Growing Information and Photos
These photos are all courtesy of Mensa Gardening SIG members. These Eggplant grow in Massachusetts. Enjoy!
I grow the Japanese Long Purple Eggplant in New England. I pre-planted the seeds in March and put them out in early May. The seeds take 15 days to germinate, you harvest in 100 days. Plant the plants 15" apart.
Eggplants love full sun and fertile soil. They have a long growing season compared to other plants so be sure to start these early. I like the long shape, they're great for slicing into long strips and grilling. Pick these when they get to be about 2" in diameter and are glossy, not turning dull.
Our eggplants are growing VERY slowly ...

Hi everyone, I'm back and although it's a little late, I'm still here with a new unboxing, and I'm sure more than a few of you are familiar with the sting of real life encroaching on cool creative stuff and hobbies.
So before I received the Block for the August edition of Arcade Block, I was already preparing myself for a chance of disappointment. I get these handy dandy emails every week or so hinting at the gear I should be expecting in each new block being filled over the course of a month, and for my six months receiving the block, I knew it would only be a matter of time before the inevitable happened: I got sent a Pop! figure.
"What's the big deal?", I hear you ask. Honestly I find the entire trend and global fascination quite baffling. More than ever we live in an age where plastic crap could net you a fortune and companies still crop up everywhere with some new sculpt of a pop culture icon, no doubt this being a big clever point of the branding Pop! for these desk and shelf clutterers. Me, I don't dig them. I don't really like their design in general, and knowing that they've become a new staple of modern day nerd-dom I knew I'd end up with one sooner or later. One of the biggest issues I have with this is the sheer number of these things that exist, and so, it was more than likely I'd also get one I either don't want, but worse, really dislike.
I got a character called Val, from the game Evolve released earlier this year. Thanks to work, I've been so removed from a lot of the year's high end gaming that I actually had to look this one up.
But that's just this chunky plastic box filler. It's just as well that the other few items were either flat or pretty small.The small thing included this month was a 3-pack of rubber "Nommies", little collectible figures from the game Cut the Rope, and while cute, I feel they were a useless and rather crappy addition. One of the flat things actually fits into that category I always favour, the Useful items, but this month I'm rather torn over the application of these NES cartridge themed video game coasters. I love them, I'd love to use them, EXCEPT they are made of cardboard and would be ruined from use. The collector in me is winning the fight over the nerdy housewife… And then, the other two flat things actually sit at polar ends of my enjoyment so far for this block.
The first being another Arcade Block exclusive album of videogame and pop culture themed music, from the composers DJ Organic and Mega Ran.
I've been building up a happy collection of video game music these days with several albums by the band Kirby Krackle, I have then picked up things like the official Sm4sh and Mario Kart 8 soundtracks, and the Arcade Block's exclusive version of Video Games Live, the gaming music orchestra album with tracks only available if you get Arcade Block.
So suffice to say, for me a highlight is when I get music in these boxes as it only gives me more content to listen to, and it one of the best ways to make me feel I've received my money's worth, not just filled my desk with junk.
It's true that Coin Op Crush by DJ Organic and Mega Ran is largely unknown to me, but video game homage music made with love can rarely go wrong. At the end of the day I have some new material to listen to, and may even do a review on it in the future.
What I did try to review was this Arcade Block exclusively covered #1 of Sonic Worlds Unite: Battles.
Yeah, I know, "What the hell is that meant to be?" Well anyone who's been following the Archie run of Sonic the Hedgehog and the more recent Mega Man series might be aware of the crossover event of Worlds Unite. No prizes for any guesses here what that's all about… But what the two one-shot issues of Worlds Unite: Battles does is present three separate encounters from the event and plays out the fight, because they apparently didn't have enough pages in the main run… And if you are like me, and haven't been following these events, then attempting to read these unrelated, no context fight scenes will only confuse and frustrate you out of no godly clue what's going on.
And it's a shame, I love all things Mega Man and I'm even pretty partial to Sonic, hard not to love a speedster right? But this… thing, not only fails to really explain what this supplement battle collection is really there for, but honestly, it's dreadfully written. The dialogue is beyond lame or corny, the sequences of events don't flow very well, and for passable to borderline decent art that I've always loved about the Archie run of Mega Man and Sonic comics, it really failed to grab me. This one off book did not make me want to go looking for this series, and I feel it was a pretty big fail on Arcade Block's part to include this. I was going to try and review this book, but I can barely stand to READ it all the way through.
Finally, aside from one chunk of plastic figurine and a bunch of flat, stackable stuff, I also got an extra shirt this time. As you know by now if you've made it through six of these unboxing articles, every block has a shirt and every now and then there are two. One is a caution sign for the Last of Us fungus zombies, and the other is a sweet Darth Vader reaper themed shirt. I think both of these are more up Andy's alley but hey, more shirts is good.
So that's the July Block. It's not been my favorite one so far, I'll be honest here; It IS a random box of gear. I know this, but I can definitely say that the Nerd Block team failed to really impress me, or even excite me this time around. I could have not received this block and not really missed it. What do you think? Do you get the Arcade Block? What other subscription boxes do you get, if any?
Leave me some comments! Until next time, take care!

"Selections from the Permanent Collection" features highlights from the Neue Galerie's superb holdings of German and Austrian fine and decorative arts from the first half of the twentieth century. It incorporates a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, and decorative arts. Though the exhibition is ongoing, the installation is updated regularly.
In the past, featured artists have included Austrian painters Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, and the designers of the Wiener Werkstätte. German movements such as the Brücke, the Blaue Reiter, Neue Sachlichkeit, and the Bauhaus have also been explored.
The painting Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907) by Gustav Klimt is on permanent display as part of this exhibition.
The current installation will fill two galleries with Austrian art, featuring paintings and works on paper by artists Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, and Alfred Kubin.
Because only two galleries of art will be open to the public, admission to the museum will be pay-as-you-wish.

