On Wednesday, federal investigators removed several boxes from NIU's police department. Officials won't say what they are looking for on the DeKalb campus. They would say the NIU warrant is part of ongoing investigation involving Illinois State Police, the U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
"They are executing a search warrant on an ongoing investigation. The university is cooperating fully in this matter," Brad Hoey, NIU spokesperson, said.
Just a couple of weeks ago, Donald Grady was dismissed from his post as NIU police chief for allegedly mishandling a rape investigation. While this current search is not believed to be related to Grady's dismissal, the former police chief's attorney, Mike Fox, said Grady had asked the FBI to assist him in an investigation, which became known as the coffee fund investigation, in October before he was placed on administrative leave.
"We don't know that his request to the FBI is related to this search," Fox said. "All we know is that it wasn't long after the chief made the request, he was put on administrative suspension."
Eight people were indicted in the coffee fund investigation in which university employees were accused of recycling NIU-owned scrap metal for their personal benefit. That case is still pending.
"From Chief Grady's standpoint, he welcomes an examination of every record in his department. We are currently contesting the propriety of his termination. It is our expectation that any examination of records will only serve the chief well," Mike Fox, attorney for former police chief, said.
The FBI will not comment on whether Wednesday's search is related to Chief Grady or the coffee fund investigation, saying only that they will release more if and when arrests are made. NIU wouldn't comment either, but they were quick to point out what the investigation is not about.
"The activity is not in response to a public safety concern. I want to emphasize that. It's not in response to a public safety concern," Hoey said.

Carnaval on TV – Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil
Carnaval on TV
Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil
(Disclaimer: I really should give more space to Carnaval, I know; but the REAL, everyday, black-beans-and-rice family in Brazil experiences Carnaval like many of us in the US experience the ball drop on New Year's – on TV.)
|Carnaval Float
For months all these schools have been meeting at nights and weekends perfecting ostentatious floats, costumes (or lack thereof), and their walking/dancing choreography. Before each school gets started, the reporters go up to all of the main people and ask them questions about stuff I don't understand, while I just sit in my folding chair propped in the living room wondering when the real thing is gonna get goin'. Then finally, finally! the first school is ready.
1:10 a.m. Beija Flor's music leaders – a gang of about 15 guys in a side staging area – are belting out their chosen musical chant/song thing that they'll repeat for the next 40 minutes, while the mob of people in crazy outfits – orange, yellow, and white – start their presentation for the crowd amassed above. You'd think hearing a song over and over for 45 minutes would be rough, and you'd be right. But the parade of color is enough to compensate.
|One Last Shot
2:15 a.m. The shame of drooling in front of scantily clad 7-inch-tall dancers and the shame of actually turning off such a magical spectacle collide, and I'm caught in the gooey middle. After contorting my face in self-disgust, I decide to give in to my tired eyes and reach for the power button. The room goes black, and I zombie-walk to my bedroom, the buzz of the still-hot TV fading away and the images of those misplaced jewels burned on my brain.
I'll sleep well.

I should add a caveat here… 'of varying degrees of quality'.
There are definitely six examples here, but I would suggest that only four and a half are actually 'innovative'.
I'll start with the best one, which is the reason why I began this journey in the first place. Well that and an uncharacteristic wave of festive spirit after enjoying a post-lunchtime liqueur chocolate. Then if you can tread with increasing amounts caution through the remaining examples, that would be great.
So with the formalities dispensed with, let's begin...
Mcdonald's 'Festive Countdown'
The '100 McDonald's moments' campaign is an HTML5 infinite grid style canvas, that users can explore on any device.
McDonald's has added an advent calendar to the campaign.
Clicking (or swiping if you're on a smartphone) unlocks a simple piece of animation that illustrates a customer's small-enough-to-be-tweeted story.
Exploring the infinite grid is a deeply satisfying experience, if just for the animation of the grids popping up in quasi 3D and the way it zooms in and out of the landscape.
Nokia's 'Zoom Project'
As part of its charity work, Nokia has spotlighted several causes that it believes deserves more support in its charity calendar.
Six reporters, representing the different charities, have been tasked with telling their respective stories only using the Nokia Lumia 1020.
Using the tabs at the right side, you can zoom in and out of the hi-res picture. You can also drag and drop the comment icon, add your own story, and let other users find it when they click on the respective speech-mark icon.
You can support the different charities with a like, tweet, share or comment, and the cause with the most support will receive a donation from Nokia.
Two advent calendars in. So good, so far.
Giraffe's 'Treat-a-day giveaway'
The restaurant chain immediately presents you with this pop-up when visiting its site, which is tantamount to harrassment if you're not feeling particularly jovial that day.
Opening the door reveals a short piece of Flash animation (take that iPhone user), and your treat of the day.
This particular 'treat' was a lengthy PDF file on how to decorate a Christmas tree properly.
To be fair, at least I learnt something (I certainly won't be hanging baubles from the tips of branches any longer!) and there's a button that says 'please don't show me this advent calendar again', mercifully.
Headline's prize advent calendar
Some companies are offering competition based advent calendars, where the user can enter a prize draw on that specific day only.
There's nothing too cost heavy for the publisher, but day one's prize of signed David Beckham books was a good incentive to keep coming back.
Bloomsbury's bizarre guinea pig calendar
I did warn you.
Winning absolutely zero prizes for design here, especially bearing in mind this is Bloomsbury, the publisher of Harry Potter. Here's another publisher's attempt at a prize advent calendar.
To credit Bloomsbury, the prizes are pretty good. To criticise the publisher, the closing dates are way too generous and they use the same picture of a guinea pig every single day.
I realise that I shouldn't have even bothered using this as an example, but I'm locked into my own remit here, and I felt it was important to highlight how half-arsed this is. Makes me feel nostalgic about Giraffe.
I dread what's coming next.
National Museums Liverpool's educational advent calendar
Well this is not too bad after all.
It's cute, it's nicely animated and more importantly, when you click on a door you get an exclusive artefact with a piece of 'interesting historical information'.
I'll leave you with this picture of a zebra in a children's hospital.
Well I've learnt my lesson.
I shan't return to this subject next year.
For more festive tomfoolery, here's a post on the slightly bonkers new Argos christmas gift site.
Comments (7)
I thought I'd just stop by to point out that the giraffe advert calendar is actually mobile friendly. It's a mixture of CSS and SVG animation, no flash to be found. There is even a mobile specific version here:
So, please think (and right click) before accusing people of flashing in the future...
Merry Christmas!
p.s. The way your reCaptcha refreshes the whole page when you attempt to refresh the image is really user friendly, I love writing comments twice. I'm surprised none of your commenters have picked up on that yet.
Hi Christopher,
Enjoyed your article. You're obviously experiencing online-advent-calendar fatigue, but here's just one more - from charity Citizens Advice.
Let us know what you think!
How about M&S International ?
How about M&S International ?
Agree - M&S one is the best by miles
The McDonald's one is fantastic, in my opinion.
Friendly on tablets and phones and the whole swiping around experience is really nice. But I can't for the life of me figure out how they did it - the code seems really well hidden, so do the images! I'd love to try my skills and recreating it!

