People around the UK, in Brazil and right across the world will be able to enjoy the results of this vision during the London 2012 Festival, in the build up to Rio 2016 and beyond.
(PRWEB) March 24, 2012
The Brazilian programme as part of the London 2012 Festival, the culmination of the Cultural Olympiad of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, has been announced in Rio de Janeiro.
The Brazilian elements will be integrated into the 12-week cultural celebration that will run from 21 June until 9 September, bringing together leading artists from around the world in events across the whole of the UK.
The announcement was made in a press conference that took place on Tuesday 20 March in the Grand Hall of the Visual Arts School of Parque Lage in Rio de Janeiro, by LOCOG Chair Seb Coe; the Director of the Cultural Olympiad & London 2012 Festival, Ruth Mackenzie; the Secretary of State for Culture of Rio de Janeiro, Adriana Rattes; the Municipal Culture Secretary, Emilio Kalil; and the British Ambassador, Alan Charlton. There were also representatives from the Brazilian Olympic authorities and the Federal Ministry of Culture.

The London 2012 Festival will present the best of contemporary Brazilian culture and creativity. In addition, it will create opportunities for Brazilian artists to collaborate and create relationships with established and emerging British artists.
Seb Coe, Chair of LOCOG said: 'The brilliance of these artists' work for the London 2012 Festival illustrates the depth of the shared vision of London 2012 and Rio 2016 to build strong relationships through culture. People around the UK, in Brazil and right across the world will be able to enjoy the results of this vision during the London 2012 Festival, in the build up to Rio 2016 and beyond.'
Ruth Mackenzie, Director of Cultural Olympiad and London 2012 Festival said: 'Thanks to Adriana Rattes and Emilio Kalil and our partners in the UK, the London 2012 Festival provides a great platform to showcase Brazil's cultural and creative talent, delighting and inspiring audiences in London, across the UK and around the world. These commissions start collaborations between artists from the Brazil and the UK which will grow over the years to 2016.'
Adriana Rattes, the Secretary of State for Culture of Rio de Janeiro, said: 'The London 2012 Festival and Rio Occupation London - which the State Culture Secretariat has programmed in partnership with LOCOG - will strengthen Rio de Janeiro's international cultural relations, promote a dynamic, attractive and contemporary image of the State of Rio, and create a platform on the world stage for the best work of artists emerging in Rio, bringing to life the Olympic spirit through our artists and creating a legacy for Rio 2016.'
Emilio Kalil, Municipal Secretary of State, said 'The City of Rio de Janeiro will be taking part in the London 2012 festival, represented by an incredibly wide range of performances and events such as the Bispo do Rosario exhibition, the play "Two Roses for Richard III", the Back2Black Festival and the Big Dance. It's an excellent opportunity to present four different projects covering dance, theatre, music and the visual arts, extending our cultural ties and promoting an intense artistic exchange between Brazil and the UK that will continue to 2016.'
The British Ambassador Alan Charlton said 'For two countries who share such a sporting passion, equally fundamental to our sense of identity, of ourselves, are our rich cultures. I am very excited by the creative partnerships which 2012 and 2016 are inspiring.
'It is the duty of all of us to keep this momentum going after September, and I personally hope some of these initiatives will run naturally into the UKBrasil season, a six-month celebration of UK business, science, education, innovation, culture and sport which starts in Brazil in September.'
The Brazil programme for the London 2012 Festival:
Rio Occupation London - 30 artists from Rio de Janeiro will collaborate with London artists in the Rio Occupation London, a cultural occupation by Rio in London, an initiative of the Secretary of State for Culture of Rio de Janeiro, in partnership with the London 2012 Festival. The Occupation's advisors include: Batman Zavareze, Beatriz Caiado, Cesar Augusto, Eva Doris Rosenthal, Luisa Marciern Marcio Botner, Nayse Lopes, Pedro Seiler and Tatiana Leite. The Artistic Directors of the Occupation will be Christiane Jatahy and Gringo Cardia with Executive Production by Paul Heritage and People's Palace Projects.
The list of artists already confirmed includes musicians, visual artists, playwrights, choreographers, graffiti artists, film makers, poets, photographers, DJs and actors.
They will all live at Battersea Arts Centre (BAC), a leading arts centre, with expertise in artistic residencies and the infrastructure for cultural production, together with a thousand-seat theatre, studios and workshop spaces.
The British artists will collaborate with the Rio artists in the residency and will be selected by important institutions, already partners in the project, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, Serious, the Roundhouse, the Southbank Centre), Somerset House), the Barbican and the British Council. In these same spaces the collaborative works by the artists will be presented.
Also on show during the Occupation will be a "panorama" giving an insight into the work of Rio artists who have influenced the Occupation artists, and information on Rio culture and the Occupation events will be made available widely. Furthermore, there will be a Film Festival with both feature and short films representative of contemporary Rio cinema and individual and group performances at the BAC and other locations throughout the city.
Finally there will be a Closing Festival in a 42,000 square metre space near the Olympic Park, a three-day celebration of the best of what has been created and presented in the city throughout the project, a grand celebration of Rio de Janeiro.
Carnival collaborations – A Rio-style float made in collaboration with Rio and featuring performers drawn from Rio, Hackney and London carnival groups will take part in the One Hackney Festival's street parade to celebrate the arrival of the Olympic Flame in the London 2012 Host Borough on 21 July.

