New mother Suranne Jones 'very happy with lot' after Bafta win
Actress Suranne Jones cannot believe she has won a Bafta less than two months after giving birth.
The actress picked up the best actress award for her role in BBC drama Doctor Foster after becoming a mother for the first time in March.
Clutching her mask statuette backstage, she told the Press Association: "If someone had told me I would have had a husband, a baby and a Bafta in 2016, I would not have believed them. I'm very happy with my lot."
Suranne Jones savours her victory
Poldark star Aidan Turner said that winning a Bafta is the most surreal thing that had happened since the show began.
Clutching the mask statuette, he said: "This is pretty cool, winning a Bafta audience award."
He added: "It's rare I get offered anything but this was one that you read and can't turn down. I don't think any of us could expect the success it would be."
However, he remained tight-lipped about the second series of the hit drama, saying: "I can't tell you anything, I would get fired."
Debbie Horsfield, screenwriter of the show, was a little more forthcoming, saying: "It's darker, more intense, a few more tears."
Turner was equally tight-lipped about rumours he is in the running to take over the role of James Bond from Daniel Craig, saying: "It's just rumours, I don't know anything about it."
Sir Tom Courtenay, who won best supporting actor for Unforgotten, said he is glad the ceremony ends a long run of awards ceremonies that started when he won the top acting prize at the Berlin Film Festival in last February for 45 Years.
He said: "I'm glad this is the last one, I do find them a bit trying, they are very lengthy.
"I don't like going past people wanting autographs, I just want to say 'get a life'. Then they want a photograph too to prolong the agony."
Mary Berry, who collected the best features Bafta, explained how her life had changed since the show started.
She said: "It does mean that if I'm shopping people stop me, so often they touch me on the shoulder and say, 'I love the Bake Off' and 'I make your lemon drizzle cake'. They never criticise it and say the whole family watches. Many parents say all generations and a baby in arms are all watching it together and it's so satisfying.
"There are so many baking competitions on Fridays now with people taking cakes into work. It really has got everybody raising money through baking too."
Ian Hislop, who collected the award for best comedy and comedy entertainment programme for Have I Got News For You and performed a little jig backstage, said he did not believe the show would fare well if plans to reform the BBC went ahead.
He said: "I don't think we would be on, I can't imagine it, the tendency to interfere is always there, politicians do it and it's one of the reasons I made a fuss about the Leveson proposals.
"If you get the state regulating the press then the press can no longer regulate the state and the same is true about broadcasting. They have got a royal charter and it's not helping them much.
" It's so extreme. We have all had a lot of fun with John Whittingdale and suddenly he's proposing something absolutely extraordinary, that the state appoints the editorial board of the national broadcaster, it's ludicrous."
Leigh Francis, who triumphed in the entertainment performance category for hosting Celebrity Juice as his alter ego Keith Lemon, said he never expected to win.
He said: " I'm rarely up for an award as Leigh Francis, I was trembling and now I'm thinking of all the people I should have thanked for helping me to be Keith Lemon and I didn't, I just lost it. I'm never me, I don't want to be.
"I've got d ry mouth and my hands smell like I've been holding a bag of change because this is really metally and heavy. I just want to see my wife now. There might be some tears."

