Yet again, Panasonic has exceeded expectations...
A high-end camera, with the newest low light sensor (featuring large pixel bins),
Superior low light quality, C4K/4K 60p/50p Video Recording, and class leading 4:2:2 10-bit Internal Recording capability.
While the GH5s makes sense for a professional videographer, travelling to any corner of the world, and taking footage in the diverse and low light situations...
It also makes sense for any person looking to upgrade their experience, to capture low light - high speed wildlife footage, or night time travel footage. Including high-end video and movie. And while the 10.28 Megapixel still resolution does not provide the cropping or large printing capability of APS-C or Full Frame Digital SLR, it stands up in terms of image quality and the resolution is adequate for printing up to 16"x20". To see how the resolution matches up, refer to the studio scene in the Imaging Resource "comparometer".

Treasurys Manage Monthly Gain Despite Session Fall
Data Weigh on Bonds But Prices Post Positive Returns for February
A minor pullback in Treasury prices Friday left the market with enough gains on the month to post another set of positive returns, countering widespread expectations at the start of the year that 2014 would be one of rising yields.
Benchmark 10-year notes declined 3/32 in price to yield 2.653%, according to Tradeweb. That yield is flat from where it started the month but down from 3% when the year began. The 30-year bond gained 3/32 to yield 3.589%, while two-year notes were unchanged to yield 0.325%. Bond yields move inversely...

By Nate Raymond and Joseph Ax
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. jury convicted three men on Friday in a massive kickback and fraud scheme while implementing a new payroll system for New York City that eventually cost more than $600 million.
Mark Mazer, 50, who was accused of playing a central role in the fraud, was found guilty on all six counts including conspiracy to defraud the city, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit bribery.
The jury also convicted Dimitry Aronshtein, 53, Mazer's uncle, and Gerard Denault, 52, a former employee at lead contractor Science Applications International Corp, on charges including conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The government accused Mazer and a network of relatives and other conspirators of masterminding a fraud that netted more than $40 million.
Five other defendants had already pleaded guilty to aiding the scheme, including Mazer's wife, mother and cousin, while two others charged in the fraud remain at large and are considered fugitives.
During the trial, prosecutors said Mazer, Aronshtein and Denault pocketed millions of dollars while managing the CityTime payroll project, an initiative intended to modernize the city's payroll system that was originally budgeted at $63 million.
Costs ballooned to more than $600 million as a result of the scheme, prosecutors alleged. Mazer steered business to consulting firms controlled by his co-conspirators and used shell companies to launder and conceal the payments, the government said.
"The jury has found what this office alleged from the outset: these defendants were at the heart of a conspiracy to steal from New York City and its taxpayers," Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement. "Awarded a lucrative contract to design a streamlined payroll system for the city, instead they built a money-making machine for themselves."
The government recovered most of that money after SAIC, the project's primary contractor, agreed in March 2012 to forfeit more than $500 million to avoid prosecution.
Defense lawyers had argued that the three men never took any steps to deceive the city while managing the project.
"The size and the enormity of the dollars is not a substitute for evidence," Gerald Shargel, Mazer's attorney, said during closing arguments. "It's not a substitute for proof."
The jury convicted Aronshtein, who owned subcontractor D.A. Solutions, Inc., on four counts including a charge that he paid bribes and illegal kickbacks to Mazer, a CityTime consultant who served as the principal agent on the project.
The jury meanwhile found Denault, a project manager at SAC, guilty on all but one of the seven counts against him, conspiracy to commit bribery.
Shargel said on Friday he was "obviously disappointed." He and lawyers for the other defendants said they planned to appeal.
U.S. District Judge George Daniels scheduled sentencing for March 12 and ordered the defendants to home confinement in the meanwhile.
The case is U.S. v. Mazer et al., U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, No. 11-121.

New BMW 3 Series gets five-star Euro NCAP award
The latest round of Euro NCAP results are in, and every single car featured has been awarded a maximum five-star score.
The BMW 3 Series is the headline car, although the smaller Peugeot 208 supermini's five-star award is a big deal too because, like the 3 Series, it's likely to sell by the giant bucket load if it follows in the tyre prints of its predecessor.
Any five-star award is a big deal, of course. Four cars were tested this time around, with the Mazda CX-5 and Hyundai i30 - both also likely to be strong sellers in the UK - achieving maximum stars.
All the cars run each other very close in terms of the individual elements of the test, with all scoring very highly for adult occupant protection, child occupant protection, and safety assistance systems.
However, there's room for improvement in the fourth element of the test - pedestrian protection. The highest score was given to the 3 Series, with 78%, while the Peugeot's 61% score is lowest.