Breathe is created by four leading disabled artists – Jamie Beddard, Alex Bulmer, Dave Toole and Mat Fraser – and features local theatre groups The Remix and Double Act joining together with two Brazilian companies APAE Floripa and Estacao Duncar, Florianopolis, to create a spectacle before an audience of 15,000 on Weymouth beach.

Amber Hart pushes contemporary romance to its wildest limits in this heart-pounding novel, the story of a girl who travels to Africa to protect the legacy of one man . . . and stays for the love of another.
Raven Moore, a twenty-year-old college student from Michigan, feels out of place in the beautiful, treacherous jungles of Cameroon, staying in the habitat where her father gave his life to help protect endangered gorillas. He left home years ago; now Raven refuses to return home until she unravels the truth about his last days.
Raven certainly doesn't count on crossing paths with a handsome young hunter—especially one as charismatic and intense as Jospin Tondjii. Instantly, she's hooked. But Jospin is hiding a dark truth: He is the heir to a powerful poaching empire, part of a ruthless black market that is responsible for the dwindling gorilla population.
Their fathers may have been enemies, but Raven and Jospin forge a bond that goes beyond blood, a relationship that is tested as Raven draws closer to the source of her father's death. Can she and Jospin bear the weight of the secrets of the wild—and the secrets of their pasts? Or will the rain forest destroy them both?
As always I want to thank Random House, Loveswept and NetGalley for providing us with a copy of this book so that we can bring you this review.
OK I have to admit when I first started to read this story I didn't think that I was going to be able to finish it. It wasn't easy for me to read about poaching or the things they do to hurt animals. I also didn't think that there was going to be redeeming qualities for Jospin, but Ms. Hart did a great job of bringing it all together. My heart hurt for Raven and the anger she carried around with her most of the time. She was so full of anger and hate, but I loved the fact that a gorilla was able help her heal. Which is one of the reasons it was so hard for me to read the parts where the poachers glorified and justified what they do to the beautiful animals.
I will say a big thing of this book though that I REALLY didn't like (of course other than the poaching), was that this book ends in a bit of cliffy. So be prepared to have to wait for the next book and read that one (whenever it becomes available).
I give this book four kisses, mostly because of the cliffhanger and the poaching scenes.
Happy Reading… Adri

