5 good reasons why you need a Cell Portable Battery Charger
- If you have an iPhone you need a portable battery charger as iPhone have the worst battery known to mankind? An iPhone battery on full charge will only last a couple of hours if you're someone who uses social media a lot and is always on their phone.
- You have multiple devices and run your own business which requires that your devices are fully charged. You have business meeting and you phone battery is down to 5 percent, so you need to call your client and inform them of your late arrival. You need a cellphone portable battery charger.

Examination of Witnesses (Questions 140-145)
140. For you?
(Mrs Furse) For our customers large amounts of money.
141. Yes.
(Mrs Furse) For us rather less money.
142. Do you think this is an areaI am talking here about the consolidation of the settlement systemswhich should be left entirely to market forces or where someI am going to use the term political initiative, you will understand the sense in which I am using itpolitical initiative would be desirable?
(Mrs Furse) I am not sure we can rely on market forces. Martin, do you want to comment?
(Mr Wheatley) Yes. We have been very disappointed, if I am honest, by the market forces having the effect that they should be able to have. The major players in the industry have a lot of customer buying power. They see a situation in clearing and settlement which is going against what they wish to see yet to date, at least, until one or two recent initiatives, have not shown themselves able to muster the necessary will to change that. We have been using our lobbying powers to bring "political" forces to bear on this because I do not think market forces are having the desired effect.
143. Of course you will recognise that the merger of LIFFE and Euronext makes them a very important single player in the future development of settlement systems?
(Mr Wheatley) Yes.
144. We are nearly there. I asked Sir Brian and Jean-François at the end of the last session about their ambitions and the rationale for the merger. They told meand I know you were in the roomthat they wanted to become the dominant player in Europe rivalling Eurex. So we can take it from your evidence this morning that your ambition is still one to be dominant in Europe whether that is in shares, in equities, which you are at the moment, or whether it is in derivatives. You see potential for great growth in both of those areas. This will be influencing your strategy towards the global ambitions which you have. You mentioned that you would be leading the consolidation of the global stock exchanges, that will continue. Lastly, you wish still to get into the trading of derivatives, either by setting up your own operation or by taking over an existing derivatives operation. Would that be a summing up of your position?
(Mrs Furse) Thank you, Chairman.
145. Thank you.
(Mrs Furse) Thank you very much.

Come for a stroll with me. I won't be long. I need to check a few things. It's quite dry underfoot and there's a cool breeze blowing.
Mind, be careful, don't touch the electric fence wire and gate tapes are switched on. We won't go into that paddock. The animals are friendly but they can get frisky when people are about as they expect to be hand fed goodies. They don't realise they're not pet calves anymore.
Gosh, the grass has grown fast even though the cattle ate the paddock out a week ago. The growing conditions are good. The paddock gets topped with the tractor and mower after the cattle are shifted.
Mmm! Just noticed that the cattle troughs need cleaning out. Leaf litter and twigs fell into the water when we had that last lot of windy weather. I'll have to do that soon. The liquid amber is showing its colours. Leaf fall later during autumn means work.
Woops! Didn't mean for us to disturb the mother Pukeko on her nest. The native swamp hens hide their nests well in the grass so we don't always see them.
My favourite place anytime along the stream. We see eels and freshwater mussels in the stream.
It's always tranquil and cool under the totara trees. I'm proud of the way native ferns are regenerating along the stream bank. It's taken lots of hard work over the years to clear inorganic rubbish and pest plants from this area.
Stream protection in New Zealand means "if you have water supplied by a stream, you have an obligation to safeguard the quality of the water leaving your property – for downstream users and for other stream life."
There's a couple dead rats over there. An unpleasant fact of life. I can't bring myself to photograph these creatures. These pests seem to live well off creatures in the stream. We need to reset the poison bait traps. It's an ongoing battle against these pests that also want the yummy food we put out for the chooks. We have predator proof netting on the chook house.
The dwarf heritage Captain Kidd and Golden Delicious apple trees look healthy and happy in the sun. I'm hoping the branches don't break under the load of the fruit. The pears and quinces are looking good.
Himself made this footbridge across the drain as a shortcut to and from the back paddock. Trouble is that the grapevine is claiming the garden gate. I keep meaning to prune the vine back. Meanwhile, it's hard to shut the gate after us.

City Hall is hosting a meeting at 6 p.m. tonight on the future of the U.S. Postal Service's processing and distribution center on Loyola Avenue in downtown New Orleans, which employs 880 people. The postal service is looking into closing or consolidating 250 of its 487 processing plants.
Postal officials have said the New Orleans facility could be merged with a similar but larger facility in Baton Rouge. A distribution center in Lafayette also is on the roster of possible closures.
The average salary for employees who work in the distribution centers is $72,099, postal officials said. Local business leaders and public officials are lobbying hard to keep the facility open.
At tonight's meeting, members of the public will be allowed to ask questions and offer feedback, according to a news release from Mayor Mitch Landrieu's administration. The meeting will be held in City Council chambers.

Just a quick post to show you what I'm hooking right now. I found this antique bench at a thrift store, so I decided to hook a cover for the seat. I decided to do something somewhat whimsical and this is what I've got so far.
Need to push ahead and get that sky done. And I have to re-finish the bench/seat itself. I'll post some pictures of it as I get closer to the finish with this project.
And I'm off to hook! As soon as a million other things get done.

