of Perry County in grief, weekend services again proved how caring our community can be.
Relatives of several victims of the 1960 crash at Millstone of Northwest Orient Flight 710 attended March 13-14 events marking the 50th anniversary of the crash. Led by the local Kiwanis Club and a committee of community members, Saturday's memorial and Sunday's worship service honored the memories of the 63 people who died March 17, 1960.
Anonymous letters are common in my mailbag. One arrives every few days, many of them handwritten. Some are well-thought-out with very neat penmanship. Others are scribbled, obviously in anger or haste. Maybe both.
We don't publish nameless letters, but I read them nonetheless. Some are so profanity-laced they'd make a sailor blush in shame. Others are thoughtful and could otherwise be published unedited, had they come with the authors' name.
Eagles Bluff Park, which overlooks the Cannelton Locks and Dam on the Ohio River, is the crown jewel of Perry County's parks and has been open daily since renovations were completed there in 2008. But those who work until 5 p.m. — certainly a sizable part of the county's population — were never able to enjoy it on weekdays because the park closed at 5 p.m. (and this year winter closing time was changed to 4 p.m.). Effective today, though, that has changed. The park is now open until 7 p.m.
I once heard the saying that a man is never truly a man until he stands naked in front of a woman.
Editor's Note: The Quality of Life Committee sponsored by the Perry County Development Corp. is partnering with The News to present the stories of people who have moved to Perry County or who have returned here after several years away. This column was written by Kenneth Simpson. When it was requested I write an article concerning my family's move to Tell City and Perry County, I had many thoughts. But basically, it was a case of my wife Sandra and me moving back home.
"Alice in Wonderland," Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's latest collaboration, is equal parts strange and goofy. This is not a bad thing, I was just hoping for something a bit darker. The film is still enjoyable and it certainly held my interest.
Spring is still two weeks away but already candidates' campaign signs are springing up like yellow daffodils. The advertising in front yards and the pages of The News are proof that Indiana's May 4 primary is fast approaching and locally contested races for sheriff, treasurer, county commissioner and county council.
A candidate forum April 15 at the Schergens Center will give candidates a public chance to outline their reasons for running and their goals, if elected. So will questionnaires the newspaper will send to them in the next couple of weeks.
I know what many parents are concerned with these days ... Will their child excel in this harsh economic environment? What about preparing for future careers and challenges?
I'm going to let you in on a well-kept secret in Perry County. There is an organization that helps youth develop leadership and citizenship skills. They can also learn other important life skills such as wise use of resources (planning a budget), healthy lifestyle choices (eating right and exercising) and social skills. It's 4-H!
OK, let's get one thing straight: Percy Jackson is not Harry Potter. If you had read anything else about "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" (from here on out I'll just stick with "The Lightning Thief") then you've read that Percy doesn't stack up against Harry.
Last week, a Florida magistrate judge ruled that Katherine Evans, a 19-year-old journalism student at the University of Florida, has the right to sue her former high-school principal after being suspended in 2007. Evans, a high-school senior at the time, was given a three-day suspension by former Pembroke Pines Charter High School principal Peter Bayer after she had created a Facebook page titled "Ms.
March 14 is Pi Day. That's because pi, the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle, starts with the digits 3.14159. So, March 14, at 1:59 p.m. (or a.m. if you're up) is the appropriate day and minute to celebrate pi. We should pay special attention to Pi Day in Indiana, because Indiana has a special place in the history of pi. Back in 1897, Dr. Edwin J.

On July 15, 2016, a group within the Turkish Armed Forces tried to seize control of the Turkish government. The attempted coup ended a day later when forces loyal to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan beat back the dissidents.
Predictably, there was an explosion of news articles and commentary about the coup, its implications for Turkey, and how this coup compared to previous coups. However, we noticed something odd in these articles. They were terribly inconsistent. Some news sites proclaimed the coup astonishing while others dismissed it as just another Turkish coup (maybe even a staged one). Some predicted economic doom for Turkey while others said the effect of the coup would be an unnoticeable blip in its economic history. In short, the conversation around Turkey's coup had confusion in spades.