Present: Myoung Chung Wilson (chair), Ron Jantz, Marty Kesselman, Leslie Murtha (recorder), Pat Piermatti, Stephanie Tama-Bartels.
Meeting opened at 9:30 A.M.
Minutes approved.
Old Business
Librarians Without Borders
Stephanie Tama-Bartels reported on the pilot project "Librarians Without Borders." This project is an experiment to take reference services outside the library to places where potential patrons congregate.
The "Librarians without Borders" team consists of Triveni Kuchi, Laura Mullins, and Stephanie Tama-Bartels; some other librarians have volunteered to participate as well. An outpost was established at the Busch Campus Center adjacent to the Information Kiosk. The outpost is scheduled to be open for 4 weeks; from April 8 through May 8, Monday through Thursday from 11 A.M. - 2 P.M. and 7 P.M.- 9 P.M. Hours were chosen on the basis of traffic patterns in the Campus Center. Statistics are being collected, and patrons are being surveyed for their reactions. If the project is to be continued, timing will be an important consideration, both in terms of hours of service and in terms of the times of year when the service is available. To increase the visibility of the service, it was suggested that a sign be placed on the LSM Reference Desk at closing time to direct patrons to Busch Campus Center for the duration of the project.
It was suggested that the statistics should include a category for Access Services questions, so that it would be possible to evaluate the importance of adding an Access Services component to the service, should the pilot be developed further. There was also a suggestion that there might be the potential to merge this service with the Real-Time Reference project by providing library kiosks in various buildings to connected to the real-time service.
The project has already generated favorable public relations; the service point was visited by some members of the Board of Governors after their last meeting. Enthusiasm was expressed. The enthusiastic support of the administrations of the Busch Campus Center and Rutgers College is also appreciatively noted.
The LWB team will issue a report following the close of the pilot project. An accountability report will also be required in conjunction with the ACIC grant.
Various aspects of the Ask-a-Librarian service were discussed. Concerns were raised concerning division of labor. ISSG would like to remind everyone on the Ask-a-Librarian team, and all future participant, that it is important that Reference Librarians allow Access Services team members to answer all questions relating to their bailiwick, just as Access Services staff must leave reference questions to the Reference Team. Anything else impairs the quality of the service.
Ron Jantz suggested that the SCC might be able to give assistance in the development of automated features to help streamline the Ask-a-Librarian service. This project was originally developed as a PROP proposal. Myoung will draft a proposal for consideration by the interested parties.
Real-Time Reference
Marty Kesselman reported on the pilot project to provide online reference services in a chat environment. The project is scheduled to be available Monday - Friday, 1 P.M. - 4 P.M., from April 8 to May 18. The project is using a product called Live Assistance, which allows librarians to chat with patrons, send them pre-formatted responses to common questions, push Web pages, and conduct an exit interview. The system also generates transcripts of the interaction, which can be sent to the patron for future reference, and can be used to generate reports about the service.
Some of the issues that have arisen so far are:
Network traffic can impede the usability of the service.
Although it is possible to send a patron the URL for a restricted-access resource, only patrons who are recognized by the vendors of those resources as members of the RU community will actually be able to make use of the information.
It was suggested that signs be placed in all the computer labs to publicize the service.
A decision was made to consider providing reference service at Douglass Library this summer using this model. A terminal would be made available at the Reference Desk, and the service would be staffed at designated times. Marty will draft a proposal.
ISSG would like to go on record as supporting the idea that this service,
if established as an ongoing commitment, should be restricted to the Rutgers
New Business
Myoung Chung Wilson led a discussion of issues concerning the training of our student work force. There is a need for consistency of training for reference and information assistants across NB. This can best be accomplished through a combination of written material and group/individual instruction. It would be best if the student work force could be given a common orientation before the beginning of the semester; however, this is not feasible, since student workers join the staff over the course of the semester, rather than all coming at the beginning.
All reference coordinators are asked to review the NBL training manual and their individual unit manuals, so that an attempt can be made to merge them into a single document.
There was discussion of the commonalities and differences in the training of students for different public services duties, and a recommendation to investigate common needs with Access Services. It was suggested that some training could be accomplished by developing online modules.
Discussion was tabled until the next meeting, when we will address issues of for whom training needs to be developed, how ISSG should be involved, and how we can cooperate with other functional teams for greater efficiency in this area.
Myoung distributed blank calendar templates for collecting information about recurring events in the academic year. Everyone is asked to contribute information about their library units and campuses. Examples of appropriate information to include would be cyclical grants, conferences, periodic reports, personnel cycles (e.g. PFP, FASIP), new student orientation, instruction cycles, among other things. The purpose of developing this calendar is to enable us to be better prepared to make decisions and seize opportunities.
Everyone is reminded that requests for voucher funds for the coming academic year must be submitted before July 1.
Future Meetings
Items recommended for future agendas include a discussion of how the libraries can best support the use of bibliographic software, and a continued discussion of training issues.
The next meeting will be Thursday, May 16, at Kilmer Library.
Meeting was adjourned at 11:30 A.M.
Respectfully submitted by Leslie Murtha, 4/29/02

Resurrection Vintage
Set inside of what used to be a Mott Street funeral parlor, Resurrection Vintage has the look of velvety coffin lining with the price tags of a burial to boot.
Founders Katy Rodriguez and Mark Haddawy opened their first Resurrection boutique in 1996 at the site of a 1920's East Village funeral home keeping some of its distinct features, including an ominous coffin-lifter right outside the front door. The altar was transformed into two dressing rooms decorated with black and white photographs of various burial ceremonies and wakes (whether any of these photos are from that particular parlor, the shop manager is unsure).
Quickly the shop became famous as one of the premiere vintage stores in New York City and a location in SoHo was established.
The location on Mott Street carries designers like Chanel, Versace, Vivianne Westwood, and most famously British designer Ozzie Clark.
Adding just another eerie touch, Brian Hollingsworth, manager at Resurrection SoHo, explained some of the clothing on sale come from Estate sales, a liquidation of assets of deceased persons.
Clothing also makes its way to Resurrection via private auctions and drop-offs from people looking to unload some of their own designer merchandise.
Hollingsworth characterizes the clothing and accessories on sale at Resurrection as "classic" and "representative of the designers," and said nearly all of the merchandise on sale is extremely high-end couture.
Designers and stylists are some of the top clientele at Resurrection because of the hefty price tags. Hollingsworth said Patricia Field stops in every now and then, more recently when dressing the stars of HBO's "Sex and the City". Chloe Sevigny, Liv Tyler, Gweneth Paltrow and Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen also drop in on Resurrection to pick up their vintage duds.
Celebrating the shops 13th Anniversary, the store has marked down prices on 13 of their designers. But don't expect to get Emilio Pucci on the cheap–regularly priced merchandise ranges from $250 to upwards of $5,000 (and $250 will only get you a belt).
Hollingsworth recognizes the prices are pretty steep, but said the pieces are worth every cent.
"You don't find a perfectly beaded Versace gown everyday," he said. "People have worn these clothes and they're still around and they're still in good condition."
"It's all very deep," he adds with a laugh.
Resurrection vintage is located at 217 Mott Street and can be reached at 212-625-1374. Make sure to bring deep pockets and lots of plastic!
Only Hearts
30 230 Mott St. location is one of two Only Hearts locations in New York City as it also has an Upper West Side store. Only Hearts is known for women's innerwear and outwear with pieces that range from handbags and costume jewelry to lingerie and tank tops. It also carries an assortment of dresses, pants, and even some shoes. Only Hearts has a variety of mainstream/"pick up and go" clothing that is perfect for the everyday woman (like a working mom) or for special occasions like an after five event. Also, most of the clothing at Only Hearts can be dressed up or dressed down with the appropriate accessories (handbag, jewelry, and shoes). The price range is from $50 to $500.
Only Hearts began in 1978 on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on Columbus Ave. and the original boutique was a virtual temple of hearts. The reason that the store is named Only Hearts is the focus on all things heart-shaped including pendants and plunging necklines that are sensual enough to exude romance and sexuality but tasteful enough not to be tacky or tawdry.
Started by designer Helena Stuart who graduated in from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 1969, Only Hearts embodies an inner outerwear concept in its clothing with underwear intimacy yet outerwear formality. The collection "Helena Stuart for Only Hearts" is designed and manufactured in New York City. Stuart is often seen as turning fashion inside out.
Michelle Cummings, 20, is from Seaford, Long Island and has been working at the Mott Street Only Hearts location for 8 months after being an intern with the store previously. Her co-worker Megan says that Only Hearts merchandise is different from that of a department store because it features an eclectic mix of designers like Carmen Ho and Alice McCall. Celebrities like Meg Ryan, Vanessa Carlton, and Hilary Swank shop at Only Hearts and Julienne Moore just bought several cream-colored crepe-de-chine slips as well.
Finding a bargain at Only Hearts is made easier from the sales tent that is located behind the store. Additionally, Only Hearts has two samples sales per year. The "delicious tops" are a hit for at Only Hearts It can be worn as a tank top or as lingerie and they range from $44 to $60.
Here 2nd year employee Megan talk about some of the most popular items, the sales tent, and what's it like working at Only Hearts among other things.