My Research
During my tenure at Simon Fraser University, I researched Medical Imaging and Operating Systems with the Medical Imaging Analysis Lab (MIAL) and the Systems Networking and Architecture Research Group (SYNAR). My research all started in CMPT 419 (Special Topics in Artificial Intelligence - Biomedical Image Computing). The class itself was a thrill, and my professor suggested that I work on DeformIt as it would allow me to use my web development and design experience. After the class, Ghassan asked if I wanted to continue to work on the project. There was no looking back.
Specifically, I enjoy researching physiologically/nature inspired algorithms that solve problems in the Medical Imaging Analysis domain. Furthermore, anything that involves the brain or modeling the brain highly fascinates me. I also wanted to take many of these physiologically/nature inspired algorithms and apply them to the domain of Operating Systems.
The links on the right have a detailed explanation of all of my research projects.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Fill a large bowl with ice water and salt that as well. Drop the broccoli into the boiling water and cook, uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Scoop them out of the water and immediately plunge the broccoli into the ice water; this stops their cooking and sets their color. Cool, remove them from the ice water, and pat dry. Repeat with the asparagus, cooking 1 to 2 minutes depending on how thick they are. Arrange all the vegetables on a large serving platter and serve with the chipotle dip.
For the dressing: Smash the garlic cloves, sprinkle with the salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Scrape the paste into a small bowl, add the remaining ingredients, and whisk well to make a creamy dressing.

Tae Bo creator Billy Blanks and fitness trainer to the stars, Eric the Trainer, took to Bayside's stage last Saturday to kick off their five-city "Celebrity Sweat" fitness tour, a free workout using the same exercises they use to train celebrities and professional athletes.
"Count it! Count it! Harder!" Blanks told the crowd as they bent their knees to a near squatting position and folded their arms inward, elbows touching stomachs, while twisting their torsos to the beat of the dance music.
"Let's go, let's go! Count it: 7-6-5-4 … I don't hear ya'll!" yelled Blanks.
The workout took a page from Blanks' Insane Abs bootcamp DVD series, but instead of a studio with a handful of well-groomed men and women, more than 100 people, ranging from kids to seniors, novices to pros, filled Bayside to practice Tae Bo with the inventor himself.
Tae Bo, a combination of the words and workouts from Tae Kwon Do and boxing, combines martial arts, complete with high kicks and air punches, with fast-paced cardio movements. Blanks got the attention of celebrities when he opened a fitness center in L.A. in the '80s.
By the 90s he did infomercials promoting the workout through his fitness videos. The filmed workouts became a pop culture phenomenon with more than 500 million videos sold.
"It's always got to be a challenge to the will for you to do anything worth doing; you can not be comfortable in a workout." says the chiseled 58-year-old Blanks, who zipped around the stage with his lower leg in a brace from a prior injury to his Achilles tendon. "I look and act like my mind and will, my body is just a biproduct of it."
He recommends that people reserve just 10 to 15 minutes daily to do any workout of their choosing. "How many minutes of the day do you lose?" he asks. "Take the word "try" out of your life — it has no power."
Blanks and Eric the Trainer, who both have studios in California, hope to use the "Celebrity Sweat" tour, now in its third year, to spread the message that physical fitness is the key to maintaining a healthy mind and body. Blanks also emphasized that Tae Bo is a lifestyle and should not to be misconceived as a weight-loss program.
"If you want to lose weight you just have to eat right," he says. "Tae Bo helps people change from the inside, out, to work the mind, body and spirit."
Eric Harper, 29, originally from Burbank, California, drove from Orlando to do Tae Bo with Blanks on Saturday and to reconnect with Eric the Trainer. He credits him with helping him to reduce his body fat in half while he was in California, and says that in just over a year he went from 220 pounds of fat to 185 pounds of muscle.
"Eric's system is so that you can bulk up and build muscle to get that super-hero look with the huge shoulders and chiseled pecs, where as Blanks is all cardio — a high intensity workout not for the faint of heart."
Harper lasted only halfway through his first attempt at Tae Bo on Saturday.
"It was a lot more intense than I expected it to be, but to work out with the ambassador himself, was a great experience."
Eric the Trainer said of the South Floridians: "They're extremely outgoing! And they're definitely not afraid to shake their assets."
He has trained a plethora of celebrities and athletes, from five-time heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield to Kirstie Alley as well as rap stars Nelly and Flo-Rida, who are also ambassadors for "Celebrity Sweat." No stranger to Miami, he trained the executive chefs of South Beach Wine and Food Fest to get them in shape before the festival. Last month, he went on a week-long trip to Abu Dhabi with Food Network celebrity chef Robert Irvine, where he trained U.S. troops in different workout techniques while Irvine prepared gourmet meals for them.
Eric the Trainer stressed to the troops the importance of maintaining proper exercise, diet and sleep habits as the complete package for a better life. He credits the trip as being "life changing" in his quest to give back to people from all walks of life, not just Hollywood celebs.
"We're here to share the message," he told the Miami crowd. "We came here to inspire, but we've been inspired by their spirit."

