The Olympic Games are the world's largest international athletic competition. Every two years, viewers from around the globe tune in to the Olympics to cheer on their nations' most celebrated athletes. The heroic athletic performances of the Olympics will always be remembered, but what is often forgotten is the incredible preparation effort completed by each host city. London is the latest city to be crowned as an Olympic host and is already well into preparations for the 2012 Olympic Games. Engineers from all disciplines are at the heart of the effort and will play a crucial role in ensuring the London Olympics run smoothly, in hopes that London be portrayed as a modern, majestic city. Specifically, engineers are focusing on the preparation of the Olympic Park site, construction of housing and athletic facilities, improvement of London's transportation infrastructure, and integration of preventative measures against possible terrorism threats.
Every two years, the eyes of billions from around the globe descend upon one city to watch the world's greatest international athletics event: The Olympic Games. In the winter of 2010, we intently watched as the world's top athletes gathered in Vancouver to compete in and celebrate international competition. In light of the recent Games, we look forward to the next exhilarating gathering of the crème de la crème of international athletes, this time in 2012 in London, England, for the Summer Olympic Games (see Fig. 1), officially known as the Games of the XXX Olympiad.
In 2005, London outlasted some of the world's greatest cities in Olympic host city voting, including Paris and New York City, and was named the host of the 2012 Olympic Games, immediately leading to parties and celebrations breaking out all across the United Kingdom. In the days that followed, engineers broke ground on Olympic preparations.
At the center of the celebrations and competition among the world's great cities is the fundamental question: Why do cities care so much about hosting the Olympic Games? Aside from the obvious excitement of having the world's greatest athletes on your home turf, the Olympics have the potential to revitalize an entire city, and even country. Olympic spending has skyrocketed in recent years, with the estimated spending of the 2012 London Olympics ($12 billion) being approximately 150 times greater the Olympic spending by Los Angeles in 1984 ($75 million) (see Fig. 2).
ODA/London 2012
However, before hosting the grandeur that is the Olympic Games, London must carry out an incredible preparation plan. We will now explore London's preparation in four key areas: choosing the Olympic Park site, constructing new facilities, improving transportation infrastructure, and combating terrorism. Furthermore, we will discuss how engineers are truly at the heart of each and every aspect of the preparation.
Olympic Park Site
A crucial part of London's Olympic Plan was the construction of an Olympic Park to serve as the central hub of London's Olympic effort. The currently in-construction Olympic Park includes housing for Olympic participants and competition venues such as the Olympic Stadium and Aquatics Center. However, given London's densely-packed nature, finding a site for such a gargantuan park proved to be no easy task. London is a fully-developed city that has been around for two millennia, and, as a result, there are simply no undeveloped areas available to serve as the home of the Olympic Park. After weighing their options, London's organizers made the bold decision to designate a previously industrial area in Stratford, in the East End of London, as the construction site, prior to winning the Olympic bid (see Fig. 3) [1].
here to check Illumin's article on phytoremediation . Each organism involved in bioremediation targets certain contaminants in the soil; for example, engineers used fertilizers with high nitrate and sulfate content in order to decompose crude oil industrial waste.
For the Olympic Park site in particular, organizers have implemented complex soil washing plants on site. First, soil is excavated and screened for large (>5 cm diameter) particles of heavy metals, plastics, and rocks. Then, the soil passes through secondary chemical treatment plants in which it is sorted into four different output groups using electromagnetic technology: sand (>2 mm), gravel (<50 mm), fine silts and clays, and fine organic matter (plants, coal, etc.). The groups are then treated for contaminants individually. After treatment, the four output groups are combined in different ratios to produce soil with varying structural stability. The soil is then replaced as desired to allow for the stable construction and planning of buildings by civil engineers.
For waterways, engineers have instituted a combination of organic and mechanical treatment approaches. On the organic side, chemical engineers have introduced microorganisms that break down surface oil and other contaminants in the water. Mechanically, hydraulic pumps have been installed to filter the water, similar to the way in which filtering technology is used to rid swimming pools of contaminants. The majority of the work involving the cleansing of waterways and soil has been completed, as building construction is now fully underway.
Environmental engineers have also given the area a 'green' makeover on a larger, more visible scale. By the time of the Games, over 4,000 trees and 300,000 wetland plants will be planted in the Olympic Park, further adding to the environmental improvement of the region [1]. Engineers will also artificially introduce numerous different miniature ecosystems and landscapes across the park, including parklands, meadows, ponds, and wet woodlands, to welcome wildlife from all over England [1].
By the time of the Olympics, the Olympic Park site is expected to contain 127 hectares (313.8 acres) of new, environmentally-friendly urban parkland, featuring clean waterways and wetlands serving as home to many species of native wildlife [3]. The Olympic Park will serve as the most impressive of London's green efforts in preparation for the coming Olympics [4].
Facilities Construction
As with all Olympic Games, one of the most significant logistical problems London faces is ensuring the completed construction of all necessary facilities to host Olympic events and sufficient housing for its 17,000 Olympic participants. On the event side, London had a more difficult job than most host cities because only the tennis venue, the famed Wimbledon Racquet Club, existed prior to Olympic construction [5]. Thus, much new construction was needed, especially in the Olympic Park, to complete the Olympic Stadium, Aquatics Centre, and Olympic Village (see Fig. 4) [1].
Olympic Village
On the Eastern edge of Stratford's Olympic Park, engineers designed a giant apartment complex to serve as the Olympic Village, housing the majority of Olympic participants (see Fig. 5). Civil engineers designed the living area with the future in mind, as London planners hope that the apartments will be attractive living option for future Stratford residents, transforming the region from its industrial roots into a chic urban living option [5].
ODA/London 2012
Athletic Venues
Early on, London's Olympic organizers decided that the majority of Olympic athletic venues, including the Olympic Stadium Aquatics Centre, Sports Arena, and Velodrome (cycling stadium), would be constructed within the Olympic Park. Engineers and architects were able to plan and execute construction of these Olympic Park venues such as the Olympic Stadium and Sports Arena with relative ease for such large structures due to their mostly conventional architecture [6]. However, construction of the Aquatics Centre (see Fig. 6), which will house a diving pool and two 50 meter swimming pools, has been an entirely different story. Largely due to its innovative waveform roof designed by renowned architect Zaha Hadid, the Aquatics Centre is serving as both the most challenging and architecturally striking building project of the Olympic preparation process [7].
ODA/London 2012
The roof itself weighs 2,800 tons, has an area of 11,000 sq. ft, and is 160 m in length across its longest diagonal. Seemingly the entire UK has banded together to create the masterpiece of a roof, as different roof components are being manufactured in northern England, Scotland, and Wales [8]. Incredibly, the massive roof will rest solely on two large concrete support columns and a support wall that is 28 m long and 5 m wide. Most impressively, civil engineers, after extensive pre-construction computer modeling and testing components of the roof in a wind tunnel, are constructing the building in such a way that allows for the waveform roof to twist, stretch, and contract slightly in response to changing temperatures and environmental conditions such as rain and snow [8]. Upon completion, the Aquatics Centre will become the crowning symbol of the London Olympics [7].
