This time, however, I was looking at something different. So different that I had to refresh my browser. There, right before my eyes was a new "1-2nd cousin" match. Also known as the motherlode of matches when you have unknown parentage. The name of the match was "HK". I immediately clicked on the profile and clicked through to where I could compare other tests that I manage. My mother was not a match. This was a Paternal very close match. There was no tree attached to the results (no surprise), but the administrator of this test was a name that looked as though it was a reverse of her first and last name. I quickly sent off a casual, but keen message-
" Hi. HK just came up as a new 1-2nd cousin match to me. This is the highest match on my paternal side. Is there a tree I can peruse?
thanks, Julie"
If you've been following along you know that my next step was to go to Facebook and type in the name that I assumed was the administrator. Bingo. Up came a young lady named Naomi, from Melbourne, Australia. Further examination showed that her partner, boyfriend, fiancee had the initials "HK". Instead of immediately friend-requesting her, I hovered over my computer waiting for a response from my Ancestry message. Keep in mind that Melbourne is seventeen hours ahead of Los Angeles. That means it was around 1am where she was. I realized that it would be several hours before I could reasonably hope for a response, so I proceeded to post updates of my good fortune on a couple of private Facebook pages that focus on using DNA for genealogy. My story is somewhat known in those forums, so I was able to bask in the well wishes-as well as heed advice to "screen shot" the match in case it disappeared. This is something that happens to adoptees. We are often someone's "dirty little secret" and are frequently made to feel less than human- just by virtue of existing- and looking for answers that others take for granted.
I spent the next few hours trying to remain calm when, suddenly, on my post in an Australian DNA genealogy page, there was a message from Naomi. It hadn't occurred to me that she may be a member. So much for keeping the "adoption" thing on the "down-low".
The message said "Hi Julie. I've sent you a message." Eek!!
Naomi and I played text tag for a while. After explaining that I am an adoptee (but mean no harm) she obtained permission from her partner's family to share his tree- and so it began!!
For the next several hours I constructed a "mirror tree". This is, essentially, a replica of your matches tree. Thankfully, Ancestry has a mechanism that recognizes names you are adding and gives you assistance by offering "leaf hints" from their data-base. This made for pretty quick work as I have years of experience constructing trees and analyzing potential matches. I completed the previous two generations, focusing on the siblings of my matches parents. The amount of DNA we share, 378 cM's over 18 dna segments indicates that we are somewhere within the first to second cousin range. At first it appeared that most of his dad's family was firmly rooted in Victoria (my home state), while his mother's side seemed to be solidly in New South Wales (next state to the north). I spent most of those first few hours focusing on the dad's side as I was conceived and born in Melbourne- the largest city in Victoria. My matches dad is only about ten years older than myself. He does appear to have two brothers, but there was no birth information listed on the tree. I asked Naomi if she knew their ages and she said that she would ask my matches dad. While I awaited that info I began to focus on the next generation back. My matches paternal grandparents each appeared to have an enormous amount (by today's standards) of siblings. All of the males, five on each side, proved to be of an age that they could have fathered a child in 1964. Open rabbit hole; insert self.
After a few hours it came to my attention that there was a great uncle who was a local mayor at the time of my conception. He appeared to be married, with children, and was a life-long politician. I noted that a potential political scandal could explain the secrecy surrounding my paternity. Perhaps my mother had been convinced to name a different father so as to not further soil her reputation, as well as ruin a political career and break up a family? It was feasible. Even, I dare say, understandable....
Realizing that I wasn't sure what the next step would be, I posted for help in a group where experienced DNA searchers offered advice and technical expertise. Eventually I got a response from an aussie detective named Rose who was more than willing to talk me through it. Rose is "donor conceived" and managed to identify her biological family with a smaller match than I have. I gave her editing rights to my mirror tree and she told me that I needed to go even further back and that she would help me. You shouldn't blindly add suggested connections, but if a record match seems feasible and doesn't have any direct contradictory information than you already have, it's ok to build off of that. "Mirror" trees should always be kept private and unsearchable as they are, for the moment, speculative.
After a while, Rose suggested that I add my DNA results to "HK" in the tree. It would take a few hours for Ancestry to search through the names in my tree to see if there were any name matches to other trees of people who are confirmed DNA matches to me.
All I could do was wait.

New maxcoins are generated by the network through the process of mining. In a process that is similar to a continuous raffle draw, mining nodes on the network are awarded maxcoins each time they find the solution to a certain mathematical problem (and thereby create a new block). Creating a block is a proof of work with a difficulty that varies with the overall strength of the network. The reward for solving a block is automatically adjusted so that, ideally, every 12 months of operation of the Maxcoin network, half the amount of maxcoins created in the prior 12 months are created. This means maxcoins are a controlled currency supply. There is a limit on how many maxcoins can be mined.
Blocks are mined every 60 seconds, each block included 16 new maxcoins. As the amount of processing power directed at mining changes, the difficulty of creating new maxcoins changes. This difficulty factor can be calculated and is based upon the time taken to generate the previous blocks.
How are new maxcoins created?

TVider works great on Blackberry Storm, and Blackberry Storm 2 using the Blackberry Tour Download option available at http://www.tvider.com/u/mobile . I was a little concerned at first, because there wasn't an option to download the Blackberry Storm version and there wasn't a reference to Blackberry Storm at all on the page. But I figured I'd just go ahead and give the Blackberry Tour version a try since it's basically the same thing… *well…kinda*…and it worked GREAT! Yay TVider!

Here is the bunting I made for the Christmas Bunting Workshop on 3rd December. I decided I wanted something a little different to the usual pennant shaped bunting and so came up with the Christmas trees with Snowmen and Gingerbread men (or persons!) appliqued onto the trees. The Snowmen and Gingerbread men could be further embellished with buttons and stitching if you wanted to. Although you can't see all of them there are seven trees in total and obviously the bunting could be made longer or shorter as required.
This will definitely become part of my Christmas decoration collection and I hope will be displayed for many Christmases to come!
If you are interested in the workshop please contact me for more details.