January 23, 2017
Brandon and I both love travelling. We decided that on our next vacation, we would include all our family and friends and get married! We had previously travelled to Riviera Maya in Mexico and had an amazing experience, so we knew that it would be the perfect place to say our 'I dos.' There are a ton of activities and excursions for our guests to take part in, and we knew it wouldn't disappoint.
We were so impressed with how our resort, the Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort & Spa, took care of us. When we landed in Mexico, there was a bus waiting for our group to take us directly to the resort. ↱
When we got there, we were attended to immediately. We were able to meet with the wedding co-ordinator and photographer the next day, and we didn't feel like it interfered with our vacation time.
Our guests loved the activity and food options. Some of them did one excursion a day, and many of them were able to relax poolside while their kids played on the waterslides. There were also plenty of a-la-carte options for our guests. My parents really enjoyed their morning beach walks, followed by coffee at the beach bar. Each of our guests had a different experience, but they all left with such great memories.
Our wedding day went off without a hitch. My sisters and family commented on how relaxed I was from beginning to end. I did my own hair and had my makeup done at the spa, and they did an incredible job. Since our ceremony was in the afternoon, Brandon and I spent some time with family and friends at the pool bar.
The beach bash near the end of the reception was definitely a highlight. Brandon created a playlist based on our guests' requests. When the DJ started playing my favourite song, "Paradise" by Coldplay, both our families huddled in a large circle, singing their hearts out. It was an amazing ending to the most memorable day of my life.
Check out these Transat destination wedding resort picks from the wedding planning experts!
Your dream satin dress is a showstopper, but wear it under the Mexican sun and you're sure to melt. Choose a climate friendly gown in a lightweight fabric like chiffon, georgette or silk organza.
You have always dreamed of tying the knot on a mountaintop, but it's a climb and many of your guests might not be up for the journey. If your heart is set on a hard-to-reach locale, arrange transportation for guests to and from your venue.
Your guests are coming a long way to celebrate with you, so acknowledge their efforts by adding a heartfelt welcome note to their room. On the day of, tell each guest just how much their presence means to you.
Planning a destination wedding is a major undertaking, so having a local wedding planner on board is a stress reliever. They'll not only help with personalization, but will have insider information on the best vendors in the area. Most hotels offer the service of a wedding coordinator on site.
Getting married under the sun's glowing rays puts you at risk for burning, and that is something nobody wants on their wedding day (or honeymoon!). Be sure to pack and wear sunscreen on your wedding day (pack a spray formula so you can easily reapply) and be a thoughtful host and have SPF on hand for your guests too.
While it's easy to get swept up in the romance of having your wedding in paradise, overlooking the hard facts could result in disaster. Check everything from your destination's exchange rate to its marriage requirements before putting down a deposit.
Wherever you and your partner choose to get married, remember you're celebrating your love for one another, and this is what your wedding is all about! Let go of your worries so you can fully appreciate every second of your day and your chosen destination!
Get inspired by great destination wedding articles, originally featured in the Transat 2017-2018 Weddings brochure!

Inclement weather played spoilsport as the first 'Youth ODI' between India and Sri Lanka did not yield any result after splendid batting by the visitors, here today.
Put into bat, India scored an imposing 301 for five in their stipulated 50 overs while Sri Lanka were 63 for one in 14.1 overs when heavens opened up.
The Lankans were chasing a revised target of 295 in 48 overs but the match could not be started following a heavy downpour.
For India, skipper Vijay Zol (76) again did the star turn while Ankush Bains (59) and Sanju Samson (58) also struck half-centuries. Ricky Bhui and Deepak Hooda chipped in with useful contributions of 49 and 31 not out respectively.
The foundation of the Indian innings was laid by Bains and Zol who added 127 runs for the second wicket after the departure of opener Akhil Herwadkar (7).
Zol faced 95 balls and hit 11 fours while Bains faced 67 deliveries in which he smashed five fours and two sixes.
The next important partnership was between Samson and Bhui who added 101 runs in only 15 overs. Both scored at more than run-a-ball as Samason's 58 came off 56 balls with six fours and a six and Bhui's 49 came off 45 balls with five boundaries and a six.

Technology Industry Analyst Jeff Kagan is available to speak with reporters, or may be quoted through this release.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 12, 2014
Intel and Qualcomm are two of the nations largest chipmakers. They are competing to set communications standards for the Internet of Things or IoT going forward, says Bloomberg News, July 8.
Industry analyst Jeff Kagan offers comment.
"As IoT grows we must decide on one standard going forward. This will help the industry grow faster. It will let all companies get on the same page. However we have seen this type of corporate power struggle before. Remember the 1970's battle between Sony BetaMax and JVC VHS, or the more recent struggle between Plasma TV and LCD technology," says Technology analyst Jeff Kagan.
"After several years of battling in the marketplace there is always a winner. The IoT will let a growing variety of every day devices communicate both with each other and with the Internet. We are still in the very early days of this new revolution. Because of that we don't yet have an agreed upon standard for communications. So both Intel and Qualcomm are offering their own versions. Which will win?" asks Wireless analyst Jeff Kagan.
"It would be much better if Intel and Qualcomm could agree on a standard, but that may be too much to ask," says Principal analyst Kagan.
Intel rejected the Qualcomm attempt to set tech standards so devices can connect and communicate.
Intel is setting up the Open Interconnect Consortium. This has the backing of companies like Samsung Electronics, Broadcom and Dell.
Qualcomm is setting up the AllSeen Alliance. This has the backing of other companies like Microsoft.
"This sounds like the kind of corporate battle we have seen countless times in the past. Qualcomm and Intel are two of the nations largest and most successful chipmakers who want the world to operate on their system. However only one will win this battle. The big question is simply, who will win and when?" asks Tech analyst Kagan.

