The Mexican singer and actress Thalía, joins the 'Imagine' initiative launched by UNICEF with celebrities from around the world in favor of the children's rights.
Also a cyberambassador of UNICEF Mexico, she said that she's "happy to join this initiative by UNICEF with a legendary song that has inspired many generations of people through the universal language of music. Hopefully my participation serves to take my country and around the world the need to seek peace and welfare for all, especially for children, who are always the most vulnerable".
The Video of the Mexican performing the song was released on Tuesday at 15:00 on UNICEF Mexico's Twitter.
Thalía joins the list of celebrities who have joined the campaign like Katy Perry, Angelique Kidjo, Pau Gasol, Neymar, Daniela Mercury, Priyanka Chopra, Yuna Kim, Adam Lambert, Nicole Scherzinger, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, UNICEF's Executive Director Anthony Lake and astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, singing from the International Space Station, along with the voices of members of the public who have uploaded their own versions through Touchcast application.
The UNICEF-led #IMAGINE initiative is joining forces with action/2015, a coalition of nearly 1,000 organizations from around the world that have come together to influence world leaders and inspire collective action in advance of key global agenda-setting meetings in 2015. These include the Financing for Development Conference in Addis Ababa in July, when governments and their partners will produce a global strategy for financing global development; the UN General Assembly in September, when world leaders will set out new development goals for the next 15 years.
"It is our duty to imagine a better Mexico, at peace and full of opportunities for children and adolescents. We imagine that it is possible to live without violence. We dream it will come a time when life is not a nightmare for children" said Isabel Crowley, UNICEF Representative in Mexico.

Windows 7 Home Premium (Retail) Full version - With SP1
Brother hl 1440 manual duplex printing
I have my Brother HL 1440 printer installed on a USB port and cannot get it to do manual duplex (2 sided) printing. The driver presents, under Properties/Advanced/AB, the option to do so but when I check the box for manual duplex it does not do so. As far as I know I have the correct driver for Win 7 64bit.
Has anyone experienced this or have a idea where I might find the solution? Brother offers no solution.
Thank you.

They don't work for Vista 32 either
Just for your information, I have been unable to get the drivers to consistently work with Vista 32 or 64. I have gotten them to work with 64 at times, but I changed the configuration of my network, and they quit and I have not been able to figure out why. I am once again, after the lapse of several months, trying for a solution. I saw your post and I wanted you to know that it is not something specifically about Windows 7. The drivers worked excellently under XP.

Getting printer to work redux
I went to Brother Solutions Center and checked the drivers once again. The one I had downloaded was a few weeks older than the one there now, but it had the same name and version number.
I also downloaded the uninstall tool that was there.
I used the uninstall tool to get rid of each instance of the Brothers printer that I had installed. I had to reboot afterwards.
Before rebooting, I pulled the USB cable to prevent the system from installing the defaults. I then installed the Brothers drivers, getting a message that Windows could not verify the drivers. This was the first time that I have gotten this message, telling me that this was the first time the install actually worked. Always before it just went on. It was using some old driver which the uninstall tool from Brothers removed. I plugged in the USB cable according to the instructions in the Brothers install program. The new driver was installed.
Once I plugged in the cable, Vista also installed a second instance of the printer using the stock drivers. These drivers do not have the full functionality. I now have two instances of the printer: one called Brother HL-1440 and once called Brother HL-1440 series. The one called "series" works with the full features.
I suspect the same general procedure will work with Windows 7, too. Apparently the trick is to get all the files deleted before trying the install. The plug and play will jump in immediately and start doing its thing. Somehow that is what is causing the problem, I think.
It took me several reboots and deletions to get it to work.
Hope this helps.

A recent report has shown that the UK's alternative finance sector has grown by an impressive 84% to £3.2 billion in 2015.
Performed by the University of Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance and Nesta, the report is the result of tracking various forms of alternative finance throughout the year, including peer to peer business lending, peer to peer consumer lending, and other forms of FinTech. This is the third year in a row that the report has been compiled – this year's edition saw 94 platforms participate, including Lending Works, Funding Circle, and Zopa.
Free quote : Click here to select the best personal loan offers adapted to your project
The report was abundant with positive results for the alternative finance sector, the main result being the 84% growth for online alternative finance (from £1.74 billion in 2014). The biggest beneficiaries were small and medium enterprises; approximately 20,000 SMEs used digital platforms to raise about £2.2 billion throughout 2015. Overall donation-based crowdfunding is one of the fastest growers in the sector, having shown an impressive 500% growth in 2015. It has also been shown that institutional investors are playing a larger role in the alternative finance sector, with big money driving 26% of business and 32% of consumer lending.
The results of the report should be massively encouraging to those in doubt about the alternative finance sector. However, some highly doubt the reliability of the dynamic FinTech industry, as there have been several major failures in the world of crowdfunded companies, as the report highlights. Time will only tell if the reports of the coming years are just as positive and promising as 2015's.

