Reviews of the year may seem arbitrary, particularly when it comes to architecture, which by its nature takes years to gestate before it is completed. Yet they have their uses. And not simply because they give harassed editors a no-brainer at a time when any sensible human being's mind is on the office party and a week off. They are also the moment when, in trying to string together a narrative that links all the apparently haphazard events of the year into some single line, journalism becomes the first haphazard stab at history.
It seems particularly pertinent this year as a certain historical turn in architecture has asserted itself. The finest architecture of the year for me were two buildings by OMA both in Italy: one in Venice and one in Milan. The former, the Fondaco dei Tedeschi was effectively an act of archaeology revealing the twentieth century reality behind a building that was supposed to be centuries old. It is a deconstructed building as much as a renovated one which reveals the concrete-and-steel beamed reality of its 1920s conversion and values that as much as the traces of the 16th century.
The Prada Foundation is arguably finer. In one way, it was a rediscovery of OMAs own history. The series of disaggregated yet connected objects in a neutral, potentially hostile landscape. It was also an assault on the European cult of heritage. AA Gill, another loss this year made an aside about Europe in his book To America, With Love. He writes:
"Europe is a place that conserves. It maintains, it curates its civilization, protects it against the ravages and rust of other cultures, and the rot of time and intellectual theft. We are a continent where fear of losing what we have is greater than the ambition to make it anew."
There is something deeply subversive in the loving restoration of a mundane factory complex from the 19th century. Lavishing gold and marble on quotidian shapes and forms, OMA question our values. Maybe we have misremembered what is truly valuable? The Foundation is a surreal emblem of our times. Di Chirico for the 21st century. The Mystery and Melancholy of Wes Anderson and Damien Hirst.
Nor was this idea of a kind of abstracted intellectual activity in Italy. This rummaging around in the historical fabric of the mundane was also part of the evolving plan for an increasingly important site in the United Kingdom: Shatwell Farm, which, despite its rural setting is according to its client Niall Hobhouse, a potential model for a new suburban architecture: an architecture which is both rural and urban. Indeed, this is particularly compelling when one sees the horror show that is the David Cameron's garden cities roll out in places like Bicester – strange pastiches not even of old suburbia but town houses with no landscaping amongst them. This historical approach – this understanding that the suburban arrives on top of an industrialised rural experience – is compelling. The Architectural Review's #Notopia campaign has been largely directed at the homogeneity of cities, but they have nothing on what is being done to suburban development. Of course it is not always possible to work with the fabric of the industrial past – we can't all live in a post-war Atcost pre-fabricated barn conversion like the one that Clancy Moore have just won planning permission for on the site – but at least it provides a pointer to how we might deal with the fabric of roads and landscape we must build on rather than just carpeting fields up to the ring road with strange agglomeration of simplistic townhouse shapes scaled up to visually reconcile apartment blocks with villas that have the same childlike house-shape. "Look the people buy them," say the developers as vindication. People just want bloody houses. Build them some good ones.
At the time, I thought that the Alejandro Aravena curated Venice Biennale this year was largely disappointing because the social programme expressed in Aravena's exhibits was merely rhetorical: the strips of waste metal in the entrance; Anupama Kundoo's Full Fill Home which was effectively a bunch of ferro-cement blocks which you can build small houses with; Gabinete de Arquitectura pretty latticed arch which was presented as a low-cost construction technique. These were handmade structures by architects who largely didn't want to engage with the other professions nor the forces that produce scale in our society. They were generally turned away from it, sat onanistically alone, congratulating themselves on their own virtue
There was no real sense that the curator wanted architecture to engage with the positive forces of contemporary society. The material improvement of people's life was something to be avoided. This was architecture outside of society. Possibly the point to it was that we would all quit our jobs and build our own houses by hand but I think that even this is being generous. Aravena seems very sure that architects have a solution to every social ill and as a profession, architecture can lead society to a promised land in a way which politicians or even citizens themselves were incapable of. I just don't think this is true.
Fundamentally though, what made the exhibition even stranger was the implicit suggestion that here was contemporary architecture for the very first time, as a principled political position, making a stand outside the construction industry. The idea that off-grid living was somehow novel or a revolution was pervasive to the event. And yet I'm only just 40 and I can remember modularity and prefabrication as being central to many architectural propositions in my lifetime; never mind the historical use of these ideas. Where was the work by Steve Baer and Michael Reynolds? The post-hippy Americans who built off grid after the oil crisis in the 1970s? Where was the endless iterations of prefabrication as a solution to housing shortages that were carried out on a large scale in say the United Kingdom in the 1960s? How about the endless innovative architectural ideas that emerged from that process? (Old hobby horse alert: what about Cedric Price?)
This Biennale wasn't interested in that and the introduction to it, suggested that the curator believed that the show was the first step in beginning a conversation wheras in fact this conversation pre-existed the Biennale. This idea has played out many times and in many ways which have showed its own shortcomings all too clearly. This Biennale was more about a few people declaring, with mud and sticks and clay, that their consciences were clear and that they far away from the world of shiny materials such as glass and steel. Y'know the kind of things that capitalists build for themselves. Far from engaging with reality, this was a statement of a profound disengagement.