By Middle School Faculty and Cross Country Coach Susan Leonard
On the first day of practice in hot August, we looked at a team of nearly 30 who needed to learn how to run 2 miles with only a little over 2 weeks before the first meet. We wanted each and every one to cross the finish line with dignity. We rallied the parents for popsicles & water, ice & wet rags, & quickly defined a new benchmark of success. Day 2 we said, "No one runs alone." We told the children "If you come in first, run to the last runner and run them in." Our idea was that if the first ran to the last, then the last would feel encouraged to run harder & stronger. Equally we told the fastest runners that by doing so the first only gets stronger. "What good is it to come in first and sit on the ground?," we asked, as each ran in and dropped at our feet. Over time the lines began to blur over who was first, or last, as the first was last and the last first. Coaches began to lead without leading, as children taught each other to run. In an individual sport like Cross Country, we found this team philosophy to be paramount to building individual strength, but more it built and coalesced a team. Without our knowing, the Gospel had dropped from our hearts to our laps and onto our shoelaces.
The moment we realized the idea crystallized was at practice. A middle schooler, on their own volition, ran back to a surprised parent who decided to run with the team that day (we had several parents join us, and often), and said, "I'm going to run with you, because no one runs alone." But it was at our first meet at Rockbridge Academy that the MS XC team proved themselves. This first meet was a trail run on a tough course. Most of our runners crossed the finish line with white forlorn faces, many gasping without breath, one needed to be carried to the tent as she had sprinted the whole race. Spent, our team disbanded to the Eagles tent for water, and in some cases, under shaded trees for first aid. But within minutes, one by one and on their own, our team began to run back to the course to find the last runner and run him in to the finish. As adults, we held our faces as tears streamed and as other teams stared, took pictures, and in some cases looked curious and confused.
We placed 6th, then 5th, then tied for 4th, and finally ended the season in 3rd place. One team member exclaimed at our end-of-season team party, "If only we had a few more weeks! We'd get first!" Our biggest victory however came not only at that first meet at Rockbridge or even at the last at Indian Creek when our team came in 3rd place and shepherded in our final runner in a spade of gold at the finish, but when a stranger from another team called us to say "Thank you." He was a father of a runner from a competitor school. He called to say "Thank you" to the team because our team ran in his daughter. He shared many personal details of her difficulties and struggles in sports and in life, and explained
how his daughter often finished in last place and in tears. This time though she finished not with tears but with a smile. He asked her why and she told him what the AACS team did for her was "awesome." Other children she never met ran her into the finish line because "no one runs alone."
Our Middle School Cross Country Team showed each other, this young girl, and the wider community what Grace looks like, and in doing so, became stronger athletes. The children at the end of our season picked bible verses that embodied the Spirit of their team. Here are a few: "So I run with purpose in every step." 1 COR 9:26; "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God" 1 COR 10:31; "They will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31; "If anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor's crown unless he competes according to the rules." 2 Timothy 2:5, "My only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me – the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace." Acts 20:24.

Wk 40 06/04/2017 THE AWEX EMI fell 43c at auction sales in Australia this week. The EMI, now on 1459c has fallen 87c (-5.6%) over the past two weeks – from the record high 1546c – and whilst the early part of the sale week looked dire for the EMI, Thursday's sale result produced a remarkable change in buyer sentiment which resulted in the market recovering some of the lost ground.
The largest weekly falls remained in the 16-19.5 MPG's, with modest falls measured in the 20 MPG and coarser Merinos. Despite the direction change, the three centres closed with scattered price levels between the north and south with the Fremantle MPG's showing improved signs thanks to the time line differences, which augers well for next week's sale. Skirtings mirrored the fleece with Cardings suffering a substantial correction this week. Crossbreds held their ground and whilst variable across the MPG's, centres reflected the smaller offerings in these types moving forward.
The good news was in the forward contracts – at the week's end they are now BID on or above the cash price out to June 17. Next week 46,104 bales will be offered, with the focus on the Royal Sydney Easter Show sale under the microscope and should be met with new vigour.
Fine and Superfine Merino prices are still in the top percentile band with the medium micron MPG's in the top 20th percentile. Still amazing prices given our recent history. ~ Marty Moses
Southern Aurora Wool Forward wool report- Mike Avery: The deep retraction in prices in the auction had a minor impact on the forward markets. Prices for came off around 20 cents while the spot market reduced 50 to 80 cents, particularly in the finer microns. Most forward interest surrounded the 18 and 19 microns as buyers held their forward prices, especially into the spring, having anticipated the fall as demand became constricted by historically high levels.
Volumes were low as both buyer and seller struggle to ascertain fair value with such volatility. 19 microns traded close to their cash level for May and June (1800) and at 1725 into the new season. More growers were looking towards options to manage their risk this week. Their strategy was to pay between 2 and 3 percent option premium to protect their downside, while being able to participate should the market reverse the current downward correction.
We expect bidding interest to be maintained at these lower levels as we move into the Easter recess.

