TEHRAN, July 4 (Xinhua) -- The Aerospace Commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said Iran plans to test-fire new "supersonic surface-to- sea missiles" as part of its war games in the Persian Gulf in the coming days, the English language satellite Press TV reported on Monday.
Hajizadeh said that the new missiles have been designed to target ships and forces at sea, said the report.
"Last year, we achieved (the technology of) new anti-ship missiles that can hit targets with multiple speed of sound," he was quoted as saying.
The upgraded missiles will soon be used in the naval phase of the IRGC's ongoing Great Prophet 6 missile drills.
The senior naval commander of the IRGC, Brigadier General Ali Razmjou, said Sunday that his forces are equipped with modern short and medium range missiles in the Persian Gulf.
Razmjou said "a considerable number of speed vessels, and vessels that can carry different kinds of missile and torpedo launchers have joined the IRGC's Navy."
Supplying the IRGC forces with advanced equipment was aimed at increasing "Iran's defensive and deterrence power" in order to " maintain the stable security of the strategic area of the Persian Gulf," Razmjou was quoted as saying by Press TV.
"The powerful presence of the IRGC in the Persian Gulf, including its speed vessels and missile stations on the isles and shores has caused the foreign naval fleets to change their routes and travel towards the south of the Persian Gulf," he said according to the report.
IRGC announced on Saturday that it will stage missile drills in the southern waters of the country in the following days.
The Islamic Republic began the 10-day missile drills on Monday. On the first day of the exercises, Iran unveiled underground missile silos and fired Fateh-110 missile.
Iran announced on Tuesday that it "successfully" test-fired 14 short, medium and long-range missiles on the second day of the missile drills.
On Wednesday, aerospace commander of IRGC Amir Ali Hajizadeh said that the country has launched a radar system which can detect cruise and ballistic missiles.

Once in a very great while.....
Concert review of The Choral Project and the Canadian Brass: or, "How to make classical music sound amazing, beautiful, joyful, and FUN, all at the same time"
Once in a very great while, one attends a concert that immediately jumps to some imaginary, personal list of "Top Ten all-time best concert programs", and for many audience members of the packed, sold-out house in downtown San Jose's gorgeous Basilica of St Joseph on January 28, this was definitely one of those programs-
performances! The ever-popular Canadian Brass were absolutely amazing in terms of musicality, inventiveness, technical prowess, choreography, charisma, programming, tone quality, ensemble precision, dynamics, tone colors, personality, and complete command of their artistry and audience - but another, equally amazing thing about Tuesday night's concert was that in each of those categories, they in
way eclipsed or outshone their hosts and partner performers, The Choral Project of San Jose. (If you haven't yet heard of this incredible group, check out their international tours and accolades at
The Choral Project of San Jose was founded in 1996 by a multi-talented young musician and SJSU graduate, Daniel D. Hughes. They have gone from strength to strength, winning international choral competitions, numerous awards, grants, development funding, and constantly stellar reviews for their recordings, performances, and inventive programming – all completely deserved. At Tuesday night's concert I happened to sit next to a retired SJSU music theory/composition professor who told me that already as a freshman and sophomore, young student Daniel (who began studying both piano and composition at age four) was naturally way ahead of his classmates, so the professor tried to keep him challenged with full orchestral-score sightreading tasks instead of the normal class assignments.
Daniel discovered his career aspiration under yet another SJSU professor-emeritus who became his mentor, the famed choral conductor Dr. Charlene Archibeque. Fittingly, one of the major works on Tuesday's program was the world premiere of a piece composed by Daniel Hughes in her honor – called "Legacy", it was a moving, hauntingly beautiful work combining The Choral Project with the Canadian Brass.
Mr Hughes composed both the text and music of "Legacy" after seeing a television documentary about the life cycle of stars and "super-novas" that burn their brightest just before disintegrating into particles which in turn produce future generations of matter and life. Mr Hughes likened this to great mentors, artists and inspirational figures who share, teach and give of their gifts intensely, using their life energy and work to inspire the next generations. The quiet choral opening was gorgeous and kind of "spooky", seeming to evoke the birth of the cosmos in sound. The climax of the piece featured three sopranos singing in very high tones with full volume, depicting the burning intensity and explosion...followed by eerie floating "space" when all of the instrumental accompaniment suddenly dropped away and the perfectly balanced choral parts were left quietly suspended, floating upwards in mid-air like a glider over a mountain's edge….. creating, for the listeners, the unmistakable sensation that we were soaring in space like a slow-motion Star Trek on a particle of sound. All done with actual voices and acoustic instruments - no digital dials, or synthesized sounds so commonly used today to create similar (but not as soul-touching) results - it was rather amazing! (As was the huge standing ovation that the piece received, in the middle of the concert program). Kudos to Daniel Hughes for creating an audience-accessible modern composition for brass and choral ensemble with inspiring lyrics and evocative harmonies.
But Mr Huges also employs many other remarkable gifts in the service of The Choral Project concerts, and two of those gifts, especially, come to mind each time I think of Tuesday's program:
1. He has an ear for the sound quality and blend of singers that is truly exceptional. Before attending this concert I had read numerous reviews of Mr Hughes that all commented on his uncanny ability to draw a highly professional vocal production and gorgeous blend of tones from even the most amateur and untrained singers. Having now heard this performance, all I can do is add my complete agreement to those comments. I would love to sit in on a rehearsal when they are learning new repertoire, to see if I can figure out what his secret is for inspiring such love, dedicated work, and – most importantly, I suspect – habits of refined
(to each other), amongst his large and constantly growing 'family' of singers in The Choral Project.
2. It is also saying something that his musical inspiration and quality results do attract many professional musicians who want to come sing with the group as well, in their spare time. But for the most part the 50+ singers are amateurs, although you would never have known it when hearing this concert. The blend of sopranos and altos sounded gentle and effortless, and the men, particularly in their close-harmony singing in several pieces, could honestly rival the Chanticleers or other male groups in their tone quality, pitch and seamlessness. In particular, all four vocal sections of The Choral Project gave the most beautiful performance of Franz Biebl's
Ave Maria
that one could ever imagine.
In addition to the tonal blend, beauty and unity of attack that Mr Hughes obviously delights in producing from his singers, he must also enjoy using his highly creative mind to invent unique combinations of pieces that result in truly unusual and entertaining concert programs. Any concert producer should check out The Choral Project's archive of past seasons and read the titles/themes of previous concerts over the years, or even just peruse the future ones for this current season, to get a feel for his creativity and insight – but also for his commitment to engaging and entertaining as diverse an audience as possible.
The Choral Project has also developed many successful collaborations with other artists and organizations, and I suspect that Tuesday evening's first concert with the Canadian Brass ensemble will not be their last together. Each of the two groups had a chance to shine in 'solo' sections of the program, alternating with an unexpected variety of pieces that they performed together, including the "Legacy" work that Mr Hughes composed for the occasion.
he concert also opened in a surprise fashion, with the Canadian Brass members (Christopher Coletti, trumpet, Caleb Hudson, trumpet, Bernhard Scully, horn, Achilles Liarmakopoulos, trombone, and Chuck Daellenbach, the only remaining founder of the group, on tuba but also acting as a wonderfully hilarious MC) all playing in slow Gospel/Dixie style as they marched in, single file, from the back of the audience, wearing white sneakers and an immediate charisma. They performed, throughout the evening, in a range of pieces and styles that almost gave the audience a mini-history of brass quintet repertoire as it progressed from 1500s through 2014. Their combined technical skills, articulation, ensemble, excellent arrangements, and tone quality all brought out the absolute best in each piece, but even more than that, their charming personalities, interaction with the audience, and clever choreography, using every inch of their 'stage' space, made the concert incredibly FUN.
Throughout their combined works with The Choral Project, The Canadian Brass beautifully provided all of the harmony and instrumental accompaniment needed, and the program also featured locally-based professionals providing well-balanced, subtly nuanced percussion and piano...But shame on the venue organizers for providing a horribly out of tune grand piano for any concert, let alone one involving such international performers – this concert was scheduled months in advance and there is
excuse for not automatically having the piano tuned before such an important event – this should be an assumed step for
churches or venues that want to host concerts, especially when/if they are receiving some of the ticket revenue.
As a venue itself, the Basilica of St Joseph in downtown San Jose is an architectural and acoustic marvel with a round dome area in the center that offers heaven-sent potential for singers or brass players, in particular. Each of the Canadian Brass members had spectacular solos, of course, but part of the added enjoyment for the audience was watching each performer "bathe", and revel in, the sound quality and luxurious "reverb time" that standing under this dome area could produce.
The performers (both The Choral Project and the Canadian Brass) all had a ball, and it showed. Six standing ovations at the concert, countless shouts of audience approval after each piece – but none of that even adequately reflects the fun and the sheer joy that they shared and created with classical music. I suddenly recalled a quote that one of my piano performance mentors had scribbled to me on a slip of paper before my first concerto performance: "Play for the joy of playing, and touch heaven with your gift". I am sure that they did.

