BATON ROUGE, LA. — Brian Jaeger of Winter Park only had two weeks to prepare for his 1,500- meter race at National Sports Festival VI. He had to break the routine of summer training to come to Mumford Stadium on the Southern University campus and compete against the likes of Jim Spivey.
Jaeger didn't mind. He loved the experience, despite finishing eighth in the race. For three laps, he was at the front, ''But my legs didn't have it in the final lap,'' said Jaeger, a freshman at Auburn.

Build Guide by w1shmast3r
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue

Kassadin 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.
This is my final Kassadin build in terms of items and runes i currently possess (later i might add a few magic pen seals instead of dodge).
My item sequence is:
- 2x health pots + blue crystal
- Catalyst
- Tear of the godess
- Mejai's soulstealer
- Tear >> Archangel's stuff
- Lich bane
now you may either:
- Zhonya's ring
- catalyst >> rod of ages
or get both, depending on your gold and if u need more survivability (ROA) or more dmg output (ZR).
That's it!
Just wanted to share with all, don't judge too hard as this is not a guide, but just my item build.
The only alternate item i use depending on the progress of the game is Banshee's Veil when i feel i get too much targeted by 2 or more enemy casters. If they stack MR (very rare i get a void stuff. I also used Nasor's Tooth a couple of times, fun item but not essensial).
The best Kassadin guide i read so far is: Kassadin Badass Rift Ninja

Last year's drought keeps breaking its own records
Agricultural losses from the historic dry spell will jump past the original $5.2 billion estimate, and crop insurance indemnity payments in Texas have set a record with $2.5 bil- lion in claims paid out through March 12, agriculture officials say.
"As time went on, yields got worse and worse," said David Anderson, a Texas AgriLife Extension Service livestock economist who helped calculate the original estimate in August, which itself set a record. "I expect livestock and crop losses to get worse."
Travis Miller, an extension service soil and crop sciences specialist who contributed to the August estimate, also believes the real impact is greater than $5.2 billion. More cotton acreage was abandoned than had been estimated last summer, and rising feed costs caused greater livestock losses, he said.
"It's hard to imagine the damage it's caused across the state," said Miller, who serves on the Governor's Drought Preparedness Council. "It's nothing anybody alive has seen before."
The USDA crop production summary for 2011 showed that only about 57 percent of the 21.3 million acres of crops planted in Texas were harvested. In 2010, a strong year for crop production, almost 87 percent of the planted acreage was harvested.
The only other states where harvests fell drastically short of plantings last year were also scorched by drought. In Oklahoma, about 68 per- cent of the planted acreage was harvested. In New Mexico, it was less than 60 percent.
Irrigation a necessity
Cotton harvests were especially weak in Texas last year, with less than 41 percent of the planted acres deemed productive. Sorghum production, meanwhile, fell from 119 million bushels in 2010 to 56.4 million bushels last year, the USDA said.
Steve Verett, executive vice president of the Plains Cotton Growers, said cotton producers who don't irrigate - about half of his membership's 4.6 million acres of production - were lucky to get any production. Even farmers with irrigation suffered losses as the drought continued.
"To get above average yields, you still need rainfall. Irrigation by itself is not enough," Verett said. "Thank goodness most row crops are covered by crop insurance."
Crop insurance vital
Officials call crop insurance a vital tool that helps farmers buffer losses from droughts, floods and other natural disasters. A government subsidy helps keep premiums low, but farmers choose the amount of coverage they want.
Mark Lamon, who grows wheat, cotton, corn and sunflowers in Medina County, said coverage never makes up for what a decent crop would produce, but it's enough to keep farmers going.
"It does provide an effective safety net," he said.
Nationally, agricultural insurance companies made almost $10.3 billion in crop insurance indemnity payments as of March 12, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency reports.
That's a record, passing the old record of nearly $8.7 billion in 2008, and could rise slightly before all claims are reviewed, said a spokesperson for National Crop Insurance Services, a trade group.
Texas' $2.5 billion in indemnity payments from 2011 is the top in the country, beating the second-highest, North Dakota, by almost $1 billion.
It's also Texas' highest total since 1989, when record-keeping began.