Nicki Minaj Suffers Nip-Slip On 'High School' Video Set!
Mishap is revealed in new behind-the-scenes video with Lil Wayne...
Nicki Minaj suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction on the set of her new video for single, High School.
The American Idol judge and collaborator Lil Wayne - who shot the clip before his recent health woes - have released a behind-the-scenes preview of the promo, which includes Nicki's nip-slip.
In the video, Minaj can be seen cavorting in a jacuzzi wearing a revealing neon-yellow swimsuit, when her breasts fall out - exposing her nipples.
However, the 30-year old's modesty is protected with two strategically placed gold stars.
Weezy then pokes fun at the mishap, insisting that Nicki should be naked for when they shoot their scene together.
The Super Bass hitmaker previously shared snaps of herself on the shoot of High School, showing off her bikini bod in the same skimpy swimsuit.
High School is the fourth single to be taken from Minaj's current LP, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - The Re-Up.

I love pancakes, I love pancakes, I love pancakes, we do too. Nothing else in life does matter when I'm sucking down on that cooked batter. Waffles are just for the squares. Pancakes are for dudes who have no cares. If I don't have time for a taste, I just pour syrup all over my face. If I couldn't get another flapjack, I think my skull I would crack. Hey pancakes, I love you.

Pancakes seem more accessible, you don't need a special iron to make them, you can use a regular frying pan. I do prefer Waffle House over The International House of Pancakes though when it comes to restaurants."

Petty criminals -- shoplifters, vandals, the drunk or disorderly -- are getting a slap on the wrist as the county jail nears capacity.
Last week Shelby County sheriff Mark Luttrell asked the County Commission to build a new jail with 3,500 to 4,000 beds. Luttrell indicated that the jail at 201 Poplar is almost full, and to prevent overcrowding, the county is only holding people for serious crimes.
"There's more scrutiny to determine whether or not a crime can be dealt with as a misdemeanor as opposed to a felony charge," said Luttrell. "If you didn't have the pressures of a crowded situation, you might easily write people up for some felony offense and put them in jail. But these are people who don't really need to be in jail."
As of last Wednesday, the county jail population was 2,360 inmates, and the facility can only house 2,500. If the population rose above 2,500 inmates, Luttrell would have to mix dangerous criminals with minimum-security inmates.
"When you start mixing minimum-security with maximum-security, you're talking about a higher-level, more predatory inmate dealing with a lower-level, less predatory inmate. You'll run into some real risky behavior," said Luttrell.
The sheriff's office is using other tactics to keep jail space available for dangerous criminals. About 200 inmates are being held at a satellite facility at the County Corrections Center at Shelby Farms, but that building has nearly reached capacity as well. About 37 juveniles have been diverted to the women's facility near Shelby Farms. The District Attorney's Office has been weeding out arrest warrants that involve crimes that may not stand the test of prosecution.
"We've got to have some relief," said Luttrell. "At the Operation Safe Community summit in November, we laid out 15 initiatives to aggressively fight crime. That means we're going to be locking more people up, which means we're going to need a new facility."
Not all county commissioners backed Luttrell's plan, however. Commissioner Mike Carpenter suggested Luttrell look into having the Corrections Corporation of America build a satellite facility to hold extra inmates. Luttrell expressed his opposition to privatization but said he'll "discuss it as long as anyone wants to.
"I'm not convinced that privatization will save us that much money without impacting operational efficiency," said Luttrell.
Commissioner Mike Ritz suggested housing more inmates at the Penal Farm.
"The County Correctional Center can't hold too many more," said Luttrell. "They've told us they can't afford to give us any more buildings."
Luttrell said he'll begin requesting proposals from architectural firms in the next couple weeks. He expects to present a final proposal to the County Commission by July or August.

Trust is difficult to build and all too easy to break. And when you have broken the trust of someone in the workplace—be it a co-worker- or boss—it can adversely affect your work and career. But there are ways to repair a relationship.
If Your Trust Has Been Broken
Calm down: Take time to reflect on what has happened before responding. "Cool your system down–do not react in the heat of your emotions. Approach the trust breaker in a calm, clear and professional manner," says workplace relationship expert Kathi Elster of K Squared Enterprises and co-author of Working with You Is Killing Me, Mean Girls at Work and Working for You isn't Working for Me.
Get their side: Although you are hurt, try and find out why the person betrayed your trust. "Find out where the other person is coming from. This is not easy. It's not uncommon to think we know the other person's intentions, but you might be wrong, so ask," advises Elster.
Set boundaries: Now that the person has crossed the line, you need to set limits so it won't happen again. "Lay out your future trust requirements–if the other person takes responsibility for their role in breaking your trust, you can now say what you need in order to trust again," says Elster. "For example, say something like 'I expect you to inform me first the next time you include me in a decision.'"
Does the person deserve a second chance? "See if there is a chance that the other person is willing to earn back your trust," says Elster.
If You Broke The Trust
Take responsibility: Acknowledge that you have broken the person's trust and apologize for lying.
Stop lying: You will never again be trusted if you continue to lie. Boost your credibility by being dependable and honest.
Keep your promises: If someone can't believe what you say you are going to do, they will never really trust you. How can you be trusted with a major account if your boss is not sure you will do the work?
Offer restitution: If there is a way you can fix the situation you created, try.
Question yourself: Ask yourself why you did what you did. Did you have good intentions or were you manipulating the situation for self-interests? Were you trying to get ahead at work at the expense of someone else?
Try to rebuild the trust: Actions really do speak louder than words. Prove to the person you are willing to earn their trust again—and show them. If you failed your boss on an important account, work extra hard to show you won't do it again.
Have patience: Know that it will take time to regain trust and get the relationship back on track.