Here's what we're working with:
The less foods that need to be microwaved, the better.
We need some ideas that are quick to make (ie that would replace sandwiches).
Meals need to remain minimally processed.
I want to avoid GF bread because it's expensive. We'll probably have a loaf around every now and again, but daily sandwiches at lunch are a thing of the past.
98% of things I find on Pinterest involve lunch meat. Really? Lunch meat? The halfway healthy kind is super expensive, and the regular kind is so bad for you that I'd rather just eat gluten and remain minimally processed. I don't want to exchange gluten for nitrates. *climbs off soapbox*
We need some meat free ideas for Fridays. It seems like we're eating more meat now that we're gluten free.
I burn out on salads easily. Steven will eat them as a side dish but not as a main course.
Here's some things we've come up with so far, but most of these serve as better breakfast or dinner foods, than lunch:
Tomato soup over rice with beef. Yes, I'm just making stuff up with various gluten free ingredients.
Quinoa 'stir fry'
Tuna with hot sauce (ew.... for hubs)
Egg salad not on a sandwich, sometimes with avocado
Yogurt parfaits (gluten free oats, blueberries)
Shrimp and grits
Rice cakes with peanut butter and sometimes chocolate chips (I swore I wouldn't be that diet person who ate rice cakes, but I actually don't mind them!)
Minimally processed chicken sausage with some kind of starch (rice/quinoa)
Grilled chicken, or really any type of meat
Popcorn... more of a snack, but I've been known to make it a meal!
Eggs and bacon
None of these are particularly fast and easy, though so far they are all pretty delicious. Is making, and worse, cooking lunch the night before unavoidable when eating GF? HELP! :)
And yes, I realize we will most likely be accidentally contaminated through this process but we are going to do the best we can! Steven found an AWESOME site with local restaurants that have GF menus/options, so at least we can quit panicking about date night. We're going to try out a GF pizza place this Friday!

Thinking of tweeting about an upcoming holiday? Don't. Thinking of sharing a photo of your latest grand purchase? Don't. Thinking of checking in at the airport before your vacation? Don't. Our incessant need to share more personal information than ever before have drawn burglars to using social media to help them pick their next target.
Tech-savvy burglars use publicly-obtainable information e.g. Foursquare check-ins, location-based Facebook updates, and metadata from shared images to locate potential victims. To illustrate the risk of over-sharing on social media, Distinctive Doors designed this infograph explaining how they do it, and what you can do to protect yourself. Hopefully, it'll prompt you restrict the visibility of your updates and engage in more cautious sharing.

We have heard this rhetoric before and I agree that it is possible. I am sure thieves have even used Social Media to their advantage. However, I would like to see the stats that Social Media is contributing to a rise in crime. It is more likely that is is a very small blip on the total crime radar.
I agree with @planecrash, a majority of homes are likely vacant most of the workday. Jackson, I understand your response, but it is still weak.
People need to be smart, but no one will ever put the Social Media Genie back into the bottle. Let's not try to stir up panic where there is nothing to panic over. An article on how to be smart would have been more appropriate than an unsupported article about burgers using Social Media.
I don't post when I'm going away on social networks. I rarely post about an upcoming trip anywhere on the net. I do not post locations of where I am. I want a smartphone but am afraid of that happening without my knowledge.
Just go to my house any weekday (workday) between 8:30 am and 6:00 pm. All of my stuff will be completely unattended. No social media needed.
I do not have ANY social networking accounts JUST BECAUSE of this reason. I am a Software Engineer that knows all too well how to infiltrate PCs, websites, and networks. I would never do this, but I have the knowledge how to do so.
People have no idea what they are doing when they subscribe to these social networking sites. IT IS A MAJOR SECURITY RISK, even if you lock your accounts or web pages down.
Quoting from the Electronic Security Association about the efficacy of home alarm systems? Suggest exerting a bit more effort to lresearch authoritative and disinterested sources.
Typo. The above should read "research". Wish we have an edit button...

I spent the majority of the afternoon fabricating a patch for the offside wheelarch but, fraustratingly, I forgot to photo it. It was quite a nice insert with a number of angles. Then I used some metallised filler, which I am trying out for the first time. I am not a huge fan of filler because it smacks of bodging, but I am determined to make a quality job of it, and quite honestly my welding wasn't brilliant. Welding virgin steel is easy, but welding 60 year old rusty crap is challenging. Anyway, it needs more sanding and some refilling, but it is going to be sound.
Lastly I drilled holes in the top of the quarterlight so that I can spot weld from the outside before welding a line on the inside. But that is one for later.
So, that is satisfying progress for this weekend. I am definitely back into the swing of the project and need to concentrate all energy on getting the cab scuttle sorted first. I was pleased to note how much of the scuttle is metalwork done by me. It is amazing how little there was of it when I started out and how close it is, now, to being complete.

"Gentlemen, this is a condom" -Sex education classes in the Batman province aim to raise sexual awareness
The Chairman of the Chamber of Pharmacists in the 44th Region of the Province of Batman, Pharmacist M.Emin Beyaz and his team of volunteers, have piloted an educational programme for the public of Batman, where the birth rate is high, aiming to increase their knowledge of family planning and other sexual issues.
M.Emin Beyaz and his team handed out condoms to all those present, following a sex education class they gave to the congregation gathered at the Kirkat Village Mosque for their Friday prayer, telling them, "gentlemen, this is a condom". All of the men gathered at the mosque, young and old, showed great interest in the condoms. Some of the older members of the congregation's remark, "What is the use of using these after 10-15 children? It will make no difference now anyway. It is too late for us, but the youth of today should use them", captured the attention of the sex education team. The men gathered at the mosque for the sex education classes were all ears for the duration of the class, where approximately 500 condoms were distributed. The mosque's Imam Hamdin Acar approved the programme, stating, "This endeavour is also proper as regards our religion."

It wasn't ET 'wat done it
The slur on the driving/flying skills of all extra terrestrials was lifted today – first findings from the forensic examination of the damaged windmill bits are that it definitely wasn't a collision of any kind. That lets the MOD off the hook too.
We've just had the interim report from ENERCON, the manufacturer of our wind turbines, and they say that they found 'classic signs of fatigue failure' in the ring of about 30 bolts, that usually hold the blades on.
Interestingly though they've ruled out material or other defect in the bolts themselves, judging that the bolt fatigue is more likely 'effect' than 'cause' of the blade loss.
The attention has shifted now to the components on either side of the ring of bolts, the theory being that a failure somewhere else in the chain of components is at the root of things.