At the opening convocation of the National Bike Summit, Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) traditionally asks the universal cyclist question: "How many people, right this moment, in America, are stuck in traffic on the way to a health club to ride a stationary bike?"
At a time when our nation, our cities, and individuals across the country are crying out for solutions to climate change, energy dependence, the obesity epidemic, air pollution and congestion mitigation, bicycling should be rising to the fore as a practical, viable and welcome solution that builds strong bodies and stronger communities. With the current debate over health care reform, the federal transportation bill up for re-authorization, and gas prices fluctuating seemingly ever-upward in the midst of an economic downturn, what better time to consider the bicycle as a valid means of transportation, recreation, and inspiration, all fueled by human (will) power rather than foreign oil?
On March 9th-12th, over 600 advocates, representing 50 states and 6 countries, are planning to gather Washington, DC to discuss these very issues. League of American Bicyclists President Andy Clarke recounts the Summit's humble beginnings back in 2000, done on a shoestring budget with little experience and uncertain expectations. Paraphrasing from "A League of Their Own" during an early planning debate regarding feasibility, Clarke exclaimed, "There's no crying in bicycling. We've got to get on and do this!"
And get on they did, bringing over 100 advocates and industry leaders that first year to strategize how they might collectively overcome current obstacles for bicycling to break through as a mainstream transportation mode. That early momentum has propelled the Summit to grow leaps and bounds in subsequent years, with record numbers of attendees—comprised of local and statewide advocates, planners, educators, retailers, and industry representatives—choosing to return year after year, equipped with a far more sophisticated message, stronger relationships, and permanent presence.
Sustainability is shaping up to be a major theme for 2010. Delegates will have the opportunity to meet with elected representatives regarding several important pieces of federal legislation, including the national Complete Streets Act, enabling safe access to public roads for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit users and the mobility-impaired. Here at home, the New York Bicycling Coalition is working valiantly with allies to pass a statewide version, currently before the Legislature, in conjunction with other key initiatives such as the Vulnerable Users Bill and Safe Passing Law. Summit affords attendees a rare opportunity to network across state lines with those that have waged similar campaigns, share successful strategies, and trade words of wisdom. Such knowledge will then be injected back into local communities upon the return home.
WHY ATTEND? Clarke reminds cyclists, "People forget participatory democracy involves people showing up and making a good case for their elected officials to do the right thing. Nothing happens without people doing that…no one's going to do that for us."
Currently, 12% of the American population walk or bike as a mode of regular transportation; the goal is 20% by 2020. For this to be achieved, according to Clarke, the bicycle advocacy movement "needs to persona the fact that [we're] normal and mainstream. Not the cross-country treks or 150 mile rides before Sunday morning breakfast, but the practical, urban, utilitarian trips you don't even think of."
Clarke continues, "Our biggest issue isn't getting people to see that bicycling is a positive, healthy behavior. It's getting individuals to see that it will actually make a difference."
CAN'T MAKE IT TO D.C.? Contact your legislators by phone or email and inform them bicycle advocates are "pedaling what America needs." Stay informed and up-to-date on Summit activities at bikeleague.org

Since 2003, Healy Consultants Group PLC has assisted our Clients with starting their company in Anguilla. Our services include i) Anguilla international business registration ii) government license registration iii) international or Anguilla business bank account opening iv) employee recruitment strategies v) visa strategies and vi) office rental solutions.
Press the link headings below to read detailed, relevant, up to date information.
Advantages of Anguilla company registration
- If properly structured, Anguilla company can legally house international tax exempt profits;
- Up to 100% foreign corporate ownership is permitted. A minimum of one shareholder and one director is required for Anguilla companies, but they need not be residents in Anguilla. Corporate shareholders and directors are permitted. Following registration, shareholders and directors details are not available on a public register;
- Anguilla entity is cost effective and fast, as there are no minimum capital requirements;
- It is not necessary to submit an annual tax return or financial statements to the government;
- It is easy to open global corporate bank accounts to support the Anguilla company. Healy Consultants works with internationally recognised banks such as HSBC, Standard Chartered, and Citibank to provide corporate bank account services;
- An Anguilla company can perform all business activities under one commercial license through a doctrine of "ultra vires.";
- Anguilla is a lesser known UK territory with a highly regulated financial services industry. Consequently, fees, services and real estate are cheaper than compared to Isle of Man or BVI. Financial services companies based in Anguilla benefit from the island's reputation, British company law, and being in the same time zone as New York markets.
Disadvantages of Anguilla company registration
- The lack of public registers makes proof of ownership challenging. Anguilla entity is therefore not recommended for high profile trading operations;
- Anguilla agrees to cooperate with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and share information on bank account holders at Bermudan banks with account holders' governments;
- Anguilla companies might be deemed to be of low credibility due to the nation's reputation as a tax haven.

