According to the photographer, Carlos Vera Mancilla, the girl then "reacted and stood before the policeman with a defiant look".
- Las Hijas de Violencia is a group of Mexican women fighting against street harassment by firing confetti guns at the harassers and singing punk music.
With the purpose of fighting street harassment, the Mexico-City-based women created a performance art group. What the group does is sing their theme song, "Sexista Punk", and fire confetti from a toy gun at the harasser every time one of the group members is catcalled when out in public.
- Megan Hine is a survival and nature expert working closely with adventure-seekers, including Bear Grylls, and providing expert advice to keep these people safe in dangerous and isolated locations.
Her interview with The Guardian reveals that she's survived a lion attack and an armed drug gang chase through a jungle. She also said that she could light a fire with a tampon.
- Balkissa Chaibou is the woman who refused to be married to her cousin when she was 16 thus risking her life. Today, she's an activist who takes a firm stand against forced marriage for girls. She is also a medical student as her dream has always been to become a doctor and help people.
In an interview she gave for the BBC, she said "When I was little, I was dreaming of becoming a doctor. Take care of people, wear the white coat. Help people. The advice I have for you is to fight – study with all your might. I know studying isn't easy but you must force yourself because those studies are your only hope."
- Amna Suleiman is the leader of a group of women cycling in public in Gaza, thus opposing the unwritten ban on women to cycle after puberty.
What Suleiman does is help other women challenge cultural norms by supporting cycling in public for women, which is regarded as violating "social decency and tradition".
In her interview for the New York Times, she said "Riding a bike makes you feel like you are flying. I feel free."
- Marley Dias is an 11-year-old girl who happens to be a collector of books about black girls. She's also a campaigner promoting diversity in children's literature.
So far, Dias has collected over 7,000 books about black girls and, with her #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign, she is advocating for more diversity in children's books.
In the interview for American Libraries, she said "In my fifth-grade class, I saw that books weren't featuring black girls, and those were the books being assigned. So I told my mom, and she said, 'Well, what are you going to do about it?' So that's really how the campaign started. It's something I'm really passionate about."
- The three judges who convicted a commander for rapes committed by his troops during a 2002–03 conflict in the Central African Republic, and thus made history.
The three judges – Joyce Aluoch (left), Sylvia Steiner (middle), and Kuniko Ozaki (right) presided the first rape conviction at the International Criminal Court, and found former Congolese vice president Jean-Pierre Bemba guilty of murder and rape during the 2002–03 conflict in the Central African Republic.

According to the players, they're fighting to change the way their country is perceived by the international community, but also to raise awareness of women's rights issues.
In an interview for Reuters, Khpalwak, who has been rejected by her family and has received death threats because of her role in the orchestra, said "I will never accept defeat. I will continue to play music. I do not feel safe, but when people see me and say, 'That is Negin Khpalwak', that gives me energy."
- Maminydjama Maymuru is the first ever Aboriginal model.

- The thousands of women in Iceland who left work at 2:38pm in order to protest the gender pay gap in the country.
According to experts, there's an estimated 14–18% pay gap between women and men in Iceland. This means that in an 8-hour working system, women are only paid for their work until 2:38pm.
- Tess Asplund is a woman opposing 300 neo-Nazis at a far-right demonstration in Sweden.
Asplund told The Guardian, "It was an impulse. I was so angry, I just went out into the street. I was thinking: hell no, they can't march here! I had this adrenaline. No Nazi is going to march here, it's not okay."

Since the kudzu bug showed up on soybeans in Georgia, South Carolina and parts of our state in 2010-2011, there has not been a reported infestation on a commercially planted soybean field until the first generation kudzu bug adults have developed.
From observations in previous years, kudzu bugs emerge from over-wintering and migrate to hosts.
In the spring of this year, we have had reports of kudzu bugs on all sorts of non-hosts (humans, houses, fig trees, grapes, wheat, cotton, and a magnolia tree, to name a few), hosts on which they feed and may or may not reproduce (e.g., legumes such as wisteria), and the major host of this pest, kudzu plants.
In 2010 and 2011 adults moved from over-wintering sites through the landscape until they found kudzu and laid eggs, which developed as nymphs to the adult stage (first generation). These first generation adults then moved onto soybeans, stayed on kudzu, or moved to other legume plants. They then laid eggs, which resulted in the development of a second generation of kudzu bugs for the year.
This year I have seen a glitch in this pattern, as kudzu bugs have been found in low densities on soybean seedlings in scattered areas of North and South Carolina (see previous blog post). These areas are all in areas where kudzu bug was confirmed as present in 2011.
The recommendation has been to focus treatment on the kudzu bugs that arrived in soybeans and the resulting second generation of nymphs. A preliminary threshold of one nymph-stage bug per sweep (i.e., 15 nymphs per 15-sweep sample) is recommended and may help reduce the need for multiple sprays in reproductive stage soybean.
Georgia, South Carolina trials
This is based on multiple trials in Georgia and South Carolina in 2010 and 2011. But how do we deal with kudzu bugs this early in the season?
Remember that adults present in the field during this time of the year are adults that have over-wintered last year. They are laying and have laid eggs that will develop into the first generation of kudzu bugs for the year. This impacts how we manage adults in May:
• Managing populations of kudzu bugs that are found in the homeowner landscape will not impact population densities in soybeans (see homeowner recommendations). Homeowners (especially ones who grow soybeans) may think that by killing kudzu bug adults they find in and around their home (e.g., bugs on a fig tree) will reduce later populations in soybeans. This is simply untrue for this prolific and mobile pest.
First generation kudzu bugs are developing in the surrounding natural landscape and will infest soybeans despite our best efforts.
• I do not know if treating adults on volunteer soybeans or those that are currently present in soybean fields will impact population densities in soybeans later in the season. If soybeans are treated now, there is a chance for re-invasion.
Remember that the adults are moving around and are mobile. Furthermore, in areas of the state surrounded by kudzu, kudzu patches will provide a source for these insects to develop and move into soybean fields.
Finally, we do not know whether the first generation of this insect can complete development (from egg to adult) on soybeans alone. The second generation can easily complete development on soybeans alone.
• I do not know if kudzu bugs can cause a yield loss when feeding on soybeans this early in the season. If you decide to spray, not only do you risk re-infestation, but you may be throwing away money. Soybean plants have the ability to compensate for injury, especially when this occurs early in the season.
In conclusion, I am unsure of the "correct" management action to take against kudzu bugs in soybeans at this point in the season, simply because this behavior is new and there are no data.
My advice is to carefully consider each individual case. Ask yourself about the characteristics of the surrounding landscape, if kudzu bug was an issue on soybeans in your area last year and where the kudzu bug population is in terms of its life cycle before making a decision.
Hopefully, I can give you a better answer than this in the near future.