It comes as a surprise but it feels like we've always known subconsciously that this would be happening sooner or later. #TurkeyCoup
— Katya (@bulgakovreader) July 15, 2016
Turkey Coup? Next surprise please. The World is just one big drama Stage
— Kayode Ogundamisi (@ogundamisi) July 15, 2016
People think this is evidence the Turkish coup was staged https://t.co/dxqFChrrWh
— The Independent (@Independent) July 18, 2016
The quickest way to cut through confusion is to get data. That's why we decided to analyze data on 475 attempted coups all over the world from 1950 to the present. This post highlights some awesome insights that our analysis threw up, including coup organizers' uncanny love of certain dates, just how common a failed coup is, and the likelihood of Turkey having another coup in the future (hint: it's pretty high).
We used Jonathan Powell & Clayton Thyne's "Coup D'etat Dataset" (1950-2016) as the base for our analysis. This data set merges all previous classifications and lists of coups. For more information on Powell and Thyne's definition of a coup, check out their article.
The Powell/Thyne data set has two important parts — a list of over 2,000 possible coups (1950 to 2010) with supplementary details, and a final list of over 470 global coups (updated in real time). We merged the two data sets to create a master data set with details on every coup from 1950 to 2016. We also pulled historical exchange rate data from the PACIFIC Exchange Rate Service, provided by Professor Werner Antweiler.
Note that the Powell/Thyne data set uses "coups" to refer to both attempted and successful coups. We will do the same thing in this article for consistency.
Coups are fairly common…
Many news outlets and commenters expressed surprise at Turkey's coup, calling it unexpected or surreal, even considering Turkey's tumultuous history. Meanwhile, others seemed unimpressed with yet another coup in our increasingly chaotic world.
On the surface, these positions seem mutually exclusive — are coups really that unexpected or not? There is truth in both sides.
Coups are pretty common. Since 1950, there have been 475 coups across 95 countries. That's 7.2 coups per year on average. Here's the kicker: At least one coup has occurred every single year since 1950 except 2007. Let that sink in.
The same pattern is true at a country level. For countries with at least 1 coup, the average number of coups per country is 5. Bolivia topped the charts with 23 coups in just 35 years (from 1950 to its last coup in 1984). On average, that means the country couldn't even get through two years without a coup.
How does Turkey fit into this narrative? TIME claimed that Turkey "has seen more than its fair share of coups". However, Turkey is not far from average. It has experienced a total of 6 coups (including the coup this month), which is only slightly higher than the average of 5 coups per country.
…but coups are becoming rarer.
With all the terrorist activity and violence in the news, it can seem like volatility and instability are the new normal. However, if coups are any measure of instability, the world has actually become more stable. Over the past few decades, coups have shown a steady decline.
The average number of coups per year dropped from its peak of 12.3 in the 1960s to 2.9 in the years since 2000. What do you think could be the reason for this?
Coups are often unsuccessful.
Some news sites expressed surprise over the failure of Turkey's attempted coup, insisting that the coup must have been poorly planned (or even a conspiracy). As Aaron Stein summarized, "The narrative following the coup is that this was a small, ill-conceived group of plotters who failed to overthrow the elected government".
However, it's fairly normal for a coup to be unsuccessful. Since 1950, 50.3% of all attempted coups have failed. That's 239 failed coups out of 475 total. Within a given country, only 49.6% of all attempted coups are successful on average.
If anything, the percentage of successful coups has declined in the short term. Fun fact: 2016 is the second year in a row with no successful coups.
Coups happen exactly at the beginning, middle, and end of the month.
Three of the most common days of the month for coups are the 1st, 15th, and 30th. Yes, exactly the beginning, middle, and end of the month. Turkey's attempted coup fits with this pattern, since it occurred on July 15th. We won't speculate on why this happens, but perhaps coup instigators secretly want a memorable date?
A coup's success doesn't correlate with the number of previous coups.