Okay, I've been very bad about blogging my knitting. But if you've been trying to follow this blog (all 2 of you) you know that.
So I've made some mitts, and some socks, and I'll post pictures of them eventually.
But for right now, I just finished a couple of the pocket mice from Knitted Animals by Anne-Dorthe Grigaff.
Well, mostly from that book. I did modify them more than a little. Added whiskers, because mice need whiskers. And I used beads for eyes, not thread, because they're not going to small children, and mice need beady little eyes. And I added some yarn to be their front paws, because they needed stability. And the third one (on the bottom) I changed the knitting on the head, because I wanted it to be more centered. And I put in a couple sewing stitches in their shoulder blades, like the book says to do with the ducklings, to give them some shaping between the head and body.
But except for all that, they're the ones from the book!
They took less than 2 hours each to do. I think they're adorable. What do you guys think?

Supporting study for the Fitness Check on the construction sector: EU internal market and energy efficiency legislation
This study is intended to support the European Commission's Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme (REFIT) Sectoral Fitness Check of the Construction Sector, expected to be published in the spring of 2017. The Sectoral Fitness Check aims at examining how various EU legal acts impact on the construction sector, and at identifying possible areas of improvement, including reduction of regulatory costs and burdens and a better alignment of provisions, if applicable. The analysis included evaluating the efficiency, coherence, effectiveness, relevance and EU added value of most relevant provisions of EU legislation, with respect to the objectives for a more competitive and sustainable construction sector, in particular for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Particular attention was paid to identifying any synergy or inefficiencies arising from these acts.

"The first thing to understand is that the public peace of cities is not kept primarily by the police, necessary as police are. It is kept primarily by an intricate, almost unconscious, network of voluntary controls and standards among the people themselves, and enforced by the people themselves. … No amount of police can enforce civilization where the normal, casual enforcement of it has broken down (Jane Jacobs 1961)".
"Proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to the reduction in the fear of crime and the incidence of crime, and to an improvement in the quality of life (C. Ray Jeffery 1972)".

Is a Fairfax VA DUI a felony? Driving under the influence or a DUI happens when an officer arrests you for infraction of drunk driving laws. A DUI stop happens if an officer sees tell-tale signs of violating basic traffic regulations, slow driving and swerving in-between lanes. The series of tests that occurs when an officer is trying to determine if you are drunk driving is called field sobriety tests. The tests include physical ones such as touching your nose, reciting the alphabet without slurring, walking in a straight line and turning, and standing on one foot. Afterward, the officer will use a PBT, preliminary breath test, a device to test your blood alcohol level. If you fail all the criteria of the test, then you will face the jurisdiction of Virginia law, and this is important to distinguish if your DUI charge is a misdemeanor or felony.
Is a Fairfax VA DUI a felony? Need Help Right Now?
No Obligation FREE Consultation
What is a felony? Felony sentences happen when more serious crimes are committed and are punishable by maximum federal consequences. These consequences include a fine of 2500 dollars for a class 6 felony, all the way up to the death sentence and a fine of $100,000 for a class 1 felony.
When is a DUI charge considered a felony? Your first two DUI arrests will result in a misdemeanor, but when charged a third time, it now becomes a felony. A felony on your record will have dire consequences in regards to your family life, employment, and validation of your license.
If you hire a drunk driving attorney in Fairfax, VA, you will have to know the difference between a misdemeanor and felony to know what to expect from the trial. Your lawyer will need your entire record to see if he/she can find ways to reduce your sentence. Your cooperation will be required because your personal testimony is important for your lawyer to find ways in using other laws to help your case.