I'm glad you posted this as the physical evidence is what counts at the end of the day.
On November 11, 1966 the three witnesses were deer hunting when, at 1000, they returned to their camp site. As they approached the area they saw a thin column of smoke rising from the camp location. They found the 12 x 18 ft tent destroyed along with all the equipment stored inside the tent.
The tent was smoldering but no flames or sparks were evident. Shoes and some records were still smoking. Aluminum tent poles were singed but not burnt, aluminum cots inside the tent were melted. The tent was under trees with very dry leaves, they were not damaged or singed, indicating a very concentrated path of heating.
One of the witnesses always carried a camera while hunting so he could photograph wildlife. As they stood in the smoldering remains he noticed a dead tree some distance away which was 15 ft tall, the top 12 inches was on fire. They heard a humming noise and saw an object rising from the valley floor beyond the tree. He raised the camera and was able to take two photographs of the device.
The first photograph clearly displays the ascending object and the top of the burning tree at the lower right side. A cylindrical, tower-like structure is visible at the top rear section. This structure appears to have an opening at its top with a thin protuberance extending from the opening. The object was rapidly gaining altitude and speed as he rolled the filn to the next negative.
The object was in sight for about 20 seconds. The humming became more intense as the object gained speed. It was last seen 40 degrees above the horizon, moving rapidly into the distance. The object was aluminum in color and reflected the cloud diffused sunlight. They could see what appeared to be a dark band or rim around the center. The object was stable in flight. The three men paced the distance to the point of ascent, it was 300 ft. They estimated the diameter at 25 ft and the height at 8 ft. There were no visible traces at the point of ascent.
The two negatives with the UFO images were located at #'s 6 & 7 with hunting and camping negatives before and the three men at the camp site after. The clear image negative (#6) displays the object image with a length of 1/4. Dr. Hynek took the roll of negatives back to Northwestern University. They were checked at Northwestern by photographic experts and determined to be normal in exposure and appearance. The apparent size of the image is correct for an object 25 to 30 ft in diameter at a distance of 300 ft.
At 11:30 a.m. in Saladare, Ethiopia a red glowing ball of fire swept through the village, destroying houses, uprooting trees, and melting asphalt. It seemed to hover in place and then back-tracked. It caused eight serious injuries and the death of a little girl. (Source: J. Allen Hynek & Jacque Vallee, The Edge of Reality: A Progress Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, p. 160)
This is one of the few documented cases where harm has been caused by something we must regard as a UFO. It was certainly flying, it was obviously an object, and it certainly was unidentified.
Close Encounters of the Second Kind are those in which, additionally, the UFO has some tangible effect on the environment, for example by leaving an imprint in the ground where it lands or by interfering with the normal functioning of a car engine
Almiro became quite frightened, drew his revolver and fired at the object. Instantly he felt intense heat, he went numb and a prickly feeling of pins and needles took hole of him. He fell down, attempted to get up again and run. Still holding his gun, he took his whistle and started calling for help. He stated that after firing his first shot, the lights grew brighter and there was a noise. A blinding ray was emitted after he had fired his second shot from his double barrel.
Physical Trace Cases.
Physical trace reports were labeled Close Encounters of the Second Kind (CE-II) by J.Allen Hynek and involve instances where there was a physical interaction between the UFO and its environment. Usually these involve a landing trace, such as depressed grass or soil, but also burned or broken vegetation, residues, and more exotic traces. There are at least somewhere between 3,500 and 5,000 UFO physical trace cases.
Physical Evidence, Physical Evidence – General, Electro-Magnetic Effects, Vehicle Interference Cases, Physical Trace Cases, Physiological Effects, Radar Cases
Jacques F. Vallee, Journal of Scientific Exploration
A survey of ten cases of unexplained aerial phenomena accompanied by material residues shows a broad distribution of natural elements, many of which are metallic in nature. They can be roughly described as belonging in two categories: "light materials" of high conductivity such as aluminum, and "slag-like materials" reminiscent of industrial byproducts.
Most of those cases under consideration strive to meet four criteria: 1) the literature gives sufficient ground to support the fact that an unusual aerial phenomenon occurred, 2) the circumstances of the actual recovery of the specimen are reported, 3) there is data to suggest that the specimen is in fact linked to the observed aerial object, and 4) physical analysis has been performed by a competent laboratory of known reliability. In several instances the sample is available for continuing study by independent scientists.
Physical Evidence Related to UFO Reports (Sturrock Panel): Injuries to Vegetation
Peter Sturrock / Sturrock Panel Report / Physical Evidence Related to UFO Reports
Summary: In some cases that involve an apparent disturbance to the soil, there may also be an apparent injury to vegetation. Velasco stated that four such cases have been investigated by GEPAN/SEPRA: the "Christelle" case of November 27, 1979; the "Trans-en-Provence" case of January 8, 1981; the "Amarante" case of October 21, 1982; and the "Joe le Taxi" case of September 7, 1987.

Most of the time, you play as the teeny private eye in first person, though there are sections of the game where it flips to third person. This should help young girls feel like they're Nancy Drew, who–despite her penchant for getting mixed up in international conspiracies–actually is a good role model for young girls. Especially when the alternative is looking to Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan, but on the series' own merits as well.
Your goal is two-fold: figure out what's going on at the Icicle Creek lodge and learn why this bizarre wolf keeps stalking you. Along the way, you do chores and prepare food, while sometimes battling the elements, and engaging in some snow ball fights or moving across ice. You are sort of snooping around during all these parts, so the mini-games actually are integral to the story.
Although it's an E for Everyone game, you can sort of die. You can freeze to death. Realistically, though, it just keeps you moving forward and not dawdling. It doesn't take away from the game.
This game is clearly not marketed to me, but that doesn't mean I don't think it's a good game. Even on my mediocre PC, the game looked really polished. It's part of a long-running and extremely well-received series. It may be a good gift if you have a young daughter or sister–especially if they've read the books. And it is also something that's kid-friendly, but not mind-numbingly so. That means even older women who read "Nancy Drew" growing up can play along with their young girls.
Although I won't say categorically every male will dislike this game, I think most males will find the title understandably a bit too girly.

How digital can help small charities navigate their challenges16 Jul 2018
Localgiving's Local Charity and Community Group Sustainability Report shows the amount of pressure that small charities are under. I was concerned to read that only 47% of the UK's local charities and community groups are confident they will survive beyond 5 years. It is worrying to ...
Fighting for the rights of LGBTQI+ asylum seekers05 Jul 2018
Amid the special edition rainbow bank cards and coffee cups, it is very easy to forget that today's Pride celebrations have their roots in the Stonewall riots and the wider fight for justice for LGBTQI+people. There is no doubt that there have been incredible strides forward for LGBTQI+ ...