Hello once again NAGushins, and thanks for coming back for This Week In Gaming (or really, just coming back at all; we missed you). This week was stacked with news, with all of the twists, turns and drama of the Facebook Oculus buyout. Find out what Carmack thinks of it, and find out what is (and then later, isn't) happening. Then there's the competition, Sony's own VR headset – and you'd be surprised who's interested in making games for it. After that we have an update on supervillain King.com's foray into the stock market, a new take on the sidescrolling shooter, the real reason Epic sold Gears to Microsoft, and 3D Realms is fighting back on the Duke Nukem issue. All that, some more news, a crop of videos and some NAG highlights from the week. Hit the jump.
Console News
So the big news to drop this week is that Mark Zuckerberg is once again writing cheques with internet zeroes. Facebook's buyout of virtual reality company Oculus has got the internet buzzing – and not in a good way.
Minecraft's Notch already pulled out of a potential deal because Facebook is "creepy", and pretty much no one was happy when a New York Times "anonymous source" claimed that the VR hardware will eventually be rebranded with a Facebook interface and logo. Yeugh.
Of course, rumours being rumours, Facebook has come out and said that rebranding thing isn't true at all. A spokesperson told TechCrunch that that bit of information is "not true and not in the spirit of our relationship with Oculus."
The company also said it plans to let Oculus run independently, much the way it does Instagram and now WhatsApp Messenger.
It wasn't just a bunch of gamers throwing their toys on the forums either, the Facebook's share prices actually dropped 6.9 percent following the announcement.
Of course, there was a similar drop after the WhatsApp buyout, which quickly stabilised after Zuckerberg convinced investors all would be okay.
Face of Oculus John Carmack has thrown his support behind the deal. Which is probably because he already handed in his resignation at Id Software, but Carmack had some other reasons prepared.
"I expect the FB deal will avoid several embarrassing scaling crisis for VR," he said. "I have a deep respect for the technical scale that FB operates at. The cyberspace we want for VR will be at this scale."
Carmack went on, "I suppose I will get a FB account now, so that may lead to some writing a little longer than tweet length…"
Obviously a long-time fan then.
Oculus isn't the only one getting into VR, Sony have their own Morpheus headset that they're trying to generate interest in, something which appears to be harder than it looks.
According to Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has said that, surprisingly, the people showing real enthusiasm right now are indie developers.
"I am very excited to work with indie developers", Yoshida told Polygon, "because we've been communicating with third party publishers, and the typical conversations go, you know the developers in the third party publishers, they are really excited, but they say, 'Oh well, I have to get approval from the business side.'
"And it's very hard for big companies to approve something that no one knows if there's a market for it. But the indie guys are like, 'I like it, I'll do it.' And there are many indie games being created in the marketplace because of that."

Gaming News
So EA is gaming public enemy #1 this year, and last year, and, well, the year before that. But EA has apparently caught on that gamers are a fickle bunch, and in an attempt to buy some good will are giving away games for free.
On Origin. So yeah, it's PC only and you have to install malware on your computer. But still, free stuff!
The initiative is called On the House, and the first free game is the original Dead Space, yours for free until May 8th. So why are they doing this? "Because we're gamers too."
King.com recently hit the stock market, and so far it's going… not so well. The share price has dropped fifteen percent on the NYSE debut, once again raising concerns that investors just don't have all that much faith in the social gaming market.
And it's easy to see why, with the meteoric rise and spectacular fall of companies like Zynga. It's just not that sure of a thing, as a game can be a hit one week and discarded the next.
I know I bring it up all the time, but lessons need to be learnt from games like Draw Something – a lot of these big mobile moneymakers just aren't sustainable.
Considering King.com's unsavoury business practices, I can't say I'm all that disappointed by this news.
Roll7, developer of critically acclaimed Vita skateboarder OlliOlli has revealed a new game, a quirky, indie-looking side-scrolling shooter for the PC called Not a Hero.
Billed as "2.5D", the game is sporting something called "ISO-Slant", a mix of traditional 2D sidescrolling visuals with isometric features as well. It looks to be ultraviolent and pretty interesting, count me in.
More news this week from the Watch Dogs team over at Ubisoft Montreal, who say that there were a lot of ideas for Watch Dogs that would have been moved to a sequel had the game not been delayed. Ubisoft's VP of creative, Lionel Raynaud, had this to say:
It's clear at this point that the publisher is very happy to have delayed the game, emphasising again and again that it'll be a much more interesting and polished product. There were several systems that were not going to be in the game if we released in November," he said. "There's always the discussion of, 'should we leave them for the sequel, or do we take the time to finish them?' And we decided to take our time and do it right.
"It's made a big difference – we've polished everything. The things we've developed the most are the interactions with hacking, and how in many situations being smart with chain reactions can offer something unique from any other open-world game.
"If we weren't able to deliver this aspect, it wouldn't feel new enough to be worth a new IP."
Fans of the Gears of War franchise may have been disappointed when Epic sold the IP to Microsoft, but Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has said had they not done that, the series may have been collecting dust on a shelf for the next ten years.
"We've gone through a long process of figuring out the games we're going to build at Epic worldwide in the future and we concluded that we weren't going to be building any more Gears of War," he said. "As much as we love the game, we're heading in a new direction.
"The core Gears values are really tied to being big event-based, single-player console games with awesome cover mechanics and other things that really didn't translate into the future approach we were taking with online games, and competitive and cooperative multiplayer.
"Because we weren't planning on building any more Gears games we were just going to let that sit on the shelf for a decade or more, in case it had any future value to us."
Remember that 3D Realms-Gearbox fiasco with the new Duke Nukem game? Well, after apologising and seemingly admitting fault after planning to release a game in a series they no longer own, 3D Realms is now going on the offensive.
In an official response to Gearbox, 3D Realms claim that as part of their agreement they would be allowed to complete and release "Duke Nukem Survivor", which is apparently this Mass Destruction thingamajig.
They also claim that Gearbox doesn't actually own the Duke Nukem trademark, saying that was never part of the agreement.
Oh, I do love a bit of scandal on the weekends.

