Severed Town Serpent Witches: Custom Figure
My most recent custom piece was an absolute joy to create and both myself and the new owner thought she turned out pretty cool.
He gave me a fantastic back story to pull inspiration from, which always makes the task of bringing someone's vision to life much easier.
The story serves as the theme for his home haunt. Here is his tale (posted with permission):
"In the late 1800s, the town of Severed was in financial peril. The once booming mining town was suffering because of one man, Jonathan Miltz, the owner of the mine.
Miltz was a gambler and had lost most of his fortune, forcing him to put his floundering mine up for sale. A day after it was put on the market, twin sisters rode into town, bringing their traveling snake show with them. Apparently the show was very lucrative as they immediately bought the troubled mine, as well as the town theatre so they could set up their show in a permanent location.
The Manjula Sisters reopened the mine and began hiring all the men back who had lost their jobs. Everyone in the town was happy again.
But it was short lived.
Workers at the mine began disappearing and the sisters claimed they knew nothing of their whereabouts. The town's newspaper reporter, Jacob Wheeler, started to dig into the twin's past and what he found was shocking. It turned out the sisters had fled Salem during the witch trials and had come to Canada after being wanted for practicing witchcraft. This was all the townspeople of Severed needed to hear to start their own witch hunt.
The sisters were dragged from the mine where they were hiding and taken to the town square to be burned alive. As the flames rose around them, one of the sisters stood on the other's shoulders, and with her dying breath placed a curse on the town, turning all the women into Serpent Witches. These newly born witches of Severed hunted down the town's men. Once they had disposed of every last man, the curse was lifted.
Or was it?"
My job was to create a figure of one of the women from Severed after she had been afflicted with the curse and transformed into a Serpent Witch. With such a rich back story, I wanted to make sure I gave a nod to elements in the original tale and imagine the history of the woman I was to create. Here is my tale and some additional pictures.
I saw a woman who lived simply, spending her days tending to the small farmhouse she and her husband of 32 years called home. They had settled into a comforting routine: he would leave for work at the mine while she managed the household and plucked fresh vegetables from their modest garden to prepare a meal in time for her husband's return at the end of the day. The two of them would sit together at the table, eating a humble but hearty dinner, sharing details of their day.
But on this night when he returned home, the house was dark. Not a single lantern lit. The hearth was cold, and the stock pot as clean and empty as it had been that morning. Strange, he thought. Perhaps she had been stricken with the illness that was circulating through the town.
He looked to the bedroom and sighed. Poor dear. It was inevitable, he supposed, as the sickness seemed to seek out the women of the town, and he knew many of them visited each other throughout the day to talk or help with a chore while the men were at work.
After creating a modest plate of bread and dried meats, and mindfully hanging his dusty work clothes by the front door (she always chided him for bringing home half the mine on his clothing and dispersing it across her recently scrubbed floor, though she was never cross and ever teasing), he crept quietly into the bedroom.
The room was dark, but in the moonlight he could see the outline of her body beneath the covers. Poor dear, he thought once more, and slipped silently into bed. His last thought as he drifted off was how her fever must be terrible, for he could feel the heat radiating from her body without touching her, and the scent of her sour sweat was strong. Tomorrow he would fetch the doctor.
Some may think it was unlucky that he was such a sound sleeper. I believe it was a blessing. He never had to witness the transformation of his beloved, and see how her peach skin had turned grey. He didn't have to witness the vacant stare as she stood over him as he slept. And he was completely unaware of the glinting blade in the moonlight.
Some say that despite the curse, there was still a trace of the woman inside the witch. She gathered the head of her husband upon which she had gazed so fondly, and the hand she had held so many nights in front of the fire, placing them in the sack she used for collecting vegetables. Stopping only to wrap her shawl around her shoulders, she stumbled out into the night, following the call of some primal force, holding the remains out in front of her as she lurched through the woods to an unknown destination, as if to present them...or perhaps ask unseen witnesses why.

Power Cost Adjustment
What is the Power Cost Adjustment?
Following the recommendations of a rate study by consultants Black and Veatch, the Paducah Electric Plant Board in April 2013 voted to implement new rates which included a Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) that was to be applied to bills beginning in the final quarter of 2013. The PCA, commonly used by electric utilities, rises or falls, based on the fluctuations associated with buying wholesale power. It allows PPS to make sure it collects enough money to pay for the cost of wholesale power without constantly changing our base rates. Paducah Power's PCA is reviewed and adjusted quarterly, based upon power costs in the previous months. It can be "zero", having no effect on customers' bills or it can rise or fall, raising or lowering customers' bills accordingly.
November 1st, 2013, the PCA went from zero to .008125 (.8 cents per kilowatt hour). On February 1st, 2014 it was adjusted to .0359 (3.59 cents per kilowatt hour). On May 1st, 2014, it dropped slightly to .0357 (3.57 cents per kilowatt hour). Most recently, the board recalculated the PCA a month early and dropped it 40% to .0215 (2.15 cents per kilowatt hour) in order to give customers relief as soon as possible.
Why did the PCA increase so much February 1st?
The PCA is tied directly to the performance of the Prairie State Generating Plant which provides us with power. The better it operates, the lower our PCA goes. The plant is still in its shakedown phase. During the autumn months the plant did not perform as well as expected due to mechanical issues that had to be corrected. PPS had to buy power on the open market and still pay the debt service on the portion of the plant that we own, making our power costs considerably higher than we anticipated. The PCA rose to recoup those extra costs. It was not an attempt to price gouge our customers.
What will the PCA be in the coming months?
It depends on the overall performance of the plant's two generating units. Near the end of May 2014 an incident occurred at the Prairie State Generating Plant that caused Unit 2 to be taken offline for repairs. According to Prairie State, while they were taking Unit 2 offline for a scheduled maintenance outage, a water storage tank overflowed resulting in an unexpectedly high release of steam and water that damaged the siding and associated equipment. No workers were injured and no explosion or fire occurred. Neither the boiler nor the turbine generator was damaged. After repairs, Unit 2 resumed operations. The operations were sufficient to allow PPS to drop its PCA by 40% July 1st.
PPS is aggressively working with the other owners of Prairie State to get the plant operating at maximum reliability levels and to bring the PCA down as quickly as possible. Our goal remains the same as it was when we chose to leave TVA and invest in Prairie State-to provide our customers with a secure energy future that is extremely reliable and reasonably priced.