The rigorous training regimen at the Academy is meant to instill pride and discipline in each recruit. The paramilitary setting helps accomplish this with uniforms, ranks and insignias, chain of command, and traditions. Come graduation day, you will have earned and will take great pride in your new position as an officer with the Whittier Police Department.
You will be responsible for the 42 "learning domains" (LD) mandated by P.O.S.T., as well as agency-specific policies and procedures. During your six months at the Academy, you will receive over 1,000 hours of training from experienced officers. Should you fail to pass any LD examination, you must take a remedial exam. Failure of the remedial exam will result in termination from the Academy.
The staff will train you in various aspects of enforcement procedures. You will learn basic applications regarding use of force, patrol techniques, vehicle pullovers, and crimes in progress. Your general knowledge will be tested in each phase, as well as your ability to apply that knowledge to both day and night scenarios.
Weapons Training is a realistic program that prepares officers to face the challenges of on-the-job encounters.
Each recruit will be instructed in the safe handling and effective use of the Department's general duty weapons: SigArms Model 226 .40 caliber semiautomatic pistol.
Weapons Training also includes the proper use of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC spray: also known as pepper spray), operations in a chemical environment (CS gas), and basic recognition and handling of confiscated and clandestine weapons.
EVOC, one of the finest law enforcement driver training programs available, will train you in enforcement driving. You will hear lectures on vehicle dynamics, performance driving techniques, and departmental policy. You will also receive interactive driver training, which includes vehicle placement, skid control techniques, performance driving, defensive driving, and Code-3 pursuit driving.
Each recruit must meet minimum performance goals during each phase of interactive training, as well as demonstrate knowledge by written examination.
The Academy will be your "home away from home" for the next several months (you do not live on Academy grounds). Your training day will typically begin at 0645 hours and end at approximately 1700 hours. You must remain on Academy grounds during training hours.
Recruits learn the drill procedures necessary to participate in ceremonies and tactical formations, including riots and civil disturbances. Marching is a critical aspect of drill procedures, and you will practice it often.
Each recruit will face a number of obstacles during Academy training. Most recruits have difficulty with the regimentation and some with the physical testing, but most recruits share one obstacle: they failed to adequately prepare for the demanding Academy lifestyle.

As if San Francisco isn't dreamy enough, Tech Cocktail is excited to be hosting another Tech Cocktail Mixer & Startup Showcase in the beautiful streets of San Francisco on Thursday, April 24th. We are excited to announce the awesome companies that were selected to showcase and show off their "goods" below. Make sure you join us at MIGHTY to meet these revolutionizing startups and see them compete for a spot as the Nation's Hottest Startup.
We'll have a gaggle of startups on hand, showcasing their goods, but before the event kicks off, we want to know what you think: Who is San Francisco's Hottest Showcasing Startup? Let us know your thoughts by answering the poll at the end of this post (ends at 6:00pm local time on the day of the event).
The winner will be announced live at the event and will receive recognition in the editor's note of the weekly newsletter and added press recognizing the honor of being elected San Francisco's Hottest Showcasing Startup, as well as a chance for a spot at this year's national competition, Tech Cocktail Celebrate.
Who is San Francisco's Hottest Showcasing Startup?
- ArtCorgi – It is incredibly difficult to (1) give meaningful, personal gifts that people don't already have and that don't cost an arm and a leg, and (2) commission original art online should you want art for yourself or someone else. ArtCorgi provides an online marketplace where freelancers can build up experience and a client base while also earning a sustainable income.
- AVforplanners.com – Corporate meeting planners and organizers worry about venues and menus but the third and arguably most important costs are technical and labor related to AV. We give the power to the planner to make the best desicon. Most Corporations Standard operating procedure is to get three bids for AV. AVforPlanners save time and money in the whole process.
- Blush Messenger – Blush enhances the offline convenience and openness of texting with the human element of face-to-face communication.
- Geekatoo – In-home tech support is expensive. Best Buy charges $300 to fix a virus, yet they only pay their employees $11-18/hr. We send these geeks directly to the consumer and pass the savings on.
- Modentify – Modentify's app detection and user profile creation platform helps enable app publishers/developers to identify distribution channels and acquire new users in a targeted way as well as provide more targeted ads for better ad performance. The deep linking component makes it easier for developers to link directly into other apps and track the links.
- Queue Technologies – We solve three huge critical problems: 1) companies have no way to recognize and reward their best fans supporting the product pre-launch efforts. 2) pre-order customers are usually left in the dark and all alone providing a bad experience for the most loyal fans 3) if companies don't manage pre-tail market dynamics properly they either loose early premium sales or face inventory write offs (microsoft took a 900m on the surface last quarter).
- Slingbot – Early-stage companies don't have funding, marketing budgets, or the time to consistently be acquiring and engaging customers on Twitter. Now startups simply enter in keywords and Slingbot builds them a list of suggested tweets to engage with.
- SoundBetter – SoundBetter is a vertical services marketplace that helps 3M recording musicians worldwide find and hire post production professionals. Home recording is exploding due to the drop in the cost of equipment. But recording is only the first step of the process. Every song that gets recorded needs to be mixed and mastered by skilled professionals. SoundBetter centralizes the huge and previously fragmented music-production services industry.
- Splenvid Inc. – Today, less than half of mobile users that capture video with their phones ever do anything with it. People simply don't have time to curate all of the content they capture, and "making a movie" isn't a natural part of a person's day. With the explosive growth of user-captured content, the curation problem will only get worse. Splenvid solves this problem by automating everything from the time users capture content on their devices to when a finished movie is ready for viewing and sharing. Splenvid makes video storytelling simple and accessible to everyone.
- TrackR – TrackR aims to help rid the world of lost items. Statistics show that Americans spend an average of 15 minutes per day looking for a misplaced or lost items, many times finding them in obvious places. But the problem isn't about looking for lost items, it's about the moments missed because you spent 15 minutes looking for the keys that were under the couch
- Vilynx – Vilynx addresses the 2 key issues with video, Discoverability of what's inside a video and Navigability to key parts of videos. For education videos it is key that students have a way to navigate through a video quickly to the desired sections. With the visual table of contents, it simple to get to the key sections of a video with out the need to spend minutes scrubbing through the video. Students have improved engagement with the videos. Stanford is a lead customer for Vilynx and is using it with students. They are also leading integration efforts into EdX. For publishers and businesses, the need to get improved click through on videos is key to generating more ad revenue. Once people instantly discover what is inside a video, they are more likely to click through. 200% more likely based on the customers we have. They are also more engaged with the content since they have an understand of what's inside the video. Best of all, Vilynx addresses both markets with one technology.
- Wiz Maps – In real estate, the price of a specific property depends on local variables. Current risk models are antiquated, filled with false assumptions, do not take into account local market conditions/ trends, and fail terribly. Most critical location-based data is neither online, nor available to investors in a usable format. We offer accurate local predictive models, to properly assess today's and tomorrow's risk.