I thought at the time that this would sum the year up all to bleakly. (Especially given that Aravena also won the Pritzker). However, it is telling that the disengagement of the Venice Biennale – the not-in-my-nameness of it – rendered it pretty insignificant even before it was finished. The tail end of the year provided a huge number of opportunities for optimism. For me the highlight was the Form of Form exhibition at the Lisbon Architecture Trienal by Johnston Marklee, Nuno Brandão Costa and Office KGDVS and curated by Diogo Seixas Lopes. Formally innovative it combined both an understanding of historicism as not just the intellectual tenor of our digital, archival web-focused culture – as the exhibition within the structure by Socks Studio made clear – but also the potential material for its architectural expansion. This has limits of course. It's hard to find a way forward amid the accretion of associations. Yet the great thing about the installation and the whole Trienal was that it was predicated on new types of creative collaboration – architects collaging their colleagues building into the structure – and the scale and the surreal new forms that this work took. (It is telling that one of my cultural highlights of the year were the debates I enjoyed on The Postmodern Society Facebook group.)
Still, the singular event that reverberated throughout the year was the death of Zaha Hadid. A huge loss given her insistent engagement with the reality of the urban experience. Her refusal to have her work circumscribed. It was telling that once a polite period had passed since her death the knives came out for her on the completion of the Port House in Antwerp. No context, screamed her critics, ironically indulging in the sin that they accused her of; just concentrating on the image of the building rather than considering the wider site around the structure: a huge modern port filled with cranes and massive aluminium sheds. As Ed Heathcote wrote in a review of an exhibition of her paintings, which also happened to be one of my favourite pieces of writing of the year, "the critique of Hadid as a diva disdaining history and context falls apart when confronted with some of the most mesmerising depictions of complex cityscapes that contemporary architecture has produced." It was a telling reminder that the historical context should rarely be the polite, official one.
One hopes that if it is to be historicism: then we have a historicism of the structure before the façade; a historicism of the periphery rather than the centre; of the industrial as opposed to the merely cultural.

Examination of Witness (Questions 20-39)
20. You also gave us some fascinating information about agricultural expenditure and how that was allocated, but what about defence expenditure? How is that accounted for? Heaven forbid that it should be spread equally.
(Professor McLean) That is a good question and one which our research project is looking at. The defence expenditure does not appear in the tables in my paper because Government deems defence to be an example of what, in the jargon, is in but not for the regions. With permission, perhaps I may go into "in" and "for" briefly. The Government line, shared by all relevant government departments, Treasury and ONS in particular, is that there is a way of counting regional expenditure which looks at for whom the expenditure is to benefit, and that is the so-called "for" concept which is used in the PESA tables. There are classes of expenditure which are deemed not to be to the benefit of individuals or individual regions, and defence is a case in point, where defence expenditure is deemed to be for the good of the entire population of the UK. Nevertheless, it is obviously the case that defence expenditure takes place in the regions of the UK, and our project does involve looking at that, although it is not in the PESA tables. I have a colleague, a subcontractor, who is already talking to the Ministry of Defence about that, and we will, when we produce our final report in April of next year, be able to say something about the spread of defence expenditure around the regions of England.
21. Obviously given that it is in the regions, there is a benefit to those particular regions, if only from the jobs and the impact on the economy and therefore on all of the other services?
(Professor McLean) Yes, that is true. The MoD and the ministers in that department are very well aware of that, and that is indeed why we are told that a quango called DASADefence Analytical Services Agency. DASA keeps detailed records on these matters, and our project is going to check those records.
22. Given that that figure is excluded from the TME and it does have an impact, and that we are looking at expenditure over the regions overall, what should we be looking at?
(Professor McLean) I am sorry, my earlier answer was misleading. Defence expenditure is within TME, but it is not within that part of TME that is presented in the Chapter 8 of PESA which gives the English region breakdown.
23. So you are telling us that we can be satisfied that at least the range is inclusive enough?
(Professor McLean) I think you can be satisfied that the range of spending which is counted as public expenditure for the purposes of the regional allocation is satisfactory, yes.
Mr Beard
24. When you were speaking about Table 1 and the public expenditure per head, you said that leaving Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales out, there was a broad correlation. It is a very broad correlation. I was just about to say the line goes in the right direction. It is not really a correlation much at all, is it?
(Professor McLean) No, if you take Scotland, Northern Ireland and London out it is a respectable correlation. My research officer and I calculated it and it looks statistically reasonable.
25. Those figures there are built up from different formulae which are applied by the different departments, and certainly in some cases those formulae are only very vaguely understood by some of the recipients of the funds, are they not?
(Professor McLean) Indeed.
26. If not by some of the people who are actually doling out the funds. Does it not strike you that they are so obscure that people do not really understand the things that are influencing the answers?
(Professor McLean) As to the people who are doling the funds out, I have talked to those in ODPM and my experience so far is that they do understand what they are doling out. I have not talked yet to the Department of Health, so I cannot answer in that regard. As to the recipients of the funds, indeed, that is a very fair comment. Almost nobody, for instance, even in the world of local government, feels that they fully understand that SSA system. That, I think, is a fair criticism. As I said earlier, the Government also itself accepts that that is a fair criticism of the local government distribution mechanism.