"Unlikely leaders", unite....
On this date - May 30th - in 1431, a young girl named
Joan of Arc
(or Jeanne d'Arc) was burned at the stake for being a heretic and revolutionary of sorts, after devoting her energy and passion in a courageous commitment to defend her people and culture against British invaders who were robbing her countrymen of their livestock and livelihoods. She was a very unlikely leader because she was poor, female and powerless in the eyes of the world that she knew - and yet, her own passion inspired all people to realize the oppression they were living under, and "armies" of people followed her lead and changed the culture for future generations in France.
Joan of Arc (
image from Wikipedia
I have always felt that Jeanne d'Arc is a great "role model" or "mascot" for all of our Listen for Life team members who share a passionate commitment to 1) defending the equal opportunity and presence of
nourishing music genres and styles on our global media channels/formats and 2) preserving music cultures by helping the music masters who have given their lives to a study of their traditions/instruments, but now struggle to support their families and villages.
Listen for Life
is not a powerful media corporation and we are simply a global family of music listeners, performers, educators, and producers, working together to encourage people in all countries to be aware of the present situation in global music production, vs the inspiring music choices they could be making to enrich their lives......We are a global non-profit supported by donors and the work of volunteers - yet, we have so far managed to impact over 10 million individual lives of music listeners in 55 countries through our outreach projects, educational products, live cross-cultural programs, and unique music-media productions (400 hours of them and counting, to be exact.....)...
We hope Joan of Arc would be proud. And we invite all of you to join our "
Global Band of Musicians
" - to inspire musicians to give of their highest potential and encourage listeners to change the channel - wher
they are.