Power and Control
Abusers frequently use abusive and violent behaviors to gain and maintain control over their partners. Very often, one or more violent incidents or outbursts are followed by other types of abuse that are less easily identified. However, these tactics allow abusers to firmly establish a pattern of intimidation and control in the relationship.
This Power and Control diagram was developed by survivors to outline their shared experiences in abusive relationships. Though the diagram does not include every tactic or behavior used by abusers to gain power and control, it is inclusive of many survivors' experiences.

8x more accelerated
webpage loading
6x less disk, CPU, and
memory consumption
Just as webpages grew bloated with ads, so too have ad blockers grown bloated with little-used filtering rules and features that sap their speed and hog your computer or device's disk space, CPU cycles, and memory. Adblock Fast runs a mere 7 optimized filtering rules to accelerate pages 8x more but consume 6x less system resources than other ad blockers do.
Exactly how much faster, you ask, is Adblock Fast? Let's crunch some numbers.
- Filtering ruleset
- Install filesize
- Page load time
- Peak CPU use
- Peak memory use
- AdBlock
- 49,002 rules 49K rules
- 2.84s

- 7 rules
- 2.10s
- 6.6%
- Adblock Plus ABP
- 49,002 rules 49K rules

1. Adblock Fast runs 7,000x fewer filtering rules per page.1
- AdBlock: 49,002 rules
- Adblock Plus: 49,002 rules
- Adblock Fast: 7 rules
I.e., the app is more efficient.
2. Adblock Fast consumes 7x less kilobytes of disk.2
- AdBlock: 843 KB
- Adblock Plus: 543 KB
- Adblock Fast: 97 KB
I.e., the app installs faster.
3. Adblock Fast accelerates page loading 8x as many seconds.3
- No ad blocker: 3.17s (control)
- AdBlock: 2.84s (0.33s faster)
- Adblock Plus: 3.23s (0.06s slower)
- Adblock Fast: 2.10s (1.07s faster)
I.e., pages load faster.
4. Adblock Fast consumes a 3x lower percentage of CPU.4
- AdBlock: 19.4%
- Adblock Plus: 20.3%
- Adblock Fast: 6.6%
I.e., other apps run faster.
5. Adblock Fast consumes 3x less megabytes of memory.5
- AdBlock: 162.5 MB
- Adblock Plus: 158.0 MB
- Adblock Fast: 58.5 MB
I.e., other apps run faster still.

Questions, possibly to be asked frequently
Who created Adblock Fast?
Adblock Fast was created and is maintained by Rocketship, an award-winning app studio based in Palo Alto and San Francisco. Our mission is to design and develop the finest mobile and web experiences, of our own and for clients.
What is Adblock Fast?
Adblock Fast is a new, faster ad blocker for desktop browsers and mobile devices.
Where is Adblock Fast's filtering ruleset from?
Adblock Fast's ruleset is derived from EasyList and that of Bluhell Firewall. We're also testing an alternative ruleset that we expect to improve ad blocking yet another order of magnitude.
When will Adblock Fast be available on [insert platform here]?
Adblock Fast is available for the Chrome and Opera desktop browsers, for iOS 9 and up (on 64-bit devices, iPhone 5s and up and iPad mini 2 and up), and for Android 5.0 and up (with Samsung Internet 4.0 and up). Follow us on Facebook or on Twitter for news about additional platform availability.
Why does Adblock Fast require [insert permission here] at install time?
Like all (functional) ad blockers, Adblock Fast prompts you for the permissions required to block ad requests by intercepting your HTTP traffic and to hide ad resources by injecting CSS into the webpages you go to.
How does Adblock Fast make money?
Adblock Fast doesn't, nor do we intend for Adblock Fast to ever, make any money. We operate an (aforementioned) app studio that's bootstrapped and quite profitable. Yesterday, you probably didn't know we existed. Today, you do and, someday, perhaps you'll be creating the next killer app and will consider hiring us. (Hmm, maybe doing good work and shipping good products ought to replace advertising!) Unlike other ad blockers, we don't have to sell out to support our project.


