Nuclear power is emerging as an important component of India's energy mix with the potential to provide energy security for the country in the longer term. The integrated energy policy of the country projects 4 to 5 times increase in the installed capacity in the next two decades from the present level of about 200 GW. It is envisaged that by the year 2032 nuclear power will contribute about 63,000 MW to the installed capacity and accordingly a large expansion of nuclear power from the present level of 4,780 MW is planned.
Currently, NPCIL has 20 operating reactors at 6 locations with a total installed capacity of 4,780 MW. Two Pressurized Water Reactors of 1,000 MW capacity each of Russian design (VVERs) are under advanced stages of commissioning. Construction of 4 units of 700 MW Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) of indigenous design has started at two existing sites and a 500MW Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor designed by Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) is being constructed by Bhartiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam (BHAVINI). In addition, plans to construct a number of NPPs of Indian as well as foreign designs are being pursued actively.
Indian industry has built the necessary capability for manufacturing components and for construction of the NPPs meeting the stringent nuclear standards. Strong emphasis has also been placed on research and development in nuclear technology to support this ambitious nuclear power programme. Having achieved safe and reliable operation of about 360 reactor- years spread over 42 years, the Indian nuclear programme has demonstrated a high level of maturity. The safety track record of Indian nuclear power plants has been impeccable without any incident involving significant radioactivity release in public domain. The principle of "Safety First" is adopted in all activities in nuclear power plants. Safety is a continuously evolving process both for the utility and the regulator. To keep pace with advances in technology and evolving safety standards and to effectively use operating experience feedback, AERB requires that safety review of all operating NPPs is carried out periodically and necessary upgrades in hardware and procedures are implemented enhance the level of safety.
The March 11, 2011 accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power station in Japan has given rise to the need for a re-examination of the design and operational features in the NPPs towards meeting the challenge from beyond design basis events of natural origin. The nuclear Industry across the world has conducted detailed reviews to reassess the capability in dealing with such unprecedented situations. In the backdrop of the Fukushima experience, it is most appropriate to deliberate on the various issues related to "Safety in Design, Construction and Operation of Nuclear Power Plants", the theme of the 23rd Indian Nuclear Society Annual Conference (INSAC-2012).
This conference is expected to highlight the vital role that designers, equipment manufacturers, construction agencies, operators, regulators and researchers can play in enhancing the safety of NPPs. The following broad topics are proposed for the invited talks in INSAC-2012.
- Lessons learnt from Fukushima and other nuclear accidents. (Design, Construction & Operation)
- Safety features of advanced designs of NPPs.
- Advances in safety assessments of NPPs.
- Severe accident management strategies for NPPs.
- New insights in off-site emergency plans for NPPs.
- Enhancing operational safety of NPPs.
- Advances in construction & manufacturing technology for enhanced safety of NPPs.

The KISMIF Convenors hereby announces its "Keep It Simple, Make It Fast! (KISMIF) Underground music scenes and DIY cultures" Conference which will take place inPortofrom 9 July to 11 July 2014. The organisation of the KISMIF Conference will be undertaken by the Research Project Keep It Simple, Make It Fast! (PTDC/CS-SOC/118830/2010). The Call for Papers of this Conference is open for presentations to all core areas of sociology, social sciences and also design, illustration, visual arts and performing arts. The KISMIF Convenors inviting experienced and young scholars from various disciplines to participate in the KISMI Conference.
This is the first scientific event to be held inPortugaland in the European framework concerning this subject. Underground music scenes have long been associated with strong DIY (do-it-yourself) cultural practices. Therefore, in a sociological reflection, though open to all other social sciences, we intend to discuss the importance of the musical and artistic underground practices in the contemporary society for its volatility but also undeniable importance in the urban youth cultures.
The urban music cultures concerning the underground are still regarded as illegitimate objects of analysis in the more vast contemporary social theory framework. Yet they play a central role in the functioning of the musical (post)industry and in the emerging digital media landscape. It is also our intention to clarify and highlight musical scenes that pierce contemporary cities and give them rhythm, but also specific forms of identity and cultural and artistic heritage. This three-day conference, explores the contemporary landscape of urban underground music scenes and DIY cultures in a global context.
The Coordination of KISMIF Conference is planning a cultural program related to structuring theme of the Conference in the unique setting of Casa da Música and Oporto city.
Presentations can be related to the following themes
- Social theory developments and complexities in music, arts, youth and urban cultures.
- Historicity, genealogy and diachrony of musical scenes.
- Meanings, identities, urban cultures and youth cultures.
- Aging and gender in the musical underground scenes.
- Urban spaces, musical scenes and new social movements.
- Musical scenes and social networks.
- Heritage, memories and artifacts.
- DIY Careers: social and professional pathways.
- Style, aesthetics and corporality.
- Markets, borders, memorabilia and retromania.

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwire - Feb. 18, 2010) - DiaMedica Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DMA) ("DiaMedica" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company that has discovered and is developing a novel approach to treating diabetes, today announced that, further to its non-binding letter of intent to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sanomune Inc. ("Sanomune") announced December 1, 2009, it has now entered into a definitive share exchange agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with all of the shareholders of Sanomune.
Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, DiaMedica has agreed to acquire from the Sanomune shareholders all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sanomune at closing (the "Proposed Transaction"), being a total of 3,751,463 common shares of Sanomune (each a "Sanomune Common Share") and 20,998,317 preference shares of Sanomune (each a "Sanomune Preference Share") on the basis of 0.517 of a DiaMedica Common Share for each Sanomune Common Share and 0.517 of a DiaMedica Common Share for each Sanomune Preference Share.