Possible questions asked during a vice principal's interview include "What are your primary goals?" and "How do you handle upset teachers, worried parents and disconnected students?" Further potential questions revolve around hypothetical situations in which job candidates must explain how they would react to an issue.Continue Reading
Interview questions also tend to address questions of discipline and may be phrased like "How have you handled discipline in the past?" or "What discipline mistakes have you learned from?"
The purpose of asking about primary goals is to discover if a prospective assistant principal's focus or goals match with those of the school and principal. The question also provides insight into the priorities of a job candidate. Possible answers could center on increasing access to technology, more community participation or better meeting state benchmarks.
Asking what a job candidate might do about upset teachers, worried parents and disconnected students allows interviewers to get an idea of a candidate's skills in relationships, communication, empathy, patience and negotiation. If a prospective assistant principal has experience in those types of situations, he should point out positive outcomes in past situations.
Hypothetical situations can be about issues like curriculum, legalities and relationships with students' family members. An answer should quickly highlight the root of the problem and be a response that demonstrates nuanced thinking and expertise.Learn more about Applying & Interviewing

This is what Super Mario Bros. would have sounded like 3,000 years ago
Hearing the Super Mario Bros. theme sure takes you back, but one skillful musician showed the world what the video game would sound like way back in 1100 BC!
In a video trending now in Japan, a sheng player recreates the famous 80's theme with perfect fidelity, all on an instrument that is 3,000 years old. The sheng originated in China, and is basically a series of bamboo flutes that resembles a handheld pipe organ. But enough history, listen to SMB as it would sound in 1100 BC here (the magic starts around 0:20).

The Olympics are the Super Bowl of global sporting events, if their mutual fondness for Roman numerals is anything to go by.
Soccer's quadrennial World Cup comes pretty close, but it's hard to beat the international spectacle of flag-waving parades bookending your party.
And the last few cooler versions provided a bounty of opportunities for Canadians to at least lease the podium, if not own in outright, with medal success in several events almost a sure thing. Maybe not as guaranteed as Olympic Athletes from Russia team members having to sit by themselves in the lunchroom this year, but still.
But what's going to happen in 2018? The Games starting Friday in South Korea could provide some drama.
Questions to be answered include:
(a) Can you get up early enough for the opening ceremony?
(b) Can you stay up late enough to watch that biathlon relay that means so much to you? There's going to be plenty of time to get sick of hearing that Korea is 13 hours ahead of Nova Scotia, so pace yourself as if you were in the cross-country 50k classic.
Some prognostications seem like safe bets. For instance, I'll defer to the experts who are confident that Canucks will prevail in curling, or, as I call it, crokinole on ice.
Women's hockey in Pyeongchang should shake down to the all-too-predictable final of Canada versus the United States, since they appear to be the only competitive teams in the world, but it's the men's tournament that looks both fraught with unpredictability and the potential for casting new heroes.
National Hockey League brass opted not to shut down operations for two weeks, so Sidney Crosby won't be on the cover of Sports Illustrated like he was in 2010 when destiny allowed him to beat the Americans on home ice. But a golden goal in overtime won't necessarily come from some Bad News Bears outlier on skates: Canada's squad has a collective 5,544 games of NHL experience.
Whoever lights up your Wi-Fi-connected goal light beer glass, they're going to be Sasquatch-sized folk heroes if Canada does well.
Here's one solid sure thing: it's never bad to predict that something unpredictable is going to happen during the Olympics. Who could have foreseen the encapsulation of elation when skeleton dude Jon Montgomery chugged that pitcher of beer in Whistler, B.C., after his win in 2010? And who knows what country Vladimir Putin's forces will invade this year while the world is distracted? (If you hear that Olympic timekeeper Omega is sponsoring the Doomsday Clock, hide.)
So, for the XXIII time in winter, let the Games begin.
About me:
A short stint in skating lessons in elementary school marked the beginning and end of my formal participation in winter sports, but the neighbourhood where I grew up in Amherst had plenty of kids who went on to lengthy careers in pond hockey and ball hockey. ("Car!")
The notion that you can sometimes get paid for watching TV wouldn't be formed for awhile, but it might have been planted in 1970, watching with Dad when Bobby Orr scored his Stanley Cup-winning goal, and encouraged in 1972, having been sent home early from school to see Team Canada beat the Russians. ("Henderson has scored for Canada!")
My top five places to watch the Games:
1. Your living room. Features large HD screen and stereo sound.
2. Your bedroom. Features smaller HD screen, and provides the best venue for a nap. (There is that time difference, after all.)
3. Your workstation. There is a CBC Olympics app, as well as streaming at cbc.ca/Olympics.
4. HFX Sports Bar & Grill, Brunswick Street, Halifax. Boasts of having about 100 screens. And it's a bar.
5. The Fickle Frog, Spring Garden Road, Halifax. It's not uncommon to find curling on the TVs here anyway. Casual atmosphere and burgers galore.
Jenna Conter
It's that time of every-four-years again where we muster up the strength, conviction and dedication to become experts in competitive winter sports we don't ever really watch. This doesn't make our dedicated analysis of each event less lacking in expert judgment, examination and brutal breakdown of each toe point, landing and costume. I'm sure it's comparable to that of the play-by-play know-how of any seasoned sports announcer.
Luckily our opinions, though grounded and loosely rooted in movies like Cool Runnings and Blades of Glory, remain safe from scrutiny.
For me, the Olympics
So having been offered the chance to be paid to watch these Olympic Games, the inevitable soul-crushing time difference (anyone up for 3 a.m. viewing of half-pipe snowboarding qualifiers?) is seen merely as a small hurdle. Or mogul, if you will.
In reference to the individual sports that make up this year's winter Olympics, I as a fan of sport in general am not picky. Due to being Canadian and being brought up all proper, hockey is a must. It plays a nice second fiddle to the regular season games and is really the only sport I fully understand. Score a goal. Get a point.
Picking-and-choosing which sport to watch falls to a number of factors — When is it on? Who's participating? How much of this sport can one sit through and still remain conscious? Because, I have to tell you, waking up at 4 a.m. for a rip-roaring game of curling will not be a thing for this lady. This proud Maritimer is aware that that perspective on one of our local sporting strongholds may be considered blasphemous. It just doesn't hold my attention as much as the possibility of seeing a spandex-clad, overly smiley figure skater totally bail out of a quadruple lux jump, full-loop with half twist . . . I mean, the artistry. Wow.
In short, these Winter Olympics, regardless of the robbery of sleep, bring with them another chance to take in two weeks to appreciate nationalism, teamwork and the solidification of my beliefs that no one should become a professional luge-ist.
About me:
I started competitive swimming back when I was eight years old and though it's a year-round sport, my parents made several attempts to allow me to be a well-rounded athlete. Thus beginning the deterioration of pride and the emergence of self-deprecating humour.
My introduction to winter sports goes back to the first and only time I set foot on Whistler as a kid. This was where, for some reason, my parents thought it best to allow me to learn how to ski. I remember crying for my mommy, being very cold and tired, and what they served for lunch: macaroni and cheese. Similarly, minus the tears and an added sense of vigour, back home I participated in Ice Cats. Essentially, it's an on-ice lesson in the law of gravity for children.
And that's how things went for my athletic career above water: we'd go on family ski trips to Quebec, get in a few runs around New Year's and then head home. Suffice to say, my level and now adult sense of fear of injury, the viewing of the Olympics were always done with a sense of wonder and disbelief. I mean
Where you watching?
Given the time change and discrepancy, for me the out-and-about nature of how most take in sporting events may fall by the waste-side as I succumb to the comfort of my couch. However, for those who are inclined to venture out for their viewing pleasure, Halifax proper has a wide variety of key locations — you could say on the podium of Most Bars per Capita, we've won gold.
1. Halifax Sports Bar & Grill
2. Bubba Ray's
3. Niche Lounge
4. Oasis Pub & Eatery
5. Boston Pizza