text: When we first saw her, we though, what a very beautiful, if not supercute girl! It even got better when she got naked, and we saw what an amazing figure she has. Her natural breasts look almost too firm and perfect, full and in that shape all girls dream of having. Add to it her perfect butt, flawless, firm and so pretty, with the prettiest private part in between. Add to it pretty feet for you foot fetish fans! The video stars voyeur-style, while she is sitting at a park, reading a book, looking up her skirt, as she is not wearing any panties. Soon enough she is playing with her breasts, rubbing herself, then masturbating with her fingers, to an orgasm that surprised us with its wet results... She was very shy, as this was her first time doing this, but we will bring her back very soon, we promise.

Henry Barbour's PAC Funded Pro-Soros, Anti-Israel, Pro-Alinsky Radical Pastor
Republican National Committeeman Henry Barbour gave a controversial bishop with ties to George Soros, anti-Israel, and Alinksyite organizations over $144,000. Barbour, who headed the Mississippi Conservatives PAC, is under fire at the Chicago meeting of the RNC this week for funding racist ads that depicted U.S. Senate candidate Chris McDaniel as a klansman. Barbour's PAC was heavily […]Read Story

The Senate Government and Environment Committee voted Thursday to stop lawmakers from accepting free tickets from lobbyists to sporting events. Arizona Public Radio's Howard Fischer reports.
Legislators can accept things like free meals, travel and entertainment, subject only to filing regular reports. Sen. Michele Reagan said the ideal solution would be immediate reporting so voters could instantly see the interaction between their elected representatives and the special interests trying to influence them. But, Reagan said even if that could happen, her legislation is still necessary.
"It is my belief that, regardless of disclosure, no disclosure, whatever, there's no benefit to the public for us going to a sporting event or a rock concert," Reagan said.
The outcry over free tickets followed a scandal several years ago involving the Fiesta Bowl that dealt not only with laundered campaign contributions, but also lawmakers taking free tickets and never reporting them. Longtime lobbyist Barry Aarons, who sits on the Fiesta Bowl committee, questioned singling out entertainment for a ban — but not meals.
"To try to make a qualitative or even quantitative decision as to whether an $18 Diamondbacks ticket is more or less corruptive than a $100 dinner at the Capitol Grille, I don't see how you can do that," Aarons said.
And, Aarons suggested the proposal may simply be lawmakers caving to "media-fueled public pressure."

Honestly, choose a different school. There is not an open dining room where you can eat. It opens three times a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and during these times the food that they serve is easily less than a mediocre attempt at cooking. If you choose to attend this university you will need to bring your own food, or you will be eating out a lot. This year alone will cost me close to $13,000. Their UHV guarantee IS A LIE. I received the UHV Guarantee for my first two years and it only adds $500 a semester to your account. It does not cover tuition in the slightest. So here are some tips: 1) Bring your own food and expect terrible food in their dining area 2) The costs is well above what they want everyone to think 3) If you choose to go here, expect to have crowded laundry areas and washers and dryers that are rarely fixed.Read More

The fitWichita campaign will present weekday workouts at Riverfest. An earlier version of this story was incorrect.
Funnel cakes help define Riverfest, but this year it also will be a place to get fit, or at least to get all kinds of ideas for getting that way.
The festival is teaming up with the Health & Wellness Coalition, a nonprofit that promotes fitness and healthy eating, to bring the coalition's Find Your Fit campaign to the south lawn of the Hyatt.
The fest also will have participatory classes such as yoga, Jazzercise and Zumba and demonstrations of ways to get fit, along with samples of healthy food and inspiration, said Ann Keefer of the festival.
"You'll get a good workout just coming down and walking around," Keefer said of the festival. "The problem is you'll eat a funnel cake, and you'll have to do another loop." Or hit the Fit 'n' Fun Zone on the Hyatt lawn (aka WaterWalk Pavilion).
Each weekday lunch hour of the festival, the fitWichita campaign will have back-to-back sessions that will show people that they can do a 30-minute workout during work, said Becky Tuttle of the Health & Wellness Coalition. It is recommended that people get 30 minutes of fitness five days a week, and a lunch half-hour of activity during the workweek can get it done, Tuttle said.
Festivalgoers can head downtown Monday at 11:45 a.m. or 12:15 p.m. to do a fun and easy obstacle course that will give them ideas of things they can also do at home, Tuttle said. On Tuesday, they can sample tai chi. Wednesday, they will walk from the fit zone to the Keeper of the Plains. On Thursday, a DJ will play music and try to get line dances going, but also just to get people up and dancing, "just to get you moving, and you can have fun," Tuttle said.
A little healthy eating will be combined with the activity Friday, when Frisbees will be available to toss to others or to launch toward Hula Hoops and laundry baskets. Samples of grilled vegetables will be available. They'll be seasoned with balsamic vinegar and herbs for a low-calorie treat, Tuttle said.
Apart from the lunch-hour opportunities, fitness demos of such things as poi balls (twirling balls on a string) and skateboarding will be taking place before the Hyatt lawn/WaterWalk Pavilion area becomes a concert venue in the evening.
"You may decide you want to pick up Hula Hooping while you're sitting there watching a country concert," Keefer said.
There also will be a few other opportunities to see healthy food being prepared.
The Riverfest is also encouraging bicycling to the festival again this year. The bike valet returns, this year in two locations, as do two biking tours of Douglas at 11 a.m. on the Saturdays of the festival. There also will be a world record attempt for longest moving line of bicycles.
The bike valet, sponsored by Bike Walk Wichita, is a place where you can leave your bike safe and secure while attending the fest. "It worked fantastic" in its first year, Barry Carroll of Bike Walk Wichita said. "We had one person who even bought a bike so they could ride to the festival."
The valet will be from 5 to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday of the festival, at the WaterWalk Pavilion next to the Boathouse, and at Ackerman's Backyard at A. Price Woodard Park.