Alien Isolation is looking pretty damn good, and this new videos shows us more gameplay than we've seen yet. Hell, it even has commentary.
Hey while we're talking Project Morpheus around here, Sony has released the full, hour-long GDC presentation of the new hardware. If you're interested in learning more, this video has pretty much everything.
A new Watch Dogs trailer surfaced this week, and you can't help feel like it may be a response to gamers' claims that the game has suffered some visual downgrades. After watching this, that becomes a little harder to argue. Check it out:
Video games adapted from movies have tended to be more than mediocre, but this new Amazing Spider Man 2 footage is actually pretty damned good. You even get to play as Peter Parker; let creative director Thomas Wilson talk you through it below.
Best of NAG
So this week I wrote a column around all the recent graphics "scandals" that have been popping up like weeds around the internet, from "resolutiongate" to visual "downgrades" and all these other trivial things gamers love to complain about. Read it, and tell me what you think.
And then you should read this, Wesley Fick's take on the situation and the various visual elements that we should be caring about. I guess it's somewhat of a rebuttal, and yet I agree with everything he says. Weird, huh? Read that too, and tell us both what you think!
Speaking of controversy, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes dropped recently, which you may remember as the game which can supposedly be finished in under two hours. Matthew Vice took it for a spin, so head over here to find out if the somewhat short-lived experience is worth your money.
Saving the best for last, the latest issue of NAG magazine hit the shelves on Thursday – and you already have a copy, right? If by some divine intervention you haven't managed to pick it up yet, you can find out everything you're missing right here.

There are a number of effective products that help tighten loose skin. Follow these steps to reveal healthier, younger-looking skin.Continue Reading
Skin becomes loose and wrinkled when collagen and elastin are degraded. The skin's supply of elastin is damaged by sun exposure. To make sure you protect your skin from harmful UV rays, use a moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or higher every day. Remember to apply it to the neck as well as to the face. The skin on the neck is often looser and more delicate than the skin on the face.
Exfoliating products that contain either saliciylic acid or glycolic acid can help the skin build more collagen. For smoother, firmer skin, apply an exfoliant with one of these ingredients daily.
Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A that can improve the skin's remaining elastin; some studies even suggest that it can help the skin build new elastin. Use a retinol product, like the prescription cream Renova, once a day to improve the appearance of the skin.
If topical treatments do not achieve the desired results, consult a doctor about lasers, light therapies or cosmetic surgery.

Visualization tools for pt-query-digest tables
When you process MySQL slow query logs using pt-query-digest you can store samples of each query into query_review table and historical values for review trend analysis into query_review_history table. But it could be difficult to easily browse those tables without a good GUI tool.
For the visual browsing of tables created by pt-query-digest you may want to use some kind of web tools besides phpMyAdmin 😉
Query Digest UI
This is a advanced, but easy to install, ui for pt-query-digest or mk-query-digest.
Main features:
* Dynamic filtering and searching of queries
* Colorized and normalized SQL syntax
* Explain the query dynamically
* Integrated pt-query-advisor support
* Detailed query historic stats, support for log_slow_verbosity.
Actually, this is a very simple and straightforward tool to browse slow queries. The web interface is AJAX-based. Please refer to the screenshots below to see what columns you can filter the report on. Personally, I find this tool useful in case you want to easily find a certain query by id, have it syntax-highlighted or find queries that have first been seen since the specified date or date range.
Also you can explain queries, see their stats and post reviews.
Box Anemometer
Anemometer is a tool for visualizing collected data from the MySQL Slow Query Log. The name comes from the instrument in a weather station that measures wind speed. SQL queries are like the wind — ephemeral and hard to get a hold of. Anemometer helps you get a handle on your queries; it makes it easier to figure out what to optimize and how to track performance over time.
Anemometer relies on the Percona Toolkit to do the slow query log collection. Specifically you can run pt-query-digest. To parse your slow logs and insert them into a database for reporting.
Personally, I find this tool as an advanced instrument that could be useful for:
* browsing queries with optional filtering on first seen date;
* custom reports, choosing which columns to show;
* filtering queries by hosts;
* filtering reports by different query conditions;
* graphing reports;
* explaining queries;
* searching and displaying samples;
* displaying table status and CREATE statements;
* reviewing and commenting on queries.
Despite its lack of ability to save predefined reports in the web interface for easy access, it does have a Permalink feature and API for relative date ranges. The web interface is pretty flexible as built on JQuery UI.
Take a look into the screenshots:

Hi Roman,
Sorry to hear that the explain functionality is broken for you. Is there any output in the apache error logs? If not, you can browse to the explain url directly ( http://path/to/QDUI/explain.php?checksum=SetMeHere&explainDb=SetMeHereToo
With valid values from checksum and explainDb, and it should show what's wrong. If you can let me know what's up, I'll get it fixed up for you!
Whoops! The example is fixed.
Thanks for this article, I got Box Anemometer installed on a dev server to check how it works and how it looks like.
But the "Show query" (when clicking on a checksum) seems to be not working properly as I'm having a lot of errors about :
Undefined index: id in /var/www/box-anemometer/lib/QueryExplain.php on line 226
Warning: stream_get_contents() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in /var/www/box-anemometer/lib/AnemometerModel.php on line 323
Can't succeed yet to find the root cause of the problem, does any of you having the same problem please or do I have to file a bug entry on the Box Anemometer webpage ?
Thanks for your answer.

More than 20 solar thermal companies have joined Eneref Institute's Solar Thermal Advantage initiative as sponsors since the initiative's kick-off meeting in October 2011. The campaign was started five years ago by Eneref' s founder, Seth Warren Rose. The initiative's goal for the near future is to raise public awareness for solar thermal by presenting case studies in different magazines and newspapers, put together individually for each magazine target group. The first stories were published in Commercial Building Products (circulation 41,000) and Reeves Journal, a plumbing journal with a circulation of 13,000. Photo: Eneref

A local diner that earned a "gold star" from the Bayside community over the years recently shut its doors, though customers craving another meal need only travel a short distance.
The Gold Star Diner, on the corner of Bell Boulevard and 42nd Avenue in Bayside, closed its doors for good just before the new year after serving the neighborhood for over a decade. Owner Chris Axamidis said that closing the eatery was strictly a business decision.
"I live in Bayside," he said. "I pass by the store and it breaks my heart."
Axamidis said the customers, who were also heartbroken to see their homey hash house go, came back in droves to say good-bye and enjoy a final meal.
"Being there for so long created a relationship with people that was friendly, it was not just business," he said, adding he knew 95 percent of his customers by their first names.
The same warm, friendly atmosphere that Bayside denizens enjoyed for 11 years still exists a short drive away.
Axamidis has also owned and operated the Silver Moon Diner for nearly two years. The diner features 40 percent of the staff from Gold Star, and many of his former customers have stopped by for a meal at Silver Moon, located at 235-20 Hillside Avenue. He added that he would like to see all his old customers at the diner, which is less than a 10 minute drive from his old location.
"You need to have a good environment, good, friendly service and excellent food," Axamidis said about creating the right welcoming atmosphere in a diner. "I love working with people."
Axamidis is working to create that family atmosphere at the new location.
One Silver Moon customer made it a point before leaving to stop Axamidis and let him know he appreciates the great job he does tending to his customers.
The Bayside resident misses tending to his community's residents, saying the decision to sell was not easy.
"I want to thank the community, my beloved customers," he said. "Thank you for the support that you gave me all these years. I appreciate the moments I went through with a lot of them. I'm going to miss all those things."

Out With the Old, In With the New
Is the stock BlackBerry wallpaper on your device getting old? Would you like to spruce up the background on your BlackBerry phone with some new artwork, or a cool picture you saw online?
Most average users don't realize that their BlackBerry device is fully customizable to their preferences. One of the best options available for BlackBerry users is the wallpaper change feature.
Wallpaper refers to the background image on the home screen of any BlackBerry device. It can be changed to any custom image the user prefers. In this guide I'll show you all you need to know about BlackBerry wallpapers.
- slide 2 of 5
First Things First...
Find an image or aesthetic you enjoy, or would like to see on the home screen of your BlackBerry device. BlackBerry wallpapers can be anything from a photo, to 3D concept art, to gaming screenshots or even custom images you've created!
Keep in mind the image can also be changed at any time using the steps I'm going to provide. So the wallpaper feature is a great way to keep your phone in season, or decorated with holiday images. That means in the future, once the christmas holiday is finally over, you can replace that image you chose of the snowman or christmas tree!
It is also important to know what screen resolution your BlackBerry phone uses; the image chosen will be resized to match your BlackBerry device so that it does not look distorted or warped. The resolution is measured in pixels and will typically be listed in the "number x number" format; or for example "480 x 800".
Here are some more popular phone screen resolutions for reference. If your device is not listed you may simply find the resolution by using your favorite search engine and listing the name and model of your device followed by "screen resolution".