Modena, 10-11 May 2014
The second edition of the Motor Gallery exhibition was held at
Modena's Fiere exhibition centre, close to the Modena Nord
autostrada junction, over the weekend of 10-11 May. The show
occupied 41000 square metres of indoor and outdoor space, filling
three pavilions with an eclectic array of Italian machinery, ranging
from bicycles to supercars. Some of the rarer classic vehicles on
display came from the well known local collections of Umberto
Panini, Mario Righini and Francesco Stanguellini, with others
coming from further afield and individual owners.
There was a vast array of bicycles, as they take up so little
display space compared to cars, and they included numerous
veteran and vintage examples, including one made for Napoleon III
and a 1933 Bianchi built for Benito Mussolini. There were also a
large number of motorcycles, notably those built by Maserati in
the company's centenary year, but also other famous Italian
makes like Ducati, Laverda, Moto Guzzi and MV Agusta, not
forgetting the classic scooters from Lambretta and Vespa.
One of the main display features was "La Spider, Un Sogno a
Cielo Aperto" (The Spider, A Dream of the Open Sky), with a wide
variety of Italian Spiders, cabriolets and convertibles filling a large
central display area, including a number of very rare examples
rarely seen in public. They ranged in size from a 1970 Fiat 500
Gamine by Vignale and an Autobianchi Bianchina from 1963,
through to a Ferrari 365 GTS4 and a Maserati Ghibli Spider,
others along the way included a Cisitalia 202 Cabriolet, a Lancia
B24 Spider, a 1966 De Tomaso Mangusta Immatricolata
prototype and a Siata Amica Convertible from 1950.
The show also bore witness to the announcement of the new
Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum, with a stand featuring a trio of
models comprising of a 400 GT, an Espada and a Countach. The
new family (as opposed to factory) museum, is the brainchild of
company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini's son Tonino, and is
located in Funo di Argelato to the north of Bologna, with visits
available by appointment. More details can be found at
www.museolamborghini.com . For fans of modern supercars
Pagani had a display featuring a Zonda and a Hauyara, whilst the
combined Museo Ferrari and Museo Enzo Ferrari, in Maranello
and Modena respectively, displayed a trio of the company's "Tour"
cars, the 612 India Tour, the 612 China Tour and the 599 GTB
America Tour, in their colourful liveries.
There were also numerous car club and vendor stands with a wide
selection of cars and motorcycles on display, together with a
variety of trade stands specialising in restoration and products
associated therewith, and a number featured partially restored
vehicles to illustrate their expertise in their specialist field. One
hall was dedicated to a large sales area, where one could find
almost anything connected with the automobile and motorcycle,
ranging from spare parts, through books, brochures, models,
tools and a variety of accessories for the classic car and driver,
whilst there was also a large outdoor sales area with an
autojumble and a number of private car sales. If one tired of
looking at cars and motorcycles, there was a flight simulator in
the corner of the main hall, where the Museo dell'Aeronautica
Gianni Caproni di Trento, had a full scale replica of an Ansaldo
biplane in simulator form, where visitors could try their hand at
flying it via the simulator screen in front of them. Once again a
very interesting and enjoyable "Made in Italy" show, and certainly
worth noting as worthy of a visit for next year.

Old work revisted
Two years ago I started a work in oil for The Virtual Paintout challenge and didn't finish it because I just couldn't get the colours right. I then tried to do it in gouache and watercolour and it still didn't work out but I found this half-done work a few weeks ago and was determined to 'fix' it. I didn't!! However, I then became determined to 'finish' it to some level of competence. I couldn't match the glowing oranges and rusts of the original photograph as those colours just didn't exist in my collection of gouache tubes and the detail was too fine in the original photograph to transpose to this small format, especially in that long line of small houses on the left. I also should have used a finer grain of watercolour paper to make detail work easier. The only thing I am really happy with is the tree, and even that needs some fine-tuning but I can't do any more without muddying the whole work. I now have lots of work on the go for a year-end project which might be a bit too ambitious for me taking into account the little spare time I have for painting on the weekends. We carry on.

The Virtual Paintout - September 2012
Yet again I have indulged my love for painting shop windows with muted objects behind the vast sheets of glass and their weird reflections. I make no excuse for this but I do add to the technical difficulty with this obsessive response to the Virtual Paintout every time I do it, but I suppose it wouldn't be a challenge for me otherwise. I had hoped to do two, but just ran out of time. Below my work is a screen capture of the Google Streetview I used as my reference. I cropped the top left hand corner of the shopfront and used that for the composition.

Gesture Drawing - Best of the Bad
I am determined to start drawing again, drawing each day and drawing skillfully. I recently found a website that puts up photographs of life models in various poses for artists to use and practice their drawings. Great idea and a fantastic service but heck, did it test me tonight. I drew better at school, truly. This close up of one of the drawings was the best of a bad bunch. Also, the photography isn't that hot.

City Squared 1.
I am hoping to paint some cityscapes shortly but I want to do quite a few sketches of favourite scenes before I start painting. I am finding that sketching the scene before I paint is a very good exercise for me even though it drives me mad as I am so impatient. All I wanted to do here was investigate the values, perspective and composition, and also to see whether the charcoal I have can 'handle' small works. Well it can't really and I couldn't get in the finer details so I stopped trying. I am going to buy a professional brand in a few weeks' time, the kind one sharpens with sandpaper. That should be fun. I had hoped to put in more of the details of the cathedral but that just proved impossible.

I'm back & who cares etc.?
My last post was a lament for my lost or stolen camera. I never saw it again and I now have another which I claimed on insurance. It wasn't a good deal, and I won't go into that as it makes me so angry to think what happens to the consumer here in the UK with insurance and financial services' rip-offs, but the camera is the same brand as my old one and has a few extra features plus a wider zoom. What surprised me was how lost I was without one and I seriously didn't even feel like doing much art because of this which is a weird syndrome I shall have to work on at a later stage. Why couldn't I just paint and get on with it? My work doesn't need to be photographed - who the heck is waiting for it? What am I doing here not feeling my work can progress without being documented? Anyway, I feel as though my tools of trade are now complete and I look across at the disturbingly bad work in progress in the corner, a watercolour of a church altar, and I also lament the lack of practice I have been getting in lately. No-one's fault but my own. Some work will appear in the next few weeks; it will, it will, it will, it will.....will it?