Music....it's all about listening....
Arrived in Boston this week and have already been blest by great weather (expectations aside) and an exciting concert experience: 17 year old pianist George Li (who is rapidly assuming superstar status nationwide
abroad) performed the Schumann Piano Concerto with the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra under its renowned conductor, educator, author and motivational speaker, Benjamin Zander.
It was gratifying that a young pianist with such "technique to burn" would choose to perform a less "flashy" and more poetic work like the Schumann. Mr Li, a recent winner of the Young Concerts Artists prize definitely does possess a maturity of approach and performance well beyond his years. His interpretation of the Schumann was placed strongly on the more straightforward, masculine end of the spectrum for this popular work. There were times I wished for more variety in his use of tone colors or phrase shapes/destinations, and I hope that in time he will become more sensitive to the nuances of harmonic colors or key changes, and their role in defining what makes any individual piece of music unique. But having said all of that, Mr. Li's performance of the first movement cadenza was possibly the best I have ever heard.
His humility (during numerous bows before a hometown crowd in a standing ovation) was gratifying to observe, and his performance of a slow, poetic Chopin encore was absolutely spellbinding and masterful. It had all of the tone colors and nuances that I had wished to hear a bit more of in the Schumann, so perhaps this confirms that his (or his teacher's) view of the Schumann is more "classical" than "romantic" and he perhaps chose deliberately a rather Bach-like robustness. This school of thought definitely exists, but having performed the work myself around the world and coached it in masterclasses of maybe 14 or so music conservatories, my own personal belief is that without a more sensitive alternation of gentleness, light and phrase destinations, the Schumann concerto can get very repetitive in some passages despite its greatness.
For the second half of the ambitious (and long!!!) three hour program, the BPYO was joined by assembled choirs and two internationally known vocal soloists, to perform Mahler's Symphony No2, "The Resurrection".
I was surprised by several things. First of all, the choice of soloists. To quote the BYPO's own program notes by David St George: "Mahler specifically stipulated that the singer of this song ["Urlicht"] use "the tone and vocal expression of a child who thinks he is in heaven". There was nothing inherently wrong with the vocal soloist(s) but those booked for this performance had very heavy vibratos and very "angst" ridden emotional portrayals that most definitely did not sound either childlike or heavenlike. So it simply seemed an odd choice of soloists if one wanted to follow Mahler's wishes.
The second surprise was the program itself - combining a very long Mahler symphony (which can often suffice as a complete concert program all in its own right) with a relatively long piano concerto.
Youth orchestras don't often play complete Mahler Symphonies, but
not immediately following a performance of the orchestral parts of the Schumann Piano Concerto - which the BYPO players did to a very high standard indeed. So it was astounding that they had the physical stamina, let alone the mental or musical concentration, to continue with this lengthy and powerful Mahler symphony. The results were (rather understandably) uneven, but there many great moments, as well - and I kept thinking how fortunate these young talented players were, to have this perhaps life-changing experience of learning and performing the Mahler 2nd, live, at such a young age.
And for the audience members as well - judging from mistimed applause that interrupted or rattled the young performers at times, it seemed that for a fair proportion of the audience of relatives and friends, this was perhaps also
first time experiencing this monumental work. So it was exciting to be there in the midst of it all, like witnessing a child's first taste of ice cream or an adult's first sight of the ocean. A young woman (maybe 19 or 20?) next to me was fidgeting constantly, flipping the pages of her program instead of reading it, while her boyfriend (?) next to her was totally rapt and obviously knew players on the stage - one could see him sort of vacillating between feeling sorry for his bored companion, or feeling regret for bringing her if she couldn't share his enthusiasm, or wishing he could find a way to help this powerful work to enter and engage her spirit. The Mahler 2nd has an undeniable power that sweeps all audiences to their feet, and this performance, especially by such young and exhausted players, was (almost) no exception.....with the one hold-out being that same young female next to me. She had the honesty to remain seated as a testimony to her bewilderment or boredom or dislike or all of the above. And I am sure Mahler would have approved of that honesty too.
An internationally known musician sat to my left, and
first comment afterwards was how much she would dearly love to create some serious cuts/edits in the Mahler 2nd, saying that orchestral musicians often discuss how amenable this particular work
for finding some relatively easy cuts without damaging the power or the overall message, due to its harmonic structure and repeated thematic segments. (Takers, anyone? ) Shortening the work would obviously make it less taxing to perform, whether by youth or experienced professionals. But the BYPO musicians did a very creditable job technically, with special kudos going to the cellos, the concert mistress, and the confident brass, horns, and woodwinds.
The main surprise we (the musician to my left and I) had both noticed was that none of the players seemed to be trained to focus on listening to each other as an absolute first priority of being an orchestral musician. Each section played its solo or part in its own rhythm and mood without any apparent understanding of how it fit into the whole or how it then dovetailed or answered a previous phrase played by another section. It could be that this was simply a symptom of the number of rehearsals a massive work like the Mahler would have required, and they needed to focus on technical and ensemble issues in the weeks that they had till performance day. One could tell that they all loved and trusted their conductor Maestro Zander to be the chef, take their individually prepared ingredients, and then produce the completed cake. But the BYPO is a
youth orchestra and it can only get
, so one shares this suggestion in a positive way - listening to each other is a habit built in the first moments of the first rehearsal of any new work, whether easy or difficult, and it has to be insisted on and demanded by all beloved conductors. Training orchestras that succeed most in this one specific aspect - like the Shepherd School of Music orchestra at Rice under Larry Rachleff - are renowned for producing the top orchestral players of the next generation and the most riveting, "together" performances of any piece, by
age of players.
But back to the concert at hand - the gorgeous, elegant ambiance of Boston's Symphony Hall added to the "special-ness" of the occasion, and it is difficult to say whether the principal star was the pianist George Li or the courageous and generous players of this technically excellent orchestra in such a challenging program. The packed hall was full of truly ecstatic and inspired music listeners, and I heard several different audience members commenting as they departed that it was the best concert of the BYPO - and indeed of any they had attended anywhere - in a very long time. In retrospect, it is really all about listening....the players listening to each other, audience members listening to something for the first time, a young but mature piano soloist inviting us to listen to every note as if it was a word.....music is special that way...and it's all about listening for the life and the message that lies within.