In our letter of 4 October we mentioned that
Renault and Nissan were still evaluating their position concerning
the options being considered for implementation of the directive.
Following further discussions with other manufacturers we can
say that both Renault and Nissan support the proposals made to
the Select Committee by the Ford Motor Company.
In our view, implementation of the directive
should provide benefits to a number of interested parties. The
key benefits of the Ford proposals we see as follows:
With regard to timing, within the European Directive
there is the possibility for Member States to implement manufacturer
responsibility for free take-back earlier than 2007. We believe
that it would be both unreasonable and inequitable to have an
early adoption of this article.
The Ford proposals are commensurate with the
draft regulations already published in other major EU car manufacturing
countries. Moreover, they would not handicap the competitive position
of the UK or limit its attractiveness for future inward investment.
Managing Director
Renault UK Ltd
Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd
12 October 2001
In 1999 the parent companies of Nissan and Renault
formed a strategic Alliance, the purpose of which is to achieve
profitable and balanced growth for the two partners through the
creation of a powerful bi-national group. Renault has a 36.8 per
cent equity holding currently in Nissan Motor Limited, the parent
company of the Nissan Group.
Both companies market their vehicles in the
UK through their own and franchised dealerships. In the year 2000,
Renault had a 7.25 per cent share (161,000 cars) of the new car
market, and Nissan a 3.8 per cent share (85,000 cars). The UK
sales and marketing arms of both companies share a single office
site in Maple Cross, Hertfordshire employing some 400 staff.
In addition, Nissan also manufactures and sells
vehicles in the UK. Nissan Motor Manufacturing (UK), based in
Sunderland, was established in 1984 and is the largest car producing
plant in the country. Production in 2000 was 327,701 vehicles
of which some 75 per cent are exported to some 45 countries worldwide.
The factory employs some 4,500 staff and was named in the World
Markets Research Centre 2001 survey as the most productive plant
in Europe for the fifth year running, producing 105 vehicles per
annum per employee.
Early in 2001 the decision was made to locate
production of the company's new Micra car at its Sunderland factory,
following the decision of the Government to award the company
a Selective Regional Assistance Grant of some £40 million.
Production of the new car is scheduled to start at the end of
2002 and will lead to the recruitment of an extra 500 staff at
the Sunderland factory.
By the end of 2002 cumulative investment in
the Nissan Sunderland factory since 1984 will amount to some £2

Community Alert
The ITS Siren Control System solution is designed to give you complete control and monitoring capability of your Community-wide Siren Activation System. Leveraging the tremendous communication benefits of Motorola Solutions ACE3600 smart control RTU and combining with the industry leading HMI InTouch® as the front end, the ITS Siren Control System gives you all the power of InTouch® while providing an easy-to-use interface for your operators and system maintenance personnel alike. The ITS Siren Control System is applicable for both industrial applications as well as community warning systems.
The Map Overview Screen provides an overview of the entire system including alarm conditions and site navigation. Operators can view the overall system at-a-glance from the Map Overview Screen. Clicking on a specific site icon "zooms in" on the associated status screen. The Menu Bar is visible from each screen allowing the operator simple and consistent navigation possibilities from any screen in the ITS Siren Control System. Security access levels "lock" the operator in the ITS Siren Control System by disabling the Windows navigation and shortcut keys without proper access level. Logging in as a System Manager allows the user to perform maintenance such as backups, updates, and report archiving.
The System Command Screen provides the operator the means to activate the sirens by zone. A separate Single Siren Activation screen is available for maintenance purposes. In order to activate the sirens, the operator simply selects the siren(s) or zone(s) and the activation sequence to be activated (confirmed with yellow highlight) followed by pressing the START button. Activation messages are confirmed via "bounce back" prior to initiation to provide the best way to confirm radio channel availability at the time of activation. Siren activation sequences consist of up to 16 individual commands (e.g. tone followed by pre-recorded digital voice message, etc.) and can be sent to any combination of sirens in the system. Each activation is assigned a unique sequence identification number that provides further verification upon siren activation status retrieval.
All siren site status is available at the click of a button either from the Map Overview Screen or from the associated Siren Status Screen. The ITS Siren Control System allows customers to utilize multiple siren manufacturers' hardware (i.e. Whelen Engineering, Federal Signal, American Signal, etc.) and mix-and-match mechanical with electronic sirens to leverage existing sirens as well as adding new sirens. The siren type is displayed for each specific siren on the Siren Status Screen for quick reference. All applicable status is monitored real-time by the co-located ACE3600 RTU either via RS232 link to an electronic siren or via I/O connections to a mechanical siren. Any status not applicable for a particular site is disabled and shown in gray.
The System Manager Screen is only available while logged in with System Manager security access. This screen allows the System Manager to monitor communication statistics for each remote siren site as well as keep track of the last time the site reported in. Current configuration, active status (i.e. is site currently operational in the system?) and current communication states are also shown. This screen also allows the System Manager to upgrade sirens with the click of the mouse. For example, replacing an older mechanical siren with a new electronic siren which allows customers to phase in new sirens slowly as money becomes available. The ITS Siren Control System supports up to 191 siren sites with up to 12 central computer control points.
- Leverage ANY Motorola-based communication including digital Astro IV&D, 800/900 MHz analog trunking, conventional VHF/UHF radio, MOTOTRBO, MOTOMESH, Canopy, etc.
- Combine different manufacturer's sirens (working solutions for Whelen, Federal Signal and American Signal) as well as different models from the same manufacturer including electronic and mechanical sirens in the same system
- Unparalleled activation security with Motorola's 7-layer MDLC Protocol
- Embedded time & date stamp eliminates replicated activations
- Share and combine activation responsibilities as well as siren status information between multiple jurisdictions by deploying multiple central computer control points
- Limit activation possibilities based on current operator log-in
- Siren Activation Reports via Microsoft Excel following "smart" interrogation scheme from all computer control points
- Integrates with WeatherWarn for polygon activation
- Integrates with AtHoc for automated remote notification