One popular misconception is that countries with more coups are more unstable, so future coups are more likely to succeed. However, the data shows this link to be false. There appears to be no correlation between the number of coups in a given country and the success rate of those coups.
It shouldn't be surprising that Turkey had a 6th coup…
Turkey's 6th coup shocked many, since it came after 36 years of an apparently stable democratic government. However, the data shows that it was reasonable that Turkey, having gone through five coups, would have a sixth coup.
A staggering 86.8% of countries with 5 attempted coups went on to have a 6th coup. Those countries had an average of 4 additional coups (within the timespan of our data set).
What does this chart mean? 48.7% of the countries that had 0 coups went on to have at least 1 coup. 80.0% of the countries that had 1 coup went on to have at least 2 coups. And so on…
The big takeaway from this data — countries that have at least one coup often continue having more coups in the future, at least based on historical coup data. Once a country has that first coup, it's reasonable to expect that the country will continue having coups. After all, for countries with at least 1 coup, the average number of coups per country is 5.
…and it won't be surprising if Turkey has a 7th coup.
After July 15, Turkey has now experienced 6 coups. According to our data, 81.8% of countries with 6 coups went on to have a 7th coup. This means that we shouldn't be surprised if Turkey has a 7th coup in the future.
If anyone knows of a good data set classifying historical coups by their regime type pre- or post-coup, let us know! We're on the hunt for more data.
We've also dug into economic data to predict how Turkey's failed coup will affect its economy. That analysis will feature in our next blog. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay tuned!

This is an interesting reading especially for those of us who do not have a lot of background on Turkey.
The one point of interest is Turkeys wish to join the EU and its attempt to improve its Constitution and remove the powers of the military as was provided in the its 'old' Constitution which I understand has been revised so as to make Turkey more democratic.This was seen to be to be in line with the requirements of the EU.Specifically ,it got rid of the Immunity Provisions in the old Constitution which gave those that successfully carried out the coups from prosecution.The removal of the immunity provisions meant that the members of the military who carried out earlier coups were required to face persecution and in itself may have been a disincentive for the member's of the military from moving forward and embracing the new Constitution.
I wonder if this connection contributed to the motives of the sixth (July 15,2016) Coup?
All the best
Nice dataset and cool maps and visualisations. Although you can use statistical methods to predict the likelihood of a coup. Your statement, 'There is no way to predict a coup's success by the number of previous coups.' is incorrect as you base this argument on correlation which should NOT be used as causation. Another statement, 'A staggering 86.8% of countries with 5 attempted coups went on to have a 6th coup.' is scientifically incorrect method of predicting the likelihood of a coup in a country. The likelihood should be based on economic conditions, foreign relations, political ideologies and the international climate rather than finding % of countries with successive coups.
'We've also dug into economic data to predict how Turkey's failed coup will affect its economy. That analysis will feature in our next blog.'
One of the very scientific methods developed in economics to study such events is to use the methods of treatment-effects. Developed primarily in drug testing by conducting RCTs, it is being used extensively in arenas of public policy and development economics. You can find huge amount of economic literature on this matter and the ways of applying these methods. I hope you use a better statistical methodology to base your conclusions.

By incorporating elements of art and science, landscape designers work with plants and garden structures to blend buildings into nature. Upon hiring East Coast Green for your design/build landscape project you will be working with landscape designer Jessee McMath whom has been accredited the degree of Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture. With this degree and many years of hands-on experience, Jessee is able to produce landscapes that are creative, functional and financially sensible.
East Coast Green works with many different clients and our design work varies with each project. Design work can range basic foundation plans to large estate planning and multi-phased residential and commercial projects. We also offer onsite consultations for smaller projects, but in turn many decide to go with a design.
If you have never worked with a landscape designer before; follow along below to see what a typical design process entails.
Initial Consultation
- Client calls or emails a list of landscape needs.
- Information is passed onto our designer, whom then calls to discuss the project further and sets up an appointment for a site visit. There is a $65 per hour consultation fee for the first meeting. This fee will be credited towards the design if the client chooses to use East Coast Green for their project.