The European Union and Commission are active in three areas relevant to Urban Access Regulations, in Air Quality, Transport and Climate Change.
The EU has two main roles with respect to air quality. Firstly to set air quality standards, based on advice from the World Health Organisation (WHO). The second is to agree EU-wide emissions reductions that would be difficult to do at national level - such as those detailed below.
Measures implemented by the European Union (EU) include:
The EU and LEZs
The European Commission sees LEZs as a useful tool to improve air quality. Under certain circumstances the European Commission is prepared to give countries an extension to the date by which they are to meet the air quality targets, but only if they are undertaking all the action that they reasonably could – including implementing LEZs.
The cities and ministries within this Network also feel it is the role of the EU to open up vehicle registrations to other member states to make enforcement of foreign vehicles easier and more formal through EU processes.
The DG Environment of the European Commission has also had a draft voluntary guidance on LEZs, and a full report that accompanies the guidance. It is a public document, but it has as yet no official status, other than a consultants report. If the EU is to take this document forward as an official EU document, it would first go through informal consultation. The CLARS Network would be the one of the consultation methods. If you are a European public authority, please register http://www.urbanaccessregulations.eu/public-authorities with us to ensure that you are involved in this informal consultation if it happens.
The issues and challenges connected to this require action at European or even international level; no national government can address them successfully alone.
The aim of the Commission is to promote a mobility that is efficient, safe, secure and environmentally friendly and to create the conditions for a competitive industry generating growth and jobs.
The European Commission's Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport works on issues such as clean fuels and sustainable mobility, including funding this website. In 2015-7 the DG MOVE is working on 6 non-binding guidance documents for Urban Vehicle Access Regulations, which will be available from this page when they are published.
The key EU transport goals from the latest Transport White paper is to:
Urban Access Regulations play a key role in providing this.
DG MOVE has also published Non-Binding Guidelines on Urban Vehicle Access Regulations.
Transport produces carbon dioxide, so reducing transport emissions through access regulations for example urban road charging is relavant to climate change. See the European Commissions Climate Change page for more details on their climate change policies.

If it wasn't for Jews, Las Vegas wouldn't be the town it is today
If it wasn't for Jews, Las Vegas wouldn't be the town it is today. Proof of Jewish prosperity can be found across the city, especially in its stunning architecture.
Hollywood has shot films here for nearly a century, from early silent Westerns to "Easy Rider" (1969) and "Red Dawn" (1984). But as evidenced in the 2001 cross-country documentary, "Freedom Downtime," people sometimes confuse this Las Vegas with the Nevada gambling mecca.
Located nearly 700 miles east of the The Strip, and founded 70 years before Sin City was first established as a railroad town, Las Vegas, N.M., was an early destination for Jewish settlers hoping to stake a claim in the burgeoning West.
Today Las Vegas is largely a Latino town of about 16,000, located in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, an hour's drive east of Santa Fe.
Its main street is straight out of a Western movie, and its architecture ranges from one-story adobes to Victorian painted ladies. The former synagogue, Temple Montefiore, established in 1886 as the first Jewish congregation in the New Mexico territory, is now the St. Paul's Newman Center. However, the space is still used for monthly Shabbat services on the first Saturday of the month by the Jewish Community of Las Vegas, a 40-family congregation.
While settled by Spaniards in the 18th century, the Santa Fe Trail helped put Las Vegas on the map in 1821. It was the first town that American pioneers came to after hundreds of dusty miles on the Great Plains, and Las Vegas soon became a center of commerce.
With the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1879, Las Vegas became a boomtown, attracting Jewish merchants driven out of Germany by social and economic restrictions. From 1880 to the early 20th century, the city's Jewish population rivaled that of Albuquerque.
Its most prominent Jewish pioneer was Charles Ilfeld, who came to America to avoid the draft in his native Prussia. In 1865, he arrived in Taos, N.M., at the age of 18 with $5 in his pocket. Ilfeld went to work with another Jewish merchant, Adolph Letcher. Hearing that trade in Las Vegas was better, they loaded their goods onto 75 mules and moved.
Ilfdeld's three-story department store, The Great Emporium, was labeled "the largest and finest department house in all the Southwest" by the Las Vegas Daily Optic, a newspaper still in operation today. His business, The Charcles Ilfeld Co., eventually branched out into 20 communities and continued to operate into the 1950s. His building stands at 224 Plaza St., next door to the imposing 1882 Plaza Hotel. On one exterior wall, in faded letters, you can still read: "Charles Ilfeld Co. Wholesalers of Everything."
Las Vegas' synagogue was established in 1884, after Charles Ilfeld purchased the lot for $640; many non-Jewish locals contributed to the construction fund. The building was later moved to Eighth and Columbia streets and modified.
Ilfeld Auditorium on the campus of New Mexico Highland University, where Charles Ilfeld served as president on the board of regents, was established in 1920 in memory of his wife, Adele. The purplish sandstone structure was recently restored, and has been called the finest example of Roman Revival in New Mexico.
Pictures of the Ilfeld family and other Jewish pioneers hang on the walls of La Galeria de los Artisanos, a homey bookstore that's been in the same location at 220 North Plaza for 45 years. Formerly the law offices of Charles Ilfeld's son, Louis, the building is now owned by Diane Stein.
Another prominent arrival was Emanuel Rosenwald, whose building at the corner of the Plaza and Bridge streets, the town's main drag, once sported a large glass and cast-iron awning. Now a storage facility fronted by a faded sign, "Navajo Textiles," it awaits restoration.
The Citizens' Committee for Historic Preservation at 127 Bridge St. has a useful brochure, "Historic Las Vegas, New Mexico: Along the Santa Fe Trail," which provides maps and descriptions of residences of Ilfeld family members and others.
The 1890s saw the beginning of years of economic depression in Las Vegas, and by the 1920s the Jewish population had begun to decline. Restrictions on U.S. immigration prevented new blood from arriving, and many Jewish residents, including Ilfeld, moved to Albuquerque and other large cities.
Jewish Las Vegas in the 21st century is more subdued than in its late 19th century heyday. And while no descendants of the original settlers remain, a new generation of Jews has taken root in this unspoiled Western town.
Newcomers include Ken and Carol Weisner, owners of Victory Alpaca Ranch, and Francis Salman of nearby Salman Raspberry Ranch, which features a 19th century hacienda and a u-pick farm.
Some 40 families belong to the Jewish Community of Las Vegas. There are baby-naming and b'nai mitzvah ceremonies, and the Jewish holidays bring out a fair crowd to the St. Paul's Newman Center.
Las Vegas resident Michael Immerman said that the Jewish community continues to thrive here. In lieu of a regular synagogue space, "[religion] is pretty much done in everyone's home," he said.