Full Text of the Excerpt
- Well, as near as I can remember, they owned that whole area. I don't know whether you go by acres of land—surrounding the house. I can see that old house now. And he could have had more. Yes, wait a minute. I can't tell you how they acquired the land, because when your grandmother came to Durham, her brother—they called Richard Miller—bought her part out from the home place and gave her some money. She was getting ready to come here to your granddaddy. So it must have been quite a lot of land—for all the children to have a part in it. Every one of 'em had a part in it. And I think he sold his part out of it, to grandma. Anyway, he gave her some money. I don't know how that worked. And then Uncle Richard—you see when granddaddy died, from what I can understand—when grandfather died, he was what you called, if Wash had left Willie executive, then the executive—is that what the word for it?
- Yeah.
- Over the property although Richard was the executive over the entire thing. And see by him being the oldest son, they helped grandmomma carry on. And somehow or another they fell out, they couldn't make it. And he took his part and went and built him a store beyond where she lived. And that's where he was living when he married. When he married after grandma died, he married again, then he went back to the home place. I don't know how he got back there, I don't whether he was in business or what. But that's where he died at, the home. place. So his son now owns the home place. It's a kind of tangled up. I was a child, I didn't know too much about it. But you know when you put one child over something that they don't mean to do right, they'll mess up. You have to be careful, who you put over it. But it must've been quite a bit, 'cause granddaddy figured grandmomma couldn't handle it so he fixed it up so that if he died Uncle Richard could help her carry on. And so, somehow or another, along the line they couldn't make it. So she just went downtown and gave him his part and he just went on about his business. But I remember my mother, she was supposed to be coming to Durham the next day. And he met her beyond the fence and when she came back she had a whole lot of money rolled up in her hand. I've never known why he gave her that money. She said, I saw your uncle. I said, I was looking right at you when you saw your uncle. She said he gave me some money. I said for what. She didn't say nothing, she just shook her head. And she went on in the house and went into her room there and put it in a pocketbook. But she still didn't say nothing to grandma. And I don't know what that was about up until the day—but I know I saw her 'cause I was standing behind her. She went right on down to the fence. He whistled for her and she went over there and he gave her a whole lot of money. How much it was I don't know. To this day I don't know why he gave her that. But her mother never did know it. You know, that was unknowned to her 'cause I think they fell out for some reason or another, they fell out. To tell you the truth, I've never know the whole story of why they fell out, but they fell out. And so she just took it in her hand and just told him he could get his part and he went on about his business. But it was a large house, very large. Along then, they'd have the porch here, go all the way around the house. Something like these old—the ranch houses are something like 'em now. Only thing the ranch houses are not up. The ranch houses—you know the ranch houses. Start here with a porch and go all the way around. You'd walk from the living room—from her bedroom, all the way down, clean down a long lane, to the kitchen. Large house. But it wasn't a two story. Compared to the houses now, I wouldn't have it, the way it was built, you know.
- But it seems beautiful.
- Yeah. It was a nice, very nice house. With rooms going to bed. You'd never go outdoors—if you come from her bedroom, by the living room. You start—here's her bedroom, come right on out down the long lane. And you'd walk, and you'd walk. Then you'd get to the kitchen. And then, because when you go indoors you could—yeah, the kitchen, dining room, bedroom, bedroom, bedroom—I'm trying to see if you had to go outdoors to get into—yeah, that's why I said I wouldn't have it. Each time you go in a room, you've got to go on this porch. You see, you couldn't go through. Now I'm seeing it now, why you couldn't go through, but you're still on the porch, you're not outdoors. Go in the kitchen. But you could go from the kitchen to the dining room—that's the only two rooms connected. You go in the kitchen and bring the food from the kitchen to the dining room. But if you go in the bedroom, you've got to go around that lane, go in the door, go out on the porch, and go in the door. That's the way it was built. No I wouldn't have it in this day and time.
- Let's see, what year are we probably talking about. What, nineteen hundreds?
- Yup. Nineteen hundreds. My father came here in '22, he said. I can't remember the year he came here. It must've been 1900.
- Okay, so that means that everybody was brought up on the farm.
- Yeah.
- And I think, in granddaddy's interview, the farm was not owned by the family, but it was rented from a landlord.
- Well now, when he died he owned the house.
- Who was that, granddaddy? I didn't know that.
- Probably didn't go into the details about that. He can't remember. That's why I have to—I'm glad you… Property from this old man, Mr. Dick Tilson, for years and years. Granddaddy did—my grandfather. Well he fixes up in his will—he didn't die but he gave it to him. He gave him enough money to build him a full room house with about a acre and a half of land. That's where we went to when we left here. He owned his home in the end, he did. This old white man gave him some money and he built a four room house and he had a acre and a half of land around the house. 'Cause when we went down there—father and I—we went when the house was about torn down. In the end he really owned his own house. That's where we went to when we left here. That house—he owned that—that was his house.