Hickory Hops, the city's first beer festival, is just around the corner (see www.hickoryhops.com). This is the first of two articles for beer drinkers and fest goers. Cheers!
Just throw your head back, open up your yapper and pour that cold, clear, tasteless beer right down your parched throat. That's all there is to drinking beer, right Bubba?
Without being an effete, pointing-pinky snob, there is a proper method to tasting beer. But, of course, it must be beer with flavor to start with. Drink beer for pleasure however you wish, but if you're in search of the subtle tastes and nuisances of a particular beer, the BJCP has developed a system for your use. The Beer Judge Certification Program, which dates back to 1985, is "a non-profit organization which encourages the advancement of education of people who are concerned with the evaluation of beer." Judge certification is a long, formal and tedious process involving intense education covering nearly every aspect of beer characteristics, from style definitions to actual flavor components and off-flavor recognition. Judges take their beer drinking seriously.
So where does a fledgling beer drinker began in this all-of-a-sudden complicated tasting process? The BJCP has established a five category, 50 point scale for beer evaluation. In competition, homebrew or professional, beer is judged blind, that is, judges know the style but have no clue who brewed each beer.
Aroma is the first checkpoint on the list. Does the beer have an aroma? Most do, but is it appropriate for style. India Pale Ales, for instance, should practically have hop clouds overhead raining pungent floral hops on everyone within a nose or two. Pilsners, less blunt in hops presentation, may waft a slight hop breeze while English Brown Ale may emit a brown sugar aura. Aroma accounts for as many as 12 points in the 50 point scale.
Appearance weighs in with only three points. Beers should be of proper color, clarity and head. A Cream Stout should sport a frothy tan foam cap and be opaque black in hue. A Bavarian Hefeweizen, an unfiltered wheat beer, must be cloudy gold and topped with a frothy white head. How many times have you ordered a Red beer that wasn't red?
The biggest component of the Beer Score Sheet is Flavor. With 20 points on the table, beer judges labor diligently to compare the beer at hand to very specific stylistic characteristics. With over 56 different categories and subcategories, some of which overlap, this is not an easy task. Judges make note of malt, hops, fermentation characteristics, balance, finish/aftertaste and other flavor characteristics appropriate for the style. Further information on style specifications and the Beer Score Sheet can be found at www.bjcp.org.
With five points, Mouthfeel is given lower priority but remains an important function in the art of tasting. Mouthfeel is simply the body of the beer. Is it thin, like a Hefeweizen, medium like a Pale Ale or heavy like Porter and Stout? Does the beer have proper carbonation, creaminess, astringency or other palate sensations? Like a melted milkshake, Stout with thin mouthfeel just wouldn't taste right.
Finishing out the count, Overall Impression chips in with 10 points. This is the most subjective part of the judging and often separates the winners from the runner-ups. Judges comment on overall drinking pleasure and make suggestions for improvement to the beer.
Unlike wine tasting judges, beer judges swallow their tastes. Between beers, water and bland crackers or bread are used to cleanse palates. Beers are awarded a numerical grade by averaging the judges' scores. A Very Good Beer rates 30-37 points. Excellent hits the 38-44 range, with Outstanding, a rare feat, at the top of the chart, 45-50.
You don't have to drink like a judge to enjoy the myriad flavors of craft brewed beer. Tastings and comparisons are fun. So are beer festivals. Make the most of your time at Hickory Hops. It's the perfect opportunity to learn more about the art of tasting craft brewed beer.

Objective: SIBLINGS - In this act, we see the beginnings of the relationship between Boy Willie and his sister, Berniece. The objective of this lesson is for students to explore the relationship between these two siblings and to discuss the ways that this relationship will affect the conflicts within the story.
1) 1.) As a class, compare/contrast the two siblings, Berniece and Boy Willie. They were raised in the same family, by the same family members. What is the same about them? What is different? Is there anything unexpected/surprising in that comparison?
2.) Do you think the relationship between Boy Willie and his sister has always been as strained as it is in the first act of this play? Divide the class into two groups for a cross classroom debate. After 15 minutes, add another complication: What do you think was the trigger for the change in their relationship...

Only One starts off in dramatic fashion: a giant sword floating in the air, giving off a radiant aura. It descends to the ground, and is picked up by the protagonist, standing on a giant circular platform where the only exit is a steep drop to one's death. He screams to the heavens:
"I will become…the only one!"
It's a bold intro, yet a bit silly because the voice acting sounds hardly professional, but it perfectly encapsulates the Only One experience: it's a bit silly, a bit crudely-made, but a lot of fun.
While it's easy to call Only One an RPG, it's more of an arena survival game with fantasy tropes. Players try to last as long as they can, leveling up each time they take out an enemy wave, be they warriors, archers, wizards, or anything else that wishes for the player to go from Only One to Absolute Zero. Players are equipped with a sword, can collect a shield to take additional damage, and collect power, the game's currency to spend on health/shield upgrades, passive abilities, and active abilities that can be triggered to help deal with enemies, such as a freeze blast. Players have 70-plus levels to work through, with checkpoints every 10 levels, and a boss fight at the end of each ten-level gauntlet.
The sword action that serves as the heart of Only One's combat always feels a bit awkward because it's such a limited motion, but players just have to get acclimated to it and how they can attack enemies with it. The touchscreen controls work decently enough: there's a virtual floating joystick on the left side and action buttons lined vertically on the right.
The game supports HID gamepads, which I highly recommend using. Google Play Games is supported, but not cloud saving, which is unfortunate – I'd love to jump from my tablet to my phone and back easily without using Helium (which doesn't work on one of my tablets). As well, while the game doesn't have the greatest production values – it's simple pixel art and sound effects are lovably crude – some older devices may struggle to run the game at maximum frames per second.
Sadly, the most fun part about Only One is one that isn't necessarily in the player's best interest: knocking enemies off the edge of the map. Sending an enemy to their doom by hitting them backwards is fun! Doing so by using the Force-push ability: even more fun! There's also the bonus points that come from doing so. But because enemies drop power coins that inevitably go flying with them, this really isn't in the player's best interest to keep doing. Perhaps if the rewards were automatically collected? After all, fighting near the edges comes with its own risk: that players could fall off if an enemy knocks them off themselves or if the level starts to shake.
But that the enemies do try to do that shows just how smart the AI is here: it's not comprised of geniuses, but it is full of enemies that do intelligent things. Like, for example, running away from the guy with the sword when they're the last enemy standing instead of just standing there and taking damage like a fool resigned to their fate. Or a wizard with a teleportation ability that uses it when knocked off the arena. Hooray for intelligent systems!
Really, Only One is so much better than it should be based on how it looks and sounds; but thanks to the depth of its combat and fun features, it's a must-play.