Online app Monday.com (formerly dapulse) is a team collaboration tool that looks like it was spawned by multi-person spreadsheets. Collaborators create boards made up of rows and columns. Each row is a task, or "pulse." Each column is an attribute related to that task and you get to choose its value, whether task status, assignee, due date, and so forth. It makes a little more sense when you see it on the screen; images below. Monday.com is slick and responsive, which makes it easy to use. It also has tools for discussing work, with intuitive features. The app has a lot going for it, although it's missing a few important features that would make it better, and it's a little expensive for what it offers.
Pricing and Plans
If you want to try Monday.com, you can sign up for a free 14-day trial, but after that you have to pay. There is no unlimited free account. There are four plans, each with different features and pricing. For any of Monday.com's plans, you can choose to pay monthly, annually, or for two years at a time, with greater discounts for longer commitments.
It's difficult to compare Monday.com's pricing with those of other collaboration services because it charges a rate for a group of users, with a minimum of five, rather than per person, as most other apps do. In other words, with Monday.com, you can sign up for a plan for up to five people, or up to 10 people, or up to 25 people, and so on. If you have 37 people in your team, you'll need an account that supports up to 50.
The first tier of service, called Basic, costs $29 per month for up to five people. You can also pay annually or for two years upfront, which costs $300 or $504, respectively, for five people. Beyond the minimum group of five, the pricing works out to be roughly $5 per person per month for the Basic account when paid annually, but again, keep in mind that you may end up paying for more seats than you actually use. The Basic plan includes 5GB of storage, an unlimited number of boards, and 24/7 support. You only get simple search functionality in the Basic plan, and you can only filter views by person, which is limiting.
Basic users also miss out on the ability to share boards with guests, external integrations, an API, and a Timeline feature that's similar to a Gantt chart view. For many businesses, being able to share boards with people outside the organization is important, as it's the easiest way to give clients and third-party collaborators visibility into your progress on work that concerns them.
The second tier of service, called Standard, starts at $48 per month for up to five people. The annual and two-year options run $468 and $768, respectively, for a group of up to five people. At those rates, Monday.com includes everything in the Basic plan, plus advanced search functionality, all filtering options, unlimited boards, external integrations, the ability to share boards with an unlimited number of guests, an API, and Timelines. The storage increases to 50GB.
The third tier of service is called Pro, and it starts at $72 per month for up to five people. You can instead pay $708 up front for one year, or $1,176 for two years, again for a group of up to five. The Pro plan includes everything in Standard, plus private boards for each user, detailed activity stats, the option to use Google authentication, and customized user profiles. Storage is unlimited at this tier.
Finally, the fourth level of service is Enterprise, starting at $144 per month for up to five people. Pay annually, and it's $1,416. Pay for two years upfront, and it's $2,352. The Enterprise account includes everything from Pro, plus VIP support, one-on-one training, a two-factor authentication option, advanced security features, and an audit log.
Another reason it's tricky to compare pricing with other services is because I haven't seen an app that's quite like Monday.com. Collaboration apps don't all do the same thing, with some offering a lot more than others. Two reasonably close contenders, however, are Asana and Trello, both of which have much lower starting rates.
Asana has a free version for teams up to 15 people, which has some limits in its functionality. Asana Premium costs about $120 per person per year (it's advertised as $9.99 per person per month, but you have to pay annually to get that price). At that rate, you get unlimited dashboards, advanced search and reporting tools, the ability to create custom fields, and more.
Trello is slightly more lightweight, but still roughly comparable, and it offers a truly free account, just as Asana does. A Business Class Trello account costs the same as Asana Premium: about $120 per person per year.
Another app worth comparing with Monday.com is Podio. Podio is a highly customizable online workspace, and you can add apps to it as needed. Depending on your setup, it could have a lot of the same functionality as Monday.com. Podio's prices are $9 per person per month for Basic, $14 per person per month for Plus, and $24 per person per month for Premium.
What Is Monday.com?
As I said earlier, Monday.com looks like it evolved from collaborative spreadsheets. The initial setup is a simple grid, and you choose what goes into it. What would be sheets are here called boards, and you can have more than one of them in view at any given time. It shares some similarities with kanban apps, although there are differences as well.
As mentioned, each row is called a pulse. Given the product name change, this term isn't as relevant as it used to be, but it's still the word used throughout the company's help pages, so it's good to know if you use the product. In any event, each pulse typically contains a task. The columns are different attributes of that task, and you can define them as you like. For example, you might have different columns dedicated to different states of completion. Let's say the task is to fulfill an online order. The first column might indicate whether payment has been received. Is it owed, pending, or paid? The person in charge of monitoring payments could update this cell. The next column might indicate whether the items have been assembled for shipping. A person in the fulfillment department could update the cell to say whether the order is ready to go. Perhaps the column after that notes if the items are packed and if a shipping label has been printed.
When you set up an account, you customize all these fields for each board, and that can take both time and some trial and error. In that regard, Monday.com reminds me of Asana. Both apps are so highly customizable that there's no right or wrong way to use them. It can take considerable time to figure out the best workflow for your team.
While refining your processes may require patience, learning how to use Monday.com takes no time at all. It's highly intuitive, as well as slick and responsive. Actions rarely require more than one or two button presses. You can drag and drop elements to rearrange them on the page. Commenting and discussion tools are just as intuitive to anyone who's used social media in the last five years.
You can organize your boards into folders using a collapsible left rail. Here, you can also manage which boards are shared with outside clients, which are visible to all team members, and which are private only to you.
For boards with deadlines, an optional timeline can display directly above your board. It resembles a Gantt chart, showing tasks as spanner bars that spread across the dates when the work will be done. But you can tell right away that it's not a true Gantt chart because there are no task dependencies.
With a Standard, Pro, or Enterprise plan, Monday.com includes API access, meaning if your team knows how to build custom integrations, they can have at it. For the less technical among us, the app is supported by Zapier. Zapier is a tool that lets anyone connect online apps and services in different ways, even if they don't know how to write code. Belonging to the Zapier network opens up a lot of possibilities for Monday.com users.
Another standard integration is the ability to connect to Google Calendar, but it's a one-way integration. So dates and deadlines from Monday.com can show up in your Google Calendar, but you can't put items on your calendar and have them show up in Monday.com.
Speaking of calendars, I wish there were a team calendar that showed not only deadlines added to boards, but also other relevant team scheduling, such as meetings, holidays, and so forth. The app's timeline is meant to be something like a team calendar, but it doesn't cater well to people who prefer to see a standard grid calendar. It also doesn't include any calendar items that aren't also logged somewhere on a board as a pulse. It might be useful to be able to tell the whole team the office will be closed the day after Thanksgiving without creating a board and pulse for it.
Room for Improvement
Setting up and customizing my test account, easy as it was, felt cumbersome and more time-consuming than I expected. Creating the attributes of the boards didn't feel as productive as listing all my tasks and milestones, setting deadlines, and doing the other initial steps that it takes to set up a project in a project management app. You can add those details to Monday.com (although there isn't a milestone marker per se; you'd have to invent your own way of signaling one), but you first have to decide how the boards themselves will look. The result is you get the customized experience you want, but it takes time.
As much as I like the timeline feature, the fact that it doesn't support dependencies is disappointing. Many Gantt charts have the option to link tasks together. Let's say task C can't be done until task B is complete, and task B can't commence until task A is finished. So tasks B and C are dependent on A, and C is also dependent on B. Ideally, a team wants to see these dependencies visually, and in Gantt charts that support them, they would likely appear as thin lines connecting the tasks. More importantly, they stay connected if one task's deadline shifts. If task A is late by two days, we'd want the deadlines for tasks B and C to also move forward by two days. Many project management app include this functionality, but Monday.com doesn't.
Other missing features include recurring tasks, markup tools, and a general team discussion area that's unaffiliated with a particular task or board. Having the ability to setup a recurring task is not only important to teams, but also a time-saver. You can duplicate a task in Monday.com very easily, but doing that every day or every week is a waste of time.
Markup tools, meaning digital pens and highlighters for PDFs and images, help teams that use a lot of visual material because they facilitate discussion better than text alone. If you want the ability to open a file right in your browser and draw on it, consider the project management app Volerro. You can highlight an area of a document or image and type comments about it that your collaborators will be able to see as well. Igloo, which is more of a workplace collaboration space than a cut-and-dried project management platform, also has PDF markup tools as well as a star ratings on uploaded documents, letting you easily see which files your teammates liked more than others.
Fluid but Missing Features
There's much to like in Monday.com. The service's strong suit is its fluidity and ease of use. It's attractive, and it functions smoothly. The app also has optional desktop notifications, as well as mobile apps for keeping up with the team's work when any team member is not at a workstation. As a cutting-edge team collaboration tool, Monday.com certainly looks the part. However, it's missing a few significant features, and it's expensive. I wouldn't steer anyone away from using Monday.com, but I would recommend looking at a few other apps first to see if they are a better fit for less money. You won't find anything perfectly comparable, but Asana and Podio (both Editors' Choices) are well worth considering, as is Trello.