God Forbid – Force Fed lyrics
What exists around us?
The right to choose free spirit
Master of fate embrace
Time to judge them, aversion to believe the lies
What are we waiting for?
Preserving the right to decide
Unaware of what exists around us
Chasing the dreams, the shadows behind me
Everything's clear
Force-fed awaken realize

Biography Edit
74th Hunger Games Edit
Clove was the female representative from District 2 in the 74th Hunger Games, and an expert at knife throwing. Although she was smaller than most of the other tributes, she was highly feared because of her knife-throwing techniques, an area she is dominant in, and was known to never miss a target. She pursues the Games with a sadistic personality, never upset at the prospect of another death on her hands. Clove, along with her district partner Cato, are suited up in gold Roman themed armor for the parade
Training Edit
The Career pack stuck together during the training sessions and Clove was usually one of the first to flaunt, along with her fellow Careers, Cato, Marvel, and Glimmer. During her private session with the Gamemakers, Clove most likely showed them her knife-throwing skills, though this is never confirmed, and received a score of 10. At this point, Clove and her fellow Careers develop a particular hatred for Katniss, who out scored them with an 11. This hatred evolves into attempts at vengeance later throughout the Games, with varying success.
Interview Edit
She wore a orange dress and was described to be arrogant but sweet. Her Hair was up but messy , Like 'Im Sweet when I want to be '
Bloodbath Edit
Clove makes her first kill in the Games during the bloodbath, when she throws a knife at the boy from 9 and strikes him in the back. Next, she targets Katniss's head, but is thwarted when Katniss shields herself with her backpack. After Katniss flees into the woods, Clove returns to the massacre at the Cornucopia. In the film, she rams the girl from 7 to the ground to allowing Marvel to kill her. During the rest of the bloodbath, Clove also kills the boy from 7 and the girl from 10. Although the Careers usually team up, at the beginning of the 74th Hunger Games, they are also joined by Peeta Mellark, the male tribute from District 12, as well as the male tribute from District 3.
The Games Edit
The night of the bloodbath, the careers venture out to hunt for tributes and come across the female from District 8 It is implied that they killed her, however her cannon does not sound, so Peeta leaves the group to finish her off. In his absence, Clove and the other Careers make the decision to keep Peeta alive in the hopes that he would eventually lead them to Katniss. When the Careers find Katniss, they chase her, and she climbs up a tree to safety Careers mocking The Careers pursue Katniss. Alexisfan07 . The Careers try, but were unable to climb the tree due to the branches breaking under their weight, and instead set up camp below. That night, Rue appears in the tree below Katniss by way of climbing through the trees. Rue motions to Katniss about the tracker jacker nest above her, after which Katniss gets the idea to drop the nest on the Careers. She saws through the branch holding the nest while the anthem plays, to make sure the tracker jackers wouldn't notice a disturbance and come after her, and the Careers wouldn't hear. The nest drops down from the tree and Clove, along with the others, was stung multiple times. In the movie, Clove is first to flee the Career's campsite, making her one of the fastest Careers. Glimmer, the female tribute from District 1, receives enough stings from the tracker jackers that she dies, along with the girl from District 4 in the book. Katniss then jumps down from the tree after all the other tributes have ran away and takes Glimmer's bow and arrows.
Katniss and Rue form an alliance and plans to destroy the supplies that the careers has, back at the cornucopia. Rue has to light fires to make the careers leave the cornucopia and when the careers see the smoke, Clove, Cato, Marvel, and the male from District 3 start hunting down Rue while Katniss successfully destroys all of the remaining Careers' supplies, after which Cato snaps the District 3 male's neck out of anger, because he did his job with placing the explosives too well. Clove and Marvel calmed Cato down long enough to explain to him that the tribute that destroyed their supplies must have died, so they waited for nightfall. Only then did they realize that the "bomber" was still alive, so Clove, Marvel and Cato went hunting for Katniss. The Feast Clove's biggest scene. Clove and Cato form a plan, which involves Clove going in for their District 2 backpack with Cato covering her by scouting the area for hiding tributes. When Katniss came to get the medicine for Peeta, Clove throws a knife at Katniss, which slices her above the eye, and tackles her to the ground, pinning her down. Katniss gives an attempt to bite her hand, but she holds Katniss' head down by her hair. Clove asks her what is in her bag and expresses her hate towards Katniss. She taunts Katniss about Rue's death, and says she is going to give Katniss a slow, painful death -- "I promised Cato if he let me have you, I'd give the audience a good show." She reaches into her jacket to select a knife to cut up Katniss' face, after much debate she decides to start with her lips as she would no longer need them to kiss "Lover Boy." Katniss spits blood into Clove's face, making her flush with rage.
Death Edit
Thresh hears Clove mention Rue's death and quickly grabs her. She starts shouting for Cato, but is killed by Thresh hitting her in the head with a rock, in the book. However in the film, she is killed by being slammed against the Cornucopia multiple times.
Cloves Victims Edit
Clove is able to kill several tributes in the 74th Hunger Games, though the exact number is uncertain. After Clove gains a pack of knives, she throws one in the back of the male tribute of District 9, while he is grappling over an orange backpack with Katniss. She targets Katniss next, aiming a knife at her head, but Katniss blocks it with her pack and escapes. Instead of chasing Katniss, Clove stays to kill more tributes in the Cornucopia. In the film she notably kills the boy from District 7 by throwing a knife into his back and the girl from 10. Clove also kills a lizard for target practice in the film. In the 74th Hunger Games, Clove is the only person who gets close to killing Katniss, twice — at the Bloodbath and at the Feast, and certainly seems to have a deep hatred for her, perhaps because Katniss received a higher score than her.