Being Present at the Creation - Part 1
Listen for Life Executive Director Andy Anderson and I are currently in Los Angeles for a series of tightly scheduled meetings, but yesterday we had the tremendous honor of being invited to attend a special Disney Concert Hall rehearsal of Gustavo Dudamel conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Los Angeles Master Chorale, excellent vocal soloists, and some unbelievably strong dancers, as they developed together (under the brilliant creative direction of the renowned Peter Sellars) a new "theatrically enhanced" version of composer John Adam's latest opera work, "The Gospel According to the Other Mary".
We were attending with the very creative Houston-based arts impressario Arpad Lamell, whose brother, violinist and conductor Guido Lamell, plays in the orchestra. All of us were completely overwhelmed by the power, beauty, creativity, and deeply moving impression that the trio of John Adams, Peter Sellars and Gustavo Dudamel were able to bring to life as an artistic and spiritual gift for all peoples, now or in the future. At one point Arpad turned to me and said "I feel like I am personally witnessing the creation of the world" and indeed that is what it felt like and what I believe it
feel like, for audiences experiencing the completed performance as well, whether in California or New York or London or Europe - all locations that the tremendous and innovative LA Philharmonic players will be generously bringing this incredible piece and production to in the coming weeks.
If you are going to be (or can get yourself) to ANY of those listed locations this month, and you can manage to somehow beg, borrow or steal a ticket (I know that many locations are already sold out) PLEASE please do all in your power to get there and experience this powerfully moving, inspiring and ground breaking production.
I want to share more about this unforgettable experience - but for now, I will simply link to a page on the LA Philharmonic website and quote a bit from their own ticket page.
"When the LA Phil premiered
The Gospel According to the Other Mary
in concert form last season, "it got a masterpiece that will be part of its legacy," according to Mark Swed in his
Los Angeles Times
review. Just as the extraordinary
El Niño
was John Adams' take on a Nativity oratorio, so
The Gospel According to the Other Mary
(now presented in a theatrical setting) is his dramatically robust vision of a Passion, with its text drawn by Peter Sellars from Biblical stories of Lazarus and Jesus, contextualized with excerpts from the memoir of social activist Dorothy Day and poetry by Louise Erdrich, Rosario Castellanos, Primo Levi, Hildegard von Bingen, and Rubén Dario.
Come for:
Fiercely free-thinking director Peter Sellars' world-premiere staging of this important new work, which Dudamel and the LA Phil take on tour to New York and Europe."

Arco Berkenbosch - Vice President Marketing, Research and Development
It is difficult to explain how inspiring it is to work with the collective brain of 1000 innovative people
I am Vice President, Marketing, Research and Development, and responsible for steering and driving innovation within Smurfit Kappa.
What does your role entail?
Two elements are key to my role:
Firstly, we believe it is best for our customers to have local innovation, which is why I use the word steer and not manage. We serve our customers, by innovating close to their business, their market and their manufacturing. We centrally steer and coordinate this, building a scientific basis to ensure that we offer our customers a reliable and workable solution.
Secondly, we enable cross-learning among our staff to make sure all our innovations are available for all of our customers. Can you imagine how inspiring it is to work with the collective brain of 1000 innovative people, but that is what happens in Smurfit Kappa.
I am also responsible for marketing and customer support. Our customer-driven innovation reflects the way we organise ourselves. That is the reason we choose the unusual combination of placing marketing, customer support and research and development into one cohesive unit. This successful formula provides our marketing and customer-driven personnel with the latest insights and innovations and our R&D staff with the latest customer needs.
What constitutes a good innovation for you?
A good innovation inspires and excites. It is typical things like, 'Wow, that is clever, why haven't we thought of that?' However, most importantly it has to be linked to a customer need, solving a problem, or creating value.
How do you inspire innovation in packaging?
We are a people business; so we are totally focused on inspiring our people using a variety of formal and informal processes and tools. The worldwide Innovation Awards and the 'InnoTools' are just two examples from many. What makes us a really unique company is the inspiring culture. We never stop searching for innovation; we always want to find out, to discover, to prove. It is this culture that is inspirational and everybody in management supports and drives this culture. Including me.
Packaging products
We design, manufacture and supply paper-based packaging to package, promote and protect our customers' products.

"I hate that thug music."
This, according to Rhonda Rouer's testimony last week, is what her fiance, Michael Dunn, said when they pulled into a Jacksonville, Fla., gas station next to an SUV full of black kids who had the stereo up high, pumping some obnoxious, bass-heavy rap.
Ms. Rouer was inside the convenience store when she heard the shots. Mr. Dunn, who is white, had gotten into an argument with the young men about their music, had gone into his glove box for his pistol and started shooting. As the SUV tried to get away, he fired still more rounds. At least one of those rounds fatally struck 17-year-old Jordan Davis.

In nov 2015, i put this sweet potato tuber in a small pot of soil. So, the idea was to take the slips for planting. it has grown into a tall 6 foot houseplant, maybe more. I have to start cutting the slips and get them ready in pots.
I got this tuber from an organic farmer in a stand right accross the Parkdale market. He is farmer from from Gananoque area (1). It was not the actual Parkdale market, but it was that market just right accross Starbucks on the weekends. We were walking from Mountain Equipment Coop (MEC) and I just cross the street. It was about 3pm and they were already packing. I was so lucky to find this stand. The tuber is yellow flesh and sweet.