Photo Like New!
After finding an image you might like for the background and taking note of your device's screen resolution it is time to resize the image for viewing on your BlackBerry device and then transfer it to the phone.
Open any image editing software and navigate to the "resize image" option. For the purpose of this tutorial I'm going to be using the default "Paint" program.
Once the resize image window is open users will be treated with a view similar to the image here. First we must select the "pixels" checkbox to indicate we are going to resize the image in pixel measurements and then we must enter our BlackBerry device screen resolution.
After the pixel resolution is entered click the "ok" button to make the change and if you are satisfied with the image save over the original.
If you find that your new image is slightly distorted after changing size, I suggest you back up a step by simply clicking the "undo" feature and crop the picture to a smaller size; in most cases the best option is a small rectangle with the width measurements remaining slightly longer than the height measurements.
After the image is saved, you can then transfer it over to your device using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager software. The picture can be transferred to any folder on your device just take note of where it goes for future reference; I recommend transferring it to the "SDCard/BlackBerry/pictures/" folder on a MicroSD card or the "fileconn.dir/photos/name" directory on the actual device.
If you do not have an active computer, or the BlackBerry Desktop Manager software installed fear not; you may still be able to transfer the image to your device using one of the methods below.
- E-mail the resized image to yourself and then open it on your BlackBerry device.
- You may use a website that allows you to upload the image and then connect to a URL to redownload it from your BlackBerry device; (ImageShack, TinyPic etc.)
- Download the image directly from a mobile wallpaper website featuring BlackBerry wallpapers; this is usually easier as you can browse images natively in your resolution size meaning no need to edit!
- Take a photo or use a previously captured photo that is already stored on your device!
- slide 4 of 5
Cool Background!
After the resized photo or picture has been transferred to your BlackBerry device you can now select it as the default wallpaper or background.
To do so, first navigate to the directory or folder where you transferred the image and open the picture. Once the image is previewed on the screen hit the BlackBerry "menu" key and choose the "set as home screen image" option.
Voila! You now have a new background, and might I say it's looking good!
- slide 5 of 5
Another Option?
There are also a few BlackBerry applications floating around that allow you to browse wallpaper images and automatically set a new background.
Users will have to do their own searching and find these apps through their own methods.
- Apps
- Custom Upload Sites
- Pre-Sized Image Sites

I am very happy to say that I finally have a version good enough to be sent for peer-review on linux-bluetooth mainling list.
There will be other little reviews, obviously. But hopefully this patch will be accepted for next BlueZ version.
Please, I invite you to review and test. You can check the patch at linux-bluetooth and a video demo I made (below as well).
Important notes:
- GATT client (GAP central role)
- libmidi (MIDI parsing)
- unit-tests
The GATT server (GAP Peripheral role) can easily be implemented using libmidi . Once this main patch is in mainline, then it will be interesting to start working on it.
As mentioned on my patch, I would like to send kudos to ROLI Ltd. which allowed my to work on this as part of my full-time job.

text: No ark was seen floating down Sixth Avenue South or South Second Street on Saturday night, though some motorists stalled by the torrential downpour might have been wishing for one. The floodgates opened up on the Aberdeen area Saturday night, gushing 2.81 inches of rain on the Hub City between 8 and 9 p.m. To put that in perspective, normally Aberdeen would get 2.69 inches for the entire month of May, said Ken Gillespie, weather service specialist with the National Weather Service office in Aberdeen. "So we got a month total in one (hour)." Aberdeen's total of 5.83 inches as of 11 p.m. Saturday is a 24-hour record, Gillespie said. And "it's still coming down." The city's streets just couldn't handle the fast-falling moisture Saturday evening, and flooding occurred around town - including Sixth Avenue South, where water reportedly washed over vehicles' hoods. Vehicles became stuck in the high water on that street and others, including South Second Street. Apartment flooding and a power outage were also reported on Aberdeen's east side Saturday night. The city received numerous reports of basements flooding and sewers backing up, said Stuart Nelson, assistant city engineer. A no-travel advisory was issued in Aberdeen just after 10 p.m. Nelson said that people driving through flooded areas were creating waves that would wash up into people's homes, running in through windows. "Nobody should be driving right now," he said. As of 10:15 p.m., virtually every storm and sanitary sewer in town, as well as Moccasin Creek, was full, Nelson said. "Until that can recede, things aren't going to go down," he said. He estimated it would take several hours. Residents with questions can call the Aberdeen Public Works Department at (605) 626-7010. And it's far from over: Rain was expected to continue overnight, and more moisture is forecasted for Sunday and Monday, according to NWS. Power out: The weather caused a utility pole to snap around 8:15 p.m., knocking out power north of Avera St. Luke's Hospital, said Tom Glanzer, spokesman for NorthWestern Energy. Glanzer was unsure of the number of customers affected by the outage. Crews were working Saturday night, and power was to be back as soon as possible, he said. Also, eight houses on South Roosevelt Street between 15th and 16th avenues in Aberdeen were expected to be without power overnight because a transformer was under water, Glanzer said. Nights like Saturday create "very tough conditions to work in," Glanzer said. "Safety is the first thing." Glanzer said power outages were also reported around the region Saturday, including in the Conde, Doland and Webster areas. A lightning strike to a line between Groton and Webster knocked out power in Andover, Bristol and Holmquist, though those towns were back on as of late Saturday night. No travel: A no-travel advisory was also issued for Spink County on Saturday night because a lot of county and township roads were extremely soft or under water, said Randy Maddox, Spink County emergency management director. "There's a lot of water down there," Maddox said. In Redfield, streets were also flooded, he said, and there were reports of sewers backing up. Maddox said his top priority were the students attending Redfield's prom Saturday night in the school gym. He hoped prom-related activities would hold the students long enough for things to settle down. Records: Before Saturday, from 1932 to the present, the biggest one-day rainfall was 4.02 inches, which occurred June 10, 1939, Gillespie said. Rain totals for area towns weren't expected until Sunday morning. More on the way: Showers and thunderstorms are most likely in Aberdeen Sunday morning, and a chance of rain continues through Monday, Gillespie said, though it shouldn't be as bad as Saturday's downpour. Area residents should finally see some sunshine on Tuesday. Elsewhere: A flash flood warning ended at 11:30 p.m. Saturday for Brown County and area counties. Sheriff's offices in Day, Edmunds, Faulk and Marshall counties reported no flooding Saturday night, though Spink County did have flooding, according to the sheriff's office there. The severe weather also included a tornado warning for Spink County at one point, though no twisters materialized. High winds knocked down trees in Walworth and Campbell counties, according to a representative of the Mobridge Police Department.