Zeng Fanzhi

Opening reception for the artist: Saturday, November 17th, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm
They are not real landscapes. They are rather about an experience of miao wu [marvellous revelation]. Miao wu constitutes a restless journey of discovery.
—Zeng Fanzhi
Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present new paintings by Zeng Fanzhi, his first exhibition at the London gallery, following the Hong Kong exhibition last year.
Zeng's aesthetic restlessness epitomizes the evolution of Chinese contemporary art in the post-1989 era, grappling with local history and tradition in the face of external influence and accelerated change. Since the beginning of his career, he has presented a succession of powerfully introspective subjects, from the haunting Hospital paintings to the visceral Meat paintings that juxtapose human subjects with butchered flesh; from the enigmatic Mask paintings to candid and startling close-up portraits; from intimate, existential still-lifes to depictions of pivotal Western cultural figures such as Francis Bacon, whose psychic portraits altered the status of the human figure in twentieth century art. Charged with an underlying psychological tension, Zeng's oeuvre reveals the place of the unconscious and the aberrant in the construction of human experience.
For the past decade, landscape has been a central focus of Zeng's art. In highly tactile scenes, the details of representation often overlap seamlessly with qualities of abstraction, as in certain traditional Chinese aesthetic objects. All are expressionistically rendered with extraordinary attention to the material nuances of the painted surface. In densely worked paintings, such as Pure Land (2012) and Untitled (2012), gnarled branches crisscross over dark terrain, accented with swaths of white, teal, violet and rose. Zeng's fictitious place is at once luminous and bleak, where unearthly bursts of vivid color are trapped in snaking brambles that obstruct yet hold the gaze. Filled with brushwork that is both refined and heavily textured, the thick surfaces underscore the physicality of Zeng's painting process. Against these haunting landscapes, the bare yet resilient trees that survive in such harsh conditions hold the promise of renewal and rebirth.
Several works in the exhibition are inspired by the sketches of Albrecht Dürer. In a reversal of conventional East-West aesthetics, Zeng re-interprets Dürer's intricate imagery and thin, precise brushstrokes—which resonate with traditional Chinese painting—with thick strokes of oil paint layered with a broad brush. In The Hare (2012) and Head of an Old Man (2012), the rabbit fur of the former and the flowing white beard of the latter are rendered as masses of carefully delineated, yet aggressively and broadly executed brushstrokes. In his interpretation of Dürer's drawing Praying Hands (1508)—an iconic image that has been endlessly disseminated and reproduced—Zeng moves beyond the overt symbolism of hands clasped in prayer, intent on rendering the nuances of aging flesh in highly textured impasto.
Zeng Fanzhi was born in Wuhan, China in 1964. Major exhibitions include Singapore Art Museum (2007); Musée d'Art Moderne de Saint-Etienne de Metropole, Saint-Etienne, France (2007); Fundacion Godia, Barcelona, Spain (2009); National Gallery for Foreign Art, Sofia, Bulgaria (2010); and Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai, China (2010). He has participated in numerous international group exhibitions including the first Guangzhou Triennale (2002); the Biennale di Venezia (2009); and "I mondo vi appartiene" at the François Pinault Foundation, Palazzo Grassi, Venice (2011). He will also participate in a major solo exhibition at the the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in October, 2013.
Zeng lives and works in Beiijing.

曾梵志对美学永无休止的追求,代表了1989年以后,中国当代艺术在外来影响和遽变下,与中国历史及传统角力后产生的演变 曾梵志投身艺术界以来,呈献无数引人深思的作品,比如震撼人心的《协和医院》系列,把人体与鲜肉并列的《肉》系列,神秘的《面具》系列,面露讶异的头像和充满存在主义感觉的静物画,还有培根等西方文化先躯的肖像。培根怪异的肖像画改变了人像在二十世纪艺术的地位,而曾梵志的作品充满精神张力,揭示了构建人类体验中无意识和偏离正轨的一面
过去十年,曾梵志以创作风景画为主 他描绘的风景充满质感,细节完美结合了抽象主义的特质,与若干传统中国美学主体相似 他以表现主义的手法作画,非常讲究画作表面颜料的细微变化 在《无题》(2012年)里,大片的白色、青色、紫色和玫瑰红衬托着深色背景上纵横交错的枝桠 曾梵志构想的世界既明亮又荒凉,鲜艳的色彩困在荆棘里,挡住视线,同时又惹人注目 他的笔触细腻而充满质感,厚实的表面强调了绘画的过程。在诡异慑人的风景里,能在恶劣环境下生存的秃树,带有重生的希望
本次部分展出的画作灵感源自阿尔布雷特•丢勒的素描 曾梵志一反传统的东西美学,以粗画笔涂上厚厚的颜料,重新演绎丢勒细致复杂的画面和精准纤细的笔触,呼应中国的传统水墨画 《兔子》(2012年)里的兔毛和《智者》(2012年)里的白胡子虽然笔触粗犷,轮廓却非常细致 在曾梵志的笔下,丢勒最广为流传和临摹的作品《祈祷》(1508年),超越了双手紧握祈祷的表征意义,极具质感的厚颜料还呈现衰老时肉体的细微变化
曾梵志在1964年生于中国武汉,曾在新加坡美术馆 (2007年)、法国圣艾蒂安现代美术馆(2007年)、西班牙巴塞罗纳高弟基金会(2009年)、保加利亚索菲亚国家外国美术展览馆(2010年)和中国上海外滩美术馆(2010年)等举办展览,也曾参加多次国际群展,包括首届广州三年展(2002年)、威尼斯双年展(2009年)和意大利威尼斯格拉西宫皮诺基金会的"I mondo vi appartiene"(2011年)等 在2013年10月,他将会在法国巴黎市立现代美术馆举行大型个展

Having a baby not only changes your life, it also changes your body. Pregnancy affects every part of your body and, despite what the tabloid celebrities might lead you to believe, getting rid of the extra weight can be challenging.
Here are a few tips on what you can do to help your body bounce back and lose the baby weight in a healthy way:
Drinking plenty of water throughout the day prevents you from getting dehydrated. It also fills you up so you don't eat as much and can help to speed up your metabolism. This is especially important when you're trying to lose weight after pregnancy as you may not have as much time to fit in regular exercise. When you're an active mum, getting your recommended eight glasses of water a day can be difficult. In order to maximise the amount of fluid intake, make sure you have access to a bottle of water at all times throughout the day.
It may seem impossible to get a full 8 hours sleep when you have a baby summoning you like clockwork throughout the night, but sleep is an all important ingredient in the fight to shed post-baby weight. When you're tired, your body releases cortisol and other stress hormones that can promote weight gain. To get the maximum amount of shut eye, catch as many naps as you can during the day and go to bed early.
Crash diets are not healthy, especially for a mother with a newborn. You should consult with your health care professional to develop an eating plan based on your age, activity level and weight loss goals. Most nutritionists recommend eating a well-balanced variety of foods but no matter how much you want to lose weight, try not to dip below 1,800 calories a day, particularly if you are breastfeeding.
Diet is important, but it's only one part of your post-pregnancy weight loss plan. Regular exercise can boost your metabolism and help you fight off those post natal blues. Find an activity you enjoy and plan it into your week. You also need to incorporate aerobic and strength training exercises after pregnancy to burn calories and keep your muscles and bones strong.
Experts say one of the easiest ways to begin a postpartum exercise routine is by walking. Exercising on a treadmill for 30 minutes can help you get into shape and improve your fitness level, all from the comfort and convenience of your own home. Doing 30 minute treadmill workouts four to five times every week will help you burn up to 300 calories per session, depending on intensity level, your weight and age.