Southampton have signed centre-back Jan Bednarek from Poland's Lech Poznan on a five-year contract, the Premier League club announced on Saturday.
"Jan is an extremely promising young player who possesses significant potential," Southampton vice-chairman Les Reed said in a statement about the player who represents Poland at the under-21 level.
"Jan provides additional depth to the impressive amount we have in that area, with Virgil van Dijk, Maya Yoshida and Jack Stephens having all performed so impressively there last season."
Defender Stephens also signed a new five-year contract with Southampton on Saturday after breaking into the first team last season.
The 23-year-old formed a strong partnership with Yoshida in the heart of the Saints' defence, making 23 appearances for the south coast club after Van Dijk's season came to a premature end due to injury.
"I am absolutely delighted to extend my stay," Stephens told the club website. (www.southamptonfc.com)
"It feels like home to me. I have really enjoyed my time here and am now looking forward to the next five years."

Confession: We are so not ready for this baby. Physically, from the way my body's been acting, I'm ready. Emotionally, I can't wait for him to finally be here. But as far as all the "stuff" goes, well, we are not that far. His room has zero furniture and is still half-filled with boxes. We have plenty of clothes, but no hangers or drawers. We have about enough diapers and wipes to last a day. We have bottles, but no breast pump. We have two carriers, and I have no idea how to use them. We have a car seat, but I just found out it was recalled. We have some books, not that he'll care about those for awhile. We have washcloths but no tub, and blankets but no crib. Don't even ask me if our hospital bags are packed, because you can probably guess the answer (not at all, and the checklist from my Lamaze instructor is buried somewhere).
Not as important, but pretty close, is our own bedroom. You may remember that the room at our last place was super tiny. At the moment, we only have a bed and a lamp, because that's all that would fit before. And actually, the bed should be replaced, because it's all sunken in and uncomfortable. We still need a stand for B's TV, a desk and chair for me, a shoe rack so that they're not just piled in the closet, a bookshelf for my insane collection, and seating for the balcony. I'm trying not to get overwhelmed and take things one day at a time, but it's hard when I'm surrounded by boxes all day and not supposed to really be doing anything with them. I'd go to the store for some of these things myself, but B and I are down to one car now, and I'm also not about to start carrying furniture. Obviously.
So, what did I do last night when I was stressed about all this? Turned to Pinterest, of course. Getting lost in other peoples' pretty shit never fails to calm me down.
First off, I really like the idea of a corner desk. I think it would fit better in our space, and facing it out at the room instead of the wall would make me feel less claustrophobic. source / source / source / source
I'm also super smitten with these creative shelving options. That ladder idea would be a great project for B, don't you think? I love using my books as decor. source / source / source / source
I want a fun but easy way to display photos and art. I just have a few decisions to make. Frames or no frames? Twine or no twine? Heart-shaped or in a grid formation? Hmm. source / source / source / source
Of course, we can't forget about Baby Loudmouth -- although, I'm much more focused on getting the basics in order. We can always decorate later. I'm sure he won't mind. source / source / source / source

Hope everyone had a great Errol Barrow weekend. I haven't gone down to Independence Square to check out the new statue of the National Hero yet, but it sure looked great on television.
So, what a long way we've come on the entertainment front! I remember it was just the other day persons of different ethnicities were overlooked for Oscar nominations and how pleasantly surprised most of us were when Denzil Washington and Halle Berry were awarded. Racial diversity seems to be in at such awards lately and the Oscar nominations are no different.
This morning the Oscar nominations were announced and Will Smith
and Forest Whitaker
were nominated for Best Actor for The Pursuit of Happyness and The Last King of Scotland respectively.
Eddie Murphy was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Dream Girls
and Jennifer Hudson for Best Supporting Actress for the same film.
Special mention also goes to Djimon Hounsou, nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Blood Diamond, and Rinko Kikuchi, nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Babel. The Oscars will be aired on Feb. 25.
Good luck to them all!