A group opposed to the closure of the Michener Centre says five of 41 residents moved from the facility died over a two-month period this summer, prompting demands for the government to halt the transfers and open an investigation.
Reports of deaths of former Michener residents prompt investigation calls
EDMONTON – A group opposed to the closure of the Michener Centre says five of 41 residents moved from the facility died over a two-month period this summer, prompting demands for the government to halt the transfers and open an investigation.
The Friends for Michener Centre advocacy group says it has cross-referenced reports from the Red Deer facility with obituaries to determine how many former residents have died.
Lee Kvern, whose 56-year-old sister Jody has lived in the facility for 42 years, said the deaths can't be dismissed as a coincidence.
"Why have five people died? These are not natural causes. I firmly believe that if those five people were still at Michener, they would be alive," said Kvern, who has been a vocal opponent to the impending closure.
The Journal has determined the ages of the former residents who have since died. Two were 64 years old and another was 67. The oldest was 69, while the youngest was 54.
The province announced in March 2013 that it would close the facility for people with disabilities, with plans to move 125 residents into community-based facilities. The decision was met with fierce and sustained backlash from opposition parties and the families of people who call the 91-year-old facility home.
NDP health critic David Eggen called reports of the deaths "disturbing."
"We know patients at the Michener Centre are already quite fragile and we need to know if the transfer … of these individuals is somehow hastening, perhaps, injury or death," Eggen said Thursday.
Eggen has written a letter to Human Services Minister Manmeet Bhullar asking for an immediate pause in transfers until a review can be done to determine whether the moves are safe.
Another block of residents is slated to be moved in September and the province plans to close the facility by December.
Dianne Esslinger's 52-year-old brother Larry has been a resident of the Michener Centre for the past five decades. She said she isn't willing to entertain the idea of moving him away.
"I truly believe the only reason he is alive and with us today is because of the exemplary care and love and kindness from the people who care for him at Michener," Esslinger said Thursday.
Wildrose critic Kerry Towle noted Premier Dave Hancock was human services minister when the Michener closure was announced, adding he has the power now to suspend that decision.
"He owes it to the people of Michener … and their families to halt the cruelty of moving these residents and commit to keeping the facility open," Towle said.
Naresh Bhardwaj, associate minister for people with disabilities, issued a written statement Thursday afternoon saying the government follows up with residents who have transitioned out of the Michener Centre. Families of residents meet with care providers to develop a plan, he added.
"If anyone has any evidence to suggest the needs of an individual are not being met, or that a death was caused by a transition to another care setting, we ask that they speak with the appropriate authorities," Bhardwaj said in his statement. He did not indicate who the proper authorities would be in this case.
The three men running to become the next Progressive Conservative leader and Alberta premier have expressed concerns with the closure.
MLAs Thomas Lukaszuk and Ric McIver have both committed to halting the closure, while rival leadership candidate Jim Prentice said Thursday he hasn't made a decision about the closure but would meet with representatives of affected families.
Towle noted current Human Services Minister Manmeet Bhullar is one of Prentice's four campaign co-chairs.
Liberal critic David Swann also called for an immediate suspension of resident transfers and an investigation into the deaths.
"The stress of being moved out of their home and separated from the caregivers with whom they have formed powerful bonds of attachment may simply be too stressful for many of them to endure," he said in a statement.
Late last year, the NDP revealed documents showing the province had hired a PR firm to draft a set of "transition principles" to defend the closure to families and the public two months after the government had announced the facility would be closing.