With over 100 locations across the country, CardioTech are the most trusted fitness equipment company among new mothers. With packages starting at just $10 a week, having your very own home gym is easy and affordable.If you are ready to lose your baby weight and reclaim your post pregnancy body, contact CardioTech today.

Nigerian midfielder Mikel leaves Chelsea for China
Nigeria captain John Obi Mikel announced on Friday he is leaving English Premier League leaders Chelsea to join Chinese side Tianjin TEDA.
He is the latest star to head to the Chinese Super League, after the high-profile signings of Chelsea team-mate Oscar by Shanghai SIPG and Carlos Tevez by Shanghai Shenhua in recent weeks.
Midfielder Mikel has not featured at all for Chelsea under manager Antonio Conte, who took over in July.

"After 10 years, 374 appearances and 11 trophies, it is time for me to say goodbye," Mikel said in a letter posted on his Twitter account.
"I haven't featured as much this season as I would have liked, and at 29 I still have many years in the game ahead of me. With this in mind, I feel now is the time to seek a new challenge.
"I'm delighted to be joining Tianjin TEDA FC in China, at a time that the Chinese Super League is really taking off.
"I look forward to helping Tianjin TEDA FC continue to grow both on and off the pitch in the next few years."
In his farewell letter, Mikel reflected on his career at the Blues.
"I joined Chelsea as a 19-year-old kid from the Norwegian Premier League, making my debut in the Community Shield," he said.
"I say goodbye as a champion of England, a champion of Europe and proud captain of my national team."
Mikel gave no details about the contract he has signed.
He joined Chelsea from Norwegian side Lyon in 2006 following a legal wrangle with Manchester United, who had previously announced his signature.
The elegant holding midfielder picked up 11 pieces of silverware during his time at Stamford Bridge, including two Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the 2012 Champions League.
But he has not played a single minute of first-team football since the arrival of Conte, with N'Golo Kante, Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas all ahead of him in the midfield pecking order.
Mikel has been capped 78 times by Nigeria, scoring five goals, and was a member of the team that triumphed at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.
Brazilian midfielder Oscar, 25, landed in Shanghai on Monday for a reported Asian transfer record 60 million euros ($63 million) deal.
China ordered a clampdown on Thursday on the mega sums being shelled out on foreign football stars after the high-profile signings of Oscar and Tevez, reportedly now the highest paid player in the world commanding 38 million euros a season.
There has to be action against "irrational investment" and the government will "regulate and restrain high-priced signings and make reasonable restrictions on players' high incomes", a state General Administration of Sport spokesman warned.
Insolvent clubs could be kicked out of China's Super League, which has been spending more than the English Premier League in recent transfer windows to draw top names.

McGraw-Hill Nursing Entrance Exam Study Guide Corrections
Hey Guys I was wondering if anyone had the corrections for the McGraw-Hill's Nursing School Entrance Exam book that were sent to them from McGraw-Hill's publisher. I was so quick to order it the other day and didn't read anything about mistakes made in the book until today. If you would please send them to me I would greatly appreciate it, or if you know of any other great TEAS study guide books/sites that would be helpful as well. Thanks!

Best International Cell Phone Plans
You come home from vacation. You're relaxed. You're refreshed.
Then you check your cell phone bill and find that you owe $800.
International roaming rates are nothing to mess around with, so it's important to know what you're on the hook for before you travel abroad. We've surveyed the mobile landscape and picked out the carriers and plans that are most friendly to frequent out-of-country travelers.
Keep in mind that bringing your own phone with a U.S.-based plan might not be the most cost-effective option.
» MORE: NerdWallet tracks your spending on food, travel, bills and more
Our recommendations
Best postpaid international roaming plans
Best prepaid international roaming plans
Best postpaid international roaming plans
For most countries, T-Mobile is where it's at. The carrier includes unlimited texting and 2G data in more than 140 countries with every T-Mobile One plan. Talk costs 20 cents per minute, a relative bargain compared with other international voice rates.
If you can't go without high-speed data for the trip, you can upgrade to T-Mobile One Plus for an extra $5 per month. This upgrades your international roaming data speeds to 3G.
In Mexico and Canada, you get access to your monthly 4G LTE data allotment, plus unlimited talk and text, all included with your plan. Few other carriers comes close to beating that.
Sprint's Global Roaming international add-on — which you can sign up for at no charge — is also worth a look. Sprint gives you free texting, free 2G data and 20-cents-per-minute calling in most countries around the world.
Things to Know
- T-Mobile: You have the potential to get 4G LTE in Mexico and Canada, but it's not guaranteed everywhere. Wi-Fi calls back to the U.S., Canada and Mexico are free from included countries. Wi-Fi calls between included countries are charged at the same rate as mobile talk, 20 cents per minute.
- Sprint: You can purchase high-speed data passes to get LTE data download speeds abroad
How They Compare to other carriers
- Verizon: $10 for every day you use your phone outside of the country. In Mexico and Canada, it's $5 per day per line. You keep your Verizon talk, text and data allowances. The carrier also offers monthly and pay-as-you-go international roaming prices.
- AT&T: The basic international plan costs an extra $40 per month for unlimited texting, $1-per-minute talk rates, and 200MB of 2G data (25 cents per MB afterward)
Best prepaid international roaming plans
Only two prepaid carriers allow international roaming beyond North America: Google's Project Fi and MetroPCS.
While abroad with Project Fi, you get up to 3G data speeds (and sometimes even 4G, depending on the country) at a rate of $10 per GB, plus unlimited texts. You'll be charged only for the data you use, with no overage fees. Voice rates in most frequently visited countries are 20 cents per minute and can be even cheaper over Wi-Fi.
MetroPCS' World Calling add-on has a good bit of South America covered, plus Mexico, Canada, Spain, Switzerland, Japan and Thailand. World Calling costs $10 extra per month and gets you 200 minutes of talk, 200 text messages to send (unlimited received) and 200MB of data while you're in those countries.
Things to Know
- Project Fi: You'll have only four phone options: the Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6 and Google Pixel. Stateside, Project Fi uses a combination of networks: Sprint's, T-Mobile's and U.S. Cellular's, plus public Wi-Fi when available.
- MetroPCS: It also offers Canada Unlimited service and Mexico Unlimited service, each at $5 per month. You get unlimited texts and calls within Mexico or Canada, plus access to as much data as your MetroPCS plan allows, although you're not guaranteed 4G LTE speeds while outside of the U.S.