|Potential Number Of Units Affected:
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 Tribute vehicles manufactured October 5, 2006, through September 11, 2010. The affected vehicles have a steering torque sensor that may not be able to properly detect driver steering input. As a result, the system could remove the Electric Power Steering (EPS) assist.
If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Mazda will notify owners and dealers will update the software for the power steering control module (PSCM) and the instrument cluster module, free of charge. If a vehicle shows a history of a loss of the torque sensor signal or fault codes relating to the PSCM when the vehicle is brought in for the recall remedy, the affected components will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in July 2014. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-248-295-7859. Mazda's number for this recall is 7614E
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

What is the bedroom tax?
The 'bedroom tax' is a reduction in the Housing Benefit you are receiving towards your rent for having more bedrooms than the Government determines your household needs. This means that you will have to pay the difference between your Housing Benefit and your rent.
You wont have to pay the bedroom tax if you or your partner have reached state pension age.
If you require an extra room to store equipment related to your sight loss or another disability or medical need, you might be entitled to claim Discretionary Housing Payments (DHP) from your local authority to cover the shortfall on a temporary basis. Contact your local authority for more information on how to claim.
It is important you are receiving all the benefits you are entitled to. For more information on what benefits might be available to you, visit our benefits pages or call our Helpline on 0303 123 9999.

Article Title
Efficacy of Error for the Correction of Initially Incorrect Assumptions and of Feedback for the Affirmation of Correct Responding: Learning in the Classroom
Document Type
Participants completed 5 classroom examinations during which the timing of knowledge of results (no feedback: Scantron form; delayed feedback: end-of-test, 24 hour delay; immediate feedback: educator, response form) and iterative responding (1 response, up to 4 responses) were manipulated. At the end of the semester, each participant completed a 100-item final examination which included 10 items randomly selected from each classroom examination, plus 50 entirely new items. Neither the source of feedback nor the number of responses permitted influenced performance on classroom examinations but both factors interacted significantly to enhance the final examination performance of participants provided with immediate feedback and iterative responding. The correction of initially inaccurate strategies by combining immediate feedback with iterative responding was not differentially effective as a function of information source: educator or the Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique (IF AT) form. For these participants, response identification accuracy, confidence ratings, and retention were higher and inaccurate perseverative responding was lower. Performance on the final examination permits the preliminary quantification of how immediate feedback coupled with iterative responding, when used during classroom examinations that contain items that will be repeated on a cumulative final examination, not only assesses student knowledge but also teaches in a manner that promotes the retention of course materials.

July 21, 2015 — A man who developed a deep joint infection after a hip replacement has filed a lawsuit claiming 3M's Bair Hugger, a forced-air warming blanket, is responsible.
The lawsuit (PDF) was filed by 70 year-old Tommy Walton, a resident of Texas. He is seeking more than $1 million in damages from the manufacturers of the Bair Hugger, 3M Co. and its subsidiary, Arizant Healthcare.
During hip replacement surgery in March 2011, Walton's anesthesiologist used the Bair Hugger to keep him warm. The system consists of a portable heater that blows hot air through a hose into a disposable blanket, which is draped over the patient.
According to the lawsuit:
"As this warmed air rises, it deposits bacteria from the floor of the surgical room into the surgical site. Furthermore, the internal airflow paths of Bair Hugger FAW blowers have become contaminated with pathogens."
According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Walton eventually needed 15 surgeries and had to have his artificial hip replaced. In 2010, the inventor of the Bair Hugger, Dr. Scott Augustine, said his invention is a danger to surgical patients because it can spread bacteria associated with hospital-acquired infections.
Do I have a Bair Hugger Lawsuit?
The Schmidt Firm, PLLC is currently accepting forced-air warming blanket induced injury cases in all 50 states.