San Jose Sharks even series with second win on home ice
Los Angeles Kings centre Colin Fraser is hit into San Jose Sharks goalie Antti Niemi by Andrew Desjardins (10) during Game 4 of the NHL Western Conference semifinal in San Jose, May 21, 2013. (REUTERS/Robert Galbraith)
Related Stories
The San Jose Sharks aren't going away.
Unfortunately, they have to go back to L.A. now.
Thanks to Tuesday's 2-1 home-ice win over the Los Angeles Kings in a performance that will surely have the rest of the hockey world talking, the Sharks took care of business in back-to-back outings at HP Pavilion and have evened up their best-of-seven set with the defending Stanley Cup champions at two wins apiece.
The action now shifts back to Staples Center for Thursday's Game 5.
"You could feel it when we left L.A. on the plane after Game 2 — we were ready to get back to work," said Sharks coach Todd McLellan. "We're going to swing the bat when we're up there."
They're swinging alright, and suddenly this Western Conference semifinal is turning into a slugfest.
The Sharks and Kings were two of the NHL's most effective home teams during the regular season, so it's really no surprise this series is knotted after a couple of clashes in each rink.
What is surprising — maybe even shocking for some — is the way its unfolded.
Truth be told, the Sharks should be leading this series 3-1.
The Kings, confident as they are, must realize that. They still have home-ice advantage and have won a dozen straight games at Staples Center, but it's become clear their upstate rivals won't be easily bounced.
For all the talk over the past couple of days about the emergence of centre Logan Couture, who scored again Tuesday, and the evolution of San Jose's leadership group, Joe Thornton was the best player on the ice in Game 4.
The 6-foot-4 pivot dangled and out-muscled a team that prides itself on not being out-muscled by anybody.
Thornton finished with just one assist, but he was a factor in both of San Jose's goals and — to the surprise of nobody — was named the first star.
"It's the best I've seen him play. I don't know what he had for pre-game meal today but I hope he has it again in a couple of days," said winger T.J. Galiardi. "He was flying. And it's so contagious. When Jumbo's going, everybody is going."
With their broad-shouldered captain showing the way, the Sharks were nothing short of dominant early on.
The hosts were credited with almost twice as many hits as the Kings in the first period, holding a 21-12 edge in that category.
They won almost three times as many faceoffs, posting an eye-popping 73% success rate at the dot.
And they fired five times as much rubber, unloading 15 shots before the first intermission — including Brent Burns' opening goal — and allowing just three at their own end.
The Kings still seemed to be stuck in their pre-game nap early in the second period, when Couture deflected Boyle's point-shot on the power play to give the Sharks a two-goal edge. The goal was originally credited to Boyle and a second assist to Thornton, but 'Jumbo Joe' was bumped from the official equation when replays proved Couture put a little English on the puck in front of Jonathan Quick.
What will give the Kings some confidence as they return home is the way they responded in the third period, firing 14 shots at Sharks netminder Antti Niemi and finally showing glimpses of the type of team they have been at times in this post-season.
Mike Richards made things interesting with a power-play goal near the midway point, but that's as close as it would get.
"You've got prepare, get ready for the drop of the puck. It was 1-0 before we even knew what was going on out there," Richards sighed. "A loss is a loss. You can chop it up any way you want. It's 2-2 going back home. Obviously, it would have been nice to get one here, but we're going home. We're comfortable there.
"We have to put together a full 60 minutes, which we haven't done for a while."