Catching Fire Edit
In Catching Fire, Katniss and Peeta went to District 2 on their victory tour where they see Clove's grieving family, and tried to avoid eye contact. Katniss states that the appearance in District 2 was awful, and that both the tributes Cato and Clove could have made it home if it hadn't been for her and Peeta. Clove appeared in one of Katniss' nightmares before the 75th Hunger Games. She stabbed Katniss in the cheek and then turned into a mutt and began to lick Katniss' wound, causing Katniss great pain. Clove reminded her that she can't run away from her fears and the Hunger Games themselves, thereafter turning into a mutt and chasing Katniss.
Weapons Edit
In the book it is described that Clove had a large selection of knives that were attached to the inside of her jacket which is also portrayed in the film. The weapons gave Clove a big advantage because of her skill with knives as shown in both the training center and during the Games; she can both throw them accurately and use them in close combat, as shown when she forced Katniss into submission in front of the Cornucopia..
relationships Edit
Cato Edit
In the book, during the feast, Cato showed that he was not completely ruthless, and that he did in fact care somewhat about Clove. While Cato was running towards Clove after Thresh had dented her skull, Katniss stated that as Cato called Clove's name, his voice sounded very "pained," and despite its futility, he begged Clove to "stay with him" as she died. He later avenged Clove's death by presumably killing Thresh. It is hinted that he and Clove might have known each other before the games (since they're from the same district) and had a good relationship (unknown if it was romantic or friendly or he treats her as a sister). However, in the film, Cato instead seemed interested in Glimmer, and Clove and Cato seemed to have no relationship between each other, as he was not shown coming for Clove's aid in the feast when she screamed his name twice. However, this might have been because Katniss left shortly after Clove's death.
Personality Edit
Clove was strong, sadistic, arrogant, violent, dangerous and powerful. Clove is also slightly unhinged, which makes her a feared opponent. She has a strong hatred for Katniss due to her high score given by the Gamemakers. When she captures Katniss at the Feast, she joyfully says she was going to make it a slow and torturous death. Clove was also intelligent, supporting Marvel in his idea to keep Peeta alive to get to Katniss, and is smart enough to go to the lake to heal her tracker jacker wounds, and was also instinctive enough to go back to the Cornucopia instead of chasing Katniss. She was raised with the Career mindset.
Physical description Edit
Clove, like most Careers, was strong, healthy, brawny and fit. She has dark hair, usually in a ponytail or braid, (while her mutt had dark fur) dark eyes, and some freckles. Clove is described as being 5'4," making her slightly smaller than most of the other tributes.
Trivia Edit
◾Clove's name means to cleave, which means to split with a sharp instrument (which makes sense since Clove is very skilled with knives), as seen the night before Glimmer's death when she throws three knives at a lizard. ◾In the film it is shown that she weighs 100 pounds. ◾Clove was the youngest and smallest of the careers, but might have been feared more than Glimmer or Marvel because of her deadly knife throwing skills, and her slight mental problems. ◾It is stated that they made Clove extremely skilled and a little mentally off in the film, due to the fact that Fuhrman was smaller than the other actors who played the Career Tributes. Also, the Career Tributes were supposed to be bigger than most of the other tributes to make them more feared, but by making Clove an expert with knives and a little mentally unstable, she was able to be just as intimidating. ◾In the film, Clove gets a training score of 10, only one point less than Katniss'. Her district partner, Cato also manages to get a training score of 10 during his private session. ◾Her betting odds of winning were 5-1, the same as Marvel and the District 8 girl. That meant she had the highest odds of any female in the movie, and second highest of the careers. ◾Clove came 2nd with the highest betting odds in the careers. She was beaten by Cato, despite this she was the highest female career both times. ◾According to Linda Flowers, the film's hair stylist, Clove's arena hairstyle was inspired by the "bad girls" in Japanese action movies, who had high ponytails. To make it look more original, they made it like little balls coming down her head. ◾She is the only tribute to survive one of Katniss' arrows, in the book. In the movie, Clove is the only one to escape two of Katniss arrows. ◾She is the only career to survive an encounter with Katniss twice. First the tracker jackers, and then two of Katniss' arrows at the Feast. Unlike her fellow tribute, Cato. Cato only survived the tracker jacker and the second time Katniss tried killing him, he died, so did Marvel. Glimmer was the only one, and the District 4 female, to die after Katniss' first attempt at killing them. ◾Clove's dialogue was changed in the film, shortening her speech. Also the beginning of this scene changes, as Katniss does not wrestle with Clove in the books, instead she is cut by one of Clove's knives. ◾In the book, right before Thresh grabs her, Katniss spits in her face, but in the film, she just says, "And now, we're going to kill you..." and raises her knife, then Thresh grabs and kills her. ◾Like Marvel, Clove is killed by the same person in the movie as in the book, but in a different way. In the book, Clove's skull was dented by Thresh's rock. But, in the movie, her skull was split by being slammed head-first into the Cornucopia. ◾Clove was the only member of the original Career Pack to not be killed by Katniss, instead she was killed by Thresh, this is excluding Peeta as he was never killed. ◾Peeta Mellark paints a picture of Clove arranging her knives in her jacket after the Games during the Victory Tour along the way to District 11.