The start of the Chris Ash era has been painful, but the progress has been shown nearly every week. All of the progress and hard work finally paid off on Saturday, as the Rutgers Scarlet Knights earned the first Big Ten win in the Ash era, 35-24 over Illinois.
Rutgers went in to Champaign, Ill. in what many billed as the "battle of the bottom" of the Big Ten. Whatever you want to name it, the Scarlet Knights came away victorious in conference play for the first time since 2015 and that's all that matters.
The last win came on a last-second field goal as the Scarlet Knights knocked off Indiana. This time there were no last-minute heroics needed.
It was power rushing attack that ate up Illinois young and undersized front seven. Rutgers rushed for 280 yards and all five of touchdowns on the day. Gus Edwards did most of the work, picking up 90 yards and pair of touchdowns on 21 carries.
Quarterback Giovanni Rescigno was hardly needed, and that was a good thing for this team as he only attempted 10 passes and had 89 yards. Most importantly, he played turnover-free football.
Rutgers ran the ball 47 times on the day, rushing for a healthy 5.8 yards per attempt. It all added up to the Scarlet Knights doing what they needed to do to win a ballgame.
While the offense was busy carving up Illinois rushing attack, the Rutgers defense was doing damage of its own. The Illini were held to just 86 yards rushing, while Jeff George threw two interceptions and was just 20 of 38 passing for 308 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Rutgers' defense was never the problem though, and getting the offense to put up points has been. Seeing both sides come together was a sight for sore eyes in Rutgers nation.
Confidence can be contagious, so it will be interesting to see how Ash and his coaching staff are able to build on this moment. It's clear the team continues to buy in and getting a B1G win is going to only help get this program on the right track.

500 Years Later -- What Have We Learned?
Prolific Christian author bridges the divide between the world's two largest Christian denominations
Contact: Kevin Wandra, 404-788-1276,
SAN FRANCISCO, April 11, 2017 /
Christian Newswire
/ -- Protestants throughout the world will celebrate a monumental event on Oct. 31, 2017: the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. The question remains, though: Will Protestants and Catholic ever be unified? Catholics and Protestants have different beliefs on many key topics, including the office and authority of the pope, sufficiency and authority of Scripture, the Eucharist and the veneration of the saints and Mary, among others. Widely read Christian author and philosopher Dr. Peter Kreeft addresses the aforementioned differences (and more) in his new book, CATHOLICS AND PROTESTANTS: What We Can Learn From Each Other.
While he acknowledges that there still are significant differences between Catholics and Protestants, Kreeft emphasizes that they agree on the single most important issue: justification. He's direct, simple and even confrontational, but he takes a vertical, not horizontal, approach by "directing arrows not against each other (Protestant or Catholic) but against our own hearts and minds and wills."
In CATHOLICS AND PROTESTANTS, Kreeft provides a fair and insightful path toward bringing Catholics and Protestants into closer union with each other. Above all, Kreeft says that this work is simple, not easy, or obvious, but condensed. It — like all of reality — is Christocentric. Its purpose is to be "like an Australian sheep dog, herding and hectoring Christ's separated sheep back to His face. For that is the only way they can ever return back to each other."
"Peter Kreeft, one of our finest Christian writers today, has given us a passionate plea for Christian unity, one that builds upon the great common core of Christian belief confessed by faithful Protestants and Catholics alike," Timothy George, dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University, says of CATHOLICS AND PROTESTANTS. "A volume full of faith — and hope."

Welfare cuts will lead to rise in suicides, peer warns
Government welfare cuts will lead to an increase in suicides, a prominent crossbench peer has warned.
Baroness Meacher, who led the fight in the House of Lords against planned cuts to tax credits, has told RT's Going Underground programme that the number of people who take their own lives is likely to increase as cuts are rolled out.
She said: "They can't see a way out, and so what I anticipate is that there will be, over time as these cuts play themselves out, there will be an increase in the numbers of people who cannot go on and who take their lives.
Baroness Meacher said the number of people who take their own lives is likely to increase as welfare cuts are rolled out
"We will have an increase in suicide I think."
Baroness Meacher has previously called for statistics relating to the suicides of people facing benefit cuts to be published.
She said ministers need to think about how they will support vulnerable people who face a potential "horrible downward spiral".
"We do know that employment is good for people but what the Government doesn't take account of are all these people - the carers, the disabled and other groups - who cannot earn an adequate income for themselves, they can maybe only do 10 hours a week or whatever it is," she said.
"I think the Government has something they need to think about and need to answer.
"What are you going to do about these very vulnerable people, and there are lots of them.
"We now know that three and a half million people have been taken to court in one year for non-payment of rent and when they go to court they then get court costs added to their debt.
"You have this horrible downward spiral for these people who are anyway in trouble, quite likely either to be disabled or to have a disabled child."
The full interview will be broadcast on RT's Going Underground programme at 11.30am on Wednesday.
A Department for Work and Pensions spokeswoman said: " Suicide is a tragic and complex issue and it is misleading to link it solely to a person's benefit claim."