Kassadin Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I will warn you before you read on, kassadin is for commited users, he is a hard champ to use, but one of the most rape champs in the game
with kassadin i go with the 9-0-21, everything is what it is
these are not solid, but you do want to base this on your null sphereReason? because kassadin can use this over and over and pull champs out of action (recall) very quick, and allows you to help you lane mate out from stoping then enemy from using abilites
you want to build kassadins skills to what you need, if your always out of mana and have no gold of the chalice of harmony, you might want to build nether blade, and kill some minions, i do jungle every once in a while, the mana buff is useful
Force push is basicly used in combo with your riftwalk, its used to either mine minions, chase and slow running champs, or taunting. you can walk up and forcepush and rift out or the other way around is what i normaly do, it makes the enemy think a charge is in effect, except for if your getting raped... then your just ******ed for doing a taunt anyways
Riftwalk is you last resort, reason? because god forbid that you need to escape 'now' and you used it for a charge, well it may have a short cooldown but still... use it for chaseing and escaping, unless your charge is a sure thing... example... poor weak champs all alone, by god charge in and rape him, or last kills, it does enough damage to finish a enemy on really low health
the runes are set up to keep you in game without a recall every 5 seconds, because kassadin uses mana like crazy and hes really squishy, he is to stay behind a lane partner, unless you mid (which i will get too)
i learned this build over time and talking to people, the trit force is key, it basicly gives kassadin everything he needs, attack speed, mana, and health (big one)
when you build it i go with the zeal first, then sheen, and phage last
its not there but a tear of the goddess could be used early-mid game to perm again max mana, then remove it when you need space, the other item that is removed is the first item you get the Vampiric Scepter
soulstealer should be bought early on so you can build stacks, and the boots are important to give that little edge on chases and escapes... even more than he already has
Top or Bottom
you want to pick a lane with a team mate that can "hold" the line
what i mean by that is someone that isnt afraid to be a few inches ahead of you
YOU MUST BE BEHIND**** This is key- kassadin is so frail everyone will want to kill you
and once you stary getting owned its over, they all go after you first
thats where the runes come in! save your life
once in your lane, you will want to use the null sphere to slowly drain there health and keep them back so your lanemate can get minion kills in peace, as of with you... keep your null sphere on ready as you mine the minions or your riftwalk if you have it.
when chasing is the time you come out of the back and use your riftwalk-forcepush-nullsphere combo, remember to use your nether blade if you will be attacking your enemy with you basic attack, it increases your armor pen.
Turrent huggers
yay for you here, you can charge and escape with ease, chances are they are scared of you if they are that close to there turrent, all you need to do is null sphere them and rift walk out... or walk out in some cases if there close enough
this is actually a good option for kassadin, you just may have to turrent hug until you level to 6 for your ult, depends on the enemy champ, if hes ranged most likly, if not, good for you... null sphere again and again when he comes close, mid can give you level up alot faster... which is much needed!... ALWAYS WATCH THE MINI MAP
reason, you cant always depend on your team mates to mia you, so when you see that a champ headed down the river (middle alley)... this means run till you know a gank wont happen, if you get ganked while under level 6 your dead... and most likly the turrent is lost
just things to keep in mind
*you are very very frail
*you depend on leveling up fast
*null sphere is your most needed skill
*you are jungle chaser master
*most of all, kassadin is rape in pure form!
Lucky noob hunting