Sometime in the last three weeks I lost my trusty digital camera, or horror of all horrors, it was stolen. I think it must have fallen out of my backpack on the train or something like that but nobody has handed it in. I am lost, totally lost without it and I can't photograph any work to post here. It's frightening to realise how dependent an artist is on her tools, and all I have left is an old SLR and a baby digital, which works, but can't meet the challenge of photographing art. I don't know if my insurance covers this sort of thing and I am loathe to fork out hundreds of pounds for another. Woe is me. Really down about this.

The Virtual Paintout - May 2012 Challenge
I had no intentions of participating in any challenges this year as I am working on bigger and 'slower' works which are more personal to me but I still check into the
Virtual Paintout
blog, and when I saw this month's city was Jerusalem, I felt a bit left out. I've been to Israel and walked down the Via Dolorosa and believe me it is very, very strange. The Google Street Maps seem to have visited on a sunny, busy day in this chaotic and mysterious part of the Old City of Jerusalem, so different from the day I visited when it was darker, in fact spooky, and far fewer shops were open.

#TwitterArtExhibit - Images from the show
In a
recent post
, I wrote about the second Twitter Art Exhibition that was put on by top Norwegian artist, David Sandum to raise funds for a women's crisis centre. I just thought I would share some photographs from the exhibition held in the library at Moss, Norway. It is currently still running and apparently paintings are still being sold. This was a superb effort put on by David Sandum and I was delighted to have taken part. Apparently my painting has sold which is good news. Above the photograph of the display stand there is a link to the whole photo album on David's 'Posterous' page which beautifully shows what a well-attended and exciting event it was. So strange to think of my little work hanging up in a library in Norway without my seeing it on show! My painting is in the middle of the right hand side display in the photograph below.

Tall Trees
I have been wanting to paint some tall, spindly trees for ages and hadn't realised there were two such gorgeous examples in the beautiful park next door to my home. Sometimes it takes years to take in one's environment! I photographed these recently and decided to paint them today. The work is basically a bit busy and I must learn to edit and work from large areas first and then develop the details at the end of the process. I also had difficulty with the yellows as they were just so transparent and weren't able to pick up the luminous leaves dancing and sparkling in the dark shadows so I mixed in a bit of white. It's probably worth saying that the sky did have that dramatic transition from dark to light - the values of the blues in the painting are not fabricated. However, I'm fairly satisfied with this one and quite surprised with it really as it was the first time I've worked on this ultra-elongated format.

Peony - Sketch
This started out as a sketch for a bigger work but ended up being a bit more detailed than planned. I just couldn't help it for some reason. The colour of the peony was such a violent pink and very difficult to paint and photograph, but it was luscious and I just couldn't stop. I learned a quite a bit in this tiny work, one being that the surface of the watercolour paper I was using was a bit too rough, but overall, it's not a real issue. Learning a bit each day, these days.

February Flowers - Quick Sketch
Today, after enduring about five months of low dark skies and no natural light, I was determined to make good use of the sudden appearance of sunshine in my part of the world, to the extent that I turned my back on domestic chores and pulled out the art materials and quickly got painting and sketching. I haven't painted for weeks now and this is due in part to not having any decent light and being very busy at work. No excuse, but a very solid, irritating reason. I didn't even want to think about anything; I just wanted to splash some colour around so I chose a painting of Fantin Latour's as inspiration and went from there. I am partly shocked, (but not surprised), if that makes sense, how difficult it was for me to get the effects I wanted. I really have to work a plan to give myself more time in front of the easel.

Blank Canvas and a "Clue"
After a long think this past weekend about what I have been doing art-wise since I started this blog, I decided that some of the work should be deleted as it was just not up to scratch. Part of my 'agenda' with the blog was to document my progress as it went along, but now I have realised that to a certain extent some of the paintings were done just to keep my hand around a paint brush and I refer specifically, in this instance, to a lot of the art blog challenges I have participated in over three years. These have been good for me in their own way, but as most of the subjects painted haven't been close to my own vision for my work, they have passed their sell-by date and quite frankly, have gone 'dead' on me. The juice has gone from all of them except for the
'History of Art Challenge Blog'
, which hosts challenges that, if I submit good work, will actually serve as an enabler for my next project. If I am going to be serious about pushing my art to a higher level, (and I am) most of the work on this blog should really be categorised as 'warm ups' and to have said 'exercises' out there in the blogosphere, doesn't seem strategic or grown-up. I am all for full disclosure when it is practical and I even considered deleting the blog, but felt that might be a step too far and too soon until I had another blog going.
So, I am keeping this blog open to everyone until Sunday evening, 29 January 2012, and after that it will be open only to those who wish to keep up with what I am doing on a regular basis and I know there are at least three friends out there who want that. Once I have sorted things out, which should be by the end of February, I shall open it to everyone again. Friends, if you wish to continue viewing this blog until I get cracking on my new series, please send me your email address via a comment (which I obviously won't publish) and I will add it to my contacts list. I am not too sure how this will work, but I think if I submit your email address, you can get in automatically. I hope this new step I am taking doesn't sound too aloof or pompous as I truly appreciate everyone who arrives on my blog whether they comment or not.
I intend to work on a
for a while on a subject that for me is truly the most painterly, most beautiful and yet, most difficult of them all. More later, but I leave a clue in the lower photograph. 2012 is going to be a year of depth for me even though I shall still be without a studio, but who knows what will happen? My purpose is to generate my own unique work for a change. I also intend to do more still lifes, slowly executed this time, to keep my technical skills honed. More later!