In Africa, where Internet access and bandwidth are limited, it's not cost-effective or feasible to establish and maintain a connectivity for security and surveillance applications. That challenge makes it almost impossible to build a service that detects, with facial-recognition technology, if someone entering a building is authorized to do so. To meet the final-year research requirement for my undergraduate studies, I developed a facial-surveillance system. Armed with a background in computer vision, I decided to push the limits and see if I could build a surveillance system that does not require recording long video footage.

If you're like most consumers today, you engage more with pictures or videos on a website than text. The stats don't lie - four times as many visitors would rather watch a video about a product than read about it, and sites with compelling images average twice as many views as text-heavy ones.
During both my computer science studies and work in the tech field, there have not been a lot of women present. While our ranks have grown, women still make up only a small percentage. In many ways, I think the traditionally male-dominated world can be intimidating to women and girls who may be interested in pursuing these types of tech careers.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Finally, as we honor Ty's courage on the battlefield, I want to recognize his courage in the other battle he has fought. Ty has spoken openly — with honesty and extraordinary eloquence — about his struggle with Post-Traumatic Stress — the flashbacks, the nightmares, the anxiety, the heartache that makes it sometimes almost impossible to get through a day. And he's urged us to remember another soldier from COP Keating who suffered, too, who eventually lost his own life back home, and who we remember today for his service in Afghanistan that day — Private Ed Faulkner, Jr.
At first, like a lot of troops, Ty resisted seeking help. But with the support of the Army, the encouragement of his commanders, and most importantly, the love of Shannon and the kids, Ty got help. The pain of that day, I think Ty understands, and we can only imagine, may never fully go away. But Ty stands before us as a loving husband, a devoted father, an exemplary soldier who even redeployed to Afghanistan.
So now he wants to help other troops in their own recovery. And it is absolutely critical for us to work with brave young men like Ty to put an end to any stigma that keeps more folks from seeking help. So let me say it as clearly as I can to any of our troops or veterans who are watching and struggling: Look at this man. Look at this soldier. Look at this warrior. He's as tough as they come. And if he can find the courage and the strength, to not only seek help, but also to speak out about it, to take care of himself and to stay strong, then so can you. So can you.

Now, there's a lot of Oneohtrix's usual synth-rife affair on here, but there are a couple tracks that stand out to me from both a visual and audio standpoint, but I'll elaborate more on those when we get to them, but for now enjoy some of that synthesized sound that OPN does ever so well (note: this is the Rifts version of the track, which is longer and better quality)
Oneohtrix Point Never - Zones Without People [click to download] |HTML5|
This was the first standout I was talking about, it deviates from OPN's usual MO and is mostly sample based, something he'd come to again on his latest LP, Replica. But what stood out to me the most was the sample itself, it's only a few seconds long, but the things done to it sound amazing. After doing some snooping I found that OPN makes stuff like this mostly in Audacity, which got me to thinking I could do it too. But once again, more on that later.
Oneohtrix Point Never - Angel [click to download] |HTML5|
There are a couple other tracks that deviate on here, adding some beats into OPN's usually melodic productions. This is the first and also my favourite of the two, Chandelier's Dream. It reminds me a little of the Arcade High LP I posted a bit on not too long ago, and to a lesser extent OPN's other side project simply entitled Games.
Oneohtrix Point Never - Chandelier's Dream [click to download] |HTML5|
It's not long before some synth heavy stuff comes along again though, this time with an almost early 90's videogame vibe. It still revolves around OPN's tried and tested arpeggio based production, but that is in no way a bad thing because he very consistently pulls it off, and this track is short enough that it's not too obnoxious.
Oneohtrix Point Never - Heart Of A Champion [click to download] |HTML5|
Finally, the other standout track to me, and an almost perfect end to the LP. This and the stuff OPN made for the Eccojams Vol. 1 tape have been in constant rotation by me while making art things. I definitely advise you to check out the dvd, or even OPN's YouTube channel, which has slices from the DVD on it. You can find him at SunsetCorp.
Oneohtrix Point Never - Nobody Here [click to download] |HTML5|
I've dabbled in a few of these sample based jobs myself, I have the basic sound down but I can't quite manage any further edits without it sounding strange, if you're interested you can find it over on my SoundCloud. Also if you are interested, give it a crack yourself, Audacity is a free program and isn't massively difficult to learn.