27. Do you see your way round that? Do you see any way in which you can associate the money that is given to the actual region with the problems that are supposed to be influencing the allocation?
(Professor McLean) It is quite difficult, I believe. You can attempt to do a statistical regression formula, which SSA is, but do it better, or you can abandon the regression approach and go for some, I would say, more data-poor indicator or information-poor indicator, but nevertheless one which may be no less equitable. In the paper I suggest inverse GDP as an example of such a thing, and I would be willing to expand on what I mean by that, should Members wish me to. I am not terribly optimistic that any governmentI am not making a party point herecan do all that much better than the present SSA formulae if they stick to a regression formula, because there are some really quite severe statistical and methodological systems problems associated with it, which I set out in the paper. The essential one is the one that I mentioned in my answer to Mr Laws, namely that the data which determine need are themselves derived from the authorities which receive the grants, and there is a danger of circularity there.
28. You have referred to the GDP per head, and that is in Table 1 of your paper. You say that the GDP per head per region is "another prima facie indicator of regional wealth and poverty". How do those differences between the English regions compare with the differences between similar regions in France, Germany and Italy, for instance?
(Professor McLean) I do not have an immediate answer to that. I could check it and tell the Committee later[3].
29. But is there a greater variety, a greater spread or a cluster?
(Professor McLean) My impression is that the variety within the UK is fairly wide among the EU Member States, but that really is something I should not make a statement on when I do not really know the position. It is fairly easily checked from the sources.
30. Would the GDP per head be a better way of looking at this problem than the allocation of regional funds?
(Professor McLean) I believe that it might be, yes. That is one of the arguments in my paper, yes. One of the reasons for saying that is that GDP per head is a number which is not determined by government decisions, it is the product of all the actions of all the agents in the economy and it is measured as part of National Statistics under the protection of which national statistics have to be measured in a non-partisan way.
31. How have other countries managed in trying to even up the prosperity of their different regions?
(Professor McLean) Again, that is a question where I could commission a review of the literature, but I would be diffident to give an answer here and now which might make it sound as if I had more authority than I have. I think, though, that the countries which do it best are those that have an active intergovernmental body which oversees this matter. Australia, Canada and Germany I think are often mentioned in the literature as cases in point.
32. Is there not a risk, if you conduct policy by putting more money into the regions that are most impoverished and less into the regions that are reasonably prosperous, that you are stunting growth overall? For instance, you might be putting money into a region that is entirely barren, meaning that resources in another region, which could be exploited for want of capital, are not exploited. Is there not a potential fallacy there, if you look at the well-being of the country as a whole?
(Professor McLean) There is a deep question about what government expenditure is for there, which clearly political parties take different views on. Again, I would be diffident to get into political controversy about it. But for most of the programmes on which Government spends money I think it is always going to be the case, whatever the partisan complexion of the Government, that more money per head one expects to go to poor areas and less money per head to go to rich areas, because a very large proportion of public expenditure is always going to be on health and social security, and one has to expect that health would be worse and poverty greater in poor parts of the country.
33. So you are saying that things are all right, and that this is the right way to do it, even if you may be holding the whole growth of the economy back?
(Professor McLean) No, I am not saying that either, because I do not knowand I am not sure that any academic knows and nor, I think, does any Member or civil servant in the Government knowwhether expenditure which might help economic growth, expenditure on industry, expenditure on communications, expenditure above all on human capital formation, is being distributed as efficiently as it can be. That is a huge question. Very probably it is not, but I cannot tell this Committee how it should be spent differently.
Chairman: Now we are going to venture onto some of the forbidden ground.
Mr Cousins
34. Professor McLean, the Barnett Formula was intended to be, by its designers, by its inventors, a convergence formula, but it has not converged. Expenditures between England and some of its regions, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have not in fact converged. Why is that?
(Professor McLean) My view is that it did not converge for the first 20 years or so of Barnett, but that it has started to converge now, and it particularly, in my view, has started to converge during the current spending review period that we are in. The reasons that it did not converge before that are many and various, and I give some of them in the paper. One is that the population relativities were wrong. Until 1992 the formulae treated Scotland as if it had a higher population than it actually did. A second reasonand I have to say, this is quite a political one, it is in my paper, but I believe it to be trueis that the Conservative Party after all certainly was until recently entitled the Conservative and Unionist Party, and it is by reputation the party which cares most strongly about the Union of the United Kingdom. John Major's manifesto in 1997 made great play of the fact that in his view the other three parties were intent on or had policies which would lead to damage to the Union. It is not surprising, in my view, therefore, that the Conservative Governments have been particularly keen to spend money in territories which pose a credible threat to the Union, and those two territories have usually been Scotland and Northern Irelandnot Wales, as I argue in the paper, because Wales has mostly not been a credible threat to the Union. I think that is probably the deepest underlying reason for the failure of Barnett to converge. If I have taken a potshot at Conservative Governments it is only fair of me to take a potshot at Labour Governments as well and say that a third reason has been that not the last two Labour Governments, but the Labour Government before the last two had been very concerned not to lose seats in Scotland because they needed Scottish seats to form a UK majority government. This has led Labour Governments also to be very sensitive to the needs of Scotland.