I'm really excited about is the Christmas Holiday Season. I was very proud of myself for being able to let go of the need to micro manage every detail of getting the house ready and decorated. Most years I have to go to two or three places checking prices and searching lots for the "perfect" tree. What a waste of energy that is for me! Since I have to hold on to as many spoons as possible, I'm learning – still – to let go when I can. I asked Doug & my Dad to just buy the tallest tree they could find in our budget of $40 – $50 and look at this beauty they found! I could get used to this letting go thing!
So here's our tree before – stay tuned and check back in for the after. We'll see how many days it takes me to get it put together.
I'm thrilled my parents are still here and Doug & Dad can get the lights on so that I don't have to do that part. Getting through the holidays with a chronic illness is about finding the things that others can help with especially the tasks that are more physical in nature like hanging lights and bringing up the boxes of decorations. Here are a few tips that may make it easier on everyone.
1. Ask your family or friends to help with these things – state it in a matter of fact manner that you need them to do x, y, and z. You don't have to follow it with the why – they should know why and it shouldn't matter really – everyone helps especially when asked and presented that you are saving spoons for shopping and cooking and decorating and all the things that add to the celebrations of the entire family.
2. Decide on a schedule to get the house decorated and give everyone extra time. Don't expect that just because you need help with these physical tasks that your schedule should be their schedule. Let people know in advance that you'd like the task done by tomorrow noon. Give them time to work it into their schedule but give a definite deadline so that expectations are set. We have a difficult road with chronic illness but it doesn't give us the freedom to demand instant action at all times. Choose wisely when you need immediate help and give clear directions as to what you need when for the less time sensitive needs.
3. Give yourself extra time. Don't expect that you can get the tree decorated in one afternoon. If the tree sits up without all the decorations on it for a few days it is not the end of the world. In fact you will probably be the only one who notices. I've learned to start in late November or early December so that I can move on to the other holiday tasks and fun without the pressure of still needing to get the house ready.
4. Don't Push! When you push yourself to get something done in a set time frame you are adding stress to yourself and others. Let go! Let someone else decorate the tree. I promise you it will still be beautiful even if the glass icicles aren't spaced, "just so". When we let go, we feel better and so do those around us.
5. If decorating the house is too much this year. So be it. Buy a poinsettia and call it good. There is always next year and there are no decorating police who will be fining you for not getting in the holiday spirit. For the record – there was one year we never put an ornament on the tree. It was beautiful with just the lights. Cutting back on how much you do is also a good option.
6. Thin out your decorations! Over time the decorations can take on a life of their own. Perhaps this year is a good time to give some decorations to your children for their families or a relative who just bought a new home. Goodwill loves receiving holiday items at the beginning of the holidays and the items will go to people who are thrilled to have them. Keep the pieces with the most memories or sentiment but clear out what you don't need. Less is easier and simplicity is freeing!
7. Let Go! There is nothing about a life where you live with chronic pain or illness that is easy so the sooner you grasp that you need to do less than you'd like the sooner you can let go and enjoy.
Living in joy is most often accompanied with living in simplicity. Stuff and to do's are stressful – the less you have of these the more you can enjoy and experience what truly makes life happy and that is sharing and loving and giving.
Until next time!

Mike ... I will ask my friend in Scotland if he can locate any information about Margaret and the Sinclair connection.Since you think she was born in 1833, it is possible that she wouldn't be on the 1851 census, ie married before that date.Since you somehow connected her to Edward Shirkey and Margaret Barr, it is possible that Margaret was their daughter.It may be that her marriage certificate can be located.Then, ship records may help trace her steps after that.
I'll see what I can do to help.

In cases of serious abuse or neglect it may not be possible for children to return to their parents. In these situations the Department for Child Protection will apply to the Youth Court for an order to place a child in care.
The Children's Protection Act 1993 sets out the types of orders the Youth Court can make for children and young people.
The department must have sufficient evidence to satisfy the Youth Court that this is in the best interests of the child.
Although the department may remove a child from their parent or guardians in dangerous situations, it is the Youth Court judge who makes the final decision for the removal to be longer term.
Investigation and assessment (IA) orders
Investigation and assessment orders are most often used when parents are unwilling to work cooperatively or when the concerns raised are so serious that only a court order can ensure their child's safety during an investigation.
The department will seek an IA order to:
- investigate the allegations of abuse or neglect
- review the family's circumstances
- ensure the child is safe.
If after the investigation and assessment period the child still cannot return home, the department may then apply for a care and protection order.
Care and protection orders
In situations where the department believes reunification cannot be achieved within a 12 month period, they may apply for a care and protection order to 18.
Orders include:
- 12 month custody or guardianship orders
- supervision orders
- guardianship until 18 years
In certain circumstances, another person can become the child's guardian instead of the minister.
Your rights as birth parents
Parents usually have the right to be informed about where their child is placed and how they are being cared for.
The only time this won't happen is if it is not in the best interests of the child to do so. If this is the case, parents will be told and able to discuss the decision with the child's social worker.
Although parents may no longer be the primary decision-makers for their child, they are encouraged to work in partnership with the department and the child's carers to maintain a relationship with the child.