Section 18 Summary
The meaning of this section's title is found in the previous section, when Catherine bullies Lily out of "zugzwang" - being stuck without apparent options. The title foreshadows action in this section, in which Catherine and Lily believe themselves to again be caught in "zugzwang," but like Lily in Section 17, discover a way out.
Catherine and Lily manipulate their way to a car rental office in the city of Oran, some miles from Algiers, where Catherine (using her authority as a representative of the government) to rent a previously reserved car. She uses that same authority to place a call to Therese, who tells her that Sharrif is after her, that Kamel's meeting (at which Catherine supposed to be presenting her proposal) has begun, and that the White Side (meaning El-Marad) has guessed who she really is. Without pausing to consider how...

Americans tend to think of Spanish furniture as heavily carved wooden pieces that would look at home in a castle or countryside hacienda. That may have been true in the past, but today Spanish furniture manufacturers are producing handsome contemporary lines using fine lacquers and other popular finishes.
Spanish furniture is being exported in greater numbers than before, so Americans will have an opportunity to get acquainted with these new designs. And, at least one Spanish firm looked to the United States for design inspiration.

Great System!!
By Will4x4
from Ashburnham, MA
Comments about VIAIRHeavy-Duty Onboard Air System:
This system works great for airing up your tires after wheeling. It fills 4 33" tires in about 10 minutes to 30psi. It is a much quicker and reliable system to use to air up tires than the little compressors that plug in your cigarette lighter. Can also be used to power many air tools including guns, grinders, or blow guns. Great system!! I highly recommend this system to anyone.
Bottom Line Yes
Fast powerful air
By Kartracer
from north carolina
I purchased this air system to air up the tires on my truck after i deflate them to drive on the beach. I like that i don't have to drive around looking for a station to air up the tires when i leave the sand. The system is actually faster than the gas station machines and it goes where i go!
Performace is aceptable but low quality
By McGuiver
from Stockton, Ca.
The pump is strong but lacks proper mounting for quiet operation. The supplied pressure guage is sub-standard and leaks, but is not really required. Additional air line connections in the package or made available would be outstanding

Fitness guru Jack LaLanne dies at 96
Pioneering fitness guru Jack LaLanne passed away Sunday at 96. Read on to find out how his healthy-living philosophy will live on for future generations.
Fitness guru Jack LaLanne passed away Sunday from pneumonia complications at his California home. He was 96.
LaLanne inspired generations of men and women to get off their couches and get healthy -- and he promoted physical fitness before it was the popular thing to do.
"I like to consider myself as your personal physical instructor and your health consultant coming into your home every day," LaLanne told his audience -- mostly women -- during his weekly tv fitness program.
He became popular with housewives who wanted company during their husbands' workdays -- and he provided the safe comfort.
"Make me a promise," LaLanne said during one episode. "C'mon, raise your right hand. Say, 'I promise that I will be with you every day this week, Jack.' 'Cause I have so many fantastic things to show you and tell you, and they're all to you from me."
In later years, LaLanne and his wife, Elaine LaLanne, became the face of a number of healthy-living products, including the famous Jack LaLanne Power Juicer.
He even released a book last year to mark his 95th birthday -- Living Young Forever -- that detailed his positive, healthy lifestyle and secrets to a long life.
Despite his passing, LaLanne will live on through his work.
"Though we are saddened by our father's passing, the overwhelming response from fans and the media has made us all feel he is still with us," LaLanne's son, Jon LaLanne told TMZ Monday.
LaLanne is survived by wife Elaine and three children.

From Aardonyx, a lumbering beast that formed a link between two- and four-legged dinosaurs, to Zuniceratops, who boasted a deadly pair of horns, Dinosaurs – The Grand Tour details everything worth knowing about more than 300 dinosaurs. The important discoveries and gory details touch on topics from geology, anatomy, and evolution to astronomy and even Native American and Chinese myth. Fascinating facts abound:
- Giganotosaurus was longer, two tons heavier, and had bigger jaws than T. Rex.
- The poison-spitting Dilophosaurus from Jurassic Park wasn't actually venomous at all.
- Because of its bizarre single-clawed hands, scientists now believe Mononykus was a prehistoric predecessor of the anteater!
Illustrations on virtually every page, true to the latest findings, bring these prehistoric creatures to life in all their razor-sharp, long-necked, spiny, scaly glory.
"Remarkably all-encompassing and superbly illustrated [...] a fascinating tome that will appeal to children and adults."