- During the site visit, the designer and client will walk through the site to discuss the project needsor intentions. Clients are encouraged to provide pictures to better convey their visions with the designer. Tip: To save time and money provide the designer with as much information about your property as possible, i.e. plot plans, house plans, other surveys.
- During this meeting the designer will give a quote for the design service. Once the estimate is agreed upon it is put in contract form.
- Design Contract – the contract for design services will include:
- Scope of Work,
- Site layout using recorded plot plan,
- Additional onsite measurements, and
- Photographs of property for design purposes.
Drawing package to include:
- 2-scaled landscape plans
- Plant List
- Quote for Installation of Design
Upon completion of the design phase, clients then have the option of having the work installed by East Coast Green, themselves or sending the project out to bid.

FileMaker has tweaked the user interface in a "significant" new version of its flagship relational database, FileMaker Pro.
The Apple subsidiary launched FileMaker Pro 10 on Monday, promising "the most dramatic design changes in over a decade." Indeed, the new release features a redesigned and customisable Status Toolbar, similar to browser toolbars. This, says the company, allows commonly used FileMaker Pro features that were previously only accessible from the main menu, to be closer to hand.
"This is a very significant release, giving the user interface the most change in over ten years, so it is not just a little refresh," explained Tony Speakman, regional manager for Northern Europe. Indeed, FileMaker has long been associated with the integration of a database engine with the GUI-based interface. Back in the 1980s, FileMaker was one of a handful of database applications released for the Apple Macintosh, but it is not just a Mac-oriented database.
"The Mac emphasis is a perception but if you look at market penetration, 90 percent of machines used in businesses are PCs, and it is fair to say that the majority of our customers are PC-based," said Speakman.
FileMaker Pro can run on both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X, and one of its key advantages is that it looks and feels exactly the same in Windows as on a Mac.
Speakman told Techworld of the other new features in FileMaker Pro 10, which now has the ability to automatically save searches. This is a useful feature that allows users to save specific searches. For example, a search to locate customers in London who have spent more than £1,000 ($1,459) in the past year, but have not ordered in the last three months, can now be saved and used repeatedly again in the future.
Script Triggers have also been introduced in the new version. A FileMaker Script is essentially similar to a spreadsheet macro, and these can now be run based on timing or whenever users take a specified action in Browse Mode or Find Mode, such as clicking in a field or exiting a viewing mode. FileMaker Pro comes with 12 ready-to-use Script Triggers (five object-based and seven layout-based).
The database also has the ability to pull data in from an Excel 2007 spreadsheet, or a .CSV, Tab or Bento 2 file.
It also features dynamic reports, allowing users to make changes on the fly to their underlying data, and then allowing them to see this updated information in a report, without them having to rerun the report.
SQL support has been enhanced, and it can now display, access and use data from a greater number of SQL sources, including SQL tables in Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Oracle 11g and MySQL 5.1 community edition.
Users can also send email directly from FileMaker Pro instead of having to open their email client, thanks to the ability to send mail via SMTP.
FileMaker is shipping the entire FileMaker Pro 10 product line, which includes FileMaker Pro 10 Advanced (the developer version), as well as FileMaker Server 10 and FileMaker Server 10 Advanced (which includes web publishing capabilities). FileMaker Server 10 features simplified server management and an enhanced PHP Site Assistant.
FileMaker 10 also comes with an updated Quick Start screen and Resource Centre. The updated help centres now include videos to help users get going faster. All FileMaker 10 products are immediately available.
New users may order FileMaker Pro 10 for £219/£131 upgrade ($319/$191) and FileMaker pro 10 Advanced for £329/£197 upgrade ($480/$287).
FileMaker Server 10 is £699/£419 upgrade and FileMaker Server 10 Advanced is £2,199/£1,319 upgrade.