From the beginning of time people have had a connection with animals, domestic or wild. Animals were domesticated mainly, for functional use. For example, cats were used to kill mice and dogs for tracking and hunting. Results from reseaches done in the late 18th century show that animals were even used to help rehabilition in the the mentally ill. Today, our relationship with animals is primarily bonding. In fact, we love our animals so much that over the years, we have created a variety of animal themed entertainment like zoos, circus, movies and even online casino games. While historically, animals were mainly kept outside or in a barn, current studies show that 60–80% of dogs sleep with their owners at night, either in or on the bed, while the majority of cats are now kept inside and considered part of the family. Currently, in the US, for example, over 1 billion animals are kept as pets. Many researches are regularly conducted on the potential benefits of the human–animal bond. Our pets are indeed part of our family and we now care for them as much as we care for our children. This would explain why we are fascinated by them and that they have been used in so many movies and casino games.
|Dogfather is a fun dog mafia themed casino game. Dogfather is a five reel, twenty payline and one hundred coin slot game. Dogfather has a wild symbol, a scatter symbol, a Mark your Territory bonus game, and a Free Spins bonus game. Dog Father can deliver 13,000 coin maximum regular jackpot when you hit 5 Wild Dogfather symbols that can turn into 39,000 coins win during a Free Spins round. Additionaly, the Dogfather offers two bonus games, the Mark your Territory bonus game and the Free Spins bonus game. While it's not as good as the progressive Mega Moolah slot, it still has it's fair share of awesome slots features. Here are some of the symbols features: The Dog Father himself (Da Boss), is a flashy bulldog who flashes his cigars and big bankrolls. It is a wild symbol and will substitute all other symbols except the Itchy da Flea symbol and the Hydrant symbol. The Itchy da Flea symbol is a scatter symbol which means it doesn't need to appear in a line on an enabled payline to win. The Itchy da Flea symbol can be scattered anywhere on the five reels provided three or more Itchy da Flea symbols appear. Psychedelic fire Hydrants symbols tell you it's bonus time - hit 3 or more Hydrants to activate the bonus round. You choose up to 5 hydrants from a selection of 13 multi-colored hydrants. Your total win can reach up to 32,500 coins in the main game, with 2,650 available in bonuses and a huge 97,500 coins possible through the Free Spin Feature. Other symbols include: Duster , Revolver , Stuffed Bunny , Cigar , Cutter and Wallet , Knuckle Duster , Shampoo and Gloves and other Humor related icons. If you like fun graphics, flashy symbols and mafia movies, you will like this Dogfather online casino game.
|Crazy Crocodile
|Crazy Crocodile is a three reel, one payline, and three coin casino online slots game which doesn't sound like a crazy game at first! But don't be fooled by this slots simplicity because even though it is a one payline slots, there is actually a lot you can do. For example, the Crazy Crocodile is not only your wild but your scatter symbol as well which means it will substitute any other symbol to complete a winning combination and it will payout if it appears in any position on all three reels. Three Crazy Crocodile symbols scattered anywhere can payout up to 1 000 coins at the casino online. And three Crocodiles on the payline will payout up to a maximum of 4 000 coins. So all you want to be seeing in this game is the Crazy Croc!
|Flying Circus
|Flying Circus is a five reel, twenty payline, and four hundred casino video slot. Like the title says, it will take you straight to the Circus. The intro takes you inside the game where you are introduced to the cast. The reel symbols include a Ring Master, Lion, Girl, Clown, Elephant, High Top, Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten and a Nine. Flying Circus has a substitute symbol, a scatter symbol and a Free Spins bonus game. The jackpot symbol on the Flying Circus slots game is the Ring Master symbol. If you manage to get all five of them on an active pay line you will win 5000 coins for a one coin per line spin, if you are playing maximum coins per line the payout will be 100,000 coins! The Ring Master symbol doesn't substitute for the Clown symbol to complete winning scatter combinations, or to activate the Free Spins bonus game. The Clown symbol is a scatter symbol which means it does not need to appear in a line on an enabled payline to win. It can be scattered anywhere on the five reels provided two or more Clown symbols appear. Three or more Clown symbols scattered anywhere on the five reels activate the Free Spins bonus game. This a great casino game and definitely worth a try.
|Jurassic Jackpot
|Jurassic Jackpot is a three reel, one payline, and two coin casino slot game. It is based on the famous Hollywood movie Jurassic Park. Some of the symbols are derived from the film, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex is a wild symbol in the game. It has some great sound effects which makes you feel like you are in the Jungle hunting with the gigantic T-Rex! You can hear frogs croaking and dinosaurs roaring in the background and sound effects that vary depending on your bet per spin. The Jurassic Jackpot symbol is wild and substitutes for any other symbol to complete winning combinations.Get one T-Rex symbol on the payline and you get double the payout. Get two, and your payout quadruples! This is a casino game not to be missed!

Why SPARQL?
"I'm quite pleased to have played a part in helping SPARQL become a W3C Recommendation. As we were putting together the press release that accompanied the publication of the SPARQL recommendations, Ian Jacobs, Ivan Herman, Tim Berners-Lee, and myself put together some comments (in bullet point form) explaining some of the benefits of SPARQL. They do a good job of capturing a lot of what I find appealing about SPARQL, and I wanted to share them with other people. I don't think these are the best examples of SPARQL's value or the most eloquently expressed, but I do think it captures a lot of the essence of SPARQL..."Read more »

W3C Opens Data on the Web with SPARQL
"W3C announced today the publication of SPARQL, the key standard for opening up data on the Semantic Web. With SPARQL query technology, pronounced "sparkle," people can focus on what they want to know rather than on the database technology or data format used behind the scenes to store the data. Because SPARQL queries express high-level goals, it is easier to extend them to unanticipated data sources, or even to port them to new applications. «Trying to use the Semantic Web without SPARQL is like trying to use a relational database without SQL» explained Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director. «SPARQL makes it possible to query information from databases and other diverse sources in the wild, across the Web» ..." via http://www.w3.org/News/2008#item6Read more »