Transportation Infrastructure
Although London is renowned for its extensive public transportation infrastructure, its transportation system needs to be upgraded to accommodate the throngs of tourists that will be in London during the Games. Today, London is already a city challenged with urban travel congestion, and in recent years it has been doing its best to eliminate cars in the city center, even implementing a heavy tax system for cars driven during the workweek [9]. The transportation challenge faced by London is two-fold, with half of the effort concentrated on city-wide and intra-city travel, and the other half concentrated on eliminating traffic congestion in the Olympic Park and immediate surrounding areas [10].
Greater London
Many Olympic experts feel that what set London apart from other potential host cities when vying for a bid back in 2005 was London's proposed Olympic transportation system [11]. During the Games, most fans and event attendees will not be staying within walking distance of the Olympic Park or other Olympic venues, and thus will need access to public transportation [12].
London pledges to have the most fan accessible Olympic Park in the history of the modern games [10]. By the time of the Games in 2012, ten separate railway lines will connect the Olympic Park to all parts of London [11]. Transportation engineers estimate that when all lines are fully operational, Stratford's main station will accommodate the arrival of 240,000 passengers per hour, an absolutely astounding feat of engineering that will hopefully relieve a significant amount of street traffic.
Two of the largest contributors to this transportation efficiency will be the Olympic Javelin and Eurostar. The first, the in-construction Olympic Javelin, is a railway consisting of 12-car trains that can travel up to 225 km/hour. The Javelin will remarkably connect Stratford to two of London's largest stations, King's Cross/St. Pancras and Kent, in seven and ten minutes, respectively [11]. Eurostar, unlike the Olympic Javelin, deals with more distant travel, facilitating passenger movement from Paris and Brussels to the Stratford Olympic station. Both trips, from Paris and Brussels, will take approximately two hours, a feat that significantly added to London's transportation resume.
Even with London's incredible rail additions, street travel was still an issue faced by London's transportation engineers. In response, London has revved up its public bus system to accommodate the coming Olympics and the people the Games will bring. Most notably, London will be utilizing hundreds of new hybrid buses to transport eager Olympic fans to and from their favorite venues. Although the buses will appear on the outside to be in London's classic red double decker buses, they will actually be hybrid buses designed by BAe Systems in New York. Not only will London's transportation system be one of the most efficient by the time of the Games, it will also be one of the most environmentally friendly [13].
ODA/London 2012
Olympic Park
In addition to concerning itself with public transportation on the city-wide level, Olympic organizers are working to prevent potential congestion in the Olympic Park and roads connecting the Olympic Park to other locales. Given that the Olympic site itself comprises multiple waterways and railways that separate regions of the park, the Olympic Delivery Authority has been forced to develop a complex network of bridges, walkways, and roads to bring all the pieces of the park together. New Civil Engineer reports that an example of infrastructure construction are the five new bridges being built to connect the Olympic stadium, which is surrounded on three sides by water, to other areas of the Olympic Park (see Fig. 7). Olympic Delivery Authority Director Simon Wright explains, "These new networks of roads and bridges are already transforming the once fragmented Olympic Park site, [are] creating new links for construction activity and [are] providing the building blocks for an open and accessible Park in 2012 and beyond" [10]. Ultimately, by the time the Games arrive, London will have provided efficient means of travel both on foot and by vehicle for the Olympic Park and immediately surrounding areas [3].
Combating Terrorism
In an article about the forthcoming London Olympics, Elizabeth Renzetti, a writer for the Canadian The Globe and Mail, reported that "international terrorism has been identified as the greatest threat to the 2012 Olympics." It only takes one security breach or terrorist event to potentially derail the success of an entire Olympic Games [12]. Learning from past tragedies, such as the Centennial Park bombing at the Atlanta Summer Olympics in 1996 and the horrific murder of Israeli athletes during the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics, London's organizers will utilize all possible resources to keep fans and athletes safe. In addition to the Olympics being especially prone to terrorist attacks, London has already proven to be an attractive terrorist target after falling victim to an attack the day after London had been announced as the host of the 2012 Games [14]. While human security forces may still be at the heart of terrorism in this digital age, London will do its best to combine both human and technological resources to prevent any occurrence of terrorism during the Games.
In terms of human security forces, London will both rely on the military and normal security forces to patrol London during the Games. During one of London's largest public events, the Notting Hill Carnival, the city typically deploys about 6,000 police officers. However, early reports claim that up to 9,000 police officers will be on patrol at any given time during the 2012 games. Furthermore, up to 5,000 trained security officers will be available to assist police officers. In addition, London is prepared to rely upon military foot soldiers if need be. The human security forces will primarily be involved with ensuring the safety of civilians traveling around the city and the safety of athletes as they move to and from the Olympic Village to the various Olympic venues. Learning from the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, during which many raucous parties arose before and after large events, security personnel will pay special attention to any large crowds that gather before or after events by stationing extra officers around venues for a few hours before and after popular events. London officers aim to maintain a celebratory, relaxed atmosphere while still ensuring that no parties get out of hand [15].
London will assuredly have a grasp on human-based security by the time the Olympics roll around. However, where London is really separating itself in terms of superior security preparation is through the use of technology. By July 2012, London will have relied on electrical, mechanical, and computer engineers to implement a fully functional fleet of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) to patrol London during the Olympics. UAVs will give security forces a distinct advantage in that they are the most effective manner to gain perspective from above, with high resolution cameras that prove extremely effective in identifying cars and people [16]; for more information on this technology, check out Illumin's article on UAVs.
In addition, London will have helicopters and anti-aircraft military defense on call in case of an aerial attack [15]. In implementing a combination of both human and technological resources in the fight against terrorism, London is reducing the chance of any major terrorist attack occurring during the Olympic Games.
By the time the 2012 Summer Olympic Games roll around, London will have endured a seven year long grueling Olympic preparation process. Olympic organizers and engineers will have spent countless hours checking that every preparation in terms of Olympic site, facilities construction, transportation infrastructure, and security has been completed, and London will finally be ready for the big show. Though the Olympic Games will come and go, London will be left with beautiful new athletic facilities, a vastly improved infrastructure, and experience in maintaining public security even in the most hectic events. London will be forever improved, and the focus will shift to Sochi, Russia, host of the 2014 Olympic Games, where assuredly Olympic preparations are already in full swing.