Twenty years ago, the Hapsburg Lorena princes decided to open a restaurant in Florence: La Giostra.
The new of a noble family managing with dishes and napkins made headlines, but it was not a surprise to everyone. The friends who were accustomed to gathering around the table of the prince at the castle of Barberino Val d'Elsa, in Chianti, had often suggested him to do that. The restaurants that were supplied with olive oil, wine and other products of the family estate had always been feared of the idea ,as many of their best recipes they had drawn from the Prince own mouth.
The son Soldano personally supervises the cellar, and he knew that passion would eventually infect and involve it in a full time job. The passion started in Vienna, when the grandmother used to takie the nephew in the kitchens of the castle -and the servants away-, showing him a "big magic": the sourdough of kraphens.. A fantastic spell that charmed the young prince, destined for a life to browse old manuscripts of recipes, anecdotes, and suggestions to prepare the traditional dishes of the Hapsburg Lorraine's..
"The sciences are not as Minerva came all armed from the brain of Jupiter, are the daughters of time", here is the secret of La Giostra. We expect a typical kitchen and you will taste new flavors, ancient hundreds of years.
The flavors of a Tuscany Lost, when still the place ,where the restaurant is now located, covered by arches sixteenth century in red brick hosted the tournament in Piazza Salvemini, that is the reason of the name . Where shiny horses rested, today there are just sixteen tables, at which sit couples in love, beautiful women, celebrity guests, sometimes entire theater companies … All united by the love for good food and the pleasure of a refined hospitality: in a "homley", home, warm and informal..
Merit of the prince's son, first of all. Merit of flattering reviews from the specialized press. Merit of the historic chef Ubaldo Tonarelli, Florentine doc who is now joined by a number of new talents. Merit of Liliana, who every morning kneads pappardelle noodles and ravioli, bolognese style, with all the freshness of the ingredients freshly picked. A 'merry band of dispensers of joy … "Because food is necessary and choosing is a privilege, but cooking is art".

Having the courage to leave an abusive or dead-end relationship is hard. It's hard to know if you're making the right decision. It's hard to face down fears about what the change will bring. As a reader wrote to me,
"I do fear being alone and I also fear I won't do better. But recently I don't like the man I see or how he treats me and I am now deciding should I stay or should I go?"
Here is my response [slightly edited for privacy and clarity, as it was part of a much longer conversation]:
I'm really reticent to tell people how to live their lives, especially knowing so little about you and your life. The advice I'm going to give here is going to sound very strongly like I'm telling you to leave him. But I believe very much that people can only do things when they are ready to. Otherwise there will always be some regret or lingering doubts. It's better to act when you're ready and have no regrets than to wonder (and potentially end up back in the same situation and draw out the pain). The advice I give is based solely on what you've given me here too. The truth is, nobody knows the truth of a relationship better than the two people in it, even if they can't see themselves clearly. Even if friends and loved ones can spot a dead-end relationship from a mile away and in the end they're right, the part of the truth that really matters is what the two people in the relationship can see.
Ok, so here is my advice, such as it is.
I would say "don't be afraid to be alone", and "you can totally find someone better", and I definitely want to cheerlead you on. But that runs the risk of sounding like empty platitudes and doesn't give you much practical advice. The only thing I think I can really do is say you need to confront those fears, for two reasons. One, if you truly confront them you'll probably find they are empty threats. And two, confronting them means looking really closely at yourself and you'll probably find those fears are actually symptoms of something deeper about yourself. Confronting fears is scary, scary business. But it is SO NECESSARY. And SO SO REWARDING once you get through it. I cannot possibly overstate how deep the rewards are and how fulfilling it is to do this.
It might help to think out would happen if these two fears were realized. If you were alone, if you couldn't find someone else…what would that look like? What part of it is actually scary? Is there a reason (maybe something from your past) that makes you believe you need to fear this? Then maybe take a look and assess: are those scenarios actually likely, are they actually frightening, are there really no other options? Would you really feel much more alone without him than you already do now?
It is scary and takes real courage to end a long relationship. We tend to sympathize most with the person who gets dumped, but being the one to leave takes real courage too. If you come to a point where deep in your heart you know it's over, I know it's scary, but have the courage to be the one to leave. You might find the pain of the relationship ending is not nearly so bad as the pain of it continuing. You might feel suddenly free, like a huge burden has been lifted: one you had no idea was so heavy until you got out from under it.
When I went through a difficult time in a relationship, I made a conscious choice. I decided that I would rather be alone than in a relationship that caused so much pain and made me feel so badly. I didn't want to have to fight so damn hard to be happy. I was too effing exhausted to put up with any more b-llsh-t. I made a promise to myself (and eventually to my now-hubby) that if I was going to get in a relationship again, it had to be REAL. For real. No lies (to each other, but most importantly to ourselves), no false hopes. Just love, respect, and honest effort – with a few laughs along the way.
There, really, is the key: find whatever it is that will make you happy, and is real. Do whatever it takes that makes you feel honestly good about yourself. It is your life to live. Live it without regrets.