As a Filipino, it can be hard to find a regular job. According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the unemployment rate is slowly rising, with 7.5% or an estimated of 2.9 million individuals without a place of work compared to 7.1% in January 2013. The Philippines has few industries and graduates have a hard time finding a job they like. Most of them end up stacking shelves at local supermarkets or working as cashiers, jobs that could hardly be seen as suitable for someone who has just graduated from university. The reality is harsh, with many Filipinos opting to work abroad in order to support themselves and their families.
However if you're a foreigner, things may look different to you. You already have the capital required to make it, the only thing that you need is a business idea and the right people to help you implement it. Luckily, Filipinos are hardworking people and it's a known fact that Filipino VAs are some of the most resourceful and industrious English speaking workers that you can employ online. Because of this, opening a business in the Philippines is mostly about getting around the legislation and finding and providing Filipinos with an opportunity that they do not yet have.
Here are a couple of business ideas to kick start your idea-generating part of the brain. While not entirely new or exclusive, these ideas can give you a base from which to create your next winning business.
1. Rice retail business.
If you were born and raised in the Western hemisphere, bread is probably a staple in almost every Western cuisine. However when it comes to SE Asia, rice is king. Every Filipino eats rice. Getting into the rice retail business requires a starting capital of P60,000 to get something that is profitable right off the bat. If you're not a Filipino, you'll have to find one because that is the only way you will be able to start this business. Once you have your local partner, you will require a business permit, licenses with the DTI or the SEC if it is a partnership or corporation and also a license from the National Food Authority.
This isn't a new idea by any means and it is mainly an arbitrage business. However, if you're just starting out, it's a nice starting point until you're ready to tackle bigger fish.
2. Tarpaulin printing business
Tarpaulin is used as drop sheet for painting and can be used on anything from food carts to electoral billboards and even to funerals. Graphics printed on tarpaulin are cheap and the material is resistant, making it a good fit for Philippines' tropical weather.
3. CAD plotting business
Another specialized type of business, the main target customers would be architects and engineers. A plotter works like a regular printer except that it can take paper sizes larger than the standard A4 through A1 sizes
4. Second-hand clothing business
Known locally as Ukay-Ukay, used clothing is big with Filipinos because of the reduced prices it offers them. You can import clothes from other countries for cheap (clothes that did not pass local standards for example). This can be an alternative to opening a boutique or buying space in a department store.
5. Pandesal making business
Another staple diet of Filipino diets, Pandesal is a common bread eaten at breakfast or as snacks. Instead of opening a general bakery, it's best to open a small bakery that specializes in making Pandesal. Assure that your Pandesal is of high quality and you will have no problem attracting customers.
6. Shoe, bag and leather repair business
Filipino markets are flooded with shoe and bag replicas from China, so almost everybody owns one. But while they're cheap, they also break very easily. People would rather have them fixed instead of thrown away. That's where a shoe, bag and leather repair business comes in.
7. Street food business
Street food carts are seen all over the Philippines. Isaw or grilled intestines, betamax (dried pork blood), pig ears (called walkman), chicken head and feet are all popular street foods. You can buy all of these products and the only requirement is to grill them on charcoal before they can be sold.
8. Personalized T-Shirt Printing
With recent advances in technology, almost everyone can buy a printer, t-shirt transfer paper and a couple of blank t-shirts to start off their business. Selling custom t-shirts is an evergreen niche.
9. Meat shop business
You will find many meat shops in wet markets and setting up shop near other shops similar to yours is a sure way to fail (unless you don't mind operating on abysmal margins)
10. Cellphone loading business
Another idea for a business that does not require a big starting capital. Eloading allows people to sell credits from all telecom networks.
These are just a couple of business ideas to help you find the ideal one. Remember, if you're going to open a business in the Philippines, you should create something that locals could not replicate. Otherwise, if you get into markets where arbitrage is everything, you will most assuredly lose to the competition who is willing to work harder for lower margins.