Ask a Dog Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
My 7 year dog broke his hock in December 2013, he was x-rayed the day after Boxing Day and has been in a splint and bandage since then. He has been seen weekly since then, having his bandage changed and each time they have said it is improving but not yet healed which could be due to his age (slower to heal). Two weeks ago the vet put him in the diary for ?x-ray if not healing, when she examined him she was happy with the progress and said she would see him again in 2 weeks and if it had not healed then would definately x-ray the leg again. 1 week later my dog wasn't putting any weight on his leg even though he had been doing so previously, so I took him back to the vet earlier than planned and saw a different vet. When this vet examined my dog's leg she said is wasn't healing at all. This was a Saturday, so she said to bring him back on Monday for x-ray's. By the Monday my dog had gone down hill rapidly. On x-ray they believed there may be an aggressive tumour because the bone was disintegrating. After further investigating it was found he had streptococcous septicemia and basically he nearly died but has managed to pull through. Further x-ray's have shown the bone now looks like it is regenerating due to the antibiotics he is on, but the vet has said she will try saving the leg by surgery but because now the bone may be weakened, the metal plate and repair may not work and there is a possibility his leg may need amputation. My vet fees stand at about £2700 and I have no pet insurance. These fees are from when he went down hill last week. This is without the fees I have already paid since December last year. Also I have got the operation to pay for, possible amputation and physio. By the time its all done I wouldn't be surprised if the final bill is about £6000. I am a midwife and have a basic medical knowledge, obviously not in animals, and I understand how Vet's are going to stick by their colleagues. However, I do feel this injury has not been managed correctly. I know that surgery might have been inevitable, but I feel that if x-ray's had been carried out earlier than last week and the septicemia, possible amputation etc. might have been avoided. What are your views please?
I've been asked by the moderator to address your question about Zac. I'm so sorry that you've had to wait for a response, but if you still need assistance, I'd like to help if I can.
What an incredibly distressing and stressful situation for you both! I can certainly understand why you might be quite upset and frustrated.
If this were my case, I would have suggested x-rays at least 3-4 weeks after the initial examination to evaluate the leg...even if I though that healing was taking place. I would want to evaluate callus formation (evidence of new bone being formed) as well to ensure that no complications were developing such as a non-union or possibly infection.
It is often difficult to differentiate between bone cancer and osteomyelitis (infection of the bone) on an x-ray but clearly when he deteriorated so quickly, the latter woudl be more likely. He's quite fortunate to have sufvived such an overwhelming infection as you know.
In my experience, with most osteomyelitis cases, the dogs will return to normal function although it may take quite some time to do so; there wouldn't be permanent damage. Unfortuantely, in some cases, what's known as a sequestrum can develop which might require surgical intervention although it doesn't in every dog (especially if they aren't lame).
At this point, I wouldn't automatically assume that amputation will be required although this is clearly one possible outcome.
I don't know if you have orthopedic specialists available to you and I do understand how expensive they might be (compared to regular vets) but consult might be something to consider if you've lost faith in the veterinary hospital where you've been taking Zac.
Ortho cases can become quite complicated and discussing a specific case with a specialist (especially if board certified) may be money well spent.
I hope this helps; again, my profuse apologies for the delay in a response to you. Deb

Swedish scientists have created a talking billboard.
Researchers at the Mid Sweden University have revealed an interactive paper billboard that can carry recorded sounds.
The display, only in prototype phase at this stage, uses touch-sensitive conductive inks and printed speakers that play pre-recorded sounds when touched.
The innovative display works with digital paper, embedded with electronics, that sits behind the main image.
When a user touches the paper, the conductive inks send info to a tiny computer that has the recorded files which are then streamed from the paper speakers.
Advertising is one very strong possible area of application for this new science – the prototype display was mocked up as a holiday destination advertisement, people could touch the beach in the picture to hear a brief description.
As well as larger scale billboard advertising the technology could be used in point of sale merchandising in shops, or, if the scientists can scale it down, on product packaging.