Oh come on, Beyoncé didn't need Jay Z to accompany her to the Met Gala
Beyoncé arrived at the 2016 Met Gala sans Jay Z, and, of course, his absence was noticed. But it really shouldn't have been such a big deal.
More: Still hunting for Becky? Beyoncé gave a major clue as to who she is not!
Beyoncé is a strong, independent woman, and she certainly does not need a date, which is why we find it so hard to believe that she reportedly "begged" her husband to accompany her to the prestigious event.
A source revealed to Hollywood Life that Jay Z flat-out refused to attend the event.
"Jay wanted no part of Met," a source told the publication. "HOV didn't want to be bombarded with questions from every which way. He didn't want Beyoncé's celebrity girlfriends giving him the side-eye and treating him like dirt because of Lemonade. He didn't want his boys who attended to blame him for all the flack their girls are giving him over Bey's songs. And he certainly didn't want to see Solange, given what happened to him in that elevator."
More: Beyoncé partied the night away alone at the Met Gala — where was Jay Z?
There's been a lot of drama surrounding the couple in recent weeks after Beyoncé dropped her latest album, Lemonade, with one of the tracks "Sorry" alluding to her husband's infidelity. So yes, he probably didn't want to have all eyes on him, but that's not really the issue here. The issue is that, according to the source, Beyoncé begged her husband to attend the event.
"Beyoncé begged him to come. She low key wanted to see him squirm under all the pressure he'd be under," the source said. "But he didn't have the guts to come and even told Beyoncé he was feeling sick earlier in the day. She knew he was lying about being sick but she didn't spend too much time trying to twist his arm. She was too excited preparing for the gala."
I struggle to believe that Bey would be so vindictive, especially since the couple recently proved just how happy and in love they still are — Bey recently dedicated a song to her "beautiful husband" — plus she seemed to have a great time on her own.
More: Beyoncé declares her undying love for Jay Z because — duh — they're married
But what do you think? Is there really any reason to believe that Jay Z didn't attend the Met Gala for any other reason than 1. he didn't feel like it or 2. he's done it all before? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), mix the butter, orange zest and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and salt and mix. Add the sifted flour and mix until smooth. Refrigerate 30 minutes. On ungreased cookie sheets, working in batches if necessary, drop level teaspoons of the chilled dough 2 1/2 inches apart. One by one, pick up the dough balls, roll into a smooth ball, and replace on the cookie sheet. Spread about 3 tablespoons of confectioners' sugar on a plate. Dip the bottom of a drinking glass into the sugar and use it to press the dough balls flat, into 1 1/4-inch circles. Repeatedly dip the glass into the sugar as needed to keep the bottom dry and coated. Bake until golden brown around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheets for 2 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and let cool completely.
To assemble the cookies, liberally spread half of the orange cookies with cocoa filling, keeping the filling a little bit away from the edges. Cover with a plain cookie and press together gently to create a sandwich. Store in an airtight container.
Filling: In a small bowl, mix the cocoa and sugar. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the cocoa mixture and the cream and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool; the mixture will thicken as it cools.

Through pictures and statistics Anselmo explained the challenges that face his community where less than half the population have access to a safe water supply. It was a thought provoking talk which reminded everyone present that the public services we take for granted in health, education and utilities or not universally available. Many thanks to Anselmo ,Emma, Lesley and John for providing such an enlightening start to the meeting.
Kim welcomed Sue Locking , our town councillor, and John Hough, our district councillor, to the meeting
Minutes of last meeting read and amended.
Matters arising:
Eileen reported that the new lights are still not switched on at the bottom of Watts Lane. John Hough was aware of the situation and knew that the council were in discussion with the owner of the land near the path and hoped it would be resolved soon.
Dave raised the issue of the unlit street light on the footpath between Little lane and Robinsons lane, Kim agreed to find out who maintained the light and contact them as soon as possible.
James informed the meeting that, regrettably , Brian Shaw had resigned as vice chairman. It was agreed by the meeting that Brian's contribution to the residents association would be greatly missed. A vote of thanks for Brian's efforts was taken at the meeting and Kim agreed to write personally to Brian and thank him on behalf of the committee. James offered himself for election as vice chairman, proposed by Kim and seconded by John Prior this was agreed on a show of hands. James reported that the association funds were currently around £900 and that Brian's efforts in fund raising would be difficult to replace. Sue Locking offered to run a quiz night for association funds, it was agreed to take Sue up on the offer at a later date.
Kim mentioned that there was still a vacancy for secretary and asked the meeting to seek out volunteers for the post.
Dave wondered what was happening with the application appeal for 35 Mount Pleasant, he drew particular attention to the fact that the local school use the junction on Robinson's lane and Mount Pleasant for Cycle training and that if the plans went ahead this would inconvenience the cyclists as they would have to find another junction . John Prior explained that there was a site visit planned for November by the Planning authority, in fact this may have already happened as an official looking party attended the site recently.
John Hough was pleased to report that the Refuse collecting lorries had agreed to change their rotas and that only one vehicle would be operating through the Watts Lane area in future.
Eileen mentioned that there was broken glass on the derelict site that was Browns garage. Kim said that she had been unable to find out who the new owners of the site were from the Estate agents. John Hough suggested a search of the Land Registry should name the current owners.
Meeting closed at 9.10pm

London mayoral candidate vows less red tape
London builder/developer Arnon Kaplansky conceded Wednesday he received a fair hearing before a city group that reviewed his plans for a New Orleans-style restaurant on Oxford St.
But it's the redundancy of having the "urban design peer review panel" scrutinize his plans for 583-589 Oxford St. E. that kills him.
A candidate for mayor, Kaplansky says if elected, he'd eliminate the step to save time and money.
"Not all developers are bad apples," he said after a 40-minute grilling he and his architectural technologist took from three architects, two landscape architects and an urban designer.
"I do beautiful buildings," Kaplansky insisted. "If only they would let me do what I wanted to do. When I am pushed, I react with the Towers of Spite."
He was referring to his plans for a stacked townhousing development on Huron St. at Audrey Ave. near Western University. Opposition from area residents and city hall ended in him leaving behind three disconnected three-storey towers on the site.
Kaplansky said he still plans to somehow finish the development that has become a bit of a North London landmark and testament to disagreement.
Kaplansky's latest tussle with city planners is over plans for a Cajun-style eatery and day care bracketing his salt therapy clinic.
He complained about tinkering the design panel wanted, telling chairperson Steve Ries about "the redundancy to deal with city staff and then deal with you guys. It is mind-boggling."
Kaplansky said the need for an OK from the volunteer body set him back six weeks.
His architectural technologist, Craig Jacobs, clashed openly with architect John Nicholson, who suggested refinements to the front of the building.
"I went for warmth and humanity," Jacobs said. "I don't want everything to look like a box,."
Ries said there was no need for confrontation and his group's role was to look at information from the proponent and measure it against the city's official plan.
The design panel told Kaplansky it would provide a brief with its decision within 10 days. Panel recommendations will be shared at a future public meeting.
Kaplansky has said the city needs a businessperson like him to run it, not a school teacher or politician — a dig at rivals Matt Brown and Joe Fontana.
He has built more than 20 buildings in London and claims a dozen were held up with red tape from city hall. The most stunning example, he concedes, is the three towers on Huron St.