I. The Truth About Elite Women
Half the wealthiest, most-privileged, best-educated females in the country stay home with their babies rather than work in the market economy. When in September The New York Times featured an article exploring a piece of this story, "Many Women at Elite Colleges Set Career Path to Motherhood," the blogosphere went ballistic, countering with anecdotes and sarcasm. Slate's Jack Shafer accused the Times of "weasel-words" and of publishing the same story -- essentially, "The Opt-Out Revolution" -- every few years, and, recently, every few weeks. (A month after the flap, the Times' only female columnist, Maureen Dowd, invoked the elite-college article in her contribution to the Times' running soap, "What's a Modern Girl to Do?" about how women must forgo feminism even to get laid.) The colleges article provoked such fury that the Times had to post an explanation of the then–student journalist's methodology on its Web site.
There's only one problem: There is important truth in the dropout story. Even though it appeared in The New York Times.
I stumbled across the news three years ago when researching a book on marriage after feminism. I found that among the educated elite, who are the logical heirs of the agenda of empowering women, feminism has largely failed in its goals. There are few women in the corridors of power, and marriage is essentially unchanged. The number of women at universities exceeds the number of men. But, more than a generation after feminism, the number of women in elite jobs doesn't come close.
Why did this happen? The answer I discovered — an answer neither feminist leaders nor women themselves want to face — is that while the public world has changed, albeit imperfectly, to accommodate women among the elite, private lives have hardly budged. The real glass ceiling is at home.
Looking back, it seems obvious that the unreconstructed family was destined to re-emerge after the passage of feminism's storm of social change. Following the original impulse to address everything in the lives of women, feminism turned its focus to cracking open the doors of the public power structure. This was no small task. At the beginning, there were male juries and male Ivy League schools, sex-segregated want ads, discriminatory employers, harassing colleagues. As a result of feminist efforts — and larger economic trends — the percentage of women, even of mothers in full- or part-time employment, rose robustly through the 1980s and early '90s.
But then the pace slowed. The census numbers for all working mothers leveled off around 1990 and have fallen modestly since 1998. In interviews, women with enough money to quit work say they are "choosing" to opt out. Their words conceal a crucial reality: the belief that women are responsible for child-rearing and homemaking was largely untouched by decades of workplace feminism. Add to this the good evidence that the upper-class workplace has become more demanding and then mix in the successful conservative cultural campaign to reinforce traditional gender roles and you've got a perfect recipe for feminism's stall.
People who don't like the message attack the data. True, the Times based its college story on a survey of questionable reliability and a bunch of interviews. It is not necessary to give credence to Dowd's book, from which her Times Magazine piece was taken and which seems to be mostly based on her lifetime of bad dates and some e-mails from fellow Times reporters, to wonder if all this noise doesn't mean something important is going on in the politics of the sexes.
What evidence is good enough? Let's start with you. Educated and affluent reader, if you are a 30- or 40-something woman with children, what are you doing? Husbands, what are your wives doing? Older readers, what are your married daughters with children doing? I have asked this question of scores of women and men. Among the affluent-educated-married population, women are letting their careers slide to tend the home fires. If my interviewees are working, they work largely part time, and their part-time careers are not putting them in the executive suite.
Here's some more evidence: During the '90s, I taught a course in sexual bargaining at a very good college. Each year, after the class reviewed the low rewards for child-care work, I asked how the students anticipated combining work with child-rearing. At least half the female students described lives of part-time or home-based work. Guys expected their female partners to care for the children. When I asked the young men how they reconciled that prospect with the manifest low regard the market has for child care, they were mystified. Turning to the women who had spoken before, they said, uniformly, "But she chose it."
Even Ronald Coase, Nobel Prize–winner in economics in 1991, quotes the aphorism that "the plural of anecdote is data." So how many anecdotes does it take to make data? I — a 1970s member of the National Organization for Women (NOW), a donor to EMILY's List, and a professor of women's studies — did not set out to find this. I stumbled across the story when, while planning a book, I happened to watch Sex and the City's Charlotte agonize about getting her wedding announcement in the "Sunday Styles" section of The New York Times. What better sample, I thought, than the brilliantly educated and accomplished brides of the "Sunday Styles," circa 1996? At marriage, they included a vice president of client communication, a gastroenterologist, a lawyer, an editor, and a marketing executive. In 2003 and 2004, I tracked them down and called them. I interviewed about 80 percent of the 41 women who announced their weddings over three Sundays in 1996. Around 40 years old, college graduates with careers: Who was more likely than they to be reaping feminism's promise of opportunity? Imagine my shock when I found almost all the brides from the first Sunday at home with their children. Statistical anomaly? Nope. Same result for the next Sunday. And the one after that.

Prosciutto Wrapped Melon with Parmesan Shavings
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: OK, so no real recipe here. My local grocer just ran an ad stating that if you bought the 3 ounce package of prosciutto they would give you a ripe, juicy cantaloupe for free. I am SO into this-gimme now! The cashier-who is about my age-has no idea what is going on and asks me why the prosciutto is paired with cantaloupe. My friend Rick G and his beautiful bride Sharon introduced me to this luxury at their wedding reception back in the day. I've never forgotten. —Vicki Amsinger
Serves: 6-8
ounces wafer thin prosciutto
piece good quality parmesan
ripe, juicy cantaloupe
- Peel and seed the cantaloupe. Slice the fruit into long strips. Wrap each slice with a piece of prosciutto. Toss on some shaved Parmesan cheese and maybe a few torn mint sprigs.

We have committed our resources in order to provide the healthcare community a system that is highly customizable and is based on the work flow of the provider.
McLean, VA (PRWEB) March 30, 2012
Healthcare regulations and cost are often the subject of negative news and headlines. That doesn't mean there are no positive areas of news within today's healthcare environment. One of these positive areas is the move towards electronic health and medical records (EHR / EMR), which are, computerized medical records created by healthcare providers and managed within computer systems. The benefits of using an EMR system are multiple. The primary benefit is improved patient care through greater insight into treatment, fewer errors, and more meaningful treatment plan coordination. Another benefit is the reduction in cost achieved through process and workflow improvements and the reduction of duplicated services during the treatment plan. There are many ways healthcare providers can implement these systems, ranging from privately owned and proprietary to free, open source software systems.
OpenEMR is a free and open source, practice management and electronic medical records (EMR) software application. The OpenEMR system has achieved complete Office of the National Controller of Health Information Technology (ONC) Ambulatory EHR Certification for 2011-2012 Meaningful Uѕе requirements and features fully integrated electronic medical records, practice management, scheduling, electronic billing, internationalization, and free support. Over 4,000 downloads of OpenEMR occur every month making it the popular alternative for those seeking a free electronic medical records system.
The OpenEMR system was developed and is supported by the open-source development community with over 50 developer organizations having contributed to the project. One of the most prolific contribritors is ZH Healthcare one of only a few recognized OpenEMR Certified Contributors. ZH Healthcare has offices in McLean, VA and Cochin, India and have engaged a staff of over 75 in the effort to make the OpenEMR system the best free EMR option for healthcare providers. "We have committed our resources in order to provide the healthcare community a system that is highly customizable and is based on the work flow of the provider" explains Shameem C. Hameed, Chairman of ZH Healthcare. "Since the beginning of the year we have made several significant contributions to the OpenEMR code base, including e-prescription connectivity and the off-site Patient Portal". Substantial contributions were made in the areas of the OpenEMR user interface, the advanced payment feature, an updated billing manager, including the ability to have multiple billing facilities.
ZH Healthcare will continue to develop and contribute to the OpenEMR system. "We are pleased to be part of the OpenEMR community and are encouraged with the progress and implementation of the system, by providers in large and small practices" states Hameed. "There are several major implementations that will demonstrate the effectiveness of the system, including the recently announced decision of the Peace Corps to utilize OpenEMR."
About ZH Healthcare
ZH Healthcare provides open source Electronic Medical Records Solutions and Revenue Cycle Management to healthcare providers including hospitals, university practices, large physician groups, medical billing companies, laboratories, medical imaging service providers, and individual & group practices. ZH Healthcare has become one of the major contributors to the OpenEMR software project with a team of over 75 information technology professionals. ZH Healthcare has made significant contributions to the OpenEMR software, especially in the Medical Billing, Accounts Receivable and Practice Management modules of the code.