The perimeter is disappearing. There really is little or no argument on that score. So if the perimeter is going away, how does one defend a perimeter that no longer exists? The answer is philosophically simple even if it is not quite so easy to implement. The perimeter has become virtual. Not just in the sense of a formal virtual environment – a software-defined data center or the cloud, for example – but in the sense that the perimeter still exists, just not as the formal demarcation to which we have become accustomed.
With that in mind, one might go out on a bit of a limb and state that the perimeter is a device-specific thing. Every server, workstation or mobile device – whether in physical space or in cloud space – has its own perimeter. The overall enterprise perimeter now becomes defined, not just by where you put the firewall, but by the policy that controls all of the individual device perimeters. That – sort of – is the approach taken by our two Innovators in the perimeter defense space.
...the perimeter is a device-specific thing.
You will note that this year we have not included any of the traditional firewall or gateway products in this section. That is because we see the entire issue of the perimeter changing rapidly and we wanted to look for the most forward-thinking Innovators. Does that mean that we believe that the firewall is doomed? Certainly not (although that has been a topic of discussion for quite a while in security circles). What we believe is that the roles of traditional devices – such as firewalls, gateways and IPSs – are due for a change as the perimeter becomes less and less easily definable.
With that said, the Innovators in this space will need to take either (or both) of two approaches: deal with the policy-defined virtual perimeter, and/or redefine the roles of their traditional products to accommodate the emerging network architecture of the future. Our two Innovators have looked closely at the problem and their solutions to the challenge of protecting a disappearing perimeter are what attracted us to them this year. We believe that they are headed in the right direction – although it seems that we never are, actually "there." It doesn't hurt to try to complete the journey though.

Own a small business in the precious metal industry? Philip Diehl, U.S. Money Reserve President, explains how a foot in this industry catapults success and opportunity. While Diehl is considered to have an enormous impact in this industry as the most influential U.S. Mint Director of today, he expresses the exciting power the distribution of the Bullion coin has had worldwide.
Diehl expresses the success of U.S. Money Reserve is the impeccable pairing of American business and customer satisfaction. The commitment U.S. Money Reserve has toward customer satisfaction is the propeller in keeping the enterprise successful, like any business should be. This philosophy sets U.S. Money Reserve apart from its competitors. Declared by U.S. Money Reserve, "over the years, many clients have placed their trust in our ability to help choose coins that afford the highest value, and due to their many wise purchases, the majority of those individuals are in profit positions today."
The customers who would be attracted to this industry are concerned with retirement safety (IRA) and potentially making a profit through investment, like the stock market. The difference is, the precious metal industry is that it is a physical asset, it is a guaranteed asset and it is backed by the strongest economy in the world. Simply put, the investment in this industry allows customers to know exactly what they're getting.
Gold bars and other forms of Bullion (aside from U.S. government gold produced by the U.S. Mint) do not have the same guarantee, not backed by the U.S. economy and they are not legal tinder. In other words, you made be getting counterfeit Bullion if it is not backed by the U.S. Mint.
Gold has had a huge influence in the marketplace over the past decade due to four factors:
1. The 2008 financial crisis
a. Created fear in the market which impacted quality and wealth insurance
2. New demand from gold from Gold ETF's
3. Speculation on uncertainty about the direction of monetary policy from the Federal Reserve
4. Raising value of the dollar
The expected forecast on the increase in demand and prices of gold will contribute to the growth of the middle class and the economic political uncertainty and the BRIC countries. As Deilh puts it, "what comes up must come down" and though he predicts the value of the dollar will fall, gold will come down in prices as well making it more affordable and attractive to potential and existing customers.
By visiting USMoneyReserve.com you can learn more about Gold Bullion and speak with a specialist to invest in this market. Follow them on Twitter.

|Re: Rules for Major Compaction
|Tue, 19 Jun 2012 21:31:18 GMT
Thanks Ed. I am on 0.8.4. So I don't have Leveled option, only SizeTiered. I have a strange problem. I have a 6 node cluster(DC1=3, DC2=3). One of the nodes has 105 GB data where as every other node has 60 GB in spite of each one being a replica of the other. And I am contemplating whether I should be running compact/cleanup on the node with 105GB. Btw side question, does it make sense to run it just for 1 node or is it advisable to run it for all? This node also giving me some issues lately. Last night during some heavy load, I got a lot of TimedOutExceptions from this node. The node was also flapping. I could see in the logs that it could see the peers dying ans coming back up, utlimately throwing UnavailableException(and sometimes TimedOutException) on my requests. I use JNA mlockAll. So the JVM is definitely not swapping. I see a full GC running(according to GCInspector) for 15 secondsaround the same time. But even after the GC, requests were timing out. Cassandra runs with Xmx8G, Xmn800M. Total RAM on the machine 62GB. I don't use any meaningful Key cache or row cache and rely on OS file cache. Top shows VIRT as 116G(which makes sense since I have 105GB data). Have you seen any issues with data this size on a node? -Raj On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 3:30 PM, Edward Capriolo <firstname.lastname@example.com>wrote: > Hey my favorite question!

Poyet 'desperate' to land Borini
Sunderland head coach Gus Poyet is "desperate" to sign Fabio Borini but is prepared to remain patient in his pursuit of the Liverpool striker.
It is almost a month since Borini was initially thought to be on his way back to the Stadium of Light in a deal reported to be worth £12million after impressing in a loan spell last season.
Liverpool's inability to recruit another striker is said to be holding up the deal, but Poyet is determined to land the former Chelsea man ahead of the new Premier League season.
"It's still ongoing," Poyet told American satellite radio station SiriusXM.
"It's important. Fabio, for us, is important and I will tell you why.
"You can always go and spend some millions on a player, but when you know the player the way I know Fabio, how professional he is, how much he cares, the positions in which he can play, and what he brings to the team and to the group.
"He has plenty of things that I really, really like. He's professional and I think he would be fantastic for the group as well, not just because he scores goals.
"He's a key player, which is why the (fee) agreement with Liverpool is quite a big one.
"We'll see. I'm still hoping it is going to happen, but we need to wait and see."