Remember the old phrase about old age and treachery overcoming youth and skill every time? It could well hold true Sunday at Daytona International Speedway, where NASCAR will play host to its biggest event of the year, the Daytona 500.
On Sunday, at least 10 drivers over the age of 40 will attempt to win the 500. Three of them have won it in the past, all more than once.
So will the venerable 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway be kind to some of the senior drivers on the circuit? As Trevor Bayne proved two years with his stunning upset victory, anything is possible in the Daytona 500, although nothing is a given.
Of the 40+ crowd, SPEED.com has identified seven drivers who have a legitimate shot to win NASCAR's biggest prize.
Here they are:
1. MICHAEL WALTRIP, age 49 — Twelve years ago, Waltrip did what few believed was possible, breaking an 0-462 streak in winning his first Daytona 500. Sadly, Waltrip's accomplishment was overshadowed by the death of his car owner, Dale Earnhardt, in the same race. Waltrip won the 500 again in 2003 and last year was contending for a victory at Talladega when he got wrecked at the end of the race. And, oh yeah, Waltrip is racing for a great cause, the Sandy Hook School Support Fund. He might not be the favorite, but he's certainly the sentimental favorite.
2. MATT KENSETH, 40 — With victories in two of the last four Daytona 500s, Kenseth has proven himself to be an exceptional restrictor-plate racer, and his move to Joe Gibbs Racing has done nothing to hurt his chances at winning a third 500. Smooth, consistent and unlikely to make a mistake, Kenseth could be the man to beat on Sunday.
3. TONY STEWART, 41 — Sure, Danica Patrick deserves props for winning the Daytona 500 pole. But her chances of winning the race are nowhere near as good as those of her boss, Tony Stewart, who has won more Daytona races than anyone except the late, great Dale Earnhardt. Smoke has never won the big prize, though, and as much as he's helped Patrick so far during Speedweeks, on Sunday, he'll be out to win himself.
4. JEFF GORDON, 41 — Three times, Gordon has won the 500, which makes him the active leader in victories in this event. In recent years, however, Gordon has struggled: He finished 40th in the 500 in 2012, 28th in 2011, 26th in 2010, 13th in '09 and 39th in '08. So far, Gordon has looked great in Speedweeks, qualifying on the outside of Row 1 for the Daytona 500.
5. GREG BIFFLE, 43 — Biffle got his first NASCAR Sprint Cup victory here in July 2003, and his first Cup pole here in February 2004. Although he wasn't quite as fast as the very best cars in the Sprint Unlimited, Biffle still managed to finish second, an impressive performance.
6. MARK MARTIN, 54 — If you ask Mark Martin, he'll tell you that he hates racing at Daytona. Hates it. But in 2007, he came within a foot of winning the 500, and if he can keep from getting wrecked by other people — something that's happened three times already during Speedweeks, he could win it all.
7. JEFF BURTON, 45 — Richard Childress Racing is almost always stout at restrictor-plate tracks, and Burton has done well here of late, finishing fifth in last year's 500 and second in the July Daytona race. Look out for him this time out.

Being green doesn't have to mean you have to spend a lot of green. According to the Car Care Council, by properly maintaining your vehicle's fuel system, you will not only improve the performance of your vehicle, but lower its emissions and save money at the pump, too.
"A well-maintained fuel system is essential for good gas mileage," said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. "By simply replacing your car's fuel filter every two years or 24,000 miles and having your fuel injectors flushed our every 30,000 miles, you will not only have a cleaner, 'greener' car, but you will also spend less 'green' at the pump."
In addition to routine maintenance, your fuel system should be checked immediately if you smell gas, or suddenly have poor fuel economy, because there might be leak in the fuel system. If the "Check Engine" light is illuminated, it may mean a problem with the fuel injectors or oxygen sensors. While oxygen sensors are part of the emission system, they have a large impact on your vehicle's fuel economy.
The fuel system in your car includes a pressure regulator, fuel injectors, lines/hoses, fuel filter, fuel tank and one or more fuel pumps. These components work together to supply fuel to the vehicle as needed. The fuel system transfers fuel from the fuel tank, passing it through a fuel filter for cleaning before it arrives at the injectors. A pressure regulator controls fuel pressure to ensure good engine performance under a variety of speed and load conditions. Fuel injectors, when activated, spray a metered amount of fuel into the engine. Some vehicles use a return line system to return unused fuel back to the tank.
"While the fuel system may seem complex, preventative maintenance will keep it running at peak performance and keep you in the 'green,'" said White.

Mynamar jails three men for blasphemy
Philip Blackwood, the Mynamar bar manager who outraged Buddhists last year by posting a picture online of The Fat Guy wearing a pair of headphones, has been jailed for two years.
A court in Yangon said the image, used to promote New Zealander Blackwood's VGastro bar and restaurant, denigrated Buddhism and was a violation of Myanmar's religion act, which prohibits insulting, damaging or destroying religion. Said judge, U Ye Lwin:
It is clear the act of the bar offended the majority religion in the country.
The image was posted in December on the Facebook page of the VGastro in Yangon. After an outcry from hard-line Buddhist groups, the police arrested Blackwood, 32, along with the bar owner, U Tun Thurein, 40, and a second employee, U Htut Ko Ko Lwin, 26. The three have been held in Insein prison in Yangon.
In addition to the two-year prison term imposed on each of the men, the three were also sentenced to six months for illegally operating a bar after 10 pm.
Blackwood said after the verdict that the men had expected they would be convicted.
Phil Robertson, the deputy director of Human Rights Watch's Asia division, who is based in Bangkok, called the verdict "outrageous"
This is a clear instance of criminalizing free expression. This will resonate in a very significant, negative way internationally when people decide how to engage with Burma.
The three convicted men faced possible prison terms of as long as four years in connection with the image. The image was quickly removed, and the bar issued an apology, saying it had not intended to cause offense.
Our ignorance is embarrassing for us, and we will attempt to correct it by learning more about Myanmar's religions, culture and history, characteristics that make this such a rich and unique society.
In 2010, a Buddha Bar in Jakarta, Indonesia – part of a franchise – was forced to close after protests from Buddhists there.
Myanmar will hold a general election this fall, and rights groups say the blasphemy conviction is an indicator that the government is pandering to hard-line Buddhist groups to win votes.
Said Robertson:
Not only is this a rights violation, but this is very ill advised from a political and social perspective. Burma is heading into dangerous territory.