Joshua Blake didn't like cops.
He had been arrested dozens of times in his 28 years and was convicted of resisting arrest at age 16. In October 2004, he kicked out two windows of a Washington State Patrol car after being arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, court records show.
He had threatened to kill a law enforcement officer if he was ever arrested again, according to the state Department of Corrections.
Blake also had a mean streak.
His grandmother told a judge in December 2004 she didn't want Blake returning to her house because he was "too violent and dangerous," an opinion shared by his father, court records show.
Before dawn Thursday, trooper Anthony Radulescu bore the brunt of Blake's disdain for law enforcement and penchant for violence.
Authorities said Blake is suspected of shooting the 44-year-old trooper dead during a traffic stop in Kitsap County, sparking a manhunt that ended several hours later with Blake dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A motorcade of police vehicles escorted the body of Radulescu on Thursday from St. Joseph Medical Center to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, where an autopsy was planned.
As is routine, law enforcement officers will stay with their fallen colleague around the clock until he is buried. Funeral arrangements were pending.
What set Blake off was not known late Thursday.
Blake was the registered owner of the Ford F-350 pickup Radulescu stopped about 1 a.m. on state Route 16 near Gorst. It was unclear Thursday why Radulescu pulled Blake over.
The trooper radioed his location to dispatchers, as well as the license plate number of the pickup. When Radulescu didn't respond to status requests a few minutes later, a Kitsap County sheriff's deputy went to the scene and found the mortally wounded trooper on the ground near his car.
He was taken to St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma, where he was pronounced dead.
For hours after the shooting, law enforcement officers from throughout the region searched for the gunman and the truck.
A Bremerton police officer spotted the pickup abandoned on a long, wooded driveway about three miles from the shooting scene, trooper Russ Winger said. Authorities used a police dog to search the area surrounding the truck, but the driver was not found. Troopers told residents to stay inside and call 911 if they saw the gunman.
Shortly after 9 a.m., a tip was relayed to the SWAT team that the owner of the truck could be found at a home near Port Orchard.
"As our SWAT team made their approach, they heard a single gunshot coming from the house," Kitsap County sheriff's Sgt. Ken Dickinson said. "They found a male subject with a single gunshot wound."
Blake was taken to Tacoma General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Theresa Meyers, who lives next to Blake, said the rural property long had been known by neighbors as a place to avoid.
"They have a locked gate with the 'Keep Out' sign," she said. "They have dogs and you hear rifles being fired. When we first moved in, there were people who would come in all day and night to that property, but then there was a drug bust at that property and it slowed down for a while."
A relative of Blake's was emotional when reached by telephone Thursday.
"We're really sorry for the officer and the family," said the woman, who declined to give her name. She also declined to discuss Blake.
Blake, a carpenter by trade, had been doing well and working with his father in the family business, called Blake Enterprise, until his father died last year, said Sean Jeu, who lives next door to Blake.
Blake's arrest record dates to 1998, when as a 14-year-old he was convicted in Kitsap County Superior Court of possessing drug paraphernalia. A litany of criminal offenses followed – drug possession, DUI, theft, domestic-violence assault, malicious mischief.
Authorities said he also once assaulted the mother of one of his children.
He committed most of his crimes in Kitsap County, according to court records, but in 2006 he was arrested in Pierce County and convicted of unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine.
Last year, a friend of Blake contacted the Corrections Department to say he had made threats to harm or kill police if he was ever arrested again.
Staff writers Rob Carson and Adam Lynn, The Seattle Times and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

What's the Latest Development?
Polls show more than 70% support the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, roughly two-thirds oppose the war, and more than half believe it was a mistake. But there is a difference between regretting something and learning from it, writes Gary Younge. And while there is ample evidence of the former, there is little of the latter.
What's the Big Idea?
Few Americans seem to care whether the war is going to end for Iraqis. It's been some time since Iraq featured at all on the nation's priorities, Younge says. "Rightly Americans fret about the fate of veterans returning to a depressed economy with a range of both physical and mental disabilities. But Iraqi civilians barely get a look-in."

nudity reviews for Army of Darkness member submitted
Nude deleted scene
If you turn the brightness up you can see her nipples. It's a short scene and a very dark scene. The deleted scene is available on the new versions of Army of Darkness (director's cut).
Director's cut(96 min.) only--at 0:25, right after she is insulted by Bruce Campbell, he goes after her and kisses her; immediately after, there is a dark scene with her on top of him. Apparently, she is topless, but you can only see the top of
It is not worth a full one star, but it's closer to one than to zero. This is really a bad scene and I'm positive that they edited it out of the Universal release because it was useless to the plot, not because of the nudity.
deleted love scene
This love scene is on the director's cut DVD that was just released, restored along with 15 other minutes that Universal cut out of the film before wide release. This 'nude' scene, even with DVD clarity, is pretty worthless. Baywatch has more visible flesh. If someone caps it and 'cheats' with the brightness there may be something here, but otherwise due to the lit-from-behind silhouette quality of the scene, it's impossible ot make anything out besides vague shapes. I understand another restored scene has a topless extra in the background held captive by the titular army of darkness, but I was unable to watch that far into the movie at my friend's house. Anyone else seen the new scene?
edited love scene
The sci-fi channel version of this film is different from the video release, in that it contains a brief semi-love scene between Embethand the hero backlit by a fireplace. She is naked from the waist up and you can possibly make out her tits as they lie against his chest. The scene fades after a moment of that. It begins after Ash says Give me some sugar, baby or whatever his sexual ctach-phrase was.