As a small boy in the early 1980s nothing seemed more exciting to Keiron Pim than a visit to the Natural History Museum, where he would gaze up at the Diplodocus skeleton and later depart clutching some little dinosaur-related memento: an eraser shaped like Stegosaurus, a lurid poster of a Jurassic scene, or a book crammed with dino-facts. It would have blown his four-year-old mind to know that thirty years later a book on dinosaurs would be his first publication. Keiron, married with three young daughters, is a writer and journalist based in Norfolk, England.

Mariss Jansons at the Latvian National Opera
On 7th of November, the most renowned Latvian conductor Mariss Jansons and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra will perform at the Latvian National Opera to close down the classical music concert series "Born in Riga"
Latvians like to think about themselves as a very musical nation and in fact song is an integral part of their identity, but when it comes to being recognized outside Latvia for their efforts, it's mostly classical music we can be truly proud of and some of world's most well know performers come from this small country of 2 million.
World famous Latvian artists include The Boston Symphony Orchestra's Music Director Designate Andris Nelsons and his wife, soprano Kristīne Opolais, mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča and soprano Inese Galante, just to name a few.
Although this time it will be Mariss Jansons who's returning to his home town Riga, bringing with him the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. Named "greatest living conductor" by The Washington Post, Jansons works with several top 10 orchestras and because of his hectic schedule basically lives on the road.
Considering how rare of a chance this is to catch a glimpse of his work here in Riga, it's not to be missed if you're in town.

Production on Tom Cruise's latest movie sparked a panic among residents of an English village this week (ends09Sep12) when the sound of gunfire rang out across the neighborhood.
Frightened residents in the village of Abbots Langley called police on Thursday night (06Sep12) to report gun shots being fired, prompting officers from Hertfordshire Constabulary to launch an investigation.
They soon discovered the gun fire had been coming from the nearby Leavesden Studios, where Cruise has been filming his new movie All You Need is Kill with British actress Emily Blunt.
A representative for the studios then confirmed the shots were part of rehearsals for the movie.
A police spokesman tells local newspaper the Watford Observer, "At around 9pm (on Thursday), police received two reports of the sound of distant gunfire from members of the public in the Abbots Langley and north Watford areas. Officers contacted security at Leavesden Studios who confirmed that rehearsals involving the use of firearms had been taking place there during the evening."

DEARBORN, Mich. – Ford Driving Skills for Life (Ford DSFL) continues its ongoing efforts to reduce teen traffic fatalities during National Teen Driver Safety Week with the introduction of an online video game patterned after its award-winning driving exercises – a key element of the Ford DSFL program and partnership with the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA).
- As part of National Teen Driver Safety Week, Ford Driving Skills for Life is launching a comprehensive online safe driving video game developed in partnership with Michigan State University
- Other efforts include a statewide Michigan program called "Strive for a Safer Drive," safe driving clinics and school assemblies, as well as sponsorships of teen driving events around the country
The online learning game was developed by the Michigan State University (MSU) Games for Entertainment and Learning Lab. Using the latest gaming technology, the game simulates the hands-on driving exercises taught in traditional Ford DSFL hands-on driving clinics. The new game can be accessed on the Ford DSFL website at www.drivingskillsforlife.com.
"Research has found driving simulation can effectively introduce new drivers to potentially life-saving skills," says Jim Graham, manager, Ford Driving Skills for Life. "Tens of thousands of new drivers have attended our driving clinics, but this new game will provide millions of new drivers the opportunity to test and develop their skills online and on their schedule."
"Many drivers in training have been playing video games for years. Through the game, we are able to leverage the engagement and fun of gaming technology and use it to create an educational experience that is appealing to these new drivers," states Brian Winn, Director of the Games for Entertainment and Learning Lab at Michigan State University. "Given the safety of the game environment, we are able to put players in situations that simulate hands-on training, thereby avoiding making potentially deadly mistakes in the real-world."
Ford DSFL, in partnership with AAA Michigan, Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning and Henry Ford Hospital-West Bloomfield, also is launching "Strive for a Safer Drive" – a Michigan statewide effort that includes peer-to-peer safe driving campaigns, use of simulators in schools and professional hands-on driving clinics. The program will reach more than 30 high schools during the six-month period and is patterned after a similar DSFL partnership that helped reduce teen traffic fatalities by 45 percent in Illinois.
Other efforts this week include a special video with teen stars sharing safe driving tips on the Ford DSFL website, prizes through Ford DSFL Facebook and Twitter, sponsorship of the Conor Lynch Foundation Teen Safety Fair in California and the Student Leadership Services Conference in Michigan, and a distracted driver fair in Nashville, Tenn.
More than 3,000 teens ages 15-19 are killed each year on American roads, making traffic fatalities the leading cause of death of American teens, according to government statistics. As the most comprehensive driving skills program in the U.S., Ford DSFL is designed to make a difference with these preventable tragedies. Now in its ninth year, Ford DSFL is a partnership between Ford Motor Company Fund and the Governors Highway Safety Association. The program includes free professional driver instruction, a Web-based curriculum, free educational materials, state grants and statewide education partnerships.

review & swatch: sally hansen salon effects.
i can't say enough good things about sally hansen salon effects, but i'll try.
they are basically at-home minx manicure. salon effects are applique sticker manicures, available in over a dozen colors (including glitters and metallics) and various patterns. they are so easy to use, it's almost comical -- it involves little more than putting stickers on your nails. applying them for the first time took me less time than painting my nails.
bonus: since they are stickers, you don't have to wait for them to dry, which is usually when i end up ruining my nails.
my only complaint, it is a bit hard to get the stickers to lie totally flat, which may cause a problem with the solid colors but on my leopard prints (named: kitty, kitty) it's virtually unnoticeable (see below). do you like them, or do you love them?
final thoughts: sally -- email me, because i have at least 5 more pattern ideas for you. goodbye, $50 minx manis!
editor's note: in accordance with the ftc regulations, please be advised that MakeupLovesMe.com received a sample of these products for possible review.