Notes for Tonight's Newsletter:
Bearish markets are telling us to keep looking SHORT tomorrow; Crude Oil rolled-over, E-Mini S&P is ready to fail at range-highs, while Gold and Euro are right where we want them to be… are you ready for Wednesday?
Crude Oil is bearish after rolling-over to the 10-15 contract which means sellers have new resistance levels to use overhead as we test the highs of the long-term bearish channel.
E-mini S&P is bearish after breaking the highs of the wedge and trading-range which means sellers will be looking for trades at resistance levels above and buyer-failures at support levels below.
Gold is bearish coming off the overshoot at channel-highs which means sellers are looking for opportunities at resistance levels as well as buyer-failures at support levels below.
Euro is bearish coming off the range-highs but we are trading at some very important support levels this evening so we expect to see a bounce higher before this price goes lower.

When CNBC described data analysis as the sexiest job of the 21st century, they were not joking. What they had inferred was simply that there is a huge shortage of data analyst skills relative to the hyper-growing demand for such expertise. Data is being built up and stored every second of every day, the major issue now is how to sift through this data and analyze for the nuggets of gold that define policies, shape ideas and hopefully identify growth opportunities. The ratio of data analysts available to the need in the workforce is widening at an accelerated rate. This gap has made it necessary for business to consider strategies that ensure businesses can analyze this growing wealth of data without waiting to fill in data analyst positions.
The major benefit is self-evident: it is faster and more efficient. Rather than wait for the data analyst, the business owner is empowered to make his decisions and answer his questions by himself. This cuts away a lot of the time ordinarily wasted in passing through the chain of command from subject matter experts to business analysts to data analysts to reports designers and all the way back up before decisions could be made. A self-service business intelligence solution cuts away the time spent by analyzing the data personally and making decisions faster. There will of course always be a need for data analysts for more complex modelling and statistical analysis, however business users are more than capable of helping themselves to data when given the right analytics tools to do so.
Business owners and analysts are capable of making more informed decisions when they analyze the information themselves as opposed the preparation of reports by independent data analysis teams that do not understand the business and often all into multiple interactions to get to the required insight. And of course, self-service business intelligence ensures the IT department are not drowning in ad-hoc requests and can focus more on data quality and data stewardship to deliver cleaner and more accurate data.
Self-Service with governance and compliance in mind
Self-service business intelligence is certainly nothing new, spreadsheets are the most widely used self-service analytics tool on the planet. However an inherent problem with spreadsheets is that there is no IT governance around it's usage and the data is almost certainly orphaned from its source. The decentralized nature of spreadsheets means that business terms, calculations, mappings are inconsistent, and there are no controls around sharing the data within.
As stated by the research firms Gartner and Forrester, governance is a critical element for a successful self-service business intelligence implementation to ensure consistency, oversight, auditing with monitoring and manageability through IT.
In a recently published viewpoint at BeyeNetworks, Marty Carney discusses the importance of effective training and support for Business Intelligence tools. If users of business intelligence tools don't "receive effective training and mentorship, they simply won't use those tools." Ultimately reverting back to manual and inefficient methods they are most familiar with. Indeed, industry reports suggest that more than 60% of BI implementations fail due to lack of end-user adoption.
Excel on iPad expands the promise of Self Service BI by enabling everyday users to distribute information in a manner which now can be easily accessible via the most popular mobile tablet in the world today, the iPad.

Wonderful set of 4 matching stacks of early tiger oak Globe Wernicke barrister bookcases. I recently bought these from a friend of mine (at considerable time and expense). I would date them to the very early 1900's. They were part of the estate of a local county judge, and used to be in a local courthouse. While it is possible to complete a set such as this, individually, to do so would be a daunting, and costly task.Each unit is marked across the top cross member with the early Globe Wernicke label, and not the paper label on the back, as is the case with later models. All 4 stacks have the highly desirable ogee tops and bases. All have E bases, and one E unit at the bottom. The rest are D units. 3 of the units are the standard 34 inches in width, the remaining is approx. 28 and 1/2 inches across. The narrower stack is quite rare, and I give you my word that it was manufactured at that size, and has not been cut down by anyone outside the factory. The narrow stack was found in a small walkway between two larger rooms, and was painted green at one time. It would be a lot easier to remove that paint, than it would be to find another unit of that rare size. You may notice that the narrow stack has one missing. That section will be included with the set. Furthermore, I have done little so far, to clean the stacks. ... read more

Yoga Food is vegetarian. It provides guidelines for good eating habits and techniques.
Yoga has divided food into 3 categories
Sattvic Foods are foods that should be eaten the most and that are easily digestible. These foods nourish the body, purify the mind and heal the imbalance in the body by generating good health, energy, vitality, vigor, mental alertness, peace and strength.
Rajasic Foods are foods that should be eaten moderately or occasionally and are foods that are not as easily digestible like Sattvic foods. These foods provide the extra-stimulation and energy sometimes required by the body.
Tamasic Foods are foods that should be eaten the least and are foods that are difficult to digest. They deplete energy and cause dullness and lethargy as the body requires a lot more energy to digest these foods. They are also known to cause negative emotions like anger and depression.