Love Kids Foundation is in Nkoranza, Brong Ahafo region, which is in central Ghana, West Africa. At first, as a family, they took in three children from their community who had lost their parents and had no-one willing to care for them. They then discovered that there were many children in the community who were desperately lacking a secure home and parental care: thus Love Kids Foundation and Care Home was born. The area is very picturesque full of exotic trees bearing mangoes and other delicious fruit, dogs that enjoy following you, and locals riding on bicycles. The area where the orphanage is located is very rural, and you will find many beautiful areas.
At the orphanage home, we raise the children with love, respect and care. Our vision is to see these children, seemingly rejected by the world, to have a hope and a future. By bringing orphans into their home, they aim to give them love, education and a bright future which they otherwise would not have. As they are raised in an African country, they are brought up in a traditional Ghanaian way. However, by accepting volunteers worldwide we hope this will help the children to learn about the world they live in and learn about other cultures. At the same time, making some new friends!
The orphan statistics in Ghana are at a staggering 170,000 who alone have become orphans due to HIV/Aids. Many of these children are taken in by extended family and friends, but the remainder must either live on their own or in orphanages. It is a very sad fact that these children must look after themselves, and those blessed enough to be in an orphanage must always deal with the fact that they are no longer with their parents. This is the reason orphanages like Love Kids exist, to give these children a chance to flourish and grow and to have a chance to have a bright future.
Many of the children at Love Kids Orphanage have plans for the future to be doctors, nurses – jobs that will affect the lives of others. The hope they have received, they long to give.

Wasps and hornets, which are often mistaken for each other, can strike fear in homeowners and trigger life-threatening reactions in those who are allergic to stings.
Though they appear similar, wasps and hornets differ in their habits and how they build their nests. Whereas wasps can be incredibly aggressive, most hornets are only hostile towards humans when they feel threatened.
The DC region has many types of wasps and hornets, which may be present from April through October. These include yellow jackets, baldfaced hornets, cicada killers, and ground bees.
Social wasps, which include yellow jackets and baldfaced hornets, have large colonies and build nests for the queen to lay her eggs. These nests are typically found alongside garages, roofs, or inside walls. Solitary wasps, on the other hand, do not form colonies and often build their nests in wood or soft piles of soil.
At Connor's, we use humane common-sense techniques for wasp & hornet control and to prevent future infestations. We begin with an inspection to identify where and how wasps & hornets are entering your building, and then we will remove the pests using humane techniques.
To prevent future infestations, we use exclusion techniques to seal entry ways. We also help identify and secure any potential food sources inside and outside to detract the wasps & hornets from returning. We'll also clean up any mess that the wasps & hornets may leave behind, and clean up and sanitize the infested areas.

Online Learning Center Earns A+ Praise
Friday December 6, 2013 | Filed under: ASI Shows, Community, Education, Guest Blog
Distributor Stephanie Jackson is usually up and out of the house by 5 a.m. six days a week to work out. But on quiet Sunday mornings, this serious athlete has made it a habit to relax, coffee in hand, and take classes in ASI's Online Learning Center.
After taking a few courses and "actually learning important information about the industry and our products, I got even more committed," says Stephanie (at right), who went on to earn her Bachelor of Advertising Specialty Information. What's more, she has the distinction of being the first distributor to complete her certification requirements and pass her final exam on ASI's brand-new Online Learning Center platform.
It's because of dedicated industry pros like Stephanie that I'm so proud of the major upgrade we've made to ASI's education hub. The revamped site, powered by the latest in learning technology, is designed to help distributors, suppliers, decorators and screen printers quickly and easily access more free classes, additional resource tools and new social media sharing.
"The best part of achieving my BASI is the confidence it provides," says Stephanie. "I've been in this industry a little over a year and what I've learned via actual experience, coupled with my ASI Education training, has provided me a firm foundation. I've always been a fan of continuing education, and would wholeheartedly recommend it to both industry newbies and veterans."
Super-motivated Jackson describes the ad specialty industry as a hard business due to online competitors and price wars. But her fun job title – The Inquisitive Marketing Advisor at Signature Services & Promotional Products – reflects her commitment to really listening to her clients and delivering top-notch marketing campaigns for them. "I've won a lot of business that would have gone to an online competitor," she says. "The deciding factor for my new clients was the service I delivered and my quick response to their needs."
To better serve dedicated pros like Stephanie, the ASI Education Team and I focused on creating an entirely new, user-focused learning experience for our members via this upgraded Online Learning Center platform, which features:
- Super-intuitive user interface. A superior user experience is available through a customizable home page with movable widgets, such as an events calendar, RSS feeds and polls.
- Social learning. Post photos and videos, join or start discussion boards and "friend" other learners to view and share material, questions and opinions.
- Added content. Includes ASI research reports, magazine articles and other resources.
- Easy access. Log on with existing ESP Web credentials.
Finally, I'm happy to say that, to date, 1,151 professionals (including Stephanie) have been certified through the ASI Education Certification Program, with nearly 30,000 enrolled in ASI's free Online Learning Center.
Stephanie, who can't wait to receive her BASI pin from ASI President and CEO Timothy M. Andrews at the ASI Show in Orlando, plans to continue taking courses to keep her competitive edge. "I love that I get tested on the material I learn and that there are always new courses being added," she says.
Please login to our new Online Learning Center soon at www.asicentral.com/onlinelearning and experience it for yourself. I welcome your feedback, so drop me a line anytime at firstname.lastname@example.com. Happy learning!
– Nicole Rollender is ASI's executive director of professional development