Zoom in
It's finally here! The series finale of "No Refuge"! Previously: During the battle for Eden, the Prophet approached Jake. The Prophet revealed the Crown is not from Earth and have come to cleanse the world of the wicked and open the way for the Second Coming of Christ.
About this creation
Music for this part:
The Prophet flew down to the dig site.
He walked toward the Bishop.
The Bishop handed him the Grail.
The Prophet: "At last. A new era is about to come forth. Once the poles are flipped, the sun will do the rest."
The Prophet placed the Grail on the machine.
The entire platform began to slowly rise.
The Prophet: "Get to the shuttles."
Meanwhile, the battle in the street continued.
Loch: "Ashlin! We gotta get out of here! There's too many!"
Ashlin: "Rachel! How's that thruster coming?"
Rachel: "Nearly done!"
On the roof, Jake backed away from the soldiers.
They readied their guns.
Jake stopped...
Then sprinted right at them.
He kicked a soldier off the roof.
He took the gun of another...
and threw him to the ground.
He shot the remaining soldier...
and then the general.
Jake ran toward the AA gun.
He ran up it...
and jumped.
Rachel: "Finished!"
Rachel: "Hey! Thruster's ready! Let's go!"
Loch: "Everyone! Back to the ship!"
Ashlin: "What about Jake?"
Loch: "No time."
Ashlin: "But-"
Ashlin got shot in the shoulder.
On the roof, Jake dodged another blow from the Hunter.
The Hunter swung again, nearly missing Jake."
Jake kicked the sword from the Hunters hand.
The Hunter swung its sword down at Jake.
Jakes pistol fell through the air.
He rolled over, missing another blow...
and lunged toward the other sword.
The Hunter ran to the edge of the roof...
and jumped.
Jake ran over to Kira.
He cut the rope.
Kira: "I knew you'd come for me. Thank you."
Jake: "It's not over yet."
"I'm gonna get you out of here."
Jake ran to the edge of the roof.
Jake: "Ashlin!"
Ashlin looked up.
Jake: I need you to get to the roof of the other building and get Kira out of here!"
Ashlin sat up.
Jake: "Tie this to the roof door."
Jake jumped down toward the Hunter.
The Hunter blocked the blow...
But Jake stabbed it in the neck.
Just then, Ashlin came up the ladder.
Jake: "Kira! Throw the rope down!"
Jake caught the rope...
and Kira slid down it.
Jake: "Ashlin, get Kira to the ship. You guys need to get out of here."
Kira: "What? No! We won't leave without you!"
Jake: "You have to. I have to stop them before it's too late. You need to get out of here."
Kira ran to Jake and hugged him.
Kira: "You can't stay here. You have to come back."
Jake: I don't know if I will. I'm doing this for you. So you can be safe."
Jake: "I have to do this."
Ashlin: "Come on. We need to go."
Jake used the rope to get closer to the ground."
He walked into the dig site.
Suddenly, a hardsuit tried crushing him.
Jake fell to the ground.
The Prophet: "This ends now, boy!
Kira and Ashlin climbed onto the dropship.
Loch: "Let's go!"
The ship rose into the air.
Jake continued running from The Prophet.
The Prophet fired at Jake.
Jake fell to the ground, arm throbbing.
He rolled over...
Only to have the Prophet crush him.
The Prophet: "You can't stop it Jake! Interrupting the process will still result in destruction!"
Jake reached for his pistol...
and fired.

The fourth part of this series looks at the traditional gallery space. Admittedly I know least about the traditional art space and running a gallery. However, if you look at the top four stats given by the report on galleries to me you have an industry on its heels and in survival mode.
- 74% of the galleries surveyed believe online art sales will grow by less than 10% in the next 12 months.
- 82% worry about reaching and finding the right clients.
- 55% are concerned about not having a face-to-face relationship with their clients.
- 36% of galleries don't yet have a clear online sales strategy.
Of course, galleries aren't going to be selling a lot online (59% still say this channel accounts for less than 5% of total sales) the question is, why do few adapt? 27% of galleries said they plan to partner with an online platform to sell their art. But are you surprised, CEO of 1stDibs Rosenblatt says "To date we've seen almost no adaptation . . . So far it appears it has not been a priority for them." And the results are astounding, small and medium sized galleries continue to close.
The two questions I have are: How do artists fit into this if most online platforms are designed to be the intermediary? If online galleries are trying to go offline and offline galleries are trying to go online, where do synergies form?
Artist + Gallery + Online Gallery =
Let's consider galleries trying to use third party sites as sales channels, which I think that is smart, but the question is what then does the artist get out of having a relationship with the gallery in the first place rather than going directly to the online platforms? I suppose the gallery would continue to add value to the artist in the form of services (storing and shipping their work) for pieces sold online, writing their bios, or creating content which could really help them sell online (talked about this in Part II); in addition to showcasing their work at their location, galleries can take these pieces to art fairs, etc. Overall, I am not sure selling with offline galleries (who take 50%) is a good deal for the artist; but if it helps artists sell more than they would in the physical gallery space then that is more money for the artist. I could see galleries playing more of an agency model role, similar to what Andreessen Horowitz did in VC or CAA did for Actors. I think the agency model would be beneficial to both parties.
Cyborgs of the Art World
If online galleries are setting up offline galleries, and offline galleries want to go online, at what point are we able to separate the two. It would make more sense (to me) for the two areas to partner. In fact, what if online galleries partnered with one offline gallery in say 30 different cities. The offline gallery would devote say x% of space to artists from the online gallery, and the online gallery would further promote the offline galleries artists / give them more commission. I realize brand, representation, and art world bullshit could make this difficult; however, there are online and offline galleries with a variety of looks and feels so inevitably you would find synergy. It's also a great risk-free way to pilot something.
I do believe that it is important for online galleries to have an offline presence. But I also believe it's not economically feasible to sustain a single brick and mortar space. I would create a pop up (moving gallery), do one a month and hold them not just in commercial spaces but also in the homes of your buyers. Invite all of your collectors/browsers in the area as well as artists. This would give it a more accessible feel and a sense of community. Have some wine and a string quartet and for little money you could create a magical experience that will help engage your artists, build your buyer community and spread word of mouth all for a fraction of the cost.
The Future
Now that I've addressed the future of the art market's various platforms (both on and offline), it's necessary to discuss what this all means for the most important people who make all this possible: the artists. In my next post, I will be addressing the 'forgotten artist' and his/her place in the online art market. Where did the online art market fall short in assisting artists? How can we improve the artist's experience? These are some of the topics that will be discussed next week; stay tuned 🙂