e same, she did not want to pain him. She slipped her small hand into his, and presently she whispered:
"I'll do anything in all the world to please you and mother and Lord Jesus."
"That is right," said the father, who gave a swift thought at the moment to the temptation which he knew was already on its way, and which he would never yield to but for the sake of the child.
The rest of the dinner proceeded without many more remarks, and immediately afterwards Sibyl kissed both her parents and went upstairs.
"Good-night, little Spring," said her father, and there was a note of pain in his voice.
She gave him an earnest hug, and then she whispered--
"Is it 'cos I'm a wicked girl you're sad?"
"No," he answered, "you are not wicked, my darling; you are the best, the sweetest in all the world."
"Oh, no, father," answered Sibyl, "that is not true. I am not the best nor the sweetest, and I wouldn't like to be too good, 'cept for you. Good-night, darling father."<

Country Context

Despite its upper-middle-income status, Turkmenistan is still at an early stage of transition. Indeed, its abundant natural resources have arguably masked the need for a change, delaying first generation reforms such as price and trade liberalization, privatization, and the creation of institutions for market regulation, which began only after 2007.
Tight administrative controls and the public sector's large overall role in economic activity remain the key obstacles to private sector development in Turkmenistan. The public sector and state-owned monopolies continue to dominate the economy and the formal labor market. Foreign direct investment (FDI) remains limited outside the hydrocarbon sector.
Growth remains highly dependent on hydrocarbons and related sectors. After the successful diversification of natural gas export routes in 2009, China became the largest export market for Turkmenistan. Medium-term plans envisage a further increase in natural gas exports to China and other destinations in East and South Asia, at the same time that exports to Russia have come to a halt due to transit pricing disputes.
Exports of natural gas to Iran remain limited. In this context, a planned third pipeline to China and the proposed Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) pipeline, if they materialize, would more than double gas export capacity. Despite the ongoing and planned diversification of markets, Turkmenistan's exports are increasingly dependent on a single large market (China) and continue to be dominated by a single product (natural gas), making the economy vulnerable to fluctuations in global prices beyond its control.

This Dangerous Life
Because everyone needs a little Danger in their life.
Monday, May 27, 2013
Eric Smith of
Quirk Books
sent me yet another fantastic book to review. And I do mean fantastic, as in fantastical. Quirk is quickly becoming one of my top tiered publishing houses. You should check them out. The Resurrectionist, by E.B. Hudspath immediately reminds me of Neil Gaiman. OK, maybe a mixture of Poe and Gaiman, which is a great thing. Everything from the wording to the layout stand out as strikingly different, in a good way. The Resurrectionist packs a punch, as it is actually two stories wrapped together in one book, complete with detailed illustrations. You get hell hounds, dragons, centaurs, and even sirens. But you also get the story of Dr. Spencer Black, spurned on by his grave digging fathers life lessons, gives Dr. Frankenstein a run for his money, to be sure.
You can check out the book here at
Quirk Books
and you can get it
. Also, check out the authors webpage
In the meantime, here is a trailer (I love trailers!):

Challenges to Inquiry Teaching and Suggestions for How to Meet Them
Quigley, Cassie; Marshall, Jeff C.; Deaton, Cynthia C. M.; Cook, Michelle P.; Padilla, Michael
Science Educator, v20 n1 p55-61 Spr 2011
Inquiry has been cited as an essential goal of science education for decades. While terminology has evolved over time, the notion that students need to apply various analytic and thought related skills in order to better learn underlying scientific concepts and processes, remains central to science education. This article looks at four major challenges facing teachers as they implement inquiry based teaching--including measuring the quality of inquiry, using discourse to improve inquiry, pursuing the goal of teaching content through inquiry methods, and learning how to effectively manage an inquiry classroom. An analysis of each of these issues, along with implementation strategies, is provided.

The Academy Awards (being held March 2) bring out all kinds of extreme emotions and opinions from some people, but not me: I'm always totally even-tempered and maintain perspective that, in the grand scheme of things, Oscars don't mean a lot.
Yeah, right. It's easy to get wrapped up in overrated nominees, undeserving winners and the occasional smart choice. On that note, here are my edited, post-deep breath thoughts about the major categories along with the unedited thoughts running through my head.