Catching Up on a Difficult Weekend: Starlin Castro, Offensive Uncertainty, Pitching Questions
Hopefully you treated yourself and your family to a nice, long, holiday weekend, Friday through Sunday. The "hope" in there isn't entirely a passing pleasantry, either – if you missed some of the news as it broke this weekend, you're probably better off coming to it now with a little more context. But we'll get to that.
Friday, December 26
- After the usual morning Bullets, I took a look at new Cubs pitcher Mike Kickham (whose pickup you may have missed). Waiver pickups get you only so far, but Kickham looks like the right kind of gamble.
- The Cubs' World Series odds just keep getting nuttier.
- We haven't had an opportunity to fawn over Cubs prospects in a while, and there was a new opportunity!
- I still have some concerns about where the Cubs' offense – as currently projected – stands.
Saturday, December 27
- Remember Brandon Webb? Not the serious bummer of an ending, but how his story started – from borderline non-prospect to one of the best pitchers in baseball. How did he do it, and whom does it make you think of?
- I tried to figure out how Edwin Jackson might fit in the bullpen, but mostly just came away with more questions.
- And the big one. Starlin Castro was connected to a nightclub shooting in the Dominican Republic by various reports, but it sounds like he wasn't involved.
Sunday, December 28
- We tried to unpack the information available on Castro and the shooting – his agent offered his take that Castro was not involved and has been cleared, Castro offered a statement – and I tried to put things into perspective.
- On a much lighter note, I looked at Cubs pitchers' HR/FB ratio last year, and wondered if we're going to see more homers given up in 2015.

Bristol Spring Congress Results (11.03.2017.)
Bristol's Spring Congress took place on the last weekend of February. Keith Arkell (240 – Paignton) won the Open Section with a maximum 5 points, as there was no-one anywhere near him in rating. The nearest was Thomas Villiers (204 – Barnet), who duly came 2nd.
The other sections were more closely contested with a quadruple tie in the Major (U-155), between George Georgiou (Swindon); Sam Jukes (Barry); Robert Radford (Keynsham) and Alan Papier (Bristol & Clifton), all on 4 pts.
The Minor (U-125) was won by James Rosseinsky (Horfield) on 4½ pts followed by Grant Daly (Downend), on 4.
This was Arkell's final game that clinched his 1st place.
White: Keith Arkell (2406). Black: Joseph Turner (1936).

The ECF's Chess Book of the Year 2016 was Chess for Life by Matthew Sadler and Natasha Regan (Gambit – £15.99). The subtitle describes the book: "Understanding how a player's chess skills develop and change with the passage of time". To this end they interviewed a number of older players, and Keith Arkell contributed a section on rook & pawn endings, described by the judges as "masterly", and "a mini textbook in itself". His endgame mastery was on show at Bristol, as in the above game, making early exchanges of material in order to simplify and get to the endgame, where he could better exercise his skill.
The solution to last week's problem by Dave Howard was 1.Qe8! threatening 2.Qa4 mate. Black's rooks have several tries, but 2.Nc5++ is also mate. The week before's was solved by 1.Qa3! and not 1.Qxe3 which had inadvertently been left in from the previous week. Apologies for that.
This position arose in a recent game in the Devon leagues. Black has just played Qa6, so why did he resign next move?

The goofy level of global warming criticism has found a new, and still more bizarre, rationale in the deductive logic of a Kentucky state senator. Republican Majority Whip Brandon Smith says the myth of climate change caused by humans can be refuted by the fact that the planet Mars has no coal mines.
Sharing his perceived wisdom at a hearing on proposed EPA restrictions on the release of greenhouse gases by coal mines, Smith said environmentalists are sniffing down the wrong shaft in search of polluters. In his words:
"I think that in academia, we all agree that the temperature on Mars is exactly as it is here. Nobody will dispute that. Yet there are no coal mines on Mars, there's no factories on Mars that I'm aware of. So I think what we're looking at is something much greater than what we're going to do."
His spacey research is overwhelming.
This kind of blather is actually good for democrats. Independent voters are getting tired,and scared by this lunacy. Now if we can only get democrats to the polls.
Susan Riley
Perhaps he could be sebt to Mars (apparently his home panet) for further research.
Huh? I can't believe this guy actually thinks this makes sense!