How to Eat a Pomegranate Fruit
Fresh pomegranates are juicy and delicious, but they can be difficult to eat. According to Pomegranates.org there is a simple, three-step procedure to obtain the juicy seeds of the fruit. Pomegranates are available from September through to January. The fruit survives for long periods of time at room temperature when kept away from direct sunlight. Refrigerate the pomegranate to store it for even longer periods of time.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Cut off the top of the pomegranate, which is called the crown.
Step 2
Cut the pomegranate into sections.
Step 3
Fill a bowl with water and place the sections into the water.
Step 4
Allow the pomegranate to sit in the water briefly.
Step 5
Use your fingers to separate the juicy sacs from the skin.
Step 6
Discard the skin and strain the juice sacs from the water.
Step 7
Eat the seeds as they are, place them in a fruit salad, pair with yogurt or use in a dessert dish. Alternatively, eat pomegranates seeds with a savory dish or toss them on top of a salad.

"I found Ian a communicative and informed leader, who worked very hard to find a solution, but was faced with a number insurmountable issues generated by the economy and the sales position of a number of the manufacturers that Birkby's supplied. Unfortunately there was no solvent solution as an independent company and no trade buyer came forward at a cost acceptable to the customer group."

Would you like to get better results from your people?
Cocreative helps you solve an existing management problem, build confidence, or bridge the gap between your essential IT people and the rest of your team. Our clients realised they couldn't do it alone, so they got help from us. Why? Because they needed help from someone with more experience, a different perspective and whom they can trust.
Management Mentoring - when you need to build your confidence and people skills
Technical Mentoring – when you need to build better rapport with your IT people
Management Training – when you need specific knowledge for the future
Management Mentoring
Imanageitbetter manegement mentoring is six sessions of one to one mentoring delivered by an experienced management mentor over three to four months.
Technical Mentoring
Cocreative technical mentoring is 8 sessions of one to one mentoring delivered by an experienced technical mentor. over three to five months.
Management Training

Although we can, and do, work with any small or medium sized business that needs our help, Cocreative specialises in helping those that operate with IT in them somewhere. Using IT solutions like MS office is straightforward - but navigating the ever changing IT scene, or managing the technical geniuses who integrate productivity tools or develop
solutions, is not. Managing this effectively is frequently crucial to the continued success of your organisation.
For IT experts starting their own business, whether you are fixing PCs, writing back-office systems or developing cloud based services, having a better understanding of the business world will add greatly to your success.
Why choose Cocreative?
You may find that other advisers, mentors or trainers have an 'understanding gap' between how business works and what technology can do. Most people understand one or the other, but few understand both. We do. Cocreative will help you bridge this gap and enable you to become more successful as a result.
Cocreative has been helping small and medium sized businesses since 2003. Along the way, we have developed many checklists and templates to save time in doing most of the tasks you need to do. Most are available free on our website. This gives you quick access to a wide range of useful techniques, and maximises the long-term positive impact of working with a business adviser/mentor.

An investigation has shown that a Claremont McKenna College administrator doctored incoming freshmen's SAT scores and other statistics in an effort to make the school appear more selective.
The Los Angeles Times reports Wednesday ( http://lat.ms/HTUl91) that the probe by law firm O'Melveny & Myers shows aggregate scores and class ranking data were altered in the data hyping uncovered in January.
The investigation also revealed that former vice president for admission and financial aid Richard Vos said he was responding to pressure from school president Pamela Gann to make the college more selective and did not intend to boost its ranking in U.S. News & World Report listings.
The college-contracted law firm says Gann did not push Vos to take unethical actions.
Vos did not immediately return a call for comment.

There's nothing wrong with using game consoles to just play games, but it's amazing what people can do with them with a little… no, a LOT of ingenuity. This, for example: Some mechanical engineering students and game designers at Rice University, working in conjunction with Shriners Hospital for Children- Houston's Motion Analysis Laboratory, have taken a bunch of Wii Balance boards and created a system to help children with certain disabilities — cerebral palsy, spina bifida, amputations — to walk. They used a series of five Wii Balance boards, some handrails, a computer, and some game software that has the kids battle monsters with their steps, and the result is the Equiliberator, a game system that's theraputic as well as fun:
The game increases the challenge as patients improve, and they're looking at adding feedback from the handrails into the game to penalize relying on them too much. The whole thing cost less than $2,000 in parts, too.

Chapter 17—True Dreams and False
Joshua rapidly sails past the Horn. Bernard wonders where the other sailors are in the solo race around the world. He wonders if Nigel's Trimaran survived the trip and thinks of other shipwrecked sailors who struggle to survive. Bernard tries to give word of his position off of the Falkland Islands. He approaches the fjord that leads to Port Stanley, but stops the boat near the lighthouse there without contacting anyone, due to safety concerns. He then sails northeast to clear the iceberg zone. Bernard takes advantage of the calm to put his wetsuit on and scrape the barnacles off of Joshua's hull. Bernard enjoys the brief swim, despite having to be alert for an inquisitive shark. The calm winds give Bernard a chance to relax and he sees that the ship Joshua...

New payment models present opportunities for SNFsJune 18, 2014
For skilled nursing facilities, the Medicare SNF 3-day rule can make it difficult to place the right patients in the right setting at the right time. The 3-day rule requires that a Medicare beneficiary spend three nights in a hospital as an inpatient — observation stays do not count — before becoming eligible for Medicare-covered SNF care. This rule creates a challenge for SNFs as hospital lengths of stay decline for many of the conditions that SNFs treat.

We were told we didn't meet technical requirements for Medicare. What does that mean?