35. Not being a Conservative, though possibly a Unionist, I cannot really follow you down that track. What I am looking for are the more technical reasons why the Barnett formula did not converge, did not produce convergence.
36. Right. Restricting myself to technical reasons, I would say firstly the failure to adjust population correctly. Secondly, there has always been liberty to spend outside of Barnett, and I believe the Conservative Secretaries of State for Scotland did so with considerable freedom in the years up to 1997. This did not ever operate to the benefit of Wales until 2000 and the row about the Objective 1 status of West Wales and the Valleys and finally the granting of matching funding to that area, which went outside Barnett. So I would sayand I think most others who have studied Barnett would saythat the technical reasons for the failure to converge are mostly those two. There is a third highly technical reason to do with whether Barnett operates on nominal or real expenditure. Up to about 1985 Barnett operated on increases in real expenditure, so that if there were to be an increase in real expenditure in England then there would be a proportionateproportionate, that is, to populationincrease in real expenditure offered to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. But in the 1980s, years of relatively high inflation and in aggregate no real growth in public expenditure, as there was no real growth there was nothing for the convergence mechanism to bite on. In the mid-1980s, for reasons essentially unrelated to Barnett, for reasons of changes in cash planning and so on, the formula changed to operating on nominal increases, and then that meant that although it was not the case that every year there was a real increase in spending in England on public services, it was always the case that there was a nominal increase in spending in England on public services each year, and thereforea proportionate nominal increase, proportionate to number of population, was applied to the other three territories. It is probably difficult for Members to keep this in their heads without the advantage ofIf you can do differential equation systems in your head, then what I am saying I hope is sufficiently clear to follow, but if not it might be easier on paper. Let me simply assert what is, I believe, mathematically true, which is that once Barnett starts to operate on nominal and not on real targets, then convergence is potentially faster.
37. Faster?
(Professor McLean) Yes, faster.
38. Can I turn very briefly to the other aspect of the Barnett Formula, which is what you described as being an anti-rounding-up devicethat is to say, it produced a block of spending, a block of money, rather than trying to piece together a whole series of items which were separately calculatedand that, because it was a block item, provided greater discipline, if you like, than building it up from a series of individual blocks. You commend in your paper that particular feature of the Barnett Formula, do you not?
(Professor McLean) Yes.
39. Is the implication of that that you see that feature of the Barnett Formulathat it works through a common allocation, with its own internal allocation disciplinesas being something that might be an advantage when we are looking at resource allocation systems between the English regions?
(Professor McLean) In a word, yes. I think the move to a block from the previous arrangement where, under Goschen formulae or under simply programme by programme bargaining between what was the Secretary of State for Scotland and now the Treasury Chief Secretary, the Scots could always claim a Goschen proportion, as it were, and if they were good at bargaining they might claim something more than Goschen, so they were always in a position, so people, including Joel Barnett and his civil servants at the time complained, that they were able to get an even higher share of public expenditure than if a Scottish block were offered. In that regard to a great extent I regard Barnett as having been a success. It did offer a block, and this does impose some financial discipline on the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish spending departments.

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has announced its top 10 garden pests for 2013, based on enquiries received by the charity's entomologists. As in 2012, slugs and snails topped the list.
The exceptional rainfall in 2012 produced one of the wettest summers on record and created the perfect mild, damp conditions for slugs and snails to thrive - sending the slimy blighters to the top of the gardening gripe list.
Damage from slugs and snails mainly occurs during spring to autumn, affecting seedlings and many ornamental plants and vegetables, especially potatoes, hostas and daffodils.
While slugs and snails continued to frustrate gardeners, perhaps the biggest surprise of the 2013 list was the appearance of the plum moth (ranked eighth), which has never before featured among the top 10 garden pests. The small, pink caterpillars of the plum moth feed inside the ripening fruits of plums, damsons and greengages.
Enquiries about mice and voles (fourth place) also saw a sharp increase, with numbers hitting a 24-year high. These small rodents pose a number of challenges to gardeners: the tunnelling activities of voles can disturb the roots of plants and disfigure lawns, they also gnaw the bark from the roots and stems of tree and shrubs. Mice can be a problem in storage areas, and in the garden they eat fruit and seedlings.
Vine weevil is a top five enquiry in most years and 2013 was no exception, with the pest occupying the number two spot. Vine weevil is one of the few garden pests capable of killing plants; while the adults cause superficial damage by eating notches in the leaf margins of a wide range of herbaceous plants, it is the larvae feeding on roots, especially those grown in pots or containers, that prove fatal for plants.
The grubs of vine weevil munch their way through entire root systems
Other pests for which the number of enquiries increased were capsid bugs (third). In 2013 enquiries reached the highest level for 25 years. Capsid bugs are highly destructive pests that suck sap from the shoot tips and flower buds of a wide range of plants, including hydrangea, fuchsia and roses.
Capsid bug damage on a fuchsia
Other top 10 pests included cushion scale (fifth), glasshouse red (two-spotted) spider mite (sixth), mealybug (seventh), ants (equal ninth) and lily beetle (equal ninth).