A green "oasis" four years on
Jason was revisiting the community four years after helping them build their sand dam, which has turned their area into an "oasis".
Becky at the sand dam built in 2012. Sand dams are the most cost-effective method of rainwater harvesting in drylands. They store up to 40 million litres of water.
Becky Little and Jason Maddrell helped to build a sand dam on an Excellent expedition in 2012. They returned to lead the Excellent 2016 expedition and visited the same community four years' on, and were astonished to see how much the area has changed.
"I really didn't know what to expect coming back to Kipico. I walked around the corner and look down and saw how green it was – we couldn't get down here quick enough to see it! The changes are incredible. I'm really overwhelmed."
She added: "I couldn't imagine it to look like this after four years. It's just really heart-warming to know how hard the community has worked – it's so nice to come back here and see all the new crops they've been growing and see it (the sand dam) really is transforming their lives."
"On arriving, this area was unrecognisable... It's so green now! The height of the sand on the other side of the dam has risen so much, storing all that water. It's beautiful. What they've done after the sand dam is magnificent. I couldn't have dreamed it would look like this – it's like an oasis. I'm very happy."
He added: "It's been great seeing the benefits; the communities coming together, not having to walk all that way to look after their livestock, their families, their children, and this is somewhere that brings different communities together as well. I'll keep supporting Excellent Expeditions, and coming back just to see these people smiling, happy and having that opportunity to be able to provide for and support themselves."
Want to learn about, see and be part of the impact of sand dams? Every summer, Excellent Development offers you the opportunity to do just that - by joining our annual sand dam expedition in rural Kenya. If you'd like to find out more contact firstname.lastname@example.com

XDA Forums member the0ne has done this notification system concept for Windows Phones.
This is how it works,
To go to the Notification center, just drag down from any app. That is works even in the lock screen. The Notification center, have pinned apps like weather, Zune or the radio. In the notification tab appear missed phone and skype call, mails and messages, new Facebook and Twitter updates. In the reminders tab appear all from your calendar as meetings, tasks, alarms and others. New toast notifications appear briefly at the top of your screen. Quick toast notifications are used to promote awareness of a new event to the user and request action from the user in an unobtrusive and friendly manner. Users may interact with the toast notifications by tapping on it. The toast will then launch the Notification center, or directly the notifying application.
You can give him feedback over this concept here. Even though Microsoft's intention is to not create a notification center( they call it as Junk drawer), its interesting to see new concepts from designers.

D.O. feels Siwan is a better actor than he is
EXO's heartthrob D.O. is so modest when it comes to his acting. During recent promotions for his upcoming movie Pure Love, the 23-year-old idol's acting skills was compared to fellow idol ZE:A's Im Siwan. In response, the EXO Next Door star quickly admitted that he feels his acting isn't even on the same scale with the 27-year-old's superior talent.
The "Love Me Right" had this to say in a new interview: "Im Siwan is not someone I have the right to be compared to. Im Siwan is more talented at acting than I am."
He explained that he is a fan of Im too. "I saw the drama Misaeng and the movie The Attorney, and I was really surprised just how well he acts. I plan on seeing Thinking of My Older Brother as well, which is currently playing in theaters."
D.O. concluded with additional praise for his senior in the industry. "I am thankful to be even compared to him. There are these general stereotypes given to idols who act. However, I feel like Im Siwan has shown that these stereotypes aren't necessarily true. I also wish to help in breaking such prejudices."
Pure Love, which releases in theaters in South Korea on February 24, is the story of first love and friendships being recounted thorough a old letter a DJ receives during a live broadcast. Kim So Hyun, Yun Joon Suk, Lee David, and Joo Da Young also star in the romantic film.
D.O. is such a sweetheart! The first time I saw him act was in EXO Next Door. I was really rooting for him to win the girl. He portrayed the nice guy role very well. I'd say they are probably both great at what they do. There is no need to compare because they are different people with their own special traits.
What do you think about the D.O./ Siwan comparison?