Suprascapular neuropathy or infraspinatus syndrome is less common cause of shoulder pain, especially in athletes with overhead sports activity. Volleyball, basketball and tennis are examples of such sports which increase the risk of rotator cuff tendinopathy, injuries to the glenoid labrum and suprascapular neuropathy.
The incidence of suprascapular neurpathy appears highest in volleyball players.
[Anatomy of Suprascapular Nerve]
[anatomy of scapula and structures attached to it]
Causes of Suprascapular Neuropathy
Suprascapular nerve entrapment or injury is the prime cause of suprascapular neuropathy. Suprascapular notch or the spinoglenoid notch, latter being more common are two sites where nerve could be affected. Sports like volleyball and direct trauma are key causes.
Repeated traction and microtrauma, direct compression by surrounding structures or compression space occupying lesions, and ischemia of the nerve from repetitive trauma are suggested mechanisms of injury.
Massive tears of rotator cuff and injuries to glenoid labrum, space-occupying lesions such as ganglion cysts arising from the glenohumeral joint are known causes of suprascapular neuropathy.
When the upper limb is abducted and externally rotated, suprascapular nerve becomes vulnerable to direct compression at the spinoglenoid notch. This mechanism is important in sports requiring overhead activity.
Migration of posttraumatic microemboli from the suprascapular artery to the vasa nervorum is also suggested as plausible cause.
Genetic causes are thought to play a role, but the specific factors are not known yet.
Presentation of Suprscapular Neuropathy [Signs and Symptoms]
Quite a number of people with suprascapular neuropathy are not symptomatic.
Vague shoulder pain in dominant limb [usually] is most common presentation. The pain is described as a deep and dull ache.
Some may present with supraspinatus and/or infraspinatus weakness [weakness of abduction and external rotation of shoulder]. The level of compression determines whether both the muscles are involved or single.
Involvement of both the muscles suggest compression before spinoglenoid notch, whereas if infraspinatus only is involved, it is at spinoglenoid notch.
Lesion that affect both the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles are more likely to have pain that affect only the infraspinatus.
On examination, atrophy of the supraspinatus and/or infraspinatus muscles may be present on the physical examination, depending on the site of the nerve entrapment. Supraspinatus involvement may be frequently overlooked because of the bulk of the overlying trapezius.
Overhead motions include weakness and compromised endurance in performing overhead and muscle testing may reveal relative weakness. Cross-body adduction or internal rotation of the ipsilateral upper limb may result in pain.
Pressure applied over the suprascapular or spinoglenoid notches may cause tenderness.
Differential Diagnoses of Suprascapular Neuropathy
Cervical disc Injuries, cervical radiculopathy, rotator cuff injury, shoulder impingement syndrome should be ruled , superior Labrum injuries needs to
Lab Studies
Not generally required.
Imaging Studies
Routine radiographs are often normal. Cervical spine xrays are required to rule possible radicular cause.
Shoulder MRI may reveal paralabral cyst, ganglion cyst with suprscapular nerve compression. Acute cases show supraspinatus or infraspinatus muscle edema whereas in chronic cases fatty infiltration may be seen.
Ultrasonography can reveal for ganglia or masses in parascapular region or cysts in spinoglenoid notch especially in thin people.
The confirmation of diagnosis can be done with electrodiagnostic testing.
Treatment of Suprascapular Neuropathy
Initial treatment for suprascapular neuropathy is conservative which consists of symptomatic medication and mobilization exercises. NSAIDs and gabapentin may provide some pain relief.
Activity modification/repetition is advised. Heat application, nerve blocks etc may help to relieve the pain. The injection of an anesthetic and/or corticosteroid mixture into the suprascapular notch may provide temporary benefit.
If there is a compression, it should be relieved surgically without putting patient on conservative treatment. Early decompression provides a better chance of regaining full muscular strength and bulk.
If conservative treatment fails to relieve the symptoms, surgical intervention simple widening of the spinoglenoid notch or suprascapular notch may be considered.
In some patients radiofrequency ablation may be considered as palliative procedure.
In recovery phase, shoulder mobilization and strengthening exercises are started gradually.

Teen Fidelity****
Short review: This site, in the grand scheme of things, is still fairly new to the scene. They've made it a point to include a new model in every update and include plenty of behind-the-scenes footage. So, while they may not update as often as some of their competitors, the content is always diverse, high-quality, and 100% exclusive. Which, to me at least, makes it worth the wait. Plus, your membership includes access to Porn Fidelity, which should help ease the pain a bit between updates.
Content Amount: 33 videos and galleries.
Content Quality: Gorgeous HD quality videos and high-res photographs. Hot scenes with some of the best looking "teen" models I've yet to see.

Although I was a "fuzzy major" in college, I love science and particularly love learning about theoretical physics. This can likely be attributed to my outstanding physics teacher at Manhattan High School, Ron Curtain. Even though I fared rather poorly grade-wise in freshman physics at USAFA, I enjoyed reading books like "The Tao of Physics" and "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" later in college. Those books are certainly a far-cry from a standard physics textbook, but they do offer a glimpse into scientific ideas and theories to which I only had a cursory "formal" introduction in school.
My son, who is now 12, loves to watch NOVA specials on our home DVR. We particularly like watching episodes together about theoretical physics topics including dark matter, the origins of the universe, etc. It's absolutely phenomenal that the explosion of television programming as well as our digital learning landscape online affords us so many chances to expand our knowledge on topics of interest like these. On past summer trips, we've enjoyed listening to "Science Friday" podcasts, NOVA ScienceNOW podcasts, and others. Who cares that his science curriculum at school has never touched these subjects with any notable depth?! That hasn't stopped us from learning about these topics and discussing them together at length.
Now, I'm excited to learn we have even more high-quality, free resources on theoretical physics to enjoy together. This evening, thanks to a delicious share by Dennis O'Connor, I learned Stanford University has published a free course series to both YouTube and iTunes titled, "Modern Physics: The Theoretical Minimum," taught by Leonard Susskind. One example of these available free courses by Dr. Susskind is "Quantum Mechanics (Winter 2008.") All ten lectures from the course are available via this YouTube playlist. At the start of this lecture, Dr. Susskind explains what "continuing education" is at Stanford as the context for this lecture series.
The Open Culture blog's list of free physics courses is superb, and includes courses from other universities in addition to Stanford. The eleven minute video, "Understanding String Theory" from Harvard is one I will share with my son this week. It is unbelievable that anyone with an Internet-capable computer, a high-speed Internet connection, and a local network policy which permits access to these video websites (certainly NOT the case in all our K-12 schools, I'm afraid) can enjoy access to these videos and more like them.
I'll be sharing a session on April 7th at the Iowa 1:1 Institute titled, "OER: Open Educational Resources – Learn what the open content movement means for 1:1 schools (free digital curriculum.)" When I was in Hangzhou, China this past November, I was very interested to learn staff members at some of their largest universities are tasked to compile hotlists of videos like these which can be integrated into Chinese courses offered both online and face-to-face. I don't think we've hardly begun to tap into the potential value of video content like this in our own colleges and universities, much less our K-12 schools.
Thankfully that shortcoming does not have to stop us from learning @ home. 🙂 I think it is superb Stanford makes these videos available NOT ONLY via iTunesU, but also via YouTube. Access at any price to some of the best minds at a university like Stanford is a remarkable gift. Who wold think that price, or the cost of admission, would be digital connectivity? Add this to my previous list of reasons all our colleges and universities should have 1:1 programs TODAY.