"I'm a Christian but why do I still sin?"
|Posted on March 19, 2015 at 3:40 PM
Submitted by: Minister Fhanniee Stokes
Many new Christians ask themselves the question, "If I am saved (born again), then why do I still sin"? It might be simple to say that it is the nature of man to sin.
Because Adam is the father of all mankind, our natural seed is from him. According to the Word of God, every creature bears fruit after his own kind. After Adam sinned against God in the Garden of Eden, his nature became such that he could know both good and evil. Psalm 51:5 says, "Behold I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." So we know that because of Adam's disobedience to God in the garden, Romans 3:23 declares "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
In other words, sin is a habit of our natural man.
Isaiah 59:2 says, "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear." But new believers, all is not lost because before God reminds us of our sins, He comforts us by letting us know that His hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither is His ear heavy that it cannot hear. Praise God! It is just like Him to always make provision for us.
As new creatures in Christ Jesus, we must remember that it is not first that which is spiritual but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. Because sin is natural, there is a struggle between the flesh (natural) and the spirit (spiritual). A picture of this struggle between the flesh and the spirit is seen in the birth of Esau and Jacob in Genesis 25. God's answer to the problem of sin is our Lord Jesus Christ. He gives us grace to overcome all sin; for where sin did abound, grace did much more abound. It is the Word of God which causes us to grow in the spirit. The Psalmist David said in Psalm 119:11, "thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.".
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby. St. John chapter 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.". Verse 14 declares, "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld HIS glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.".
Praise be unto God who always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus !

This year the mighty Green Machine is taking on Rock Solid. Obstacles, mud, hay bales and freezing ice baths are some of the delights that are awaiting us. Sadistic? Maybe. But this isn't just for pleasure we're running it all for a great cause that is our very own, Exeter RAG.
On March 14th the Green Army will fight and work together to overcome various physical feats. The race consists of, mud slides, forest running, cargo nets and running through fire, followed by a 'few' beverages in Time Piece (which is a challenge in itself!) Lucky participants can choose between a 5k or 10k race, where they'll be competing with other teams to cross the line and claim bragging rights for the rest of the year.
Despite the obvious enjoyment that will take place, our brave Exetonians will be raising money for RAG which we have 4 great designated charities:
- Devon Freewheelers
- Rainbow Trust
- Concern Universal
- Community Action
Each charity helps countless numbers of people and all money goes to a great cause. With donations from as little as £3 I'm sure you can spare a little change. That's a pint in Exeter, or two if you're Northern, so do yourself a favour, reduce your hangover, help someone else in need and get donating!
Click here to find the official donations page for Exeter RAG, alternatively if you have a sadistic friend already taking part just pop their name into the search bar and give some dosh.

Posted by Horacio Gutierrez
Corporate Vice President and Deputy General Counsel
As many of you may have seen, Microsoft filed an action today in the International Trade Commission and in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against Motorola, Inc. for infringement of nine Microsoft patents by Motorola's Android-based smartphones. We have released a press statement about our suit, but I thought I would provide a bit more context here around the innovations infringed by Motorola's Android-based smartphones and how our suit fits into ongoing developments in the smartphone space.
As we all know, smartphones have become an integral part of people's daily lives and are used for a variety of tasks beyond making phone calls; from watching video and listening to music to staying in touch with family and friends. The Microsoft innovations at issue in this case help make smartphones "smart." Indeed, our patents relate to key features that users have come to expect from every smartphone. The ability to send and receive email on-the-go has driven smartphone adoption. Nowadays, everyone expects to receive e-mail from multiple services in real time, to read it on their phones, and to reply or send new messages out – in continuous and seamless synchronization with their email services. Microsoft's Exchange ActiveSync, a proprietary technology that we developed, makes this possible.
But people manage more than email from their devices, they manage their lives. Users can not only send and receive email from smartphones; they can also manage their calendars. Their phones will remind them of appointments and allow them to schedule new ones. Similarly, users maintain lists of contacts on their phones, so that they can easily stay connected – by phone, text message, or email – to the people they interact with most. Again, our technology enables people to see their calendar and email contacts on their phone, and to manage their calendar and contacts from whatever device they are using.
People use smartphones for much more as well: they surf the web, play music and videos, and run apps. Consumers expect more and more from their smartphones every day, making their phones resemble not so much a phone as a handheld computer. Of course, for certain apps to run efficiently on handheld devices, they must be notified of changes in signal strength and battery power and the device must manage memory for storing data. Given the wide range of functionality smartphones offer, they also need to be able to display relevant choices for users efficiently. Microsoft's patented technologies tackle all of these challenges.
That Microsoft has important patents in this area should not surprise anyone – we've spent over 30 years developing cutting-edge computer software. As I mentioned in my blog post last March, the key value proposition of smartphones has moved from the radio stack to the software stack, as people buy smartphones because they are fully functional computers that fit in the palm of your hand. With this shift, it is imperative that companies address IP issues related to the software that makes possible this new class of devices. The rules of the road are long-established in the software industry, and fundamental to the industry's growth and economic impact is respect for others' intellectual property rights.
Our action today merely seeks to ensure respect for our intellectual property rights infringed by Android devices; and judging by the recent actions by Apple and Oracle, we are not alone in this respect.