Transcript of South China Morning Post interview with Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida
Related topics
Q: What measures is Japan taking to relieve the diplomatic and military tensions between the two countries? In return, what gestures would you like to see from China?
A: It indeed serves no-one's interest – neither Japan's nor China's interest – nor the interest of any other "relevant country" to have an accidental incident between the two countries. Therefore, I believe it is necessary to reduce unnecessary misunderstanding and friction, and it is also important to conduct a candid exchange of views to build mutual understanding and trust between the two countries. To avoid unintended contingencies, we believe that during Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's first term of administration, at the Japan-China summit we agreed in principle to establish a communication mechanism of defence between the two countries, to be more precise, Japan and China's maritime defence communication mechanism. This is the concrete response we are making. But unfortunately, the Chinese side has not agreed to its implementation yet. We would like to approach the Chinese side so that they would agree to early implementation of this mechanism. Although the Japan-China relationship is in a difficult stage right now, it is important we must continue our candid exchange of views, so that various dialogues such as the maritime communication mechanism would lead to high-level political dialogue between the two countries. I hope that the Chinese side will respond from the same perspective to our call for dialogue.
Q: What are your most optimistic and most pessimistic estimates of how China-Japan relations will develop this year?
A: First of all, the bilateral relationship between the two countries is one of the most important bilateral relationships we have. China's peaceful development is a great benefit and an opportunity, not only for Japan but the entire region and the international community. In view of Japan and China, we share important responsibilities for the peace and stability of the region and the international community, and relations are closer and more mutually dependent on each other than ever before. For example, China is Japan's largest trading partner. Also, if you look at the number of Japanese companies operating in China, it is No 1 compared to other foreign companies operating in China. If you look at human exchanges, over five million people visit each other's country every year. As well as exchange students, there are active exchanges between local cities between the two countries. As for your question about the most optimistic and most pessimistic scenarios [I could foresee], I feel it is inappropriate as Japan's foreign minister to comment on the concrete scenarios of future relationships. As I mentioned earlier, the Japan-China relationship is one of the most important relationships we have. The relationship is very deep indeed and my job as foreign minister is to make progress on this relationship as far as possible. Therefore, I believe I want to make progress from a broad perspective to advance this mutually beneficial relationship based upon the common strategic interests between the two countries.
Q: There are suggestions among analysts in China and elsewhere that both Chinese and Japanese leaders should learn from Deng Xiaoping and Japanese leaders of his time who made the wise decision of setting aside the controversial issues and move forward [to forge] closer ties. On what occasions do you think a dialogue between China and Japan will be made possible? Have you seen any sign of willingness from China to improve ties?
A: Japan and China normalised relationship with a 1972 joint communiqué and also signed a treaty of peace and friendship in 1978. In 1998, we released a document called Japan-China Joint Declaration on building a partnership of co-operation for peace and development and in 2008, a joint statement between China and Japan on the comprehensive promotion of a mutually beneficial relationship based on common strategic interests was released. As the government of Japan, we attached high importance to these four documents and we have developed our relations in various areas – including political, economic, cultural – based on the spirit and policy described in these four documents. Taking account of the policy and philosophy described in these four basic documents, we would like to make an effort to advance our relationship with China based upon strategic interests, so that individual issues could not affect overall bilateral relationships between the two countries. What we will be important for us to do from now on is to continue dialogue at various levels, deepen co-operation in a number of practical areas so as to ultimately lead to high-level political dialogue between the two countries. Regarding your question on whether China has shown any sign responding to our gestures, I believe that there are various dialogues between the two countries involving working-level co-operation and exchanges involving the private sector. We would like to continue to build on this co-operation and ... would also like to ask the Chinese to respond to our call for high-level political dialogue.
Q: How do you perceive the role of the United States in helping stabilise the situation in the region?
A: First of all, Japan-US alliance is the foundation of our diplomacy and also it is important for the peace and stability of the Asia-pacific region. To have a stable Japan-China relationship serves the interests of not only the United States but for the whole Asia-pacific region. For the region's peace and stability, the United States' role is vital. I recently visited the United States and met the Secretary of State John Kerry to discuss various issues on the Asia-pacific region. Japan will continue to solidify the Japan-US alliance and also with China, we would like to promote mutually beneficial relationship based upon common strategic interests from a broad perspective so that we will contribute to the Asia-pacific region's peace and stability.
Q: Would Prime Minister Abe ever be willing to give up future visits to the Yasukuni Shrine in exchange for good will gestures from China and South Korea? What would it take for Abe to make such a decision?
A: In the Yasukuni Shrine, the shrine houses the souls of 2.47 million people who made the ultimate sacrifice fighting for their country since 1853 – including the Meiji Restoration of 1868. Not only the souls of those who have lost lives in the second world war, but also those who lost their lives in world war one and other domestic struggles and battles. Those people are enshrined without any differentiation of class or gender. After the visit, Prime Minister Abe released a statement explaining the intent of his visit. In his statement, he expressed respect – as a leader of any country would – for those people who have made the ultimate sacrifice fighting for their country, and made a pledge never to wage a war again. This is the prime minister's every intention and his views are expressed in that statement. As for Prime Minister Abe himself, he has not said a word if he would visit the Yasukuni Shrine in the future or not. As for myself as foreign minister, my job is to explain the prime minister's views and thoughts on his visit expressed in the statement. One thing I would like to stress is that amid all this, Japan's diplomatic policy and recognition of history have not changed at all. Japan after the war has consistently protected freedom, democracy and the rule of law, and has made concrete contributions to peace and stability in the region. We should continue to explain clearly that Japan's past as a peace loving nation would not change in the future. With regard to relationship with China and the Republic of Korea, I believe it is important to develop future-oriented co-operative relationship and I would like to continue to do so. I would like to continue to explain this issue so that this it does not become a political or diplomatic issue.
Q: The Apec leaders' meeting is coming up in Beijing. Do you have any plan to meet with your counterpart Wang Yi in Beijing?
A: At this point, I have no plans to schedule such a meeting. Even if difficult individual issues exist between the two countries, it is always important to have candid exchange of views between the two countries. If an opportunity arises, I would like to meet with Foreign Minister Wang Yi and other officials to speak to them directly and exchange views with them. I hope the Chinese side will respond in the same manner. It is also important that there should be no preconditions to the dialogue between the two sides and even if we specific issues, we should meet and speak frankly. I believe that is important for building trust between the two sides, too.