So Mark Zuckerberg has admitted to having "burned two years" betting on the wrong technology – the mobile web. The Facebook CEO, speaking at TechCrunch Disrupt said betting on an HTML 5 powered mobile web was his company's "biggest mistake".
What the Facebook should have done, according to Zuckerberg, was develop native apps – apps that build on smartphone platforms – iOS and Android. But the company, which has lost $63bn of market capitalisation since its initial IPO market cap of $104bn ($104bn – $41bn = $63bn) , said it's back on track now – with a (finally) half-decent iOS app, a new Android app soon to be launched.
And with the launch of Apple's iPhone 5 today – we see Facebook is baked into the new iOS 6 powering the smartphone
- Single sign on for Facebook
- Facebook as an option when sharing links and photos
- Facebook friends' contact information and profile pictures in Contacts
- Facebook notifications in Notification Center
Zuckerberg emphasised that the future of Facebook is mobile "We are a mobile company now" he asserted. Interesting. Apart from mobile advertising, Facebook appears to see its future in human search. It would make back-to-basics sense for an app that started out as a 'trombinoscope' directory service.
If the value of the social web is all about smart social learning – learning from other people's experience, rather than your own – what can social commerce learn from Zuckerberg's $63bn mistake? Well. Google's Eric Schmitt might have been right when he said "put your best people on mobile", but it's where on mobile you put them that matters – apps not the mobile web.
Time to re-read the Wired Classic – The Web is Dead (the Future is Apps)?

Costa Coffee has revealed that it increased its Facebook fans from 240,000 to 500,000 in Q1 after implementing a new content strategy and creating a 'Fan Favourites' app.
In the same period average daily page views have increased from 1,500 to 10,000 and the average reach of status updates went from 50,000 users to 200,000.
The campaign to increase engagement on Costa's Facebook page was implemented by PR agency Paratus Communications.
Paratus head of digital Adam Vincenzini said that the page had previously been updated about six times per month on average, but this was increased to three posts each day with a focus on emotional, visual content.
"We try to create sharable content that will make people laugh. Coffee drinkers tend to be very passionate about it so we try to create stuff that appeals to that community."
Paratus also created the Fan Favourites app to celebrate the fact that Costa was voted the nation's favourite coffee shop by Allegra Strategies.
Throughout March the app asked users what else they considered to be their favourite things, ranging from their favourite colour to their favourite smell.
More than 40,000 people used the app and the Fan Favourite tab was accessed 68,000 times. Activity around the app was also promoted using Facebook's Sponsored Stories ads.
But while the app was important for boosting 'likes' in the short term, the content strategy is more important for maintaining long-term engagement.
Vincenzini said that his team creates a weekly content plan and then monitors each post to respond to user comments.
"There isn't time to respond to each individual comment, so instead we monitor all the comments and create a response that captures the overall mood."
He said that the switch to Facebook Timeline has been a positive move as it places greater emphasis on visual content and makes it easier for users to engage with older posts.
The success Costa and Paratus have had with the Facebook page shows how important a content strategy is to increasing engagement with a brand's online community.
Posting numerous updates each day and monitoring feedback is a fairly labour intensive process so not all companies will have the resources available, but those who do have the necessary budget are missing a trick if they fail to use social media to build and engage with an online community.

Hi David,
Thanks for this. It's interesting to see big brands using specialist agencies to help them get to grips with social interaction.
Do you have any info on the 'real' impact of this? By that I mean the commercial impact of having more likes and app activity, in relation to in-store promotions and sales. For example, are they using FB to promote local/national deals and drive footfall?
It would be great to learn more if there is any info available.
@Nick: Great discovery
@CostaCoffee: #fail.
BTW, Great execution from Paratus but I suppose they are partly to blame for ignoring twitter
I was truly impressed by this until I dug a little deeper.
Cairo the most popular city for the UK page - really? https://www.facebook.com/CostaCoffee/likes
Matt - for your brackground, the Costa page was originally a fan page created by fans out of Egypt - so the first 100,000+ fans were from there. Costa then took over the page so historically inherited that heavily weighted audience. If you look at the acquisitions from Jan 2012 onwards, you'll find the likes predominantly come from the UK.
Nick / Panos - Costa has since launched on Twitter and looks like it is doing pretty well.
Disclosure: I worked at Paratus until July 2012.

Madrid: Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho enjoyed a huge amount of power while at Real Madrid, former Spain international Fernando Hierro has claimed.
The Portuguese coach endured a turbulent relationship with his squad in his final season in the Spanish capital, culminating in a high-profile falling-out with club captain Iker Casillas, and former defender Hierro suggests the 50-year-old`s sway at Santiago Bernabeu may have contributed to such disputes.
"Every club is different and Madrid is even more so," the 45-year-old told Fifa.com.
"Madrid is a club where you have to win and it's a place that can wear you down – where people have a different way of thinking.
"If you were to ask me to look at the last 20 years in Madrid's history and say which coach has had the most decision-making power at the club, I'd say there's no doubt he [Mourinho] is the one.
"If you ask him though, perhaps he'd say he didn't have as much authority as he'd have liked. But everyone knows him perfectly."