RHS Senior Entomologist Andrew Salisbury said: 'If damp weather continues through 2014, it is likely that slugs will remain the number one pest. However, it will depend on weather conditions for the rest of the year - if the spring and summer is dry, slug/snail activity will drop, and they may not be number one when we collate the data at the end of the year."

Anabolic steroids can cause the development of acne. However, the extent to which it is experienced can be due to a number of varying factors, with the particular steroids and exact dosages used being primary. The skin´s sebaceous glands have a particularly high affinity to Dihydrotestosterone, which is an androgen the body naturally produces from testosterone via the enzyme 5-alpha Reductase. Increased sebaceous gland activity promotes oily skin which can combine with bacteria and dead skin (normal wear and tear) eventually causing pores to become clogged more quickly than the body can cleanse them. This of course, is preventable by using only particular steroids, cleansing the skin regularly, and perhaps using a topical anti-androgen.
The most commonly used AAS in medicine are testosterone and its various esters (but most commonly testosterone undecanoate , testosterone enanthate , testosterone cypionate , and testosterone propionate ), [53] nandrolone esters (most commonly nandrolone decanoate and nandrolone phenylpropionate ), stanozolol , and metandienone (methandrostenolone). [1] Others also available and used commonly but to a lesser extent include methyltestosterone , oxandrolone , mesterolone , and oxymetholone , as well as drostanolone propionate , metenolone (methylandrostenolone), and fluoxymesterone . [1] Dihydrotestosterone (DHT; androstanolone, stanolone) and its esters are also notable, although they are not widely used in medicine. [54] Boldenone undecylenate and trenbolone acetate are used in veterinary medicine . [1]

Soraka Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey, and welcome! =)
This is my Soraka build, been playing Soraka alot the last months. Promis you will succed with this build, but all depends how you play, soraka is a champ you have to play really defensive with. This is my first build! So be kind, and I hope you guys have a good time with it! LEAVE CRITICISM IF YOU HAVE IT! I appreciate any feedback i can get. Thanks!
Btw its not a finish build so plz dont downrate it for that. Will update it later but not today lolz. Try it out! =)
- Best Healer ingame
- Free mana
- Silencer
- Good passive aura
- Starcall reduce MR from others
- Easy to get assists (ulti)
- Squishy
- Gets targeted in teamfights
- Weak attack spells
- Worst farmer early game
Starcall: Strikes nearby enemy units for 60/90/120/150/180 (+25 of AP) magic damage and reduces their Magic Resistance by 8 for 8 seconds This effect stacks up to 20 times.
All depends when i get this one, but after lvl 5 i get rank 1, only to lasthit mobs to get some Ca$h.
Astral Blessing: Restores 80/135/190/245/300 (+100% of AP) health and grants 35 bonus armor for 9 seconds.
Main spell for Soraka, and when you get all the items this one gonna heal for 800 - 900 HP and 5 sec CD. The best thing is that when cast it will grant your target 35+ armor. Not bad if you meet nasty melee.
Infuse Best spell in the game. If cast on ally it will restor 250 mana on rank 5. And if you use it on a enemy it will silence them for 3 sec and deal 250 dmg great harras spell when you have rank 2 or 3. I try to save this one in the teamfights to silence enemies like Annie or Fiddle. Lucky you got Clarity ;)
Wish Instantly restores 250/400/550 (+130% of AP) health to all allied champions. This is tha ****! Really nice insta heal, and it heal EVERYONE on the map. I use to tell my team mates to ping the map before they engage the enemy so i am prepare to use it so i can get the assisst and get one more stack in Mejai's.
Main Summoner Spells
Great spell for soraka and her partner! I always use this spell when i play soraka whatever what. Great to have when you laning with Anvia or simular mana thirsty champs if you have Insight (recommended).
People say this one is only for noobs... WRONG!!! This one helps alot through the whole game. When you dont have CRD and little AP this one can be a lifesaver early game. And late game its even better, Wish + Heal can get the whole team up to full HP in 1 sec. (Maybe not the tanks, but the rest of the team)
Summoner Spells you might get
Overall a nice spell to get away fast, or chase down fleeing champs, but thats it. I never use it and will probl never pick this one for Soraka.
Same here, nice get away spell for Soraka, prefer ghost instead of Flash. If you never played Soraka i recommend to get this one instead of heal. And if you dont want to have Boots of Mobility, i say ghost is a must.
Its REALLY hard to get gold with Soraka, and if you feel its hard to last hit mobs this can help. But dont forget to get Plentiful Bounty if you choose Smite
All around nice spell, helps you get around the map to your team mates who are either ganking or getting ganked.
Never used this one, but if you know when to use it go for it instead of heal.
Summoner Spells to stay away from!
Buy sightward instead.
No, you will never engage the enemy so you dont need it and will never use it.
Let the tanks get this one.
Useless spell lolz
Nice spell but you will not need it.
If you want kills then go ahead, but you are a support champ so no! I use to pick it if the opposit team have Taric, Nidalee or Kayle and no one else take it.
Core Item Build
Prefer this boots instead of Boots of Swiftness or Mercury's Treads. If you play right in teamfights, and stay away you will never be stuned or engaged, and make it easy to switch lane for a sec and heal up your mates if they are low on health and mana then get back to the old lane. The best part is, when you heal you dont enter combat. So if you never attack, the opposit team will never catch you.