If you are figuring out the term "lame duck" to be a duck which has been injured and seeks medical help your presumption about the whole issue is absolutely wrong. "Lame duck day" is a day which is framed by the U.S constitution, to remark the succession of triumph of the new presidential candidate to the most powerful chair in the world, "the president's chair". The former president, who has lost is presidential position and is ready to be relieved, but is still enjoying his presidential position is termed as the "Lame duck". It was framed in 1933, on the February 6th as the "lame duck day", former president of the United States Mr.W.Bush, recently went through his lame duck days before he was relieved officially from his duties, he was remarked of going through his lame duck days in many leading press releases and news papers. Even if we are going through our lame duck days, there is no deal to be disheartened or troubled by the situation, because every good thing has to end, as the saying goes, nothing last forever and the prevalent uncertainty in the quick revolving world.
In English dictionary the world lame duck is termed, for a defaulter, who has shrieked his responsibility on terms of his financial liability, but literally according to the U.S assembly it is referred to as the period between the failure and Lame duck day of succession of the new successor, who is christened to abduct the throne from the looser.
This was passed as a 20th amendment, to bring to close the tenure of the failed public servant and was declared a holiday, to pay his respect for the services he has fulfilled towards the government. As the proverb goes, the "lame lion is old and void of teeth to chew", thus thwarted off from its obligations.
Generally, when the defeated party still occupies the throne over a period of time, he and his congress are up to all the mischief, to keep their faults blind from even the most prying eyes, very disastrously from the next powerful government, who is waiting to launch off from its throne. Many lame duck presidents, during the lame duck phase, sway around going for trips, proclaiming the message of world peace to all. Some examples are the trip by W.Bush to the Middle East to establish his declaration of world peace to the gulf region. The visit of Ronald Regan to Soviet Union, to meet up with Gorbachchev, to liaison the terms between the two nations. Some presidents, even express their condolences and pardons to the flaws they have committed during their rule. Like the confession of Bush towards the Iraq war- operation desert storm, which took away millions of life, to capture a lonesome adversary. Every president wants to close of with a high note and not relieve being a lame duck, no matter how people raie their accusation against the lame duck president; a president is always a president. Carter was the most creative of them all; who while leaving his throne wrote a whole text of regulations on human rights for which he is known for, even now. The activity level during the last span of stay at the White house might escalate enormously, to keep their spirit remembered high, with warmth. When Clinton captured the throne, he ridiculed Bush for removing all the W'S from the computers. Ronald Regan released a few hostages as a part of his humanitarian measures, before he got relieved from power. A whole masala of lame duck soup, which quotes the tactic moves displayed by every president, who ever reigned is chronologically recorded. Thus the day "the lame duck day, pays the final adieu to the throne of the rejected president.

Damn this is the only time I haven't got any space. I brought both my laptop and my biochemistry book. But I have a berry flavour you can buy if you want to. PM me or something.
xphilx wrote:me too. send me some from there, it shouldn't be that expensive.
Dude, I'll try and get my GF to find out what shipping would be and she could probably take care of it. But isn't it easier for you to buy straight from the site. I think they ship to Germany..

I feel a lot better today, thanks. But I won't be nice to my girlfriend, never ever.

What is Veganique?
Thanks man. My GF did some steam/oil thing that really helped so I feel a lot better. Italy is probably the best country in Europe anyway (except for Sweden)
Veganique is like vega but without the pea protein, more organic ingredients and cheaper. Otherwise it's kind of a rip off acctually, maca, chlorella, hemp protein, rice protein, berry extracts, tea extracts.
http://www.northcoastnaturals.com is the company that makes it. I think VE sells it.
Lean and Green wrote:Just out of curiosity, how do you prepare your TVP delicacies? Anything interesting? Perhaps I can make something sweet for Dani....
Usually I don't spend too much time with it. The thing I like most about TVP is the simplicity. I open a few cans of crushed tomatoes, chop some onions, cloves of garlic, fresh basil, some white beans and then the tvp. It's like chili con tvp or something. Not really that interesting, sorry.
Lean and Green wrote:10%.. Nice; I think i'm around that myself right now but i'm about to do some serious cutting down as you know.
Yeah I know. Raw keto dieting, first in the world? I do not know how you can handle all that spirulina but cudos to you for doing so.