- Sipadan is the main maritime island in Malaysia, rising 2,000 ft from the seabed.
- It is situated in the Celebes Sea off the east bank of Sabah, Malaysia.
- It was developed by living corals growing on top of a wiped out volcanic cone that took millennia to create.
- Sipadan is situated at the heart of the Indo-Pacific bowl, the focal point of one of the wealthiest marine living spaces on the planet.
- More than 3,000 types of fish and several coral species have been arranged in this environment.
- Sipadan Island was at its top spot with 2 different destinations known for the assorted qualities of their marine life.
- Green and hawksbill turtles which mate and home there, gigantic schools of barracuda in tornado-like developments and also substantial schools of enormous eye trevally and bumphead parrotfish.
- Pelagic species, for example, manta beams, bird beams, scalloped hammerhead sharks and whale sharks likewise visit Sipadan.
- A turtle tomb lies underneath the segment of the island, shaped by a submerged limestone hollow with a maze of passages and chambers that contain numerous skeletal stays of turtles that get lost and suffocate before reaching the surface.
- Turtles and Reef Sharks are extremely common around the island.
- It is additionally easy to spot Leopard sharks, Grey sharks and even Hammerhead sharks on the off chance that you are fortunate.
- Manta rays are likewise to be gliding around.
- The coral is perfect. You will discover extraordinary ocean gorgonians fans and barrel sponges along the steep walls.
Barracuda Point
There is a huge shoal of thousands of barracudas here. You can also see bumphead parrotfish, dozens of turtles and reef sharks patrolling the area. Sometimes there is also hammerhead sharks. The site is composed by a steep wall going down to 22 m deep often with strong currents. After your nice dive, you finish your dive in the shallow in the coral garden.
Coral Gardens
The dive site is located on the South Side of Similan Island. Like the name says, it is a very shallow spot featuring a superb reef on a fine beach. This is a perfect place for Snorkelling to enjoy the reef life. This location is a Reef. This is great place for spotting and diving with sharks, octopuses, manta rays, triggerfish, pufferfish and turtles.
Hanging Gardens
Located in the South of the Island. It is a beautiful wall with a great variety of colorful hard and soft coral, barrel sponges and sea fans. Along the wall you can discover a whole range of damselfish, chromis, sweetlips on black coral, clownfish, lobsters hiding in the cracks and tiny sea slugs. Sometimes, there are so many turtles that you can see dozens in a single dive! There also many reef sharks swimming around.
Mid Reef
Situated a bit South of Mandarin Valley. Like all the diving around Kapalai Island, you can find here many small stuff and critters like Harlequin Ghost Pipefish, Frog Fish, Stone Fish, Octopus, Mandarin Fish, Mantis shrimp, Lobsters, Ribbon eels and many rare Nudibranchs. The dive site is famous for its Pygmy Seahorse hidding in the Coral, so be patient and open your eyes sharp.
South Point
Famous for its magnificent wall going deep down into the blue fully covered with untouched coral. There are many pelagic fishes swimming in the current with schools of barracudas, trevallies and many turtles. You can also see manta rays here quite often.

You can also encounter the rare thresher shark.
Staghorn Crest
Dive site is located in Sipadan just north of South Point. It is a great coral garden in the shallows followed by a 15m deep plateau.
Turtle Cave
The entrance of the cave is located about 18 m deep. You enter the cave for about 21 m then you arrive in the second chamber. From there, there is another tunnel connecting with the dive site Turtle Tomb. Along the cave there are several turtle skeletons, making it an eerie sight deep within the reef.
Turtle Patch

Lions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine is one of the Rebecca Caudill nominees this year. In 1958 Little Rock, Arkansas, painfully shy twelve-year-old Marlee sees her city and family divided over school integration, but her friendship with Liz, a new student, helps her find her voice and fight against racism.
After you've read this book, take a look at Little Rock Girl by Shelley Tougas, one in the new series called Captured History Elizabeth Eckford was one of nine students to integrate Little Rock Central High School and is part of the famous photo taken on that day, along with another student screaming at her. Years later Counts took another picture of the same two girls, now grownup, in front of Central High School.

Before anyone hit's me over the head with "File a Bug Report" I'll save you the time you didn't take in checking to see if there was a bug and, there is. #505365 to be exact. The work around is known, it's a matter of waiting until Fedora decides on how to fix it.
Meantime, Firefox still crashes. So what to do. Well in dealing with the bug and in dealing with some stack traces I did, we came to the same idea. There are a number of libs in Firefox, that are referenced by Firefox, the same names are referenced by flash. The problem comes when Firefox runs it says "Do I have this lib if so use mine." and Flash says "Use the lib referenced by ldconfig" OOOOOPS!
Yep, you now have conflicting libs, and the end result is a total panic by Firefox, resulting in a crash. The solution? Remove the conflicting libs from the Firefox directory (where Firefox expects them to be) and poof. All is well in surfing land. If Firefox can't find the libs locally it happily uses the system libs without missing a beat.
The procedure is as follows. ($ is used to represent a command prompt)
$ cd /usr/lib/firefox
$ sudo mkdir lib-hold
$ mv libfreebl3.chk libnss3.so libnssutil3.so libsmime3.so libssl3.so libfreebl3.so libnssckbi.so libplc4.so libsoftokn3.chk libnspr4.so libnssdbm3.so libplds4.so libsoftokn3.so lib-hold/
Now just install Flash as you normally would and viola, you now have a working flash installation that doesn't crash Firefox.