Grocery chain sued for alleged misleading ice cream ads
An Arizona man claims customers who buy ice cream from a nationally-known grocery chain are getting ripped off.
Gerald Morris, 71, of Tucson, recently filed a lawsuit in small claims court against Fry's Food Stores and its parent company, Kroger.
The lawsuit claims that the food chain has been misleading customers by posting deceptive ice cream ads according to KPHO.
"Every person that's bought ice cream in the last year, that I know of, has been cheated out of 40 percent of their purchase," said Morris.
Morris says he has saved more than a dozen newspaper circulars that advertise 48-ounce containers of ice cream. He says that's not what customers get in the store.
"It contains 38, 37, 29, or 26 ounces, depending on what flavor you get," Morris said.
A representative of the store chain said Morris' is the only complaint they've ever received about ice cream ads. The rep claims Morris doesn't understand the difference between a fluid ounce and a dry ounce.
"We are, and have been in compliance with the law, in terms of advertising, labels and weights and measures," said Fry's Food Stores Vice President Kyle McKay.
Morris said that he is looking forward to his day in court. He says it comes down to making sure the customers get what they pay for. His action is a small claim, so there are no attorneys and he's limited to asking for $2,500 for court costs and reimbursement for his ice cream purchases.
"You buy 100 percent, pay for 100 percent and you get 60 percent," said Morris. "That's ridiculous."

"I don't know the circumstances as far as if he was lured outside or if we made entry, I know that at some point there were shots fired, officers immediately tried to evacuate the hostage, at which point the suspect fired at the officers," said Buena Park Police Cpl. Andy Luong.
More tense moments took place once the standoff ended. Authorities found suspicious pipe bombs inside the bank, but further investigation revealed they were not dangerous.
Witness Cindy Chun was ordered to stay inside a nearby salon and said the scene was terrifying.
"I was scared, never in my life," Chun said. "This is a big happening."
The incident began when a robbery was reported at the Saehan Bank in the area of Beach Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue at 11:06 a.m.
According to Buena Park police, about five minutes after the suspect entered the bank, an employee asked the suspect if all the employees could leave the bank. The gunman complied, allowing everyone to leave except the bank manager. Police say there were seven employees in the bank at the time including the manager, and six were released.
During the standoff, the suspect dropped a note through the crack of the bank door. Police did not say what the demands were, but were investigating the incident as an attempted bank robbery.
Police said the suspect was shot after the SWAT team entered the bank at about 3 p.m. He was pulled out on a stretcher to the parking lot and taken to UCI Medical Center. His condition remained unknown Thursday night. He was not identified.
Three SWAT team members suffered minor injuries and were expected to be OK. The bank manager was not injured.
"We negotiated with the suspect for a number of hours. He made some demands. He ended up coming outside the door of the bank with a hostage at gunpoint," said Buena Park Police Chief Corey Sianez. "At that time an officer-involved-shooting occurred."
Police did not say if the suspect shot at officers first, or how many times he was hit.
"It's quite an intense moment when somebody comes out the door with a gun to a hostage. Those are split-second decisions that they need to make. And our main concern is the welfare and the safety of that hostage," said Sianez.
Police said even after the suspect was shot, he was not cooperating with officers who were trying to take him into custody.
"They did an outstanding job. I'm very proud of the men and women that are on our SWAT team and on the police department," Sianez said.
After the suspect was taken away, a bomb squad entered the bank to investigate several suspicious devices. It was not clear if the suspect had left them.
The Orange County District Attorney's Office is investigating the shooting, which is standard protocol.

Excellent comments, Mike from Bisbee. There is indeed a double standard in this country when it comes to public school curricula. Most of it is done to perpetuate the culture of those in power. The Anglo majority has to get over the fact that the world is changing (and changing rapidly) and minorities will no longer be silenced by a law or a set of laws. Today's minority may very well be tomorrow's majority. Changes are inevitable. Those who don't adapt to this new reality will be left behind.
Wait until the economic situation in the US deteriorates even further and you will soon realize that the poor (and the minorities) are indeed exploited. Arizona state is trying to put a lid on the reality of the division of social classes, which is as real as the air we breathe. Lies will be exposed and truth will prevail. My respects to the 11 teachers who are fighting against tyranny and for what they believe in.