|Clinical psychology
This study examined the relationship between self-compassion, empathy and burnout, and whether self-compassion had a "buffering effect" for a psychotherapist and could protect against the effects of high empathy, i.e. burnout. The sample consisted of 301 psychotherapists between the ages of 23 to 89, working in the United States Utilizing an online data collection site, the participants completed previously validated self-report measures designed to assess self-compassion (Neff, 2003), empathy (Jolliffe & Farrington, 2006), and burnout (Maslach, 1996). The main finding in this study was that there was a strong correlation, yet no evidence for causation, between high self-compassion and low burnout for all three subscales of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment). Furthermore, high empathy was correlated with higher burnout only for the subscale of emotional exhaustion, but not for the two other burnout subscales of depersonalization and personal accomplishment. Hence, the hypothesized "buffer effect" of self-compassion "protecting" the individual against the effects of high empathy, i.e. high burnout, would only apply to the combination between these two variables: high empathy and high emotional exhaustion. However, no "buffer effect" of self-compassion was found in this study.

The tallest building on earth, is not that apartment behind your house. It's the 829.8 m tower in Dubai, named BURJ KHALIFA. It is also known as Burj Dubai to some.
4 of us, who travelled from Abu Dhabi, spent half an hour in Dubai Mall (previous post) and finally ended up at Burj Khalifa.
Me (Malaysia), Ali (Jordan), Tomi (England) & Jade (The Philippines).
We did all sorts of stunts there and mine is of course, the SMASHPOP JUMP.
We were there for almost 1-2 hours before the sun started to set. The view was so beautiful we stopped at this location to snap all the photos we want.
After all the travelling and jumping, it was time to reward ourselves with FATBURGER!

DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki's 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds left capped a stunning comeback as the Dallas Mavericks downed the Chicago Bulls 100-98 Saturday afternoon.
Jimmy Butler missed two free throws with 15.9 seconds left for the Bulls, who led by 12 with just over 4 minutes remaining.
Nate Robinson's long 2-pointer at the buzzer went long. Robinson made seven 3-pointers.
Robinson scored the Bulls' first 11 points of the fourth quarter to snap a tie. But the Bulls couldn't win a season-high fourth straight.
The Bulls sank 12 of 22 3-pointers overall. Robinson finished with 25 points, as did Luol Deng and Carlos Boozer. Boozer added 11 rebounds.
Dirk Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 35 points.
The back-and-forth game featured not only hot shooting but 17 lead changes and seven ties.
Joakim Noah, Marco Belinelli, Richard Hamilton and Derrick Rose again sat for the Bulls.
"Marco is very close, but we just want to make sure. Abdominal strain, those things, you just want to make sure he's right," coach Tom Thibodeau said.
The Bulls finish a back-to-back Sunday at home against the Detroit Pistons.
"It's whenever they're ready," Thibodeau said. "We want to be playing our best and we want to be as healthy as possible going down the stretch, so if that means one more day, two more days, so be it. But we just want to be smart about it moving forward.''
For the Mavericks, O.J. Mayo played with a sore shoulder and missed his first 12 shots. The Bulls missed Nowitzki during their blowout victory in these teams' last meeting last November. He didn't miss on eight shots in the first half.

Can you pick the phonies? It???s not easy and it is the reason why Mercedes are preparing a lawsuit against Chinese car manufacturer Shuanghuan for their Smartcar ???ForTwo??? look-alike, the Noble.
Making its European debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Noble is set to become Europe???s cheapest death-trap (prices starting at just 7000 Euros or a little under $AUD12,000), provided Mercedes-Benz lawyers don???t put a stop to it before then.
Designed for 4 occupants (yes I???m serious), the Managing Director of China Automobile Deutschland, Klaus Schl??ssl, had this to say,
"If I were the auto manufacturer I would not make such a big deal out of it. The cars are priced differently and are in a different class in terms of quality. There are many cars on the road today that look similar to each other???
Right on Klaus!
Which makes it a good time to show you some of the other look-alikes that are currently destined for global sales if the Chinese manufacturers can get their way.
Enter the Dongfeng ???Crazy Soldier??? (above) and yes again, I???m quite serious. Designed using the H1 Hummer as its main influence (no really?) the original of which was helped to fame by California???s Governator. This non-military version is due to be released in China early next year.
Another rip off is the Shuanghuan SCEO, due for release in Europe if they can somehow get it past Germany???s stringent ADAC crash tests. It???s a ???bitsa??? that from the rear looks like a BMW X5 and the front a Toyota Prado.
The world???s population currently sits at 6.5 billion with 1.4 billion of that total figure residing in China. The Chinese population is currently increasing at the rate of 10 million per year and more Chinese people means more production.
I wouldn???t be laughing at these imitation automobiles for too long, they just may be sitting in driveways around the world in years to come! For those who couldn???t guess which is which, all the Chinese cars are on the left and all the original designs are on the right.