This is the best item you can get early game for soraka in my opinion(if you dont die to much), does not cost much and help you get more poweful heals for the team. And when u get 20 stacks you get 15% CDR. If you use your Ulti at the right time you will get full stack in no time, then everyone will try to kill you haha.
Same here, does not cost to much, and give you CRD, mana and armor, stats that are so much needed for Soraka.
You dont want to be all Squishy, this item give you some health, CRD and manaregen for you and your team mates

Surface Area Lab
Lesson 7 of 11
Objective: Students will be able to compare the surface area of a whole in contrast to a crushed Alka Seltzer tablet as it reacts with water.
This lesson is based on California's Middle School Integrated Model of NGSS.
NGSS Performance Expectation (PE): (MS-PS1-2) Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occured.
Science and Engineering Practice (SEP) 3: Planning and Carrying out Investigations
Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCI): PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter - Substances are made from different types of atoms, which combine with one another in various ways. Atoms form molecules that range in size from two to thousands of atoms.
Crosscutting Concepts (CCC) 2: Cause and Effect - Cause and Effect relationships may be used tp predict phenomena in natural or designed systems.
This lab is designed to provide the students with a simple, safe, and effective method of testing if surface area can increase the rate of a chemical reaction. Students will time the difference in reaction rates between a whole Alka Seltzer tablet and a crushed Alka Seltzer tablet. Since the crushed tablet exposes more particles to the reacting water it will react at a faster rate. Mixing Alka Seltzer and water is the cause and the production of carbon dioxide bubbles in the effect (CCC2). This lesson allows my students pose testable questions (does surface area increase reaction rate?) and plan effective labs to seek the answer (unPD - support students designing effective investigations).
I run this lab as a series with two other labs, Decomposing Water Lab and Catalyst Lab (Elephants Toothpaste).
Set-up (Prelab)
Equipment Needed
- 1000 mL beaker or a large glass jar
- 2 Alka Seltzer tablets
- stop watch
- blank paper
- water
Trial 1 - whole tablet
- fill the beaker with 800 ml of water
- place 1 whole tablet in water
- time results
Trial 2 - crushed tablet
- empty and clean beaker
- fill beaker with 800 ml of water
- place tablet between a folded sheet of paper and crush
- pour crushed tablet in water
- time results
Student Activity (Lab)
Pass out a copy of the Surface Area Lab to each student. I provide all the necessary supplies and safety goggles in a plastic box at the center of each table. It is imperative that students wear safety goggles for this activity.
I tell my students that they are going to compare the rate of two reactions. One reaction will be with a whole Alka Seltzer tablet and water producing carbon dioxide bubbles. The other reaction will be with a crushed Alka Seltzer tablet and water producing carbon dioxide bubbles. The difference between the two reactions is the surface are of the Alka Seltzer tablets exposed to the water. More surface area produces a faster reaction rate.
The chemical formula that describes this reaction is:
This formula may be overwhelming to eighth graders so I typically explain that an Alka Seltzer tablet when exposed to water will produce carbon dioxide bubbles.
When it comes time to crushing the tablet I have the kids place the tablet between a folded sheet of paper and hit the tablet with a textbook. Use the folder paper to help slide the crushed tablet into the beaker of water.
Crushed Alka Seltzer Tablet and water.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
As part of this assignment the students are required to develop a question they want to ask, form a hypothesis of what they think will happen, record data relating to the question, and state their conclusion based on the data.
They also have to answer four questions in complete sentences.
- Which trial reacted fastest? Why?
- Which trial reacted slowest? Why?
- Explain how surface area affects the rate of reaction.
- What evidence did you observe to prove this was a chemical reaction?
Example of Student Work
I created a Powerpoint: Rates of Chemical Reactions that describes the factors of how chemical reactions can be increased. This lesson has the students crushing an Alka Seltzer tablet which increases the amount of the tablet exposed to the reacting water.
I created a mnemonic sentence to help with remembering the four factors that increase the rate of reactions:
Camels swim to Catalina
- Concentration
- Surface Area
- Temperature
- Catalyst
For review I have also included: Evidence of a Chemical Reaction. This covers the evidence needed in order to prove a chemical reaction has occurred.
I created another mnemonic sentence to help students remember the evidence of a chemical reaction.
Cats tell stories of ghosts.
- Change in color/light.
- Change in temperature.
- Formation of a solid (precipitate).
- Formation of an odor.
- Formation of a gas.

"Two students have had relatives kidnapped, one had a cousin badly injured by a bomb, another lost an uncle in an explosion, and a shop owner in the same building as the school was kidnapped." And film students at USC and NYU thought they had challenges? The above description comes from Variety contributor Ali Jaafar, who reports in a story "Learning the hard way" about the troubles students face at the Independent Film & Television College in Baghdad, which opened in 2004 and offers free intensive filmmaking courses.
Despite the strife, and the fact that can't advertise for fear of violent retribution from fundamentalist gangs, the film school offers hope, according to founders and once exiled Iraqi filmmakers Kasim Abid and Maysoon Pachachi.