The course of true love, whatever kind
klavierspiel | TX, USA | 09/11/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)
"A straight couple (Sasha Alexander and Adam Goldberg) set up their respective best friends, both gay (Dan Bucatinsky and Richard Ruccolo) on a blind date. While the straight romance goes swimmingly along the gay couple lurches from crisis to crisis. Dan Bucatinsky, the star, also wrote and produced this romantic comedy-drama. There are many side-splitting scenes and great one-liners--the two men's disastrous first date, where they seem to have absolutely nothing in common, is especially on-target. The more serious scenes between Bucatinsky and Ruccolo, as they start to realize that they _do_ love one another after all, don't work as well, the dialogue lapsing into clichés. There is also too much glib pop psychological explanation as to why the two guys are so dysfunctional with regard to relationships. Still, with the talents of actors such as Lisa Kudrow, Cristina Ricci and Doris Roberts in supporting roles, this movie kept me continually laughing and entertained for the duration."
Another Fine Gay Film
Vasilius Trokis | San Francisco, CA | 08/27/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"It's great to see more and more fine portrayals of the gay community be presented so eloquently and thoughtfully on the silver screen. Last year's excellent "Broken Hearts Club" exemplified itself as a pristine presentation of a group of gay twentysomethings living in California. That story was touching, funny, and brilliantly well-crafted. Now we have "All Over the Guy." This film is a bit more intense (as it is funny) as two handsome gay men come to terms in establishing a relationship through the turbulent waters of dating and occasionally "running into one another" through their mutual heterosexual friends. This fine film stars Richard Ruccolo (of ABC's now cancelled "Two Guys & A Girl") and real-life gay screenwriter Dan Bucatinsky. Both leads are believable as they attempt at finding meaning with their on-again, off-again relationship. Their heterosexual counterparts (the ever-funny Adam Goldberg, and the beautiful, talented Sasha Alexander) in the film are just as funny and truly supportive of their gay friends' quest for monogamy, intimacy, and succeeding in becoming boyfriends, especially after Eli (Dan Bucatinsky) expresses his love for hunky-but-alcoholic Tom (the gorgeous Richard Ruccolo). "All Over the Guy" is not only a perfect gay date film, but enjoyable for its wonderful story and memorable cast. How ironic that when I went to go see this film with a large group of friends, some of them wound up expressing their true feelings for one another (to those guys they've liked secretly for sometime), that couples were spawned out of years old friendships. How amazing! Wish it was me, though. Regardless, the film is worth rushing out for to see it!"
Not the best, but I still bought the DVD
A. J. Aleman | New York, NY | 01/01/2002
(3 out of 5 stars)
"Yes, I really liked this movie; it is, in the end, another addition to the feel-good gay relationship movie library. I thought the actors were very good and mostly believable; I enjoyed seeing a gay couple exhibited as having the same problems in their relationships as straight couples, I enjoyed the straight sidekicks--without whom the movie would not have been complete. But then, on the other hand, we have another movie that is set in the la-la land of "all gay guys are good looking;" "all gay guys have unlimited witty one-liners;" "all gay guys have a best friend who is straight;" "all gay guys have their own great apartments surrounded by great neighbors;" and, the one I love the most, "gay relationships blossom out of no shared interests between the partners." So as a date movie I think it's great, and I own the DVD, because I liked it that much. But then there's that undeniably present and depressing feeling we'll all get when we leave the theater of "why can't I have that?" The answer, of course, is that "that" only exists... on the screen. Which is fine at the movies, that's what movies are for. In the end, while the script could have used some work to make the characters more real, I thought the cast delivered beautifully."
A wonderful insight into the dynamics of gay relationships
Dave Beards | Sydney Australia | 01/12/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I had ordered the DVD of "All Over The Guy' on the strength of Richard Ruccolo. I loved him in '2guys and a girl' and was eager to see him in another role. Richard really breaks out of the sitcom mould in this movie - his characterisation of a chain smoking, heavy drinking masculine gay man is nothing short of breathtaking. The film itself is wonderful. It really delves into the difficulties of gay relationships in todays' society and how hard it is to meet 'Mr Right'. The onscreen dynamic between Dan Bucatinsky and Richard Ruccolo is excellent - you really are drawn into the complexities of their relationship. A special note should be made of the DVD. Unlike many smaller budget, indi films, this one is packed with features such as an audio commentary, deleted scenes, storyboards, interviews, trailers and a short film made by the director that will have you glued to the screen for hours. A wonderful movie that I wholeheartedly recommend."