Seventy-Four Ponies Seem Plenty
This week, I visited Skyjack, where I learned that the company will be introducing an 80-something foot articulating boom lift, a 5,000-lb. telehandler, and a 12,000-lb. telehandler in the next few months. Although details about the new machines were not yet available, the news that they are coming is exciting.

(Originally posted at Gods & Radicals)
A common refrain I hear in many Pagan spaces, both online and off, is "this is a non-political space". In light of the recent toing and froing around this issue in the Pagan blogosphere, this has been on my mind again.
On the surface, this sounds like a good idea. Paganism is religion, and politics is politics. Paganism should be about bringing people together in honour of our gods and spirits, while politics just divides people and distracts from the reason why we get together as Pagans in the first place.
But, and this is a big "but", there is a problem with declaring any space, including Pagan ones, as being "non-political", and that problem is that there are some issues in our society on which it is impossible to be non-political. I'm not talking about the party politics of Labour vs Tory, Democrat vs Republican etc, but if you think that this is all that "politics" is then that is a very privileged position, which does not reflect the day-to- day lives of many people, including many Pagans.
Let me explain. There are groups in Western society which are systematically oppressed: women, people of colour, LGBT people, disabled people, the list sadly goes on and on. These groups are not only oppressed through the very structures which make up our society, but there are also people who actively try to keep us oppressed, bigots who actively try to keep us down at best and wipe us out of existence at worst.
For members of these oppressed groups, our daily lives can often be a struggle just to survive, a struggle to carve out a space to live, a constant fight to demand that our lives have just as much value as others. We live these fights just through carrying on with our normal lives, every time we go out to the shops or to see friends, through carrying on breathing; as well as through our activism.
You might have heard the phrase "the personal is political", well, for oppressed people it is these continued struggles in the face of systems of oppression which make our personal lives political. Yes many of us do activism, engage in demonstrations, engage in direct actions or even the dreaded party politics I mentioned above; but continuing to exist in the light of a system saying that you are lesser, that your life is worth less than others simply because of who you are is just as political. We can't just shed these aspects of our identities when we step into a space, even a Pagan space.
Our daily fight for existence carries on inside the circle just as much as it does outside of it. And for those of you lucky enough who don't have to fight daily for your right to exist, I'm sorry to tell you that there is no "non-political" neutral position on these issues. There is a saying which goes "all that it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing". Now aside from the noticeable sexism in this quote (see how politics gets in everywhere?), this makes a very good point. Claiming a neutral position in the face of injustice only ends up reinforcing the status-quo and therefore reinforcing these oppressions. When you are in charge of a space, whether this is a circle, a Pagan Pride parade, or a blog, this can express itself in many ways, some of which might not be obvious at first glance: Who are you inviting to your event? Remember those bigots I mentioned earlier who want to keep people oppressed or worse? Well if you have them at your event then their very presence makes it unsafe to attend for the groups they oppress. If there is an active transphobe in your circle, then their presence makes that circle unsafe for trans people to attend, regardless of the opinions or wishes of the organiser, and so trans people won't attend. Not out of protest, but out of a need to survive.
Who attends your event goes beyond the safety of oppressed people, it can also greatly affect how the wider public view Pagans and Paganism. When anti-fascists point out the risks of the far-right to Paganism, we are criticised for making associations between Nazi's and Paganism, but if you have Neo-Nazis accepted at your "non-political" Pagan Pride parade, that will definitely create the association in the general public's mind between Paganism and Neo-Nazis. This is dangerous for all Pagans. And if you scoff and think "well of course we wouldn't want Neo-Nazis on our Pagan Pride parade" then you are already bringing politics into Paganism, the very thing anti-fascist Pagans are criticised for doing. Beyond issues around attendance, does your ritual recognise and include same-gender couples? Then that's political. Does your ritual not include recognition of same-gender couples, maybe only using a God-and- Goddess structure? Then this is just as political. Western society has spent years if not centuries saying that same-gender relationships are lesser than man-woman relationships, it has erased those relationships while oppressing the people in them. Unfortunately your ritual cannot be separated out from this cultural context, and by not including same-gender relationships alongside man-woman relationships, you are excluding by omission, contributing to and continuing this history of erasure. This is true regardless of the opinions or even the sexualities of the organisers.
Have you gone to extra lengths to make sure trans women are safe using the toilets at your event? In light of the current campaign against us being able to, this is a political act. Do you not know or you haven't tried to ensure that trans women are safe using your toilets? This is just as political. Regardless of your opinion on Laverne Cox, if we cannot do something as simple as peeing, then how are we going to be able to engage in the rest of your event? Trans women have far higher rates of UTIs and bladder cancer than equivalent cis women due to us retaining urine too long due to not being able to use toilets. It's hard to think of a more personal issue which has been politicised by oppression than trying to use the bathroom. Similarly, do you have gender-neutral toilets? Political. Do you not have gender-neutral toilets? Just as political. If non-binary people also cannot pee at your event without risking personal upset at best and violence at worst for using the wrong toilet, then they also won't be able to engage in your event, making this decision just as political.
If you have icons of your deities on the altar at your public ritual then what do they look like? Have you chosen a diverse range of ethnicities and body types to represent? Political. Are they all white, thin and appear to be able bodied? Just as political. If the appearance of the very deities you have gathered to worship end up reflecting the exact same body types and appearances which are placed at the top of the pyramid by our society, then what message does that send to people whose bodies don't and never will look like that? If you are told every day, in every advert you see, that your body is wrong and these bodies are right, then you turn up to a ritual in the evening and you only see those exact same bodies being held up as being the gods, how might that make you feel about your body and your relationship to the gods?