Nutritional Regulation of GLUT Expression, Glucose Metabolism, and Intramuscular Fat Content in Porcine Muscle
Katsumata, M.; Kaji, Y.; Takada, R.; Dauncey, M.J.;
We conducted a series of investigations in order to elucidate role of nutritional status in regulating GLUT expression and energy metabolism in porcine muscle. Firstly, the role of mild undernutrition in regulating muscle GLUT gene expression and function was studied in growing pigs (3 wk of age) on a high (H) or low (L) food intake (H = 2L) at
. Low food intake selectively upregulates GLUT1 and GLUT4 gene expression; mRNA levels were elevated in longissimus dorsi (L. dorsi) and rhomboideus muscles but not in diaphragm or cardiac muscles. Our next step was to determine whether dietary lysine, a major primary limiting amino acid in diets for pigs, affects muscle GLUT4 expression. Pigs of 6 wk of age were pair-fed a control or low lysine (LL) diet. The control diet contained optimal amounts of all essential amino acids, including 1.15% lysine. The LL diet was similar but contained only 0.70% lysine. GLUT4 mRNA expression was upregulated by the LL diet in L. dorsi and rhomboideus muscles, whereas that in cardiac muscle was unaffected. GLUT4 protein abundance was also higher in rhomboideus muscle of animals on the LL diet. We conducted another investigation in order to elucidate effects of the LL diet on post-GLUT4 glucose metabolism. Activity of hexokinase was unaffected by dietary lysine levels while that of citrate synthase was higher both in L. dorsi and rhomboideus muscles of pigs fed on the LL diet. Glucose 6-phosphate content was higher in L. dorsi msucle in the LL group. Glycogen content was higher both in L. dorsi and rhomboideus muscles in the LL group. Further, we determined the effects of dietary lysine levels on accumulation of intramuscular fat (IMF) in L. dorsi muscle of finishing pigs. A low lysine diet (lysine content was 0.40%) meeting approximately 70% of the requirement of lysine was given to finishing pigs for two months. IMF contents in L. dorsi of the pigs given the low lysine diet were twice higher than those of the pigs fed on a control diet (lysine content was 0.65%). Finally, we proved that a well known effect of breadcrumbs feeding to enhance IMF of finishing pigs could be attributed to shortage of amino acids in diets including breadcrumbs.

House prices rise for second month
House prices edged up for the second month in a row in February in a further sign that the market is picking up in 2013, Nationwide reported.
Prices saw a 0.2% month-on-month increase to reach £162,638 on average, following a 0.5% rise in January.
The building society said there have been "tentative signs of a pick-up" in recent months, following the launch of a Government scheme to help borrowers, which has prompted lenders to slash their mortgage rates.
On Thursday, the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) said the number of would-be home-buyers registering with agents has reached its highest level in more than five years. It also reported that sales to first-time buyers are showing a strong increase.
Despite the recent uplift in house prices, average prices are unchanged compared with a year ago, Nationwide said.
Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist, said evidence that the jobs market is improving despite the tough economy is likely to bolster demand from potential buyers in the coming months amid the improved mortgage conditions.
He said: "There are reasons for cautious optimism that activity will gather momentum in the months ahead...
"However, progress is likely to be gradual, as stubbornly high inflation will continue to exert pressure on household budgets. Moreover, buyer confidence is likely to remain fragile until there are signs that the wider economic recovery is firmly entrenched."
The number of mortgages on the market has increased by around one third since the Government introduced its Funding for Lending scheme, which gives lenders access to cheap finance to help borrowers, last August.
There have been signs of lenders stepping up efforts to help people with lower deposits who have been struggling to get on the ladder. These include some fee-free deals being offered by lenders such as the Co-op Bank and a recently launched mortgage from Barclays which helps buyers with a 5% deposit get on the property ladder, provided their parents stump up some cash which is kept in a separate savings account.

Outrun the MoonBook - 2016
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
I loved Mercy Wong so much! She is someone I admire and would love to be friends with. Emily Woo Zeller's narration does a fantastic job of capturing the spirit and determination of Mercy as she not only survives but thrives in the face of the terrible disaster that was the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
I really enjoyed this book and read it in one day. Mercy is a great character - spunky, smart, and funny. Stacey Lee writes in this historical fiction about a Chinese girl living in San Francisco in the early 1900s. She ends up going to a prestigious school for girls and making new friends, and then has to deal with a huge tragedy - the great earthquake of 1906. I found that there were almost too many characters in the book, though, although each one of them was interesting. I recommend this for anyone who likes historical fiction and wants to learn more about a different culture.
Once Mercy is at St. Clare's, the novel focuses on the relationships she is developing with the other girls at the school, particularly Francesca, an Italian-American girl who faces her own teasing about her heritage. When Mr. du Lac proves to be a flaky business partner in their Chinatown venture, Mercy reluctantly allies with his prickly daughter Elodie in order to hold up her end of the bargain. The two girls are never precisely friends, but the evolution of their relationship over the course of the novel is a pleasure to watch. Like Lee's first novel, Under a Painted Sky, Outrun the Moon is most notable for the attention given the relationships between the diverse girls.
Packed with adventure, strong female characters, and inspiring friendships, Stacey Lee's Outrun the Moon explores a time and place often overlooked in young adult fiction. If you love powerful, diverse stories about the past, this is the book for you.

SummaryAdd a Summary
Mercy Wong is the ambitious daughter of a hard-working Chinese-American launderer and a famous fortune teller, trapped in San Francisco's Chinatown with little hope of advancement now that she has finished all the available grades at the Oriental Public School. Never one to back down easily, Mercy contrives a plan to get herself a scholarship to St. Clare's School for Girls, one of the best private institutions in the city. But getting into the school is only half the battle, and when a historic earthquake strikes San Francisco in April 1906, all of Mercy's plans are thrown aside, as she and her classmates struggle to survive in a city that is torn apart and burning.