Finding the most effective mattress is a substantial obstacle. It is certainly not a thinking game. You cannot hypothesize or trust your digestive tract reactions when it concerns the most effective mattress for you. You have to think about not simply what you desire however likewise what your body needs.
To find what you desire, your search ought to start by checking out all feasible choices.
Let's take a look at all the different choices and assess them based upon these vital aspects.
Innerspring mattresses
Innerspring mattresses are one of the most typical choices because these generally provide the sort of firm mattress surface that recuperates and reacts vigorously to your body's activities. These are likewise understood to be long lasting because the springs help avoid body perceptions and drooping.
On cost, innerspring mattresses are one of the most beneficial considering that they are less expensive than all 3 various other choices.
Already, customers and professionals indicate the Sealy Posturepedic and the Serta Perfect Sleeper as the most effective deals in the innerspring department.
Memory foam mattresses
Amerisleep mattresses like the Independence Bed are best for those that desire an even more orthopedically sound support system. There are several firm beds, yet there are also firm beds that are simultaneously soft enough to comply with every contour in the body to offer nestling orthopedic support.
This is the major benefit of memory foam. These are made from viscoelastic memory foam, which is made to right after the body's shapes. Memory foam beds are typically sturdy, particularly when they have a polyurethane base.
The only issue is that memory foam mattresses are quite costly. Presently, pioneering brand Tempur-Pedic is still the leading producer.
Latex foam mattresses
Many individuals appear to believe that latex foam mattresses make the most effective mattresses Latex foam, like memory foam, can satisfy the body's contours, and like an innerspring, it has an added responsiveness to it. This is a significant benefit, which is why latex foam is the preferred choice nowadays, although that this is one of the most costly choice among all 4.
The majority of the leading brand names are generating latex foam mattresses to meet the expanding need for these mattresses. They have not developed much prominence yet like what Sealy and Serta did for the innersprings. In the meantime, nonetheless, the latex world is ruled by Serta's Pure Response line and Sealy's Embody line.
Inflatable bed.
The last choice is the inflatable bed. This is typically not consisted of in the listing for some individuals. One great way of placing it is that, blow-up mattress typically aren't for everybody. They do target one market specific niche. Inflatable bed are presently the leading selection for couples that have different firmness inclinations. Blow-up mattress can be conveniently gotten used to make them softer and harder, so also bed companions can obtain the firmness they desire.

If you've ever sent or received a sext then you know that the worst thing that could possibly happen is for it to fall into the wrong hands (or eyes). So with almost any sext there's already an assumed level of trust between the sender and receiver, right?
Welp, a recent study published in the Sexual Health journal has found some kinda terrifying stats that challenge the idea that people actually obey the unspoken 'for your eyes only' rule.
Conducted by the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University, the study of 5805 single adults found that nearly a quarter (23%) of participants admitted to sharing their sexts with MORE THAN THREE PEOPLE, on average. Yep, you read that right.
And that's only the douchey peeps who admitted to sharing sexts in the first place. Uggghhh.
Now, before you go and have a massive freak out, the same study found that three quarters of participants (73% - so probs everyone else), reported 'discomfort' with sharing pics with people other than the intended recipient. What remains unknown is if there's any crossover between the people who know sharing sexts was wrong, but admitted to doing it anyway.
"It raises the question that if someone sends something to you with the presumption that it's private and then you share it with others... what do we want to consider that type of violation?"says Justin Garcia, who led the study.
"Is it just bad taste? Is it criminal?" he asks. FYI, if you're ever asking yourself this question, you already know the answer: don't do it.
"The real risk is not the sending of sexual messages and images per se, but rather the nonconsensual distribution of those materials to other parties," Garcia concludes.
"As sexting becomes more common and normative, we're seeing a contemporary struggle as men and women attempt to reconcile digital eroticism with real-world consequences."
So if you're still keen to send sexts, power to you girl, but just be careful who you're sending your snaps to. And, given the nasty legal, social and not to mention psychological fall out that can come from sharing nekkid pics without permission, just hold off on the 'sharing is caring' thing, kay?

What are the new things in Dastun Go Plus?
By: Radha on 8 march 2015
7 Answers:
The car is competitive one in most of the spheres. It can compete completely with Eon and Alto which are though budget wise superior than this. The headroom is far better and more comfortable in this car than its counterparts. The spaciousness is another attribute of this car. It has got slimmer rear windscreen with fresh design this time. It has seen improvement in second seats but still there is congestion for thigh support. The car is fuel efficient for sure. Also it is an economical option to go for. But one important shortcoming is that it lacks safety features which cannot be neglected. This is the area need to be worked upon.

This newly introduced model has a decent looking cabin that is elegantly done up with a dual tone color scheme. Despite being the sub 4-meter vehicle, it has an ample leg space, especially in the first and second row. However, the seating space in the third row is slightly congested but, it suits to children. The automaker has built this vehicle with a long wheelbase of 2450mm, which creates a decent space inside the cabin.