I'm back from my Mediterranean cruise, and I survived two weeks with 28 of my family members trapped on a boat (OK, this scenario is fairly easy to survive when you're basically in paradise). But there were a few rough moments, and here's one of them…
On a stop in Mykonos, we decided to have a day for just the 20- and 30-something cousins to hang out without kids and without our old fogey parents (kidding, Mom and Dad!). After a quick breakfast on the oceanfront (rough life), one of my cousins, who shall remain nameless as he is now pretty dead to me, got the brilliant idea that we should rent scooters to head to the beach.
You can tell this photo isn't actually me because this woman is smiling instead of looking like she is going to barf or cry.
Now, I may have mentioned a time or two that I'm the only single woman in my family. So, we had three married couples, four single guys, and yours truly. Your truly, it should be said, is truly terrified of machinery and driving of any kind. I'm like the opposite of a daredevil (dare angel?), and cars and other motorized vehicles frighten me (note: this is not a "girl thing" just a thing for this girl.) Of course, the married ladies all promptly decided to ride with their husbands, and the boys were all totally pumped about getting their own bikes.
After momentarily pouting about not having a boyfriend to ride with and being forced to tag along with a cousin or my little brother, I decided to buck up and be an independent woman. I don't need a man, right? RIGHT? Right. I gave myself a little mental pep talk--"You don't need your view to be the back of some guy's head. You can see the world for yourself! And you totally WON'T crash and die, really..."--and I forked over my Euros for my own little four-wheeler (yeah, two wheels are not enough for this bad driver, thankyouverymuch). I was TERRIFIED but determined.
We had to make an immediate pit stop for gas, and as the last person finished fueling up, we got ready to go. Unfortunately, I couldn't get my four-wheeler started back up again (I told you I am bad with vehicles). I shouted to my cousins to wait, but well….they took off anyway. Only my cousin (and current best roommate ever) Ryan bothered to stay and help me, and by the time we managed to get the motor running, everyone else had left us far, far behind. We were stranded in Mykonos with no map, and not a clue where we were supposed to be meeting everyone. Thanks guys. We were livid.
Lesson learned: Seriously, everything would be so much easier if I had a man. No matter how hard you try as a single gal, you just can't keep up with the couples! No, I'm totally kidding. The real lesson is more like: Don't rent scooters in a foreign country with a group of 11 and only one map. Morons! Even though it got a little nervewracking (and I drove at the speed of molasses), it did feel good to do it on my own. It was even kind of fun! And we did eventually find our family, and we had a gorgeous and relaxing day at Super Paradise beach. Plus, I rewarded myself with a massage on the beach for all my trouble. Worth it!
Not a bad place to spend a day, huh?
Have you ever tried to be independent and failed? Were you still proud of yourself for trying? And seriously, how rude are my cousins?!? (Kidding, I love you guys!)

So this is what I wore for my last day of college, its pretty simple but it did get me some compliments 😀
Also even though I've had my last official day at college, I still have to go in for exams. I have 6 left!
I hadn't really made any plans in advance, as I didn't really know who I wanted to spend my last day with or what I wanted to do.
As college was over and we were all heading out, I began to feel kind of sad, the end of college means the start of change. I'm not very good at embracing change, despite my best efforts, I often find myself looking back on the way things used to be.
In a few weeks I'll be 18, in a few months many of my friends will be off to University in different cities all over England and I currently have no solid life plan.
Anyway, as I walked out I was actually going to go home but then I went to say goodbye to a couple of friends who I've known for over 10 years. It's so weird to think that I've known them for more than half my life.
Then I ended up going for lunch with a group of friends then to see 'X-men: Days of Future Past', in the evening. The movie was amazing by the way, so if you've been thinking about seeing it, go for it as you wont be disappointed.
I'm the kind of person that puts a lot of stress/significance on little things like 'my last day at college', so it was imperative to me that the day turned out amazingly.
The day didn't turn out anything like how I thought it would though, it was so much better. Definitely a memorable day!
XO lmg

Oh eBay, why do you temp me so? Haha! This is something I recently discovered existed, I've always wondered about the famous Banana Powder from Ben Nye but from most reviews I've heard its not a good choice for us pale girls. This however, has no colour meaning its the perfect thing for transparent skin! Let me explain!