Akali Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey guys , this is my 2nd guide and I wll be showcasing my build of Akali , the Fist of Shadow. In this guide I focus on getting both buffs of her passive early game , and well being what Akali was made for..an ASSASIN. As Akali she is an Assasin burst champ that at lvl 6 , excells at killing squishies . What you should for Akali in teamfights is focus on killing the squishies and carry on the team , since she excels at doign that . Akali is a really squishy champ and has no escape mechanisms even though people say her W is one , sure you can juke it with Akali but you can't survive , because if your AOE'd in there at low hp your problably dead. Lets carry on to the rest of the build shall we ? "Without Question"
+Great Mid and Late game.
+One of the best Burst Champs in the game.
+Great at juking and escaping with enemy heroes / minions nearby.
+Low Cooldowns
+Uses Energy
+Great at Farming
+Great at killing squishies.
+And she has really good AP Ratios if you think about how fast you can spam your abilities.
+Golem Buff is OP on her.
-Really Squishy Hero
-Uses Energy
-Usually focused on first in teamfights , especcially when you get Mejai's Soulstealer stacks rolling.
-Hard to Master
-Sucks early game
-Lacks an Escape Mechanism if you fail at juking in your invis shield
-Item Dependant
-Needs to Farm early game to do good mid and late game.
For Masteries , I like to go with a 21-9-0 build focusing on Ability Power , Cooldowns , Magic Pen , Attack Damage , Attack Speed , and Increased Base and Magic Damage in Offense . In Defense I focus on Magic Resist , Dodge , and the Nimbleness Mastery.
For Runes , I go with Flat Magic Penetration Marks , 1 Flat Ability Power and 8 Flat HP Seals , Flat AP Glyphs , 2 Flat Ability Power Quints , and 1 Flat Attack Damage Quint. The reason I choose these runes for Akali is because I am able to activate both her Ability Power and Attack Damage Passives for her Early Game with just a Doran's Blade. Besides , Magic Pen Marks are a must on any Ability Power / Mage / Caster type champ :P
Summoner Spells
For Summoner Spells on Akali , I like to get Ignite and Flash. Ignite to finish off that last burst on a champ , and Flash for when your in your W near a cliff , etc , or if you need it to chase or escape. Other great Summoner Spells on Akali is Exhaust , Ghost , or Teleport. The reason I choose Teleport , (I choose it when I play Ranked once in a while if the enemy team doesn't have AOE) is because when your in your W , which lasts for 8 seconds , and Teleporting lasts about 4 seconds (3.5) with it's mastery upgrade , you can teleport right out of your W , with your enemies dumbfounded when your cloud is over !
I agree to this example and thank "whatt" and his build : http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/akali-teleport-7042 for this brilliant idea.
Will write more later , not much time now D:
UPDATE: Sorry for the title changing so much , they all sound so good so I can't decided XD

In case you were wondering, the "Moto" in "MotoGP" is short for "motorcycle," but we'd like to think that the M actually stands for BMW's M division. Why? Take a look at the photo above: BMW is bringing its sporty models back to this year's MotoGP series as pace/safety cars.
BMW's M division first partnered with MotoGP in 1999 when it added some graphics and a light bar to a Z8 for use as a MotoGP safety car. In the years since we've seen all manner of BMW M cars at the front of the pack of motorcycles, and in 2009 M went so far as to release the X6 M sports activity coupe to the public in MotoGP safety car form.
This year, BMW M provided eight vehicles for the series. The biggest development is the inclusion of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, fresh off of its debut at this year's North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The 560-horsepower four-door coupe will be joined by the M6 coupe (with two fewer doors), and an M5 sedan (with the same engine), and all three will be used as safety cars. The track's safety officer will make use of a BMW M3 in what appears to be frozen gray paint. The medics, meanwhile, will use two of BMW's M Performance models, the M550d xDrive wagons. Finally, the two safety bikes are HP4 models.
The two models will take to the track this weekend at the Qatar Grand Prix, staged at the Losail International Circuit in Qatar.

Two brothers joined hands and started JHS, as it was recognized back in the year 1972, but today, it is the leader in real estate in Brazil, the JHSF group. Jose Roberto Auriemo and his brother and business partner Fabio launched JHS with the aim of serving the construction and real estate market.
But around 1990, the two brothers divided the company into two. Fabio Auriemo decided to specialize in business activities targeting the real estate market which was the JHSF Partcipacoes wing.
While Jose Roberto Auriemo took over the other part JHSJ.
JHSF Participacoes joined the real estate sector, and with no time, it was expanding its bases to cover more business operations which included shopping malls sectors.
Among the very many JHSF projects is the Santa Cruz complex in Sao Paulo. It was a pioneering move that mapped the overall activities of the JHSF. Santa Cruz included a transport system, numerous shopping centers, residential buildings, and office blocks, among other spectacular landmarks.
JHSF has been at the forefront in developing Brazil's high-end markets; this has given them a chance to explore the international arena. JHSF Internacional is doing a commendable job in Uruguay and the United States.
JHSF boasts of 815 on Fifth Avenue found in New York City and residential homes in Punta del Este in Uruguay.
With their various projects in Brazil and beyond, you can learn one thing from JHSF group; they have tailored their business activities and strategies to target recurring income sectors. Their main areas include commercial and residential real estate projects, shopping malls and executive airports, and hotels and restaurants.
Recently, JHSF added more value to its brand by acquiring Fasano luxury hotels and rights of Fasano brand name. The move will enable the company to serve more clients and cement its position in high-end markets.
About Jose Auriemo Neto
Jose Auriemo Neto is the son of Fabio Auriemo, the co-founder of JHSF. Jose Auriemo Neto joined the company in 1993, and he is the alumnus of Fundacao Armando Alvares Penteado (FAAP) University based in Sao Paulo. Three years after his entry into the company, Jose Auriemo Neto launched Parkbem, a service-based wing of the JHSF Company.
Jose Auriemo Neto serves as the chairman and CEO of JHSF Group. He has helped the company launch some successful projects including the partnerships with Hermes, Jimmy Choo, and other prestigious brands. He also spearheaded the launch of first ever R.E.D. Valentino stores in Brazil. To know more about him click here.