Franks cleared of gouging despite Cheika fury
A furious Wallabies coach Michael Cheika lashed out at Saturday's match officiating in Wellington after his side were crushed for the second consecutive week and said he was "bitterly disappointed" in French referee Romain Poite.
Cheika had hoped action would be taken after video footage showed Franks's hand move across the face of Kane Douglas in full view of Poite, who took no action.
"We saw it at the time," Cheika fumed. "I'm sure the match review will pick that up. It was pretty open, it would be pretty hard for the match review guy to miss."
But the Rugby Championship controlling body, SANZAAR, said there will be no citings from the match and All Blacks coach Steve Hansen believed the right decision was made.
"You've got to be really, really, careful until you see all the views. Social media, I think, were the people who alerted everyone to it and they certainly don't get all the views," Hansen said Sunday.
"There's a process and that process has been followed."
Cheika, who complained of a high penalty count against the Wallabies, said he had complained to world referees' boss Alain Rolland "about the treatment to our captain and our players by Romain Poite".
Apart from the Franks incident, Cheika was baffled why lock Adam Coleman was yellow-carded for a late charge on Ben Smith while All Blacks hooker Dane Coles was only penalised for a forearm blow to Scott Fardy's head.
"Maybe one person's head is more valued than another person's head," Cheika said.
"Maybe that's the way things are rolling at the moment."
Australian news media reported that the Australian Rugby Union planned to lay a complaint with World Rugby that Hansen had breached the rules by having a private meeting with Poite before the Wellington Test.
But Hansen denied there was any meeting.
"It's quite sad that that's come out because it's not true," he said.
"I certainly didn't have a meeting with Romain Poite. We don't meet the ref, we haven't for 18 to 24 months because it's just a waste of time."
Hansen confirmed he did, however, have talks with assistant referee Jaco Peyper, at Peyper's request, to discuss points in All Blacks' play after the Sydney Test won by New Zealand 42-8 the previous week.
Although the Wallabies have been comprehensively beaten in both Tests, Cheika was reluctant to give too much praise to the All Blacks, who are rebuilding after several senior players retired from Test rugby after the World Cup final last year.
"At this stage there's been the two games with us this year and they've beaten us by a handsome margin in both so against us, yes," he said when asked if the All Blacks would dominate the championship.
"The rest of the games will be decided when they go up against those opponents. There's no point trying to predict what's going to happen."
Hansen, when asked if Australia were not as good now as they were when beaten in the World Cup Final last year, was reluctant to criticise.
"On the scoreboard it looks like we've done it pretty easy but I don't think anyone would say it was easy," he said.
"The skill level of our guys was really good under extreme pressure at times. At the moment that's where we've got a little bit of an edge. But I don't want to sit here and bag Australia, they're one of our best friends."

Los Feliz
It lies north of East Hollywood and just south of the Santa Monica Mountains, adjacent to the neighborhoods of Hollywood and Silver Lake. Home to the southern face of Griffith Park, the district includes the Griffith Observatory and the Greek Theatre. Los Feliz is bordered by Hollywood Boulevard to the south, Hyperion Avenue to the southeast, Griffith Park to the north, the Los Angeles River to the east, and Western Avenue to the west. It is traversed by Los Feliz Boulevard.
The rugged, chaparral covered mountains of Griffith Park rise just a few miles north and west of downtown Los Angeles. An oasis in a major metropolis, much of the park's land remains in its natural state. One of the earliest leaders and protectors of the pueblo received this land as a token of appreciation by the Spanish government. This area was once the 6,647-acre (27 km2) Rancho Los Feliz, one of the first land grants in California, given to Corporal Jose Vicente Feliz. An old adobe house built in the 1830s by heirs of Feliz still stands in Griffith Park on Crystal Springs Drive.
Rancho Los Feliz had a succession of owners after the Feliz family. One owner, Colonel Griffith J. Griffith, donated over half of the ranch to the city of Los Angeles, which became one of the largest city-owned parks in the country.
It is estimated that the Native Americans first came to this area approximately 10,000 years ago. The traditional name of this village is not known but the inhabitants were Gabrielinos. This name was given by the Spanish because of the Native Americans' association with the San Gabriel Mission.
As of the census of 2000, it is estimated that there were 40,573 people residing in the Griffith Park/Los Feliz area. The ethnic or racial makeup of the area was 70.54% non-Hispanic White, 3.77% Black or African American, 0.43% Native American, 8.61% Asian, 0.16% Pacific Islander, 2.37% from other races, and 6.45% from two or more races. 16.48% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.
The median income for a household in Los Feliz was approximately $52,104. However, the mean household income for the area north of Los Feliz Blvd. (the Los Feliz Hills), was $196,585 making it one of the wealthiest areas in the country.

It is 1547 and Scotland has been humiliated by an English invasion and is threatened by machinations elsewhere beyond its borders, but it is still free. Paradoxically, her freedom may depend on a man who stands accused of treason. He is Francis Crawford of Lymond, a scapgrace nobleman of crooked felicities and murderous talents, posessed of a scholar's erudition and a tongue as wicked as a rapier. In The Game of Kings, this extraordinary antihero returns to the country that has outlawed him to redeem his reputations even at the risk of his life.

Udyr Build

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.
This is the build i use to jungle up till about level 5 where you should have maladay and boots at least, i tend to gank at least one or 2 people at this point then continue jungling , i wouldn't suggest the golem at level one it gets dicey sometimes but you can do it because i do depedning on the game. The easiest way ive leveld is the two low golems dogs, then move to the big golem or the wraiths, the mana buff is a must and should be obtained everytime you can because at lower levels Udyr eats mana. The dragon is a easy solo at level 9 and if u need to baron will die to a udyr at level 18 with most ease. The most important thing is to get your gold and items built asap. You can easily fall behind if there is a feeder in a lane, and you will need to try to gank to solve this issue, but with a slow or 2 udyr easily eats someone especially at low levels.