Oracle Audit Risk Assessment
An Oracle Audit Risk Assessment is a short high-level investigation into the state of your Oracle licence estate. It will provide a report highlighting the risks, complexity and maturity of your Oracle licences, including contractual concerns and likely areas which may be in shortfall. In addition identifying whether you are a likely candidate for an Oracle Audit. This is not a full review, but may lead to further work including a more comprehensive review and optimisation of licences.
Thanks for all the help. The meetings, communications and end report [Risk Assessment] were very useful and I do feel more comfortable about our licensing position as a result.
Reacting to an Oracle Audit puts you on the back foot. Non-compliance can be very costly in terms of time, reputation and money. Oracle may charge not just for the under-license but also for any 'unpaid' back Support fees. Oracle don't have to honour any Price Holds or previous discounts you may have negotiated.
It makes sense to understand the risks you face within your Oracle estate, including possible areas of under-licensing and over-spend on Support. Be proactive and understand any exposure, then plan and budget for this spend. Madora can perform a quick diagnosis to determine whether a more detailed review needs to take place.
A typical Risk Assessment usually lasts between 3 and 5 days. with a day rate of £1,200 +VAT. After an initial meeting we will be able to determine the time to complete the work.
Be Proactive Minimise Your Licence Exposure Today!
Get your Free Risk report and understand if you need to take action.
After an initial meeting, we typically work remotely, using emails and conference calls
The majority of the work will be carried out remotely. However, the initial kick-off workshop and presentation of the findings can be carried out on site.
The work will typically take 3-5 days depending on the size and complexity of your Oracle licence estate. More complex would be a large variety of servers, Technology, Middleware and Applications with many different contracts for products bought over time. A simpler option would perhaps just consist of Technology or a vanilla eBusiness Suite implementation.

Russia accelerates requirement for local Internet control
No comments · Posted by lance in Censorship, Internet, Russia
On September 24, the Russian Duma passed a bill moving the date on which all Internet services must host local data locally from Sept 1, 2016 to Jan 1, 2015. That is an effectively impossible timeline for international Internet companies, which is probably the whole point.
While the bill has not been finally passed, the remaining steps are mostly formality.
Russia is suggesting that foreign firms could rent infrastructure, if they will have no time to build, giving Russia even stronger leverage.
My original post on the law was back in July, and I talked about other Russian Internet control and censorship activity here.

Russia puts a bounty on Tor's head
The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs recently announced a contest to create a method to identify Tor users, with a prize of about $114,000.
Clearly the government is worried about the ability of Tor to allow people to bypass the increasingly draconian Internet laws that have been put in place. This puts a big target on Tor, but people have been working on breaking Tor for years. This year a talk at Black Hat on cracking Tor anonymity was pulled without explanation after it was announced and scheduled.
Being free and well established, Tor has the largest user base of any privacy service, so it is the obvious first target. Its distributed design also introduces paths for attack not available in other designs like Anonymizer Universal.
It will be interesting to see if this move drives Tor users to other services, and whether that in turn leads to expanded efforts to crack those tools.

New Russian law requires data to be stored inside Russia
No comments · Posted by lance in Internet, Russia
Continuing the pattern of Internet restrictions I talked about before, Russia has passed a new law requiring Internet companies to keep the personal data of Russians in data centers within the country. The ostensible reason for this is to protect Russians against US Government snooping (in the wake of the Snowden leaks), and against other outside threats.
The law requires that companies doing business in Russia must open data centers within the borders by 2016 or be blocked.
There are many ways for people motivated to bypass these restriction to access whatever they want, but most people will just use what is available, giving the Russian government more ability to monitor the activities of their citizens themselves.

Russia: To block Twitter, or not to block Twitter
No comments · Posted by lance in Censorship, Russia, Social Networking, Twitter
Russia seems to have a conflicted relationship with Twitter and Internet censorship in general.
While trying to portray themselves as open and democratic, they clearly have a real problem with the radical openness of social media like Twitter.
Maxim Ksenzov, deputy head of Roscomnadzor (Russia's censorship agency), said Twitter is a "global instrument for promoting political information" and that they could block Twitter or Facebook in minutes.
Prime Minister Dimitri Medvedev responded on his Facebook account, saying that state officials "sometimes need to turn on their brains" rather than "announcing in interviews the shutdown of social networks." Which is not quite the same as saying that they would not do so.
The primary desire in Russia is for Twitter and all other social networks to open offices in Russia. That would smooth communications, but also provide leverage to push for censorship or access to data as needed.

Knowledge is power so what
Alright. So, when all this stuff was going –
All this information stuff, this knowledge
Stuff – this medium we move through like air
or water, stuff – was pouring in the ear,
in the pocket, of Boss Google, of Boss
Facebook, this was all okay? The fuss
now suggests so, or more suggests an outrage
not at being bought but being bought
At second hand. There's naught so bad as knowing –
Knowing what you're worth and what you're not.
So now we know; so what are we to do
With this new-won knowledge; so now we know
So what – we always knew, didn't we? So.

April's Recipe of the Month is Pinolillo. Pinolillo is often made during Holy week but can be drunk any time of the year. Since today is Maundy Thursday, we thought this a fitting time to post this recipe.
Pinolillo is a corn and cacao drink made in many villages in Nicaragua. During the two weeks I spent in Nicaragua on an FRB trip in March 2012, our group was served it in most villages we visited. Also called pinol or atol, this type of drink is made in many countries in Central and South America. Of course each country has their own variation and different grains and spices can be used. Often, it is served in a gourd.
We got a demonstration of how to make pinolillo after having it with lunch the day we visited a family in the community of La Pitilla, Nicaragua. It was very refreshing with a meal of red beans, rice, hard boiled eggs, tortillas and chicken. Maria Alèman, wife and mother of the family we visited, walked us through making this drink. There are no real measurements given but the white bowl in the photo made about half a gallon. Also, Maria used whole cloves, whole flakes of cinnamon and whole cacao beans. While ground spices are nice, it would be okay to use the ground cloves and cinnamon we are able to buy in the US. Cacao bean is what chocolate is made out of and 100% cacao bars are purchasable in specialty stores. Powdered chocolate mix is probably a good alternative but be careful when adding sugar as most have sugar added to them already.

2. Mix the toasted corn, cinnamon, clove, cacao together and put in grinder. Pass through several times until the mixture becomes very fine like a powder.