[tps_footer]Before finalizing Anushka Sharma as the lead actress opposite Salman Khan in Sultan, the makers of the film were very hunting to find the perfect lead actress for the film. Sultan, which is being directed by Ali Abbas Zafar was very much in news for the casting even before the shooting of the film began.
From Priyanka Chopra, to Deepika Padukone, Parineeti Chopra and a lot of names had come up for the lead role opposite Salman Khan in the film. The gossip mills were always abuzz with the rumours of the lead female actor, but little did anyone know that Katrina Kaif was the first choice opposite Salman in Sultan and the reason behind rejecting the role was very much obvious.
Yes, you read that right! A source from the unit EXCLUSIVELY revealed to us that Katrina Kaif was the first choice before Anushka Sharma turned to be lucky by bagging the lead actress role. Salman Khan wanted Katrina Kaif to be his leading actress.
Source revealed saying, "Katrina was offered the role at first, but since she was dating Ranbir Kapoor, she rejected the role. Ranbir was the reason why she rejected being in the film with Salman."
Well, all we can say that Katrina Kaif missed a very big opportunity, as we all know Salman Khan's films are huge than expected and box office numbers are undoubtedly massive always.
Nevertheless, currently, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif are not together as they have allegedly parted ways couple of months ago. The estranged couple is currently shooting for their upcoming film 'Jagga Jasoos' in Cape Town.[/tps_footer]

There are folks who love having a powerful and accurate air rifle that offers plenty of perks that can cost a pretty penny, similar to the RWS Model 54 combo rifle. But the brand offers a .22-caliber Model 34 that provides a few bells and whistles of its own while costing a fraction of the price tag – a good selling point for any hunter. A lot of hunters have also been attracted to the brand that started as part of Rheinisch-Westfälischen Sprengstoff-Fabriken – known for German craftsman style of wooden stocks that have an older feel while still delivering newer shooting technologies that provide high velocity for multiple types of ammunition, a good choice for the different targets out in the fields and forests.
All of these are similar capabilities of the RWS Model 54 but for nearly half the price to make it one of the brand's top-selling air rifles for 2012, 2013 and 2014 – the Model 54 goes from between $600-800, while the Model 34 is around the $310-375 range.
Similar to other RWS rifles, the Model 34 provides a chance accept a variety of pellets while maintaining a large amount of velocity between using both the .177-caliber and .22-caliber pellets – the latter being used as a great choice for going after the smaller game and taking care of pesky pests in your yard or within your land.
The .177-caliber pellets will have the highest speed at about 1,000 feet per second, but there isn't much of a drop-off speed
The stock is designed using a balanced Monte Carlo style that uses hardwood frame that helps provide stability and the ability to shoot with either a left or right dominant hand – with a corresponding ambidextrous cheek piece for comfort while looking through the scope. The Model 34 also features an open rear sight and a fixed front with that is hooded with fiber optics – both can be adjusted to the specific hunter's preference.
In addition, the air rifle also includes a break barrel system that is pretty robust, as well as a trigger that can be adjusted between two stages. There isn't a lot of difficulties when it comes to cocking the weapon since its considered light for its size at about 30 pounds.
Other features include a scope with only seven and a half extra pounds, which isn't too much additional weight. The Model 34 also comes with automatic safety settings.
One of the first things that customers have complimented through online forums is the sight being dead-on accurate straight out of the packaging, a good thing for not only expert marksmen and beginners alike. With the help of a quality scope and adjustable rear and front sight, the same customer noted they were able to hit a two-by-two-inch bell from about 70 feet away.
More than one satisfied customer was impressed with how quiet the recoil was after firing, which is good for those who like to be very stealthy while attempting to snipe more than one animal at a time. One wrote it's a perfect air rifle considering his home is in the woods and the silence is beneficial wanting to improve his food supply when necessary.
Another customer enjoyed that if they wanted to, they could hug their gun and grab the barrel with both hands while the breech provided a safe touch that prevents the barrel from cutting off your finger during a cocking after a shot – that's because the Model 34 is consistently stationary while loading pellets back into the breech.
The one negative that prevented one customer who wrote a four-start review – which is against the majority of five star ratings – is a scope that gave some hunters some issue with trying to independently adjust the crosshairs. It wasn't a big problem, considering they made the decision to spend only a tiny bit extra on an after-market scope.
Overall, many believe this is a perfect rifle for those wanting to live off the grid or be prepared for a potential doomsday scenario – low-costs for ammunition, provides muscle power, dependable and requires no need for gunpowder. One even wrote that the RWS Model 34 combo rifle has helped fulfill childhood dreams.

FZ :: Music vs War
"If ya wanna have a world of well performed orchestra music, you're gonna have to spend the money to do it. Now, where ya gonna get the money? Well, you know, if you were to shut down some of these places that make tritium for nuclear warheads, which we don't really need, you could have one hell of a musical culture in the United States just by shutting down … one! … of those facilities, which is making the environment polluted, and it is questionable whether we really need, we got plenty of nuclear warheads. We could blow up the world five times over right now. Why do we need to make more of this stuff? I'm baffled."