Yet another horrifying, shameful example that religiots in some parts of the world still has the power to silence anyone who dares to cross that invisible line which only they seem able to see. And yet another example that their beliefs are so transparently false and utterly ludicrous that they have to resort to locking people up in some hell-hole of a jail for years in order to deter even the most innocent of criticisms/offences.
This sentence does more damage to Buddhism than to the victims of this vindictive nonsense. I had some respect for some aspects of Buddhism, particularly Zen, but whatever was there is eroding fast.
The sort of sub-text to this is that religion – of whatever stripe – somehow essentially underpins a society's stability. So that if religion is removed or criticised, all social order will collapse and anarchy and mayhem will scream into the vacuum left by the absence of religion. If only the people who believe this nonesense could look around the world and see how much suffering and conflict is caused by religion, they may, perhaps, come to see that a society WITHOUT religion would be shedding a lot less blood.
Insein Prison? You couldn't make it up.
but like bhuddism isn't a religion maaaaan it's like a totally easy going philosophy unlike islam and Christianity innit.
seriously though fuck bhuddism its just another bullshit religion that puts faith above reason.
How can there be blasphemy in buddhism? Have these morons in Burma (fuck that Myanmar BS) any knowledge of Buddhism? No I thought not. There should be NO ideas that cannot be explored in Buddhism. Altho re ZH above – there are many who call themselves buddhist (the Dalai Lama for instance) who are actually totally unenlightened and have no idea what Sakyamuni was talking about.
There is an eclipse today. Watch it and marvel for a few minutes. Then have a think about whether or not the universe will be any different after the last person on earth kills the second to last person on earth because she / he has a different religion.
Religion….the tool by which the devious exert power over the masses.
Religion … the tool by which lawless gangs of thugs justify murder.
Religion … the tool by which mankind destroyed itself
Buddhism used to be seen more as a philosophy. Then its followers realised that if it was a full-blown religion, there were tax breaks to be had (and in the UK a religion has be monotheistic for the tax breaks, hence Buddha is no longer a 'founder' but a god). And now Buddhism is like other religions, vying for victimhood, butting into politics, and bullying non-believers.
@Me. The eclipse has been and gone but the World hasn't ended as predicted by various religious fruitcakes; I bet they feel a bit stupid now – hang on, they are stupid.
Angela …you missed the point didn't you. And the pious are too stupid to feel stupid by the way.
Alas, budda is a god, what a travesty Burma. good luck to the Insein 3.
We could not see the celestial beauty in the states, but knowing it happen was reaffirming of reason logic and science hu @me and @Angela_K

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
Can you guys believe that it's already March? How did that happen? I'm barely done nursing my New Year's Eve hangover, and you mean to tell me that it's almost the first day of spring?! Unbelievable. Even more unbelievable is that we're so close to spring weather and yet as I write this, it's minus 2 degrees outside. Someone rescue me from this hell.
If there's one good thing that has come out of this unbearable winter, it's that I have added yet another step to my beauty regime that helps me protect myself from patches of dry, scaly winter skin and will help me stay smooth all year.
Are you familiar? I'll admit, I was still hesitant to approach them because oil is something that we're often trying to avoid. After trying to survive these temperatures and prevent my skin from breaking right in half, I was willing to try anything. Besides, even if the oil did backfire and gave me insane breakouts or something, this cold weather keeps me from leaving my apartment for anything that isn't an absolute essential. You know, like vodka or nail polish. So I figured I could always hide out until my skin cleared.
I'm happy to say that a pimple attack didn't happen.
I started experimenting with oils using Josie Maran's 100% Argan Oil Light, $48.
I knew I'd be in good hands because I trust the heck out of Josie Maran. I've used a bunch of her moisturizers and cosmetics and they've always worked like a dream, but I was never confident using the one thing that made all those products so good: the argan oil itself in its pure form.
You can use this oil in place of your normal moisturizer, and in the summer, I plan to do just that. But yo, it's been so cold out that I'm not trying to remove anything that's going to give me extra protection from chapped skin.
I get ready like normal, and right before I leave the house, I rub a couple drops between my fingertips then all over my face to create an extra barrier between harsh winds and my precious skin.
I don't have any problems with my skin looking too oily when I use the Argan Oil Light because it actually helps regulate your skin's oil production. It absorbs into the skin leaving behind just a subtle glow, not a shine.
My skin really started to dry out after temperatures dropped, and I was vigorously applying body lotions to my dry spots with varying, underwhelming results. My sides, my legs, and the backs of my arms would soak the lotion right up, then be dry and tight again just a few hours later. I thought I was doomed to live the next few months with itchy, painful, dry skin.
But not so!
I found two body oils to keep dry skin at bay.
JR Watkins Body Oil Mist, $8.99.
JR Watkins is a great place to start with body oils not only because it's affordable, but because the spray nozzle makes it easy to apply the oil without getting too much. At first, I was skeezed at the idea of smearing oil all over my body, imagining I'd leave a trail of it behind me wherever I went (like a snail) so I applied only a light mist. Each day, I applied more, until I was sure I loved it. It's filled with apricot kernel oil which helps moisturize and lock in moisture all day. Another bonus? It's quick drying, so you can spray it on, massage it in, and throw a shirt on without it sticking to your skin.
Next, Omorovicza Firming Body Oil, $75.
This really helped close the gap between the skin I had and the skin I wanted. Omorovicza Body Oil includes apricot oil and almond oil (my fave) which help to soften and sage and chamomile help to soothe irritated skin. After I pop out of the shower, I spread this oil everywhere, paying special attention to my sides, calves, and legs. After about a week of using this oil at least once a day, my skin is significantly softer and doesn't itch anymore, which is a sweet, sweet relief.
The only thing I'd change about this oil is that the bottle isn't designed to help control application. It just sort of pours out. Be careful, it's not hard to get too much.
Last, REN Moroccan Rose Otto Bath Oil, $48.
I always thought bath oils were a little too high maintenance for me, plus, who has time to take a bath?
But a few weeks ago, my insane work schedule on top of these frigid temperatures ended up getting me a little sick, and forced me to slow my roll for a minute. I had to lay low for a few days and STAY IN ON A SATURDAY NIGHT.
I was sitting on my couch, feeling all grumpy, eating take out, and decided to take a bath in hopes that it would relax my muscles that were tense from taking approximately four million different cold medicines.
I filled the bath water and, in an effort to create the most serene and relaxing environment in which to soak, I put on Miley Cyrus "Unplugged" on my laptop.
Oh! And I threw in some REN Bath Oil. I figured if I was gonna take a bath, I was gonna take a BATH.
I didn't really expect anything, but as I stepped into the bath, I could feel the oil in there. The water felt softer, if that makes sense. I was sitting with my pink hair in my steamy bathtub, with my Kirsten-Dunst-as-Marie-Antoinette lookin' ass, I thought to myself maybe there is a point to all this bath oil nonsense.
The rose oil is heavily fragranced with, well, roses, which aren't my favorite, but it's not a lingering scent once you're out of the bath, so I can deal. It left my skin crazy-smooth. So much so that I didn't want to put on clothes after! You're very welcome for that visual.
So what are your thoughts on oils? Love 'em? Hate 'em? Hate me? Tell me in the comments!
Tynan is oiled up on Twitter @TynanBuck.