University of Pittsburgh study suggests that standard anti-inflammatory therapy may not be appropriate for many interstitial lung disease patients
PITTSBURGH, January 11, 2006 – In an article in the Jan. 15 issue of the American Journal of Respiratory Critical Care Medicine, University of Pittsburgh researchers report that a serious, life-threatening form of pulmonary fibrosis, called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, lacks all the hallmarks of inflammation and is probably unnecessarily treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. Moreover, in a related study, the investigators identified a protein found in excess amounts in the lung tissue of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which may be a more appropriate target for therapy.Interstitial lung disease describes a diverse set of chronic lung conditions that often have strikingly similar symptoms but different clinical courses. However, all are characterized by differing degrees of progressive scarring of lung tissue between the air sacs, or the interstitium. With repeated damage, the interstitium becomes thickened and stiff, or fibrotic, making it increasingly difficult for the individual to breathe. Some forms of interstitial lung disease, particularly idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which has no known cause, have a very high death rate due to respiratory failure. Effective treatment, however, is complicated by the fact that a definitive diagnosis often requires a lung biopsy."Unfortunately, many patients do not receive lung biopsies. As a result, about one-third of patients who come to our clinic have previously been misdiagnosed, and many have been treated with the wrong medications," explained James Dauber, M.D., medical director of the University of Pittsburgh's Dorothy P. & Richard P. Simmons Center for Interstitial Lung Disease, and professor of medicine, division of pulmonary, allergy and critical care medicine .To improve the diagnosis and treatment of interstitial lung diseases, Naftali Kaminski, M.D., director of the Simmons Center and associate professor of pathology and human genetics, Dr. Dauber, and their coworkers decided to test the effectiveness of DNA microarray chip technology in distinguishing between the gene expression patterns of several types of interstitial lung diseases. Because it can be difficult to obtain lung biopsy samples for some types of interstitial lung disease, the Simmons Center investigators collaborated with researchers in Mexico to obtain samples for another type of pulmonary fibrosis known as hypersensitivity pneumonitis - a pneumonia-like inflammation of the lungs caused by the body's immune reaction to small air-borne particles that is more prevalent in countries such as Mexico where pet birds are common.Drs. Dauber, Kaminski and their collaborators obtained lung biopsy samples from 15 patients diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; 12 patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis; and eight patients with a third, less-understood type, known as nonspecific interstitial pneumonia. The latter is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis that occurs suddenly and progresses rapidly over a relatively short period of time.When the investigators analyzed the gene expression patterns of the samples using a DNA microarray chip containing sequences for approximately 46,000 known gene clusters—which represent most of the genes in the human genome—the results were startling. Although all of the patients from whom the samples were taken had similar X-ray and laboratory test results, their gene expression patterns were radically different. Indeed, the investigators found that the hypersensitivity pneumonitis samples showed significantly increased expression of genes associated with inflammation, immune cell activation and immune response. In contrast, there was almost no genetic evidence of inflammation in the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis samples."Our results show that interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and hypersensitivity pneumonitis, which clinically often look quite similar, are really two vastly different conditions," said Dr. Kaminski. "Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by the increased expression of genes involved in the re-growth of lung tissue. So, it is not really an inflammatory condition per se. On the other hand, hypersensitivity pneumonitis does exhibit all of the hallmarks of inflammation, with increased expression of genes that control T-cell activation and immune responses."Another surprising finding came when the investigators compared these gene expression patterns to those exhibited by biopsies from the eight patients diagnosed with nonspecific interstitial pneumonia. Two of the eight cases exhibited interstitial pulmonary fibrosis-like gene expression patterns, one closely resembled the gene expression pattern of hypersensitivity pneumonitis, while the other five expression patterns resembled neither. Thus, the investigators were able to reclassify some of the cases of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia using this technology.In an accompanying editorial, Victor J. Thannickal, M.D., of the University of Michigan and Athol U. Wells, M.D., of the Royal Brompton Hospital in London wrote that although "further studies with greater numbers of patients are required," these genetic signatures "provide important clues to the observed differences in clinical course, prognosis and responses to therapy in these two disease processes."If these findings hold up in larger studies—and Dr. Kaminski is strongly convinced that they will—the diagnosis and management of interstitial lung disease may radically change. In particular, patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, who are commonly prescribed a course of corticosteroids or other anti-inflammatory drugs as the first line of treatment, will not be subjected to such unwarranted and potentially harmful approaches."Until now, the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has been primarily focused on its inflammatory component. However, our findings indicate that lung tissue from these patients does not exhibit a typical inflammatory pattern. So, these patients need to be managed in an entirely new way," said Dr. Kaminski.Although there currently is no effective treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, results of another study suggest help may soon be on the way. Dr. Kaminski and his colleagues reported in the Sept. 6 online edition of PLoS Medicine that idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis lung tissue samples display an "over-abundance" of a protein known as osteopontin, which other studies have implicated in the growth and progression of tumors. In further examining the potential role of osteopontin in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, Dr. Kaminski's group found that it directly increases the proliferation and movement of fibroblasts, cells centrally involved in lung fibrosis."Taken together, these findings are very exciting, because we now have a basis for designing drugs that are specifically directed against osteopontin. By manipulating osteopontin levels, we may be able to slow or stop the course of this deadly disease. In addition, the level of osteopontin may be used as a diagnostic marker for this disease," explained Dr. Kaminski. He added that his group is currently investigating whether measuring the expression patterns of osteopontin and other genes can predict disease progression and outcome.In addition to Drs. Kaminski and Dauber, other investigators involved in this research include Kevin Gibson, M.D., Thomas Richards, Ph.D., and Samuel Yousem, M.D., from the University of Pittsburgh; Moises Selman, M.D., Lourdes Barrera, Msc., and Andrea Estrada, M.D., of the Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias in Tlalpan, Mexico; Annie Pardo, Ph.D., of the Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad National Autonoma de Mexico, Mexico City.