Alternative options
There are some good options from U.S.-based carriers now, but it's always worth researching carriers in your destination country, especially if you want high-speed data access.
Buying a cheap prepaid phone when you get off the plane can often be much more cost-effective than using your usual plan abroad. Or, you can call your carrier and ask whether your phone is compatible with international SIM cards. If so, you can buy a prepaid SIM in your destination country and simply pop it into your phone for access to the local network.
We evaluated all the major international roaming cell phone plans on the market, including those offered by AT&T, Google's Project Fi, MetroPCS, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless.
To determine the best plans, we looked at the price of the international roaming option before taxes and fees, the price per gigabyte of data, and the price of international calls and texts.

Sandra Day O'Connor Stepping Down|
The big news in politics today is the announcement that Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor plans to retire as soon as a replacement is confirmed.
The announcement is somewhat of a surprise, because it was expected that Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, 80, would be the one to retire first. Democrats had been hoping to keep O'Connor on the bench because, while often siding with conservatives, she had long provided swing votes on liberal issues such as abortion.
The battle over the nominee to replace O'Connor now begins, with Colorado Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Michael W. McConnell a possible replacement. Expect some of Colorado's highest profile elected officials to play a major role as the rhetoric heats up. Sen. Ken Salazar will likely be thrown back into the fray, as he was this spring when he played a vocal role in the fight over filibusters.

IndieCade 2013: A Tangle of Traditions
We continue in the IndieCade tradition—to inspire and challenge the norm: games to inspire, computer games without screens, play without computers, play without games!
In putting together the 2013 conference, we take advantage of the gathering of the intersecting indie tribes to focus on our future, the continued maturing of our work. We bring out the amazing diversity of our communities in a forum for up-and-comers and the well-known alike. And we tease out rising trends and concerns of game-makers from a diverse range of genres and communities. Instead of being content with celebrating our rising importance, we dig in and look closely at topics ranging from sound games to sound in games, from Twine as a text-based story-driven platform to cinematic influence in indie games, and from games as a means of personal expression to games as party-starters.
A lot has changed for indie games since IndieCade started back in 2007. Back then, Passage had just been released, Braid was still a year from release, and Flow was not yet released for the PS3. Just six years later, and the indie game scene has grown in ways few thought possible—we're dominating award shows, successful devs have started backing up-and-coming games, and developers are showing us so many new ways to expand the potential of games and the play experiences they provide. While the last six years have been amazing for indie games, there is so much more we have to do.
Join us as we talk to makers without borders crafting toys, playgrounds, puzzle-bending brains, indie cinema envy, textual tangles, and sound as interface. Come, play and make games with us. Let's get inspired and chart the course of indie games! .
See you in October in sunny L.A Brenda Romero, Chaim Gingold, and John Sharp. Co-Chairs, IndieCade Conference 2013
Over the past six years IndieCade's conference has grown in stature and in size. In an attempt to maintain the intimacy of the professional conference, this year IndieCade has branched out and the conference chairs have created additional programming as part of the Festival for those who are not attending the professional conference. Access to those sessions along with other benefits is now called Festival Plus. It is a great opportunity and our first year of trying this so you will have to let us know how it goes.
In case that is confusing, All Access has access to everything (including the Ivy Substation Theater and the Fosahy Lodge Theater), while Festival Plus has access to everything in the IndieCade Village. And of course, all level of access get to play the games!!
Take a look at all of the sessions and the schedule to get a better overview of all of the sessions. It is pretty fantastic all around!

As Mayor Bloomberg reacted to the Connecticut shooting with calls for "immediate action against guns" and Boston Mayor Menino joined him with calls for a "national gun policy," it was sickening to see the shooting politicized within hours of its occurrence.
It is literally sickening.
These two mayors seem to be eaten up with an anti-gun ideology that keeps them from seeing the world as it is, rather than the world as they wish it was. For in the world as it is, Connecticut has some of the toughest state gun laws in the land: yet this tragedy happened.
The lesson: to react emotionally to this tragedy and seek to limit the gun rights of people throughout America because of the actions of one evil 20-year-old in Connecticut is senseless.
But there's another lesson as well. Here we are, less than two weeks from Christmas, and the families of those killed have suffered losses unspeakable at this time of year. How callous does a politician have to be to use this suffering as springboard for personal agendas? Yet that's exactly what Bloomberg and Menino have done.
Both mayors have proven themselves shameless in this particular.
My heart breaks with the hearts of the fathers who received the phone call that their child was unaccounted for today. This was a tragedy of the first order, not a "crisis" for Bloomberg and Menino to spin to their advantage.