Loving and peace-giving God,
I so desperately desire that "peace that passes all understanding". My heart has been so full of anxiety and pain, and I know You aren't a genie, but I know You ARE life giving. I just want it to go away. I want to feel confident that this will pass...that I am always going to make it through. I know in my heart that I can stay strong, but my mind has a harder time believing it.
May I have peace, God. May I feel peace. May I show peace. Please throughout this day, whisper "I am here. I am with you. It will all be okay." And please come carry me if it feels too hard. Remind me that I am growing. I am growing EVERY DAY. And I want to grow to be more like You. Help me see what looks like you. Help me give You those sorrows I hold onto so tightly, so that I can focus on showing this world Your love.

I am so happy I found you on the internet. I am a collector of all types of crystals and stones, wearing jewelry all the time as is revealed by my email of gemlover. The gem is for gemstones. I know they have energies and I work with them all of the time in my ministry and personal life. At present, I am with health issues. I say issues as magazines come around monthly or so.
Each one is an issue and we read what we need, pass the magazine on. Thus, I call my personal "stuf"� issues in hopes that they will "move on"� and away from me. I have one of the lamps already in my home and love it. It stay lit 24/7. I also have lit crystals, geodes and other stones lit electrically. They are my "nightlights"� and my "� day lights"�.
I would love the honor of having any free crystals. Someone from there sent me a special stone for my back and I have found a new Indian (India) doctor who works with Spirit and is a healer. My fibromyalgia is better since I have had four manual treatments from this wonderful doctor. He has a sanctuary of healing instead of a "cold"� medical office.

PERTH AMBOY – The city is currently accepting bids to provide emergency medical services and basic life-support ambulance service as a result of a recent court decision.
Earlier this year, Perth Amboy planned to lay off city emergency medical technicians and contract Raritan Bay Medical Center to provide emergency medical service to city residents. The Perth Amboy Fire Department Professional Emergency Medical Technicians International Association of Firefighters Local 3994, which represents the EMTs, obtained a temporary restraining order preventing the city from entering into the contract, which would have saved an estimated $460,000.
According to city officials, Raritan Bay Medical Center has picked up the request for proposals, but they are not sure who else might submit a bid by the Aug. 5 deadline.
"We're awaiting any response," Perth Amboy Business Administrator Jane Feigenbaum said.
The request for proposals seeks applicants who are willing to provide emergency medical and ambulance services within Perth Amboy for the next five years. The applicant must be willing to hire some of the city's 10 full-time EMTs and will have the option to lease garage and office space at the Fire Department headquarters and lease or purchase three city ambulances.

The term used to describe the relationship between actors Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Typically adored by people who watch "The Notebook" way too many times and like to pretend that Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling are The Real Thing because of what they saw in the movie.
Does anyone know if McGosling is together or not??? My entire future happiness depends on them making it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Conscience: Taxes for peace Not War
We spoke with Holly Wallis, Parliamentary Officer with Conscience on the #PeaceTaxBill, that is due to be read in May.
Conscience: Taxes for peace Not War campaigns for individuals who want, in all good faith, to contribute their fair amount of tax, yet cannot reconcile their conscience with the deliberate killing the government sanctions and carries out in their name.
Ruth Cadbury MP is introducing a bill to Parliament on behalf of Conscience which would allow for the right of conscientious objection to military tax (COMT). The Taxes For Peace Bill would provide the freedom of conscience to those who are morally, ethically or religiously opposed to war to be able to re-direct the military portion of their taxes towards a fund designated for non-military security – a Peace Tax Fund.
100 years ago this year, the WW1 Military Service Act simultaneously introduced compulsory military service and the inclusive right to conscientious objection in Britain for the first time. Since 1916, the right to freedom of conscience has been recognised in every significant international treaty. The European Convention on Human Rights, United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and the British Human Rights Act all testify that everyone has the right to "…freedom of thought, conscience and religion."
Modern wars, however, are no longer fought with conscript armies in this country, but with professional armies, high-tech weapons, and the ideology of deterrence - paid for with our taxes. This is financial conscription with no right to object.
At a time when Britain is spending £105,000 of the taxpayer's money every time it fires a Brimstone Missile, Conscience's Bill recognises the right to invest in a culture of peace rather than war. It is a government's duty to keep its people safe and secure, and that is something we should all contribute to financially. This does not mean, however, that this security can only be established through threat of violence and overseas killing. Peacebuilding is a more sustainable, effective and economic form of security. Investment in our planet is a method of prevention rather than cure.

On the Fence is a refreshing Whisky Cocktail made by blending Whisky and Cider. This is a classic cocktail, which was created by American farmers, three hundred years ago. At that time, these farmers mixed Apple Cider and Rye Whisky to make this delicious drink. Few drops of Angostura Bitters are added to some of the modern variants of this cocktail.
This delicious mix is also called 'Stone Fence'. Apple Cider gives a light orange hue to this mix. The amazing concoction is served in an Old Fashioned Glass but a Tall Glass can also be used. Some bartenders add crushed ice to keep this drink chilled for a longer time. You can garnish the cocktail with crushed mint leaves to give it minty aftertaste.
Cocktail recipes and articles are intended only for audience above the Legal Drinking Age as specified by their state & country of residence. Enjoy Responsibly.

MTV is doing less party and more purity.
The network announced today that it greenlit a new reality series that will focus on the lives of modern day virgins.
Still untitled, the show will chronicle the love lives of a group of abstinent people between age 18 to 25 as they nagivate the world with their v-card.
At the center of the 12-episode series will be their sex talks with mom and dad, sexually-active driven friends and pressure to give in to their carnal temptations.
This will be the second attempt for MTV – the first being the reality project "My First" – to pop its virginity with a show featuring abstinence.