MFT uses the energy field of the body to provide a conversation to assess priority for treatment. For more information you can see the website of the co-founder of this newly developed technique M-Field Technique (MFT).
I have seen great results with this technique. We are located in Sonoma County, California, which is a place where many people develop pollen and mold allergies. N.A.E.T. strengthens the body when it is in contact with a substance that formally caused a weakness. N.A.E.T. also helps identify whether certain essential nutrients are causing weakness in the body and therefore are not likely being well absorbed. By strengthening the body in the presence of the nutrient it can be better assimilated. For example, one patient described drinking a milkshake after being treated for calcium. She could never understand why people enjoyed them, but now felt like she was really taking it in.
Research has proven that low energy pulsating fields within the frequency range of 'the biological window' can produce remarkable positive changes within the body. The term 'magnetic resonance stimulation' of the MRS 2000 simply indicates that by applying a pulsating electromagnetic field that matches the Earth's magnetic field, nearly all 75 trillion cells of the body can be stimulated into harmonic resonance. As a result, the powerful capacity within the cell membrane increases and enables the cells to produce more energy. This energy enhances the the self-healing powers of the body. With the addition of the Sound & Light Relaxation System, SLRS, light and sound sensations alternating between right and left eyes and ears, allow for subconscious communication between the left and right sides of the brain. Trauma is healed without the focus or awareness of the trauma being called up to consciousness.
To paraphrase from the website, mediconsult.tv, The Sound & Light Relaxation System, can be described as a "spa for your brain." It works seamlessly with your MRS 2000 to melt away stress, improve oxygen circulation to your brain, deepen your ability to enjoy relaxing, restorative sleep, and naturally improve emotional balance without drugs or side effects.
Facial Enhance is a style of cosmetic acupuncture that uses many very tiny needles inserted directly into the fine lines of the face to bring the body's repair systems to the area. It uses other points to lift and relax. It was developed by a Five Element style acupuncturist and takes into account the important principles of that tradition. Energy Light Rejuvenation™ ( ELR ) uses state of the art micro-current and color light to tone and treat points of the face without needles. ( see below for more on the micro-current )
Experiencing your authenticity does bring out your natural beauty. Five Element Acupuncture alone can bring the sparkle to your eyes, match your eyes to your mouth when you smile, improve your complexion and overall help you look and feel relaxed and ready to enjoy life. Facial Enhance and ELR adds direct treatment of the face so that collagen production can be stimulated in areas that could use that support.
I like ELR facial rejuvenation for it's adjustment of facial muscle tone to more youthful firmness and it's ability to reduce or eliminate sagging areas of the face. And because the whole body is reflected in the face it is another way of tuning up the whole body, mind and spirit. Many people also find a short facial tune up to be a relaxing way to end their treatment session.
The following benefits may also result from treatment:
I use gentle state of the art micro-current & color light therapy for the treatment of pain, and as am alternative to needles which I find especially useful for treatment in sensitive areas. The micro-currents are applied at specific frequencies and polarities that match the body's own bio-electric activity. This technology is an aspect of Energy Medicine, which is certainly a major future direction of health care.
I like this technology for pain because I can use methods to address pain that produce rapid results without interfering with the classical constitutional work if done judiciously. Children and people who prefer non-needle methods to treat the points of acupuncture love micro-light treatment with the acutron as well.

Gautham Menon's 'Kaakha Kaakha' is actuality adapted in Hindi by ambassador Vipul Shah. John Abraham and Asin will comedy the advance roles played by Suriya and Jyothika in the Tamil original.
John Abraham has already started architecture his anatomy to bout the demands of the appointment specialist character. For Asin the academy abecedary role will be a block airing as she has already done it in the Telugu adaptation 'Gharshana'.
Vipul's aboriginal best for Asin's role was Genelia D'Souza, but back Genelia is already accomplishing a blur adverse John Abraham, he absitively to go for Asin who has already formed with him in the not-so-hit cine 'London Dreams'.
The blur will be directed by Mumbai Meri Jaan administrator Nishikant Kamath as Gautham Menon absitively not to echo his act one added time. Gautham has done the Telugu adaptation with Venkatesh and Asin before. The cutting for the Hindi accommodate is accepted to alpha in May.
'Kaakha Kaakha' is a band archetypal in which artistes and technicians excelled in every department. It was a blur complete in about all respects. Will the Hindi adaptation be able to echo the same? A abundant claiming is advanced of Nishikant Kamath.

Gossip Girl Clips: "Ex-Husbands and Wives"Steve Marsi at . Comments
Between the extended video montage we posted yesterday and these clips we've just added, you could piece together a lot of tonight's Gossip Girl episode if you tried.
"Ex-Husbands and Wives" does not air until 9 tonight on the CW ... in the United States. But it aired last night in Canada. We're jealous of our neighbors to the north.
Fortunately, one of them pretty much filmed the episode on a digital camera and posted clips of it online (if he/she sat closer to the TV next time, we wouldn't object).
We've added NINE excerpts from "Ex-Husbands and Wives" below, but more than that are out there. Post links in the comments if any in particular catch your eye.
We'll refrain from commenting on any of them here for those who want to avoid Gossip Girl spoiler overload. So here goes. Follow the jump at your own risk ...

The ladies of Fifth Harmony have a big weekend ahead of them. In addition to releasing their new music video for their single, "Me and My Girls," on Saturday, they will be some of the many stars attending the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday.
The first-time VMA attendees stopped by our AllAccess.MTV.com live stream to perform two of their singles, "Miss Movin' On" and "Me and My Girls," where afterwards they gushed about their fandom for Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga. The All Access live stream is rolling for 24 hours every day until show day, Sunday, August 25.
But, of course, they are also hyped for Saturday's release of their new video, which they teased during the interview. "This is how we act when we have a slumber party," Normani Hamilton said about forthcoming clip, dropping one day before the VMAs.
In addition to all that, the fivesome who went shopping for VMA outfits earlier this week and put on a fashion show during the live interview, are just preparing to strut down the red carpet at the big show the following day. Dinah Jane Hansen shared, "Every carpet, whenever stars are doing an interview [in front of us] we're like [pointing]."
So, what will they wear? "There are so many different options from the VMAs. We can go really dressed up, really hip, really chill. It's like there's so many, I don't know which to choose," Ally Brooke shared about her VMA fashion philosophy earlier this week.
Normani also shared the group's philosophy when it comes to dressing for a red carpet like the VMAs. She said, "We have to represent ourselves individually, but it also has to kind of work together."
Well, fans won't have to wait much longer to see what they end up wearing. The VMA pre-show, with performances from Ariana Grande and Austin Mahone, kicks off at 8 p.m. ET/PT, followed by the main show, which goes live at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