The HUGO by Hugo Boss show made quite an impression at Berlin Fashion Week on Sunday as it took off on the tarmac runways, creating a very surprising setting.
The Tempelhof Airport runways were transformed into catwalks to showcase a collection full of suits, skinny ties and tight turtle necks. Men had slicked back hair and some carried murses. The women looked stern with hair pulled back in tight pony tails, minimal eye makeup and very darkly stained lips. Adding to the intensity was an angry tango melody, as seen in the video.
Most of the other shows will take place in Berlin's Postbahnhof railway station.
"The Postbahnhof is the ideal location to highlight Berlin's distinctive and celebrated architecture," said Maureen Reidy, the CEO of IMG Fashion.
The highlight of Berlin Fashion Week will likely be Zac Posen's resort collection. The young designer says he was actually inspired by a resort island in German's North Sea, Sylt.
"It's a big potential market for us, especially with our fragrance," Posen said of his first collection to be shown in Germany. "It's important to be building a larger presence in Europe."
After Berlin, Posen will head to New York Fashion Week to show his designs when it kicks off on February 2.
Trend Hunter will be covering the highlights of fashion week in New York, so if you want to see the best of the best, be sure to come back!

Like you, I am now called an "executive assistant". In my world, "secretary" was phased out due to the duties that were not *historically* considered part of a secretary's job, such as budget, logistics, purchasing, being added to my job. I now do all the traditional secretary stuff, like make appointments, flights, reservations etc etc, plus I am a credit card holder and buyer for three offices, budget functions, and so much more. "Secretary" has definatly evolved over the years. We're no longer just a pretty face to answer the phones and type letters, thank God. I actually do not like to be called a secretary, to me its a step back in time, and doesn't adequatly describe what I do.
Time to check your secretarial spelling dictionary, Melissa. DEFINITELY.
What a great idea to collect secretary memorabilia. I am also an Executive Assistant today and started in 1977 as Jr. Secretary in the airline business. I am actually on the look-out for an old typewriter to set up as decoration. I already have a black rotary phone which my adult kids think is the coolest thing on my little desk. I remember making coffee for my boss and dialing, transferring and announcing the calls for him. My current boss would laugh if I'd do that now. Thanks for sharing Ellen.
Thanks for sharing, Susanne! Oooooo, you have a rotary phone! How cool! I just got rid of my RED Selectric typewriter. it was just taking up too much room. Sigh. Pink Collar Workers, UNITE!
I think either you or Susanne should buy this.
Hahahaha! Julie! That brooch is fabulous! Thanks for the link.
LOL that's why I have spell checker! That's a word I always get wrong, you'd think I'd learn.

Another secretary out here..a bunch of were laughing the other day that today's millenials would not know what carbon paper or a typewriter eraser were for!! Definitely dating myself..

A girl (who is usually hot) that is used for "luck" in a real turtle racing event. Each contestant begins by having an attractive girl bend over and very slowly place (or "drop") a real living turtle inside the center of the racing circle which is the starting point of the race. There are many ridiculous rules such as "no bent knees" and "no pointing at the turtles" which is really just a device to get the girl to bend over for the crowd as much as possible. Usually the hotter the girl, the longer it will take for her to drop the turtle because the referee will find fault. Eventually, they offer helpful advice such as "spread your legs" so her knees won't bend while bending over.

Pentium 4 1.5GHz
BenchMarks' Results Analysis
As you can see, our various benchmark results aren't as promising as the Pentium 4 CPU can be on the paper: if the Pentium 4 is hopefully always on top, most of the time it's only with a small advance that doesn't let people presume it's 500 Mhz faster than a Pentium III 1GHz. Apparently 500 MHz aren't enough to make the difference but this is due to various things: from the fact that actual benchmarking tools don't take into play the specific Pentium 4 intrinsic characteristics and so don't reveal its unbelievable new powerful capacities especially for high demanding multimedia operations like coding into MPEG 2, ripping, etc to the fact that no applications are yet SSE2 ready: the Pentium 4 is to our eyes like every good wine by taking age it'll become better & better especially when applications will exploit its capacities. It's like evaluating a Ferrari on a small country road. In order to better understand this we have included an excellent point of view from the Linley Gwennap Group:
"Performance data for the recently released Pentium 4 shows the chip's unique
characteristics, which will affect the way Intel markets the processor. In 1995,
when Intel began designing Pentium 4 (aka Willamette), the first MMX chip had
not been released. The designers realized, however, that by the time Willamette
reached the market, MMX would spur demand for multimedia applications and that
those applications would become key measures of PC performance. Indeed, now that

Telstra is progressively switching off copper wire and HFC cable networks for phone and broadband services in areas where the NBN Co has been switched on for 18 months or more. Strata buildings in the NBN fibre footprint in those areas MUST switch over to NBN based services before the switch off date to continue receiving services for lifts, fire panels and other facilities.
Act now. You may find that you need to use a combination of telecommunications pathways to meet the reliability target set in the Australian Standard. (AS) 1670.3 (fire detection, warning, control and intercom systems - system design, installation and commissioning - Fire alarm monitoring).
What Do You Do When the NBN Comes to Town?

Handicapping Horse Racing vs. Other Sports
PredictionMachine.com's Paul Bessire weighs in on the launch of Predicteform.com and the differences between handicapping horse racing and other sports.
When I first got into this business more than a decade ago since starting PredictionMachine.com, many people have asked me about analyzing horse racing. My dad, a retired teacher, has been an ardent voice among that group. Though I have been interested in the sport and live near several top tracks, I continually resisted. Building, tweaking and improving six engines for six sports in what I believed to be more exploitable markets is tough enough, not to mention maintaining 600 rosters of teams in the sports that we currently cover.