"Even I don't know how, but every day they keep coming and concentrating," Abid told Variety. "Sometimes I think, what can a film do in this situation when there's no meaning to life. But this is a period for Iraq that needs to be recorded for history."
I'd already heard about the country first's post-invasion feature, Oday Racheed's "Underexposure," which received mix reviews out of Rotterdam, but I have not yet heard news on Mohamed Al-Daradji's "Ahlaam," which played at the Seattle Film Festival in May. Is there an Iraqi film wave on the horizon?

Analytics can play a crucial role in creating compelling user experiences and it's no secret that some of the savviest companies study their analytics data religiously in an effort to satisfy their users and customers.
Thanks to the rise of the smartphone, 'creating compelling user experiences' for many companies increasingly involves building native mobile apps. And that means collecting mobile analytics data.
When it comes to which services are used to capture that data, Google Analytics users who would like to use it for their native mobile apps received good news yesterday: Google's Mobile App Analytics offering, which was launched in closed beta at the Google I/O conference earlier this year, has been moved into an open beta.
In conjunction with the Mobile App Analytics open beta debut, Google has released new Android and iOS SDKs which it promises are "really easy to implement" but equally "powerful."
The SDK supports new reports, including:
- An App Versions report that allows companies to break app usage down by version. This can be used, for instance, to measure how many users are upgrading to a new version of an app, and how many would be left behind if an older version is deprecated.
- A Custom Dimensions structure that Google calls the "next-generation Custom Variables." With Custom Dimensions, it is possible to create more segmented views of app activity.
According to Google, Mobile App Analytics is taking big steps forward, but these steps are just the beginning. Given the growing importance of native apps to many companies, and the price of Google's offering (free!), that's bound to be music to the ears for businesses trying to figure out how to make the most of their app strategy.
Comments (3)
I think this is really big news. Smartphones are becoming increasingly powerful and mobile apps are the best option to leverage this trend in the most broad and economical manner. I think were going to see an increased movement towards creative mobile app usage this year.
Hi Patricio,
Great news! Thanks for sharing. As the mobile aspects of business is becoming an ever increasing aspects of our daily lives and being mobile a big advantage for working (doing business related queries and tasks) while on the go. Especially the mobile reporting feature.
Nice piece. I agree with nearly all your points and actually wrote a
blog along very similar lines. It would be great if you took a look and
we could discuss this in a bit more detail perhaps.

The painted space in the Far East Ⅰ
Now, colored leaves have greeting time of the full ripeness.
The colored leaves have been used as a subject of the haiku and the waka in the Far East poem.
They are symbols to show the maturity of the life.
The autumn colored leaves feel that they are effective in healing a heart.

Ruma, what magnificent foliage! I could sit for hours ( perhaps with a glass of cold sake or wine ) and gaze blissfully at this. I haven't seen such brilliant colors in many years.

5th International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII 2013)
The fifth biannual Humaine Association Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII 2013) will be held in Geneva, Switzerland on September 2-5, 2013, and is organized in cooperation with the AAAI and Technically Co-Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society and will be indexed in IEEEXplore.
The Conference series on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction is the premier international forum for research on affective and multimodal human-machine interaction and systems.
This ACII edition will emphasize the humanistic side of affective computing by promoting publications at the cross-road between engineering and human sciences (including biological, social and cultural aspects of human life).
The ACII conference will be organized by the Computer Vision and Multimedia Laboratory and the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences from the University of Geneva . Geneva has one of Europe's most beautiful sceneries, situated between a lake and mountains and is a highly international city where English speaking is common. It has been a cultural center for many centuries and home to many creative spirits in the fields of science and art.
The conference will address, but is not limited to, the following topics:
• Computational and psychological models of emotion;
• Affect in arts entertainment and multimedia;
• Bodily manifestations of affect (facial expressions, posture, behavior, physiology);
• Databases for emotion processing: development and issues;
• Affective interfaces and applications (games, learning, dialogue systems…);
• Ecological and continuous emotion assessment;
• Affect in social interactions.

Without Warning is a wonderful novel not to be underestimated or overlooked. Its brilliant writing coupled with its kick-butt heroine (and hero who had me at "Marine") who is as capable of rescuing as she is of being rescued...
Katie Singleton's personal and professional life is wrought with tragedy. But the one constant in her life is her work as an elite bodyguard at Elite Guardians. Her current client she happened upon quite by accident. Though he's known for his string of popular gourmet restaurants, Daniel Matthews never expected to be the subject of a stalker. When Katie becomes involved in Daniel's life after a suspected arsonist sets his restaurant ablaze, and the discovery of a body, Katie assists the former Marine in discovering who is behind this.
...her heart [overflowed] with love for the man who held her, for the God who gave them a beautiful new sunrise each morning, for... life."
An Eason signature is the adrenaline rush that comes with every story she pens, and this one is no different. The pace clips through the story at breakneck speed weaving in and out of the whodunit type questions the prose ponders. Everything comes down to a simple fact. Lynette Eason trademarks the best in smart, "elite" and gripping romantic suspense. Without Warning is a wonderful novel not to be underestimated or overlooked. Its brilliant writing coupled with its kick-butt heroine (and hero who had me at "Marine") who is as capable of rescuing as she is of being rescued (yes there is a distinction and yes, there is nothing wrong with either scenario). Fans of authors like Ronie Kendig or Dani Pettery are sure to discover another must read inside the pages of Without Warning. So you've been warned: don't miss it!