The packaging is maybe a little inconvenient, no nice big lid to tap the product into and for brush swirling. Aside from this, this powder is perfect. Its the type of powder I think clowns and performers and such would use to keep their makeup in place without effecting their look too much. It sets the makeup beautifully, you could literally pack this stuff on and you wont look cakey – trust me, I've tried it. For someone who's pale, transparent setting powder is something from a dream! So this completely colourless powder is just wonderful. It manages to set your makeup without altering its finish to drastically. Ever applied a nice dewy foundation and then set it with powder and regretted it immediately? yeah.. Of course this powder mattifies the skin, any powder will, theres just something about it that lets the foundation shine through. It also helps with controlling oily skin too! I really can't say enough good things about this powder! I actually love it so much! Its my go to powder, not only does it help keep me matte throughout the day, it doesn't cake up and it doesn't hide my foundation.
Its pretty hard to find online in the UK, however I got mine from eBay with no problems at all. The seller I used shipped super quick and I had my powder within 2 days of my payment. – link.

Northumberland County Council is backing a campaign launched by Balance, the North East Alcohol Office, to raise awareness of the link between alcohol and seven types of cancer in the run-up to the festive period.
Almost one million North Easterners are ignoring Government health guidelines and drinking at levels which are putting them at greater risk of seven types of cancer.
A survey carried out by Balance revealed that almost 2 in 5 of the region's adults, around 813,000 people, are regularly drinking more than the recommended daily limits. These are two to three units for a woman – no more than a standard 175ml glass of wine – or three to four units for a man, which is a pint of strong lager.
Evidence shows that if you regularly drink above the guidelines the risk of developing cancer is higher than non-drinkers.
However, more than 9 in 10 people in the region who regularly drink above the recommended limits believe they are light or moderate drinkers.
These concerning statistics have led Balance to launch its campaign to raise awareness of the link between alcohol and seven cancers including mouth, pharyngeal (upper throat), oesophageal (food pipe), laryngeal (voice box), bowel cancer, breast and liver.
Many of us often underestimate how much we drink, not realising we're drinking at risky levels and in turn increasing our risk of developing cancer. Balance's campaign aims to make people aware of the hidden harms associated with alcohol and encourage people to think about their intake and, if necessary, cut back to help reduce their risk.
Coun Susan Dungworth, cabinet member for adult care and public health at Northumberland County Council, said: "There are lots of risk factors that contribute to cancer, but there is also a proven way to cut your risk of cancer – cut back on the amount of alcohol you drink. More than 800,000 North Easterners are increasing their risk of cancer by drinking above the recommended limits. It's never too late to stop."
The campaign will see a hard-hitting advert aired on television screens over a four-week period from Monday. The advert features a woman enjoying lunch and a glass of wine with her partner when she spills some of her drink on her top. The stain changes to show a growing tumour on her breast.
Visit reducemyrisk.tv for more information and to find out more about Balance and the campaign visit www.facebook.com/balance.northeast and @BalanceNE and #7cancers on Twitter.

Pacers backup swingman Evan Turner will not play in Game 1 on Sunday due to strep throat. Turner has been a disappointment in the postseason, throwing hands at Lance Stephenson during the first round and shooting just 33.3 percent in 14 minutes per game against the Wizards.
Evan Turner is inactive for today's game with strep throat. Solomon Hill will be on the active roster.

The 2014 ESPM Graduate Student Association's (GSA) Faculty Mentor Award was recently given to Professor Carolyn Finney for her commitment to mentoring and helping graduate and undergraduate students succeed.
In announcing the award during the GradFest Symposium in early May, GSA president Guillermo Douglass-Jaimes gave the following statement:
I am honored to present this year's faculty mentor award to Carolyn Finney. The faculty who were nominated this year were truly spectacular, which made the decision of whom to award that much more challenging. How do you adequately compare such vastly different people with different approaches and different styles of mentoring, who operate in different spaces and mentor different people? Well, thankfully, Carolyn Finney examines difference in her scholarly work and community engaged practice. And perhaps it is this engagement with difference that has drawn many students to seek her out, to work with her, and ultimately to nominate her for this award.