Japanese artist recreates iconic Renaissance paintings with unique combination of anime and pop art styles
There are many historical paintings from around the world that all of us recognize, such as Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper. So what would these iconic paintings look like if they were created by a Japanese artist? We will never know the answer to that, but we can admire the works of a talented artist from Japan who has recreated some very famous religious works from the Renaissance and turned them into some very cool and modern anime and pop art style paintings.
Hiroshi Mori is a successful Japanese artist most well-known for humorously depicting historical figures as anime characters. For his latest series, Hiroshi took iconic religious paintings from the Renaissance and recreated them in his own style, by combining pop and anime influences. The finished paintings not only show Hiroshi's immense talent as an artist, but bring out a touch of humor to what otherwise are very serious pieces of art.
According to Hiroshi, he has no interest in becoming a professional animator or cartoon artist. Nor is he interested in mastering realistic paintings. "Maybe what I want to become is someone who stands in the gray zone, who is able to make small fun of people from both aspects," he says. "Such thought is quite similar to the urge of adding thick eyebrows to politicians' posters often seen on my way back home from school when I was young." (Drawing on campaign posters in Japan is a crime.) Hiroshi obviously likes to have some fun, and from the looks of his work, he takes having fun very seriously.
You can check out his other paintings on his website at http://www.hiroshi-mori.com.

Your learning environment has access to two machines, one for running the DC/OS master and another for the agent.
The master is responsible for hosting the DC/OS dashboard, Mesos and Marathon. They manage scheduling tasks between the different agents and providing visibility into the cluster health. It is accessible via the DNS name master.
The agent runs tasks deployed via Mesos and Marathon. The agent is capable of running different types of tasks, the most common being Docker Containers. It is accessible via the DNS name agent01.
The interactive terminal is your client. It is configured with the DC/OS CLI and can communicate with both the master and agent.
To begin, ensure the DC/OS cluster is running by executing
launch.sh. The script ensures that the DC/OS Master is running.
Install DC/OS CLI
Once the cluster has started, configure the CLI to talk to the newly started cluster.
dcos config set core.dcos_url https://[[HOST_SUBDOMAIN]]-80-[[KATACODA_HOST]].environments.katacoda.com
The CLI can be viewed to see the state, health and also deploy tasks. We will use this in the next step to inspect the cluster state.

Twitter Sues The US Government For The Right To Disclose Surveillance Requests
from the good-for-them dept
In January, the tech companies and the DOJ settled the lawsuit, with the US government agreeing to specific ways in which tech companies could reveal some information on those orders, but in a very limited way. Basically they could reveal some information in "bands." Depending on how they revealed the info, it could be in bands of 250 people or bands of 1,000 people -- but if you chose the 250 option, you also had to lump in National Security Letters (NSLs), making the information even harder to parse. While this was progress over nothing, it was a pretty small step forward.
That's why we were happy to see Twitter come out in February and say that, while those other companies (including Google, Facebook and Microsoft) had agreed to that settlement, it was not good enough for Twitter, and that the company would keep pushing for the right to say how many FISA orders it had received. Apparently those negotiations with the DOJ haven't gone very well, as the company has now sued the US government over the issue. Twitter claims that it even asked for the ability to publish a redacted transparency report, but the DOJ even tried to block that. The full filing is worth reading.
Twitter seeks to lawfully publish information contained in a draft Transparency Report submitted to the Defendants on or about April 1, 2014. After five months, Defendants informed Twitter on September 9, 2014 that "information contained in the [transparency] report is classified and cannot be publicly released" because it does not comply with their framework for reporting data about government requests under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ("FISA") and the National Security Letter statutes. This framework was set forth in a January 27, 2014 letter from Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole to five Internet companies (not including Twitter) in settlement of prior claims brought by those companies (also not including Twitter) (the "DAG Letter").It will be interesting to see how far this lawsuit goes. Unfortunately, the courts are often willing to give great deference to the government when it insists things need to be secret, but there's always a chance that a court may recognize the problematic nature of how the government gags companies in this manner.
The Defendants' position forces Twitter either to engage in speech that has been preapproved by government officials or else to refrain from speaking altogether. Defendants provided no authority for their ability to establish the preapproved disclosure formats or to impose those speech restrictions on other service providers that were not party to the lawsuit or settlement.
Twitter's ability to respond to government statements about national security surveillance activities and to discuss the actual surveillance of Twitter users is being unconstitutionally restricted by statutes that prohibit and even criminalize a service provider's disclosure of the number of national security letters ("NSLs") and court orders issued pursuant to FISA that it has received, if any. In fact, the U.S. government has taken the position that service providers like Twitter are even prohibited from saying that they have received zero national security requests, or zero of a particular type of national security request.
These restrictions constitute an unconstitutional prior restraint and content-based restriction on, and government viewpoint discrimination against, Twitter's right to speak about information of national and global public concern. Twitter is entitled under the First Amendment to respond to its users' concerns and to the statements of U.S. government officials by providing more complete information about the limited scope of U.S. government surveillance of Twitter user accounts—including what types of legal process have not been received by Twitter—and the DAG Letter is not a lawful means by which Defendants can seek to enforce their unconstitutional speech restrictions.

Dogg Lion's new documentary "Reincarnated" is headed for the Toronto International Film Festival next month, but you can get a look at the reincarnation in this trailer for the film, released yesterday. In it, Snoop reveals the events that led up to his recent trip to Jamaica, where he fully immersed himself in the Rastafarian culture.
Leaving rap icon persona Snoop Dogg behind, Calvin Braudus becomes Snoop Lion, embracing all aspects of the culture, especially Reggae music. In the trailer, Snoop says, "I don't mean no disrespect, I'm tired of rap... Rastafari called me," and from those words, Reggae artist Snoop Lion is born.
The new Snoop, has a new single, "La La La," from his new album, also titled "Reincarnated," to complete the transformation to Snoop Lion. The Lion describes his vision for the album saying, "I want to do a record, a whole record, no rapping." Based on his documentary and album, this is a completely different side to the former rap artist that's here to stay.