You see a twenty-something in the local coffee shop, eyes fixed on her smartphone or tablet. She swipes her finger, taps the screen and...guess what? She just paid for her latte. But she probably didn't use a community bank or credit union for the payment. And that's a problem.
Today, technology has become ubiquitous. Consumers are eager to adopt smartphones and tablets and regard these devices as enablers that make their lives simpler, easier and better.
Each day, millions of people interact with Amazon, YouTube, Hulu and Facebook; three-year-old kids know how to swipe the screen on an iPad; business people in a growing number of cities are paying their cab fares using Square.
But when these same people walk into a community bank or credit union branch, we ask them to step back 30 or 40 years technologically because the industry is still using transaction-based core systems that are decades old and ill-equipped to deliver the kind of personalized experience and channel flexibility that consumers demand.
No wonder our industry has seen the most valuable parts of our business being steadily picked-off by newer and nimbler competitors.
Many core vendors share much of the blame for being slow to address emerging technologies and consumer needs in a comprehensive way. Most have failed to update their long-established systems because rewriting a core system to take advantage of today's standards and technologies is a costly, massive and risky undertaking.
Disruptive change is needed if community banks and credit unions are to continue fulfilling their traditional and vital role at the center of peoples' financial lives, supporting the small businesses and consumers that drive the economy and fuel the American Dream.
As consumers become more digitally sophisticated, banks and credit unions must rebuild their technology infrastructure to do more than simply post transactions. They must embrace real-time, relational systems and open collaborative platforms that will allow them to differentiate themselves, know more about the person and leverage that knowledge to provide customized services and more convenient delivery channels for customers.
Smaller financial institutions generally recognize that new technology is needed to level the playing field between themselves and their competitors. But many leaders of these institutions tell me they cannot afford to upgrade their technology because of other pressures up and down their income statements - from margin compression, reduced fee income and regulatory costs to the challenges of commoditization and the emergence of non-traditional competitors.
Of course, this argument completely misses the point. New technology is not an alternative to addressing other concerns - it is the key to solving them. And even institutions that cannot afford to upgrade their technology today should be focused on strategies that will enable them to do so in the near future rather than later.
One of the smartest strategies is to take advantage of opportunities for collaborating with each other.
Collaboration can take many forms - from sharing services, resources and facilities to sharing technology costs. Collaboration can also involve bringing together peers, user groups, members and others through online workshops, portals and other forums to share insights, ideas and best practices.
Collaboration can even extend to sharing core enhancements. Vendors such as Open Solutions are beginning to offer platforms that let customers post and share applications that take care of common problems or opportunities. Collaboration paves the way for community-based financial institutions to:
* Reduce costs in areas that do not differentiate their institution;
* Facilitate investment in areas that do differentiate them, such as upgrading technology and enhancing customer/member service;
* Innovate faster and at lower cost by turning the best ideas from throughout the community into deployable solutions;
* Enhance the competitive position of the institution and the entire industry.
The ubiquity of technology and the needs of the digitally connected customer have forced financial institutions everywhere to take a fresh look at the role of enterprise systems in meeting the demands of a business model that's been under pressure for many years. The good news is that the latest technology is available today to ease these pressures and, through collaboration, it is possible to reduce costs and bring these systems online quickly.
Technology and collaboration are the catalysts that will drive the next phase of growth for community-based financial institutions. They will not only help us connect with today's digital consumer, but also enable us to stand up to the regulatory and competitive challenges that have been holding our industry back for far too long.
Louis Hernandez is chairman and CEO of Open Solutions, a core banking software provider based in Glastonbury, Conn. He also speaks and writes on issues impacting smaller financial institutions and businesses.

Order The Daisy Sutra
The Daisy Sutra won an Honorable Mention in the Inspirational category of Writer's Digest's 2001 National Self-Published Book Awards. Here is an excerpt from the judge's critique:
The Daisy Sutra is an amazing book! Of the many, many inspirational books I had the privilege of reading for this year's competition, this was the only one to bring tears to my eyes. Helen Weaver has a wonderfully warm and honest voice. Her writing style is seamless and touching, and her memories are transcribed here with an amazing, almost visual, richness.
The book's inclusion of an actual interview with an animal communicator adds a great deal of personalized insight into the topic. The author also does an excellent job of addressing skeptics in her beautifully written "A Word to the Skeptical Reader." The illustrations added even more life to the author's already vibrant passages.
And the original website was a Finalist in Publishers Marketing Association's 2002 Benjamin Franklin Award for the Best Designed and Most Effective WWW Homepage.
In addition to the above honors, The Daisy Sutra was selected for the prestigious Book Sense 76: Independent Bookseller Recommendations for July-August, 2001. Connie Fisher of McLean & Eakin Booksellers of Petoskey, Michigan, one of the several nominating booksellers, described the book as follows:
What a warm, moving reminder of the importance of pets in our lives! Weaver takes it a giant step forward by introducing the concept and experience of communicating with animals. I laughed and cried and felt wonderful reading this book.
The Daisy Sutra is an alternate selection of One Spirit Book Club as of October, 2001.