Cryptzone Addresses Changing Cybersecurity Threats
September 3, 2015
Former FBI Special Agent in Charge Leads Cybersecurity Discussion Series Across North America and Europe
Waltham, MA—Sept. 3, 2015—Cryptzone, a provider of dynamic, context-aware network, application and content security solutions, today announced its 'Let's Talk Cybersecurity Seminar Series' multi city tour, where the company's CSO, Leo Taddeo and former FBI agent in the Special Operations/Cyber Division and invited guests will discuss the changing landscape of cybersecurity, how cyberattacks have increased and evolved to include organized crime, technical hackers, hacktivists, terrorists and nation-states - penetrating crumbling perimeter defenses. He'll take a close look at the evolution of network security and how companies like Google are changing how they address access, as well as how to combat threats from the outside and within.
"Organizations are recognizing that they need to fundamentally re-architect their security infrastructure, and are eager to discuss with their peers and industry experts the best practices for doing so," said Kurt A. Mueffelmann, President and CEO of Cryptzone. "With the addition of experts like Leo Taddeo, our new CSO and former FBI agent in the Special Operations/Cyber Division, Cryptzone is excited to provide thought-provoking dialogue to help solve the problems that exist today, and help enterprises plan for what's coming tomorrow."
Cryptzone's leadership team will travel to Boston (Sept. 10), Toronto (Sept. 16), Chicago (Sept. 17) and New York City (Oct. 1), Dallas (Oct. 20), Washington, DC (Oct. 22) and London (Nov. 13) to lead a day of security discussions in each city. Spaces are limited and RSVP is required https://www.cryptzone.com/lets-talk-security-seminar-series-2015.
Leo Taddeo, Chief Security Officer (CSO), Cryptzone and former Special Agent in Charge of the Special Operations/Cyber Division of the FBI's New York Office, will lead the discussions. His expertise and past experience speaking to audiences of all expert levels, including shows such as American Bankers Association Securities Association (ABASA) Board of Directors Meeting, International Conference on Cyber Security at Fordham and Association of Bioscience Financial Officers allows for him to draw upon a broad industry perspective to cyber security.
Prior to joining Cryptzone, Taddeo led more than 400 agents and professional support staff in cyber investigations, surveillance operations, information technology support and crisis management for the FBI. He oversaw high profile cases, including Silk Road, Blackshades and JP Morgan.
Cryptzone's solutions begin by protecting at the network level to determine access to applications and services and provide an additional layer of security to control what authorized users can and can't do with content. The portfolio includes AppGate®, a dynamic, context aware security gateway that prevents unauthorized access; HiSoftware Security Sheriff® an integrated classification, encryption and content protection solution for SharePoint®, Office 365 and File Shares; Simple Encryption PlatformTM, which secures data in email, removable storage, files and folders; and Compliance Sheriff TM, which provides content governance for public websites, intranets and extranets.

My name is Kelly Ashenfelter and I am excited to be starting my 4th year at Jenny Lind! I was raised by my mom and grandma in south Minneapolis, went to Annunciation School k-8, Washburn High School 9-12, (Class of 2001!!) and University of Minnesota, Mankato. After I graduated I moved to Las Vegas where I taught 3rd for 2 years and also earned my Masters of Art in Education, curriculum and instruction. I was happy to return to Minneapolis in 2009, with a short stint teaching middle school, I soon found my home at Jenny Lind!
I married my husband Tom in June of 2013, and this summer we went on an amazing honeymoon to the Mediterranean! This summer I also took my nieces to Mt. Rushmore and enjoyed spending sunny days on the lake with friends. It has been a great summer.
I feel so lucky to teach what I consider the "very best" grade. Third graders are AWESOME! So much excitement, curiosity, and desire to learn. I love making my lessons come alive and seeing kids fully engaged in learning. I also get to work with a great group of teachers. Together we are here at Jenny Lind to support students in academic, social, and emotion success. Here's to a great year!

The hot brunette lady in the video has a big appetite for dirty activities. You can notice that from the lascivious way she keeps fingering her horny cunt in front of the camera. The atmosphere gets more intense, as the bitch wearing kinky red fishnet stockings, shows her ass and gets fucked from behind.

text: Just a week before my 32nd birthday, my wife Stacey wanted to go on a vacation abroad somewhere to celebrate and to satisfy a travel itch. We talked before of Italy to follow our England Trip just a year or two after but a few life changes caused that plan to not really take place when planned. Once we were able to do another journey Italy was strongly considered as was Iceland but then the question was asked "where would you like to go?". For me, being a beer nerd over the last few years, Belgium always had an appeal to me. It's where some of my favorite beer is imported from, it has a lot of history, and it just sounded fun. We originally planned 4 days and 3 nights in Belgium visiting Brussels, Bruges and Ghent and then we would fly up to Copenhagen to visit a friend and spend 2 days there prior to coming home. Unfortunately, just merely a day after we landed in Brussels, a terrorist attack carried out by ISIS bombed the very same airport halls and train we rode on less than 24 hours after we safely left to visit Bruges. We were lucky to avoid such a fate. It's something that definitely altered our plans, and sort of hung over constantly the entire time. We ended up visiting places (and countries) that were not planned at all but in an ultimate "making lemonade outta lemons" scenario we went with where the wind (or more accurately airline plans) took us and had quite the adventure as a result Here's my journal for our Belgium (mostly) trip.