What would you do if you were Secretary of Labor, and you found out that your administration had just overseen a four-year job unemployment trajectory that went from 7.6% to 7.9%? If you're Hilda Solis, and if you're cozy with the mainstream media, you'd celebrate.
That's just what Solis did today. The Labor Secretary, according to reporter Scott MacFarlane, "just bounced into studio with a big smile. Handed out candy to reporters. Loves job numbers."
You know who doesn't love the job numbers? The 5 million Americans who have been unemployed for over a year. The 23 million Americans still out of work. And the hundreds of millions of Americans who are about to get hit with higher taxes in a stagnant economy thanks to Secretary Solis' boss, President Obama.
An increasing unemployment rate is no reason for celebration. Unless you're the Obama administration, where success has been defined down dramatically.

I am slowly getting my sea legs. I am getting better at rolling with the tide instead of trying to stand so straight. Life is changing in ways that feel good. I am struggling here and there, but isn't that apart of life? I want to get back to blogging. It's one of the many things that was put on the back burner the last few months.
As for a quick update, that I will elaborate on later, I graduated in June, took a fulltime job as a therapist in July, bought a house in August, and moved-in in September. It's been a busy couple of months. Lots of change and growth.

Modern datacentres perform rack-to-rack interconnection primarily through Active Optical Cables (AOCs), used to carry hundreds of gigabits through hundreds of meters. Current AOC products rely on simple on-off keying modulation to transmit parallel "lanes" of data in arrays of multi-mode fiber. Although simple an approach, its scalability is reaching its limits and cannot keep up with the soaring demand for capacity.
MIRAGE aims to disrupt current development efforts by introducing new degrees of parallelization in optical interconnects. Within the project workplan a manifold of recent developments and paradigms are leveraged effectively to untap the potential of AOC technologies.
The following disciplines are streamlined in MIRAGE to unleash the scalability of AOCs:
- data transmission in multi-core single-mode fiber and development of the necessary chip-to-fiber interfaces
- introduction of multi-level modulation schemes for capacity upgrade
- introduction of wavelength multiplexing in Active Optical Cables

Study Medicine Abroad in English
Unlike medical schools in the UK, the medical schools we represent in Europe do not require a pre-med course load and a bachelor degree. Students must have a high-school diploma and pass the medical school entrance exam. After that, med students are evaluated according to their performance and grades achieved in the European med school.
Studying medicine in Europe is an excellent solution for students who cannot afford or get into medical schools in their own country. There are several excellent medical programs taught in English which you can review here on our Study Medicine Abroad page.

HOUSTON -- A Houston mother filed a civil lawsuit against a southeast Houston pharmacy Tuesday alleging that the pharmacy killed her daughter by accidentally giving them a concentration of pain medication 10-times too strong for the 6-year-old girl.
"I miss her," said Simone Allen, flanked by her attorneys at a Tuesday afternoon news conference to announce the lawsuit.
Her daughter Jadalyn Williams was born with sickle-cell anemia and had received a low dosage prescription of morphine sulfate since the age of one to help manage her pain.
The lawsuit alleges that Williams was prescribed a 15mg dose of morphine sulfate on March 28, 2012 at Texas Children's Hospital and that the prescription was filled at the pharmacy the family had used for the past ten years: Cullen Care Pharmacy in southeast Houston.
Allen said she gave her daughter a single dose of the medication April 2, 2012 as indicated on the bottle. Williams died the next day and her cause of death was ruled morphine toxicity and the manner of death ruled an accident.
In their civil lawsuit against Cullen Care Pharmacy, Allen and her attorneys allege that the resulting tests showed the prescription was not 15mg as stipulated by the girl's pediatrician but that it was 150mg, 10-times as concentrated a liquid as it should have been.
"They gave me the medicine to help her with her pain and it ended up killing her," Allen said.
Now nearly a year and half after her daughter's death, Allen has filed a lawsuit against the pharmacy because she says she has not received adequate answers from the pharmacy or the pharmacy's insurer.
"And I would like to know whether they have been disciplined, trained or whether it's just business as usual for them," said attorney Muhammad Aziz of their attempt to find out who at the pharmacy filled the prescription.
But Allen, who is also seeking monetary damages up to $1 million, said an apology would be a good start.
"I do want an apology," Allen said. "I lost my child. Why wouldn't you call me to say Simone I'm sorry? I trusted them with my kid's medicine and they made a mistake and I don't want them to do it to anyone else."
"And we want them to reach out to her. It's a small company so they can pick up the phone and say something to her," said attorney Derrell Wright.
The pharmacy continues to operate near Old Spanish Trail and Cullen on the southeast side. KHOU 11 News contacted the pharmacy to get a response to the lawsuit but calls were not returned by either the pharmacy or its attorneys.

I had dinner with my friend TJ tonight. He paid for his meal with cash. After we'd settled the check, he pulled out a small spiral notebook and jotted down some numbers.
"What's that?" I asked.
"I've started using a notebook to keep track of what I spend," he told me. "Whenever I pay in cash, I write it down. Otherwise I don't have any idea where it goes."
"That's a great idea," I said. "I track every penny I earn and spend, but I do it on the computer. I use Quicken. It helps me know what I'm doing."
"I don't have the discipline to keep track of my finances like that," said TJ. "Besides, I'm not trying to track every penny. But since I moved into this new house, money's been pretty tight. I feel pinched. Keeping this notebook gives me a rough idea of where everything's going. I've always been able to check on things when I use a bank card, but cash has been a problem. Now if I find myself wondering where I spent that $20, I can look it up here."
"I have trouble tracking cash, too," I said, "even though I track everything on the computer. If I take out $40 on one weekend, but don't do my finances until the following weekend, I can lose track of things. I just did my finances on Sunday. I got stuck because I'd spent $3.58 in cash someplace I can't remember. Maybe I should keep a notebook, too!"
TJ nodded. "The notebook is also a preliminary step. I've only been doing this for a few weeks. I may decide that I need to do more. Maybe I'll set up a budget. Maybe I'll have to get Quicken."
This is an example of learning to do what works for you. Everyone can find some method that will allow them to track their spending and make corrections if necessary.The cash notebook reminds me a little of Merlin's Hipster PDA. Solutions like this are awesome. They prove that high-tech isn't always the way to go. Often you can improve your life for a buck-ninety-eight.