The saddle saga: meze from heaven in Turkey
When it's -5°C outside of your sleeping bag there isn't a lot that you want to do. You'd like to burrow deeper into the warm, synthetic fabric until the sun's rays penetrate the layers and melt your frozen toes. What you don't want to do is unzip your toasty haven and put on ice-cold clothing, still damp with the sweat of yesterday's climb, and pedal up a mountain. But this is what we did during the first few days of our ride through Turkey.
Away from the warm tourist hub of Bodrum, the Turkish hinterland was mountainous, and very cold. The days were growing shorter, leaving us less time to make our 50 miles-per-day target. In contrast to the days, the distances between settlements grew longer. Several times were we caught-out at the top of mountains and were forced to camp in the freezing cold.
The headwinds on the vast plains and in the valleys were as strong as the nights were cold. They limited our speed to around 8mph, whipped away our body heat and sapped the strength from our legs while we furiously peddled against them. It was frustrating and exhausting. Come the end of the day we were tired and very hungry.
Luckily for us Turkish cuisine is not just limited to the doner kebab. The food was amazing. The ubiquitous bürek was available, but so too were gözleme (savoury pancakes), beans, grilled meats, sweet baklava, köfte, turkish pizzas or pide, Noah's Ark pudding, meze, etc. The list is endless, delicious and cheap - most important for men of humble means and huge appetites!
Our suffering en-route also had it's rewards; the scenery became as epic as the climbs and each day we were confronted with a different inspiring vista. One day we had pine-covered mountains with the clouds so close we felt we could reach out and break chunks off. The next we were cycling through desolate plains of golden brown hills stretching off into the cold blue horizon with nothing but the wind whistling past for company.
As we neared Antalya the temperatures began to rise and the roads to descend. The feeling in our toes returned and our morale was buoyed by the warmth and the thought of a couple of days rest in the city as guests of Caner and Perwer.
The two laid-back and gracious hosts let us stay in their home and provided all our meals, including spectacularly tasty breakfasts or "The full Turkish" as they became known.
They even treated us to a night out at The Rock Bar. It was a night made memorable by a young couple who attempted to ballroom dance to the raging heavy metal covers that had the rest of the jubilant crowd dancing in the more conformist head-banging fashion. We kept our English cool until the three-piece covers band began the introduction to Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' which was our queue to show the Turkish youth how we do it in the UK.
After a dazzling display of pogoing and air guitar, it was clear that the strength in our legs had returned, even if the will to depart had not. So we departed for the frozen north and the magnificent rock formations of Cappadoccia.

Dickey Center Research Programs
Learn about the five strategic areas of global concern for which we develop initiatives that provide in-depth knowledge.
The Dickey Center offers a fellowship program for students interested in field-based and analytical careers related to human development.
Dartmouth has a cadre of faculty, researchers, and students—not to mention our alumni—actively working in human development. But students need to develop the technical skills and gain professional experiences in order to work in development internationally. The Human Development Fellowship program helps a select group of Dartmouth's top students to build these analytical competencies and train for impactful work in development.
Majors in any field may apply, but applicants must have a GPA above 3.5. Fellows must demonstrate a sustained engagement with development issues and an exceptional academic and co-curricular record at Dartmouth. Applications are judged on a variety of factors including: demonstrated interest in human development, grades in relevant courses, interest in applied research, and the relationship of the Fellowship to the student's academic and career goals.
HD Fellowships begin in the Fall term. Students may not participate in other funded research programs (e.g. Presidential Scholar, Junior Research Scholars, Neukom Scholars) in the same terms that they are engaging in research for HDF. Non-funded research opportunities such as Mellon Mays can be combined with a Human Development Fellowship.
On-campus, paid research assistantships with faculty require a commitment of 7-12 hours per week at standard campus rates. Off-campus funded internships require a full-time commitment. Recipients are expected to take a leadership role in Human Development Fellowship programming, including participation in lectures and workshops.
The online application deadline for Human Development Fellowships is July 13, 2018.
Human Development Fellows are eligible to apply for funded research assistantships with Faculty Mentors at the College. Fellows are expected to approach Faculty Mentors based on their specific interest in their ongoing research. Fellows must complete the online application for Research Assistantships in the term prior to commencing work with their Faculty Mentor.
Human Development Fellows are eligible to apply for funded internships in the field of human development. Fellows must complete the online application for Internships.