Witty dialogue and a simmering attraction will have readers flying through this tension-laced thriller. Eason exercises complete control of her readers' emotions as they race through the pages to discover the truth. - Goodreads
Maddy awakens in a cement room with no idea where she is. But it's not long before she realizes she's in the clutches of a madman exacting revenge by hunting. His prey of choice? Humans. Now Maddy and Quinn must run for their lives, hoping to find their killer before the next game begins. Because if they don't win this game, they die. - Goodreads, Amazon | Goodreads
Sincere thanks to the publisher for providing a complimentary copy of this book for reviewing purposes.

Build Guide by pandaroo

Nunu Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Step 1: Start off with Dorian's Shield + Health Potion. Start off at mana golem. To kill mana golem you can smite, auto attack until you take two hits from the mana golem, then pop consume and autoattack the mana golem until he dies. If you will need the health potion (due to lack of runes), make sure to pop it right one second after you consume. With these cooldown reductions you should be able to consume a small mana golem camp minion right after you kill the mana golem. You can attack the other minion to death. This should tide you over to lvl 2. You then move to the wolf camp and take that. A consume + one attack will kill the main wolf. You should be able to consume a small wolf after you finish autoattacking one to death (with maybe one cast of ice blast). You can then take banshee camp. Consume the main banshee and autoattack/iceblast the other minions. You should be able to consume another minion. Smite will be off cooldown by the time you then move to the lizard camp. You will probably have about 2/3rd of your health as you approach lizard camp. This is normal. Smite, iceblast, consume as needed. You should only need to consume the lizard once, and spamming iceblast/autoattack will take care of the rest. You can then consume a small minion at the camp to heal.
Step 2: There is where the interesting choice comes in. You can A) go for the 2 golem camp or B) go in the other team's jungle. You will be lvl 3 at this point. I usually prefer to go to the other team's jungle. If the other team has a jungler, you could go check their blue or red. However otherwise i would go for their wolf camp and then their mana golem camp. Then you have to walk the long way around, taking your banshee and wolf camp. You should then be lvl 5 and ready to take dragon. This should be around the 5-6 minute mark ideally. You should have almost full health after you consume the dragon at first. Spam bloodboil as necessary, use iceblasts, and consume. Note: You will reach dangerously low health when dragon hits 1k hp. This is where the CD runes matter, especially if you don't have all runes. You should be able to consume the dragon to kill it and actually needing the full true damage value of consume. You don't need full runes to accomplish this. 2/3rds of these runes will work and 1/0/21 masteries will work (with 1 point in smite). At this point you will have around 1.6k. Some lane fights will definitely be going on and you can go appropriately to help. Ultimately the goal is to be able to buy rod of ages before you have to ever recall back. Now is where a perfect description of all your actions end. You have to judge what to do essentially, with the exception of taking dragon when it reappears if possible.
Rationale: Although Nunu's passive preserves mana and we have 1 mana/s from masteries, the golem buff allows for cooldown reduction as well and is overall the best choice to start with. You should have 100+ HP if you popped the health potion even with minimal to no runes. Dorian's Shield is taken as a first item because of its versatility and usefulness. This is a very anti-spell focused build. Mercury threads and Banshee's provide MR, as such even a little armor helps. Doing mana golem 1st is a lot harder with dorian's ring and will probably require full runes and masteries. We can skimp on buying boots right after Dorian's shield because bloodboil provides a run speed boost, flash allows you to escape, and iceblast can slow any single champion trying to chase you. We buy rod of ages so it will obtain its full effect faster. At any moment after you get rod of ages, you may decide to get elixirs of brilliance for additional CD reduction so you can spam iceblasts to do some damage in team fights. Often when buildling for banshee's you may choose to buy elixirs in between. These elixirs are to provide you with a temporary advantage to make up for the lack of extreme AP in this build. Mercury Threads may be substituted for Sorcerer's boots but I believe the extra 25 MR > 20 Magic penetration especially given the lack armor/MR in this build. After banshee's veil, i would usually buy elixirs of both fortitude and brilliance and build an optional item that may depend on the situation. Although Nunu will have over 4k HP, his armor will probably be lacking. As such you will probably want an armor item or another HP item. As for summoner spells, smite is taken for obvious reasons to optimize jungling. Flash is taken to escape from dragon if necessary and to escape a gank in the jungle and overall in the game. Flash is especially important because we avoid buying boots for a long time and since blood boil doesn't equate to the speed of boots.
Actual Gameplay that isn't jungling : there isn't much here except to say to use ice blast on the appropriate targets in team fights, timing your ultimate with a teammate's stun, slow, fear of some sort. You can disrupt your ulti to do minor damage if they are about to escape. Bloodboil your teammates to help them do a variety of things including escaping and giving your physical DPS more attack speed. This works great especially with someone who buys items with on-hit effects like Madred's or champions with per hit effects like Kog' Maw.