Home Fire Inspection Request
Millcreek Township Bureau of Fire Incident Response Unit
Emergency Management Coordinator
Matthew B. Exley ENP
Assistant Coordinator
Caleb Dixon
The Millcreek Township Bureau of Fire Incident Response unit responds on all Strucure Fires, Motor Vehicle Accidents with Entrapment, Ejection or Rollover, as well as any other type of reported fire in the township. The unit is made up of 15 Structural Trained Firefighters who are Municipal Employees and respond either in our Rescue Truck (picture attached), to one of our 5 volunteer fire departments to take a fire engine, or respond directly to the scene to provide trained firefighters on the scene immediately during the time of day that it is most hard for our volunteers to crew. The Unit provides Fire Suppression and Rescue services in conjunction with the 5 Volunteer Fire Departments. The unit is in service from 0730-1630 each day and is available for recall for major incidents. The Unit currently uses a 1985 GMC/E-One Rescue Truck and a 2014 Ford Police Interceptor ORS/Command Vehicle.
Millcreek's Supervisors on December 17, 2013 approved ordinances which adopted the 2012 edition of the International Property Maintenance Code and the 2009 edition of the International Fire Code as Township codes.
Millcreek's codes reflect certain amendments to the International Codes, which are published by the International Code Council and adopted by many states and municipalities. In part, Millcreek amended the process of administering and enforcing the codes so as to comply with governing law and existing process. Millcreek's Property Maintenance Code substituted existing Township regulations on certain matters (including numbering of buildings, handling of municipal waste and recyclable materials, swimming pools and vehicles) for those in the International Code.
Millcreek's new Fire Code was adopted by Ordinance No. 2013-13, which noted amendments to the 2009 International Fire Code. Millcreek's new Property Maintenance Code was adopted by Ordinance No. 2013-14, which also noted amendments to the International Code and provided for publication of a stand-alone Township code. Both of these ordinances and the new Property Maintenance Code as adopted are accessible through this web site.
Both codes become effective as of January 1, 2014. After a public process seeking proposals, the Supervisors also awarded a contract to Building Inspection Underwriters of Pennsylvania, Inc. ("BIU") to administer and enforce the new codes.
Fire Code
The International Fire Code has been among those codes adopted as part of Pennsylvania's Construction Code, which governs new construction. Currently, the 2009 edition of the International Fire Code has been adopted as part of the State's Construction Code. For the sake of consistency, the Supervisors adopted the 2009 edition of the Code. Ordinance 2013-13 makes clear that Millcreek's adoption of the Fire Code is not intended to apply to regulation of new construction which is done under Millcreek Ordinance 2004-9. The Fire Code was adopted to ensure that current standards are in place for existing buildings. Ordinance 2013-13 is accessible through the main page of the Ordinances section.
Millcreek's contract with BIU provides generally for three types of services involving the Fire Code. As fire code official, BIU will inspect existing non-residential structures for compliance with fire safety regulations set forth in Chapter 7 of the Property Maintenance Code and/or in the Fire Code as adopted. Upon request, the fire code official will provide inspections and input in two circumstances, both upon request of an owner or occupant:
· Conduct fire safety inspections of existing single-family dwellings, with findings
then being provided to the owner and the Township; and
· Conduct fire safety inspections of existing non-residential buildings as to specific
conditions or processes that do not involve inspection of an entire facility, with
findings then being provided to the owner and the Township.
Property Maintenance Code
*** 2013 Property Maintenance Codes Book CLICK HERE
The Property Maintenance Code addresses minimum standards for interior and exterior maintenance of existing buildings and structures. The Supervisors adopted a Property Maintenance Code largely to protect against deterioration of the condition of buildings throughout the Township by focusing on fundamental standards before conditions deteriorate to the point where an owner will not correct violations. Ordinance 2013-14 is accessible through the main page of the Ordinances section. You can access the entire Property Maintenance Code as adopted in this section.
Initially, BIU will focus its work in two distinct areas, using a similar standard in its inspections. Each year, it will survey areas of the Township assigned by Millcreek to identify any buildings or structures which fail to meet established minimum standards of fundamental safety and stability. BIU will also receive and review complaints received as to conditions of a particular property. Where violations are found to exist, BIU will cite the owner or other responsible party. If violations are not corrected promptly, BIU as code official will bring actions to enforce the code and impose fines for violation.
In general surveys of properties and in responding to complaints, BIU has been instructed by the Township to follow the same standards in determining whether a violation occurs. These standards do not include every technical requirement in the adopted Code, because in both of these cases, the Township's concern is with identifying and resolving serious defective conditions. The initial standard being followed by BIU is to focus generally on matters relating directly to -
Unsafe conditions [such as Sections 304.4, 305.1 of the Code]
Dilapidated or deteriorated property conditions
Exterior areas uncovered and exposed to the elements [see Sections 304.2, 304.7]
Sanitation [Section 302.1]
Weeds, grass and vegetation in excess of 8" height or otherwise violating Section 302.4
Motor vehicles violating Township standards in Section 302.8
Swimming pool standards [set forth in Sections 302.1, 303.2]
Premises identification [Section 304.3]
Insect screens [Section 304.14]
Rubbish and garbage standards [see Section 308]
Generally, BIU will provide an owner with written notice where a violation has been found, and the owner will be given an opportunity to rectify the violation with a date being set for a second inspection. Services to this point are within the Township's contract with BIU. The Township likely will establish a schedule of fees for any additional work required by an owner's failure to take action by the second inspection, etc.
Additional Inspection Programs
Millcreek anticipates establishing programs of regular inspection of residential rental properties and commercial properties, which would become effective as early as 2015. Largely for this reason, the Township will not process tenants' complaints until the rental inspection program is established and can treat similarly used properties in a consistent way.

The Documented Life: Feb. 22
Week Nine: Collage something you recycled
Look closely - can you spot it?
This challenge should be called "recycle something you can reach without getting up".
I literally bent over, looked into my studio garbage can and saw an M&Ms bag sitting right on top. I smiled and thought, "perfect!"
I cut out the colorful candy portion of the packaging.
I grabbed a yellow and an orange fluid acrylic and applied them rather haphazardly using my hotel room key card technique.
I glued on the wrapper and book paper with a Uhu glue stick. I added pink and white fluid acrylics over the page again very randomly.
I added black skinny washi tape and daubed on pink acrylic through a flower stencil.
I decided I wanted a touch of green on the page as well. I doodled around the flowers in black pen and then added lots of white dots with a Sharpie paint pen. I added a word and called it done.