Twitter announced the launch of a new "playbook" for app developers with the first installment being published so far.
The playbook includes what Twitter describes as a series of how-to guides that walk developers through the process of building an app.
A spokesperson for the company tells WebProNews, "We know firsthand that it's hard to build successful iOS and Android apps. We've built quite a few and we've learned a lot about how our partners build apps and tackle problems. At this year's Flight conference, we showed off the power of some of the new features from Fabric with two apps that we created and open-sourced on GitHub: Cannonball, a magnetic poetry game, and Furni, a mobile-first furniture store."
"Based on our experience building Cannonball and Furni, we've organized what we've learned into a playbook," the spokesperson adds. "Part one published today covers prototyping, design and stability, and a new guide will be published roughly every week."
You can check out the first entry of the series here.

3 Tips for Caring for Someone With Dementia
2/17/2012Wandering problems with seniors can lead to serious injuries and even death. For aging Americans who suffer Alzheimer's and dementia, a wandering problem means they probably won't find their way back home without help and proper identification. Anyone suffering dementia, memory loss or Alzheimer's needs special care. If care for a senior with dementia is your responsibility, you can help make both your lives more comfortable and less stressful through these elder care tips:
Comments (0)
Comments (0)
* Reverse roles and offer direction. It's a difficult transition, especially for adult children who care for their own aging parents, but it's important to remove options and set firm schedules. Decide the type and time of meals in advance, choose TV channels and don't ask if they want to take their medicine—provide it and explain that it must be taken.
* Stop expecting them to remember. Memory loss is progressive. Sadly, friends and family are given false hope during times when their loved one has moments of lucidity. However, it's more effective to rearrange your living environment, create medication reminder systems and not rely on a note system.
* Stop correcting and start accepting. Seniors with Alzheimer's and memory loss often confuse past memories with reality. If your loved one is confusing you with a relative who has passed away, instead of reminding them that the person has died, ask them questions about their memories. Listen to their stories. This will reduce their stress instead of growing the confusion and frustration that happens with memory loss.

Brett Ratner's 'Dream' Is to Direct the Wicked Movie
Oh boy.
Brett Ratner says his "dream project" is to direct the film adaptation of Wicked. Oh, you are definitely defying gravity on this one, Brett! He tells the Times that "people who played it safe, they weren't really going anywhere," and that he likes to "challenge" himself. He's already onboard to direct The 39 Clues, and the Wicked movie hasn't seen much movement in over a year, so this definitely falls in "we'll believe it when we see it" territory, but holy God, just imagine Brett Ratner Brett Ratnerizing a talking goatman.

Hot, Humid Architecture
In vernacular architecture there is a strong relationship between site, climate, and the elements of building in the generation of the building form.- Richard Hyde
Prior to the advent of air conditioning, an understanding of local environments enabled southerners to build in ways that buffered the harsh climatic realities. As Europeans moved to the southern colonies it typically took them a generation to adapt their native architecture to the climatic conditions of the region. Five lessons they learned are equally important today.
- Houses one room thick maximized cross ventilation. The thin plans also provided ample light that prohibited mold growth in dark areas.
- The best orientation of this thin plan was east to west to reduce solar gain. The windows were located to catch the prevailing summer breezes.
- Large porches or verandas were always located on the southern side and often on the east and west, too. The verandas protected the house from both the sun and the rain, provided circulation, and created a cool place to sit and sleep in the summertime.
- High ceilings allowed the heat to rise and provided a more comfortable environment.
- By raising the houses off the ground several things were accomplished; it allowed the first floor to be out of the flood plain in coastal areas; breezes are better on the raised first floor; and air circulating under the house helped reduce the heat gain.