Though the decision of whom to award was difficult, the decision to award Carolyn Finney was unanimous. Carolyn received the most letters of nomination for the award and had the broadest support across the department, reflecting Carolyn's commitment to mentorship both within her own lab, as well as to those in the department who sought her out.
Some students get to know Carolyn from her graduate seminar, "Race, Identity, and Environment;" others from the various panels she has participated in, as well as the guiding committees, oral exam committees and dissertation committees on which she has served. And many students expressed the idea that Carolyn is unique. They find that they can't do their work here without her; this sentiment was expressed by not only the students who were drawn into this department to work with Carolyn, but also for students who later learned about her work.
Carolyn is an inspiring figure, who not only talks the talk, but walks the walk, and shows us through example what it means to "take risks" in the pursuit of producing knowledge that challenges the status quo, a pursuit that the students who work with her and who have looked to her for advice no doubt will take heed. One student remarked, Carolyn Finney "…is the embodiment of what it is to act through one's scholarship. She trains her students to engage in community services through her example. Dr. Finney's integrity, exemplary demonstration of service and far reaching scholarship has made cross-disciplinary dialogue comprehensible and relevant to all whom engage her. Her consult and mentorship is solicited not [only] from students across UC Berkeley campus and departments, but from organizations and institutions of higher learning across the globe."
Another remarks, "not only does she help students tackle diverse problems along our doctoral paths, Dr. Finney inspires a creativity and vibrancy in our research that is absolutely crucial to the future of our department, and the possibilities of academia at large." Additionally, she brings together students from across this university who have since formed collaborations for further work.
Carolyn has also been instrumental in securing funding for her students, where, "[n]early all of her students have received prestigious awards such as the National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship Program award and the Ford fellowship. Several more of her students have gone on to launch their own community based service non-profit organizations." And finally, "[b]ecause she makes graduate students a priority, her presence improves the quality of both their experience and the work they produce."
Talking about Carolyn Finney, one cannot help but speak about difference. Difference, the subject of study which most of the students who have worked with her seek to examine. Difference, which Carolyn examines through relationships that connect multiple forms of identity and the environment. Difference, as our own chair Ron Amundson so often calls us to do in his weekly departmental messages to "Think Different." Carolyn doesn't just "Think" different, she LIVES and EMBODIES difference, and she shows her students and everyone around her how to BE different and how to ENGAGE difference and how to MAKE a Difference. It is my honor to present this year's Faculty Mentor Award to Professor Carolyn Finney.

Morgan Stanley Climbs to Second Place in Annual Ranking of Sell-Side Analysts
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - May 12, 2014) - Bank of America Merrill Lynch captains the 2014 All-Asia Research Team, Institutional Investor's exclusive annual ranking of the region's best sell-side analysts, for a fourth consecutive year. It secures a spot in all but one of the survey's 33 sectors and is deemed the best in 13 of them.
Complete survey details can be accessed here.
Rising one rung to second place is Morgan Stanley, the only firm in the top five whose team-position total increases this year. It claims a spot in 29 categories, two more than last year, and is on top in seven.
Two firms share the third tier, Credit Suisse and UBS. Their 26-position totals reflect a loss of two spots for the former and one for the latter. Citi rounds out the top five, advancing one level even though its total falls by two, to 22.
Survey results reflect the opinions of roughly 2,940 investment professionals at more than 950 institutions that collectively manage an estimated $1.58 trillion in Asian equities.
BofA Merrill is the first firm to top all four of II's Asia regional surveys in a single year. In addition to heading the All-Asia Research Team, it extends its winning streak on the All-Asia Sales Team to a third year, rises one rung to lead the All-Asia Trading Team for the first time, and for a second year in a row shares the winner's circle with Morgan Stanley on our roster of Asia's Top Corporate Access Providers.