Lesson from a Printed Newspaper
Paper Shapes the Digital Generation
The Backstory
What sparked my interest to write this story is not about the object itself but how the object is representing the transformation of a generation.
Print vs. Digital. It's the spirit of the old Mac vs. PC ad campaign… my print colleagues and my digital colleagues like to have a healthy and humorous banter about which one is better. I like to be on the digital side just to poke for poking sake (but I'm a secret print fan… sssshhhh!!). Either way… everybody has their own preferences that are shaped by their environment and experiences. When it comes to digital versus print, generations younger than us are and will continue to be shaped by how they access and absorb information, and I believe, they will choose both.
Classic Example
When my daughter was two years old in 2012, I felt compelled to teach her the basics of navigating and using an Android tablet… I mean she has to stay competitive with her peers, even though she loves printed books and magazines.
Well, the consequence of that approach manifested itself in a way that really struck me. One day, she came across a paper Highlights magazine laying on the floor and suddenly became intrigued by the cover image. She took her index finger and proceeded to swipe the magazine cover like you would an Android tablet. Nothing happened. She swiped again and again. Nothing happened. She then looked at me and said, "Broken." The paper magazine was broken.
I have told this story countless times to illustrate all kinds of points, because it was when I truly realized that the next generation's interaction expectations and ways information is consumed will be different than almost any generation before. I am not only getting my daughter ready for it… she is going to lead it.
The Object
I was stuck on this story for more than six months, because I actually didn't have a newspaper to photograph for this story. I've never subscribed to one. Never paid for one. Probably never will.
It's always been something my parents got when I was little. Then, fortunately, my in-laws left one at my house after a visit.
It had been a long time since I touched and messed with an actual newspaper. It felt dirty, greasy, and out-of-date. It felt boring… the never-ending columns of text, dull photos, and ads few people will actually see and no one will take any action on. It was sad really. An under-appreciated, dying art form.
The Reality
The reality is about saving or making money. Moving from print to digital is not about making things easier for the reader. CIO and Information Week magazines were two examples of publications that are now 100 percent digital, i.e. on the Internet. My reality is… I used to read both of their print magazines, because they came to me and sat on my desk, until I had a chance to read the articles.
NOW, I don't read them anymore because their content is mixed in with every other online news feed, and their websites are cluttered with annoying ads to the point that it's hard to read anything. So they are lost… instead of on my desk right in front of me ready to be read without distraction. Are the publications getting more ad revenue? Probably. Are the getting more readers? Hard to say, but they did lose me.
Even though the digital revolution will continue to advance and evolve, there is still a market and purpose to print materials and to consume content via hard copy. There is just something that feels permanent, quiet, and credible about print publications that digital just can't deliver.
The Lesson
Evolution in how we communicate and share knowledge is constantly changing, and we are living in an awesome time where the mass adoption of a new medium is happening at an unprecedented pace. The speed is disruptive and transformational, but my daughters do not know any different. They seem to naturally balance and filter their reading print and interacting with digital. Survival instinct in a way, I suppose.
The Take-aways:
- Balance will be restored in every occasion, eventually.
- If you chase money, you will never catch it.
- The next generation will experience life in ways we cannot imagine.
- When there is no power and the batteries are dead, you can still read the paper.
Much like the automobile didn't put the horseshoeing trade completely out of business, the chance of digital putting print out of business is zero percent. As much as I'd like to believe digital is better for every occasion, it's not in all cases. Print will always have a place… humans need to feel the permanence or "stone" connotation that paper provides.
My daughters may one day ask me, "What's a newspaper?" I will jokingly answer, "The stuff that helps me light the campfire."

Several rants
Despite of what's expressed in this blog post, I am generally responsive (as can be seen from my RT track record) and willing to be cooperative (or rather, not really willing to be uncooperative). I even often do the opposite of what I wrote below. It's just that sometimes you need to vent.
On people suggesting to use File::Spec (or Path::Class) everytime... Have using hard-coded "/" failed these days (on platforms that I care about)? Why do I have to subject myself to the verbose
file('a', 'b', 'c') or even the masochistic
File::Spec->catfile('a', 'b', 'c'), when
'a/b/c' works? The platforms which do not use "/" path separator are either old, dying, rare, or all of those. And new platforms being written won't even dream of not obeying the /. It's already becoming the overwhelming majority that assuming it works everywhere is the best practical approach.
On the other hand, issues like case-sensitivity or encoding in filesystems are still very real and common...
On people telling me to support 5.8.x... Well, breaking news for you, even 5.10.x is ancient (no longer supported by p5p). Why do I have to sacrifice by refraining from using
// and having to write
$foo = defined($foo) ? $foo : 'default'? Why do I have to avoid using named captures in my long- and often-tweaked regexes, and thus have to deal with $1..$24 and track the number of parentheses, which is very error-prone? I want my
say and
state and
~~, dammit!
When all my servers and clients have upgraded to Wheezy and beyond, I'll expect to repeat this cycle and ditch 5.10 for 5.12, 5.14, ... Sorry, I
don't can't afford to care for people that are too behind. If you want to be supported, be a client and cough up some dough >:-)
On Windows ... I
hate dislike don't care about Windows and I'm quite glad of the so-called Microsoft's lost decade. They never try to play nice with others, so why should I play nice with them?
On people suggesting to 'use utf8' ... I almost never have to put non-ASCII characters in my source code. I only name my identifiers with [A-Za-z0-9_] and would like to keep it that way. I read Chinese and French for a bit, but I avoid Unicode until it's unavoidable. So, no thanks.
On those suggesting to moosify, mousify, mooify my modules... I'll decide when I need to go OO, thank you very much. That's currently only about 5-10% of the time. I regard OO as a non-necessary evil. It offers features but comes with a cost, just like everything else. I prefer to keep simple things simple.