More on "Afghani"
Chatterbox instructed readers earlier this week never to trust reporting or commentary that refers to the people of Afghanistan as "Afghani." The correct word, he explained, is "Afghan." Although "Afghani" is a real word, it refers not to the people of Afghanistan, but to their principal unit of currency. Chatterbox made an exception for the term "Afghani Arab," which refers to an Arab who is not from Afghanistan (which is not an Arab country), but who punched his ticket fighting for Allah in Afghanistan before moving on to fight in some other war-torn place.
Chatterbox's earlier item generated protest by a few readers who insisted they were able to find "Afghani" defined in this or that dictionary as a person from Afghanistan. One enterprising reader even pointed out that "Afghani" was so defined on Bartleby.com, whose currency chart Chatterbox linked to in the earlier item. Both the currency chart and the "Afghani" definition come courtesy of TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. To this, Chatterbox responds that American lexicography must have declined since 1997, the publication date of TheAmericanHeritageCollegeDictionary, Third Edition, which has no entry for "Afghani" other than a lower-case one defining it as a unit of currency. Similarly, the Central Intelligence Agency's World Factbook entry on Afghanistan states plainly, "Nationality: noun: Afghan(s) adjective: Afghan."
During the last couple of days, two readers reported hearing the Afghan ambassador to Pakistan, Abdul Salam Zaeef, say "Afghani" on TV in a context unrelated to currency or to Arab alumni of Afghan wars. This was indeed baffling. Although Zaeef's comments on the Taliban's willingness to turn over Osama Bin Laden have been wildly contradictory, one would expect Zaeef to use the correct word to describe people who live in his country. Indeed, there's no telling what horrible punishment the Taliban might impose on anyone who got this wrong. Since Chatterbox was unable to locate the offending usage in a search of the Nexis database and of video clips found on various Web news sites, he can't be sure that these two readers heard Zaeef correctly. For simplicity's sake, though, let's assume they did. (It's certainly possible Zaeef was corrected by a transcriber.) That would seem to undermine Chatterbox's shunning of the word. After a few other readers wrote in claiming to know people of Afghan descent who referred to themselves as "Afghani," Chatterbox found a rebel Afghan Web site, www.afghangovernment.com, that referred to the Afghan people as "Afghani." At this point, Chatterbox realized he'd have to "drill down."
The results of that research are as follows:
Afghanistan is a land of many ethnic groups, hence many languages. The biggest ethnic group is the Pashtuns, who speak a language called Pashto. Accounts vary as to whether the Pashtuns still constitute an outright majority of the Afghan population. But Pashtun kings ruled Afghanistan (often under heavy British influence) more or less continuously from its founding in 1780 until 1973, when King Zahir Shah was ousted and exiled to Italy. The second-largest ethnic group in Afghanistan is the Tajiks, who speak a variant of Farsi called Dari. Today, Pashto and Dari are the twin official languages of Afghanistan (although many other ethnic groups speak many other languages).
In Pashto, the word for Afghan is something that sounds very like "Afghan." But in Dari, the word for Afghan is something that sounds very like "Afghani." The same is true in Urdu, which is also spoken in Afghanistan.
If the people Chatterbox herded into the "Afghani" Hall of Shame had been speakers of Pashto or Dari or Urdu, he might conclude at this point that a retraction was in order. But they weren't. Chatterbox's hall-of-shamers were speaking English. And "the standard term in English," according to Barnett Rubin, probably the best-known U.S. expert on Afghanistan, "is 'Afghan.' "

1997 Onwards -
Below is the text of Mr Major's Commons speech on the BSE Enquiry, made in October 2000.
Mr Major: Like every other hon. Member, I have not yet had an opportunity to study the many volumes of the report, but, from what I have read in the past few hours, it is clear that it is an impressive and objective report. We all owe our thanks to Lord Phillips and his colleagues for the way in which they conducted their inquiry. The Government were right to set up the inquiry and the House will be right to consider its report soberly and to take appropriate action.
All of us, as we read the report, must accept our responsibility for shortcomings and the problems that arose from them. BSE and its transmission to CJD has been a dreadful and scarring experience-
Will the Minister confirm that many of the people who face individual criticisms in the annexe to the report are precisely the same people who are praised elsewhere in the report for other actions and are, by definition, those-
Does the Minister recall that, even though it was believed, and passionately believed, on advice, by those dealing with it, that there was no threat to human life, even so more than 30 pieces of legislation were presented to the House and passed by the House to protect against the spread of BSE? Lord Phillips's balanced report emphasises that some mistakes were made, and emphasises also, in fairness, that they were not due to indolence but, in many cases, where they occurred, were due to overwhelming pressure upon a few key officials who had the particular knowledge in dealing with this. That is a point that I hope will be borne in mind when those officials face any possible disciplinary action in future.
Will the Minister confirm also that it has invariably been the case that those officials and Ministers accepted the advice of the Government's advisory body as, if I may quote the Prime Minister on genetically modified foods -
This is a balanced report and I hope that it will help the House to focus upon the lessons to be learned from that report. That remains important for, as we have seen in the past few days on matters related to vaccines, BSE remains an appallingly difficult problem with which to deal. It was for the previous Government and remains, in some respects, for the present Government and the Ministers and officials who must still deal with it. Will the Minister endeavour to ensure that the provisions of the compensation scheme, which I strongly welcome, are enacted as speedily and fairly as he can arrange? Finally, I thank him for his promise that the Leader of the House will arrange a debate. Can we ensure that, within that debate, there is a proper opportunity to consider in detail the recommendations made by Lord Phillips so that the report does not gather dust but is an active and living document to ensure that such a tragedy does not occur again?

B2B customer life time value
In a post at the B2B Sales & Marketing Knowledge Sharing blog, cites stats from a recent benchmark report.
The report, which was prepared by the IT Services Marketing Association (ITSMA), shows that B2B marketers most rely on three specific metrics to measure the success of their lead-generation activities.
The study's must-have metrics?
They are:
Number of qualified leads
Number of closed deals
Revenue growth.
He argues that an often under utilized metric is just as important:
customer lifetime value (CLV).
He recalls how, in a previous position at a professional services firm, he calculated CLV to help fix an unsustainable business model. Calculating CLV, he says, exposed issues with price points, retention and average account size.
"While it is not commonly used, CLV is one of my favorite metrics to track because it is a 'process' metric," Gillum explains. "It can help guide sales and marketing performance by ensuring that profitability, acquisition cost, and retention rates are being properly measured."
According to him, tracking CLV can serve as an "early warning" that you might be:
Targeting the wrong audience. Too small? Too focused?
Creating the wrong type of leads. Is the value of the lead worth the cost?
Promoting the wrong offer. Are you encouraging the right customer behaviors?
Setting the wrong price point. Did you consider the true cost of the sale?
Having a retention and/or account management issue. "This will show up quickly (the 'leaky bucket')," he notes.
"[I]t is important to track and understand the CLV goal or baseline,"
"Marketers that ignore this important metric are in danger of missing out on an early indicator of top-line performance measures."
The Po!nt: Consider the whole equation. Take a fresh look at CLV as a factor in your overall success. Doing so could highlight challenges affecting the bottom line across your organization. #Seoppcguru