Gold Coast RECOMMENDATIONS See all
3 Days in the Gold Coast: Suggested Itineraries
By Viator, May 2015
Day 1: Tour the Gold Coast
It's tempting to dive headlong into party mode on a Gold Coast holiday, but why not start the day off with a sunrise hot-air balloon ride over the Gold Coast hinterland instead? Take in the almost tropical landscape before landing at O'Reillys Grand Homestead for breakfast and champagne. Now get your bearings on the ground with a full-day tour of the Gold Coast. Dip into the luxurious world of the Palazzo Versace and Marina Mirage before cruising along Broadwater Canal and venturing into the World Heritage-listed rainforest of Springbrook National Park. Finish up with a cocktail at your pick of the Surfers Paradise bars.
Day 2: Head to the theme parks
The Gold Coast in synonymous with theme parks and it is home to some epic ones: Warner Bros. Movie World, Sea World, Wet 'n' Wild Water World, Dreamworld and WhiteWater World. These slick parks are perfect for family getaways, with attractions designed to suit all ages – think Sesame Street, the Tower of Terror or an encounter with a whale. There's a lot of fun to be had here, so consider grabbing a multi-park pass or a Theme Park Super Pass which gives you unlimited access three major parks over 14 days.
Day 3: Day trips from the Gold Coast
Tear yourself away from the rollercoaster and get out into Queensland's great outdoors for a day. Check out Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin's living legacy, Australia Zoo, or make a nocturnal visit to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary for a guided tour by flashlight. Take an eco-tour to the Mt Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk to experience tropical Queensland at its best or go island-hopping to Moreton or Fraser Island. Not the outdoorsy type? Queensland's vibrant capital, Brisbane, is less than an hour away, so head to its riverside restaurants or Fortitude Valley boutiques.

The lineup for UFC on FS 1 grew significantly in the past 24 hours including the addition of a main event between light heavyweights Chael Sonnen-Mauricio Rua. Another noteworthy rumble recently booked for the Boston show pits two of the bantamweight division's most talented pugilists against each other in the form of Brad Pickett-Michael McDonald.
UFC Tonight confirmed the August 17 meeting between Pickett-McDonald on this week's episode.
The 23-7 Pickett picked up a decision over Mike Easton in April to earn his third triumph in four fights. He also holds past victories over Ivan Menjivar, Yves Jabouin, and Demetrious Johnson.
McDonald saw his record drop to 15-2 in February after falling to interim champ Renan Barao. However, prior to the stumble he'd won eight straight and can boast finishes in all but two of his successful showings.

Metal Storm the Australian company that is developing rapid fire electronic gun systems attended. They have received some contracts with the US Military to work on their systems. Metal Storm uses multiple barrel system with a stack of ammunition in them. By firing electronically they can launch all of the ready rounds very quickly. Rates of fire for their larger systems are very impressive and their is a lot of potential for them. No nation yet has committed a large sum to buying these systems, which range in size from 9mm to 40mm; although it is probably scalable to larger rounds.
See the press release at MarketWatch.com.
Here is a link to the demonstration video they used at AUSA.

In this lesson, you'll create a short promotional video, using more advanced settings and controls for animation.
Using video footage that comes to us courtesy of the Oakland Ballet, you will create a composition for a 10-second bumper to be used for a fictitious television special on ballet. A bumper is a short clip, similar to a commercial, informing TV viewers of what's coming up. They are usually shown before a commercial; the opening credits of the actual program follow the commercial.
This lesson builds on your knowledge of setting keyframes and expands on the concept of animating layers over space and time.
As you create this project, you will focus on using the Basic Text effect for creating text "on the fly," changing duration and In points and Out points of layers, and modifying a motion path.
This lesson covers the following topics:
Trimming a layer
Using the Basic Text effect
Copying and pasting keyframes
Aligning and distributing layers
Defining spatial and temporal interpolation
Creating and modifying a motion path
Using roving keyframes
At the end of this lesson, you'll have a 10-second bumper for a television special.
It should take approximately 3 to 5 hours to complete this project.