As a result of the Proposed Transaction, a total of 12,806,377 DiaMedica Common Shares will be issued to the current Sanomune shareholders, representing approximately 40% of the issued and outstanding DiaMedica Common Shares post-closing, and Sanomune will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of DiaMedica. Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is expected that there will be a total of 32,015,943 DiaMedica Common Shares issued and outstanding.
Approval of the Share Exchange Agreement and the terms of the Proposed Transaction from the board of directors of DiaMedica, including the unanimous approval of the independent directors, was received on February 18, 2010.
Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to certain conditions, including receipt of necessary TSX-V and regulatory approvals (including the exemptive relief described below), approval of DiaMedica shareholders (including the disinterested minority shareholder approval described below), completion of satisfactory due diligence and completion of definitive legal documentation, among others. It is also a condition of closing of the Proposed Transaction that the Sanomune shareholders place the DiaMedica Common Shares received by them in exchange for Sanomune Common Shares into escrow for a period of three years following closing, and the DiaMedica Common Shares received by them in exchange for Sanomune Preference Shares into escrow for a period of four months following closing. Subject to the satisfaction of such conditions, the Proposed Transaction is scheduled to close on or about March 15, 2010.
Background to the Proposed Transaction
Sanomune's lead compound, SAN-61, for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, has demonstrated neural protection (protects brain cells) as well as the ability to trigger neural stem cell proliferation (generates new brain cells). In Alzheimer's transgenic mice treated with SAN-61, research indicates a restoration of neurogenesis to near normal/wild-type levels. The compound also exhibits potent protection against a variety of in vitro challenges such as amyloid beta peptide, hydrogen peroxide and oxygen/glucose deprivation including up to an 80% reduction of neuronal cell death in an Alzheimer's amyloid toxic challenge. Together, the data suggests SAN-61 could protect and regenerate brain tissue and therefore may represent a promising agent for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Previous studies have demonstrated that SAN-61 has a statistically significant and measurable effect on EEG patterns (a marker of cognitive function) in dementia patients. SAN-61 has received regulatory clearance to enter a phase II clinical trial for Alzheimer's disease.
DiaMedica believes the Proposed Transaction will allow it to strategically connect the common base technologies of the two companies, while taking advantage of cost synergies. Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, DiaMedica's initial neurological focus will be on Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases, with the possibility of expanding into autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and type I diabetes. Concurrently, DiaMedica will be advancing its small molecule, DM-71, for type II diabetes.
As a result of the Proposed Transaction, DiaMedica will also acquire Sanomune's panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that triggers the inhibition of glycogen synthetase kinase 3 beta (GSK3B) in vitro. GSK3B has been linked to diabetes, cancer and a variety of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases. This panel of mAbs is currently being tested at leading institutions around the world for these and other indications. The mAbs program will complement DiaMedica's core DM-199 program, which has also been shown to have GSK3B inhibiting activity as a potential follow-on product line.
MI 61-101 and Minority Shareholder Approval
The Proposed Transaction falls within the definition of "related party transaction", as set out in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), as, at the date that the Proposed Transaction was agreed to, certain parties to the transaction were "related parties" (within the meaning of MI 61-101) of DiaMedica and Sanomune. More specifically, CentreStone Ventures Limited Partnership ("CentreStone LP") and its general partner, CentreStone Ventures Inc. ("CentreStone GP"), are each a "control person" of both DiaMedica and Sanomune, Genesys Ventures Inc. ("Genesys") is a promoter of both DiaMedica and Sanomune, and Mr. Eric Johnstone, DiaMedica's Vice-President, Finance, is also a shareholder of Sanomune. The following table sets out the number of Sanomune Common Shares, Sanomune Preference Shares and DiaMedica Common Shares which will be held by CentreStone LP, CentreStone GP, Genesys and Mr. Johnstone immediately prior to completion of the Proposed Transaction, as well as the number of DiaMedica Common Shares to be issued to CentreStone LP, CentreStone GP, Genesys and Mr. Johnstone as a result of the Proposed Transaction, and the number of DiaMedica Common Shares which will be held by CentreStone LP, CentreStone GP, Genesys and Mr. Johnstone upon completion of the Proposed Transaction:
MI 61-101 provides that, in the absence of any applicable exemptions, related party transactions, such as the Proposed Transaction, will be subject to the formal valuation requirements of Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 and the minority approval requirements of Section 5.6 of MI 61-101.
Formal Valuation
Implementation of the Proposed Transaction is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 pursuant to Section 5.5(b) of such instrument, as none of DiaMedica's securities are listed or quoted on any "specified markets" as defined in MI 61-101.
Minority Approval
No exemptions are available from the minority approval requirements of Section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in respect of the Proposed Transaction, and, as such, DiaMedica is required to obtain "disinterested minority" approval (the "Minority Approval") for the Proposed Transaction from the holders of DiaMedica Common Shares at a meeting of such holders. For the purposes of MI 61-101, such approval must exclude any votes attached to DiaMedica Common Shares which, to DiaMedica's knowledge, are beneficially owned or over which control or direction is exercised by: (a) DiaMedica, (b) an "interested party", as such term is defined in MI 61-101, (c) a related party of an interested party, unless the related party meets that description solely in its capacity as a director or senior officer of one or more entities that are neither interested parties nor issuer insiders of DiaMedica, or (d) a joint actor with a person or company referred to in (b) or (c) in respect of the Proposed Transaction.
DiaMedica does not beneficially own, and it does not exercise control or direction over any DiaMedica Common Shares. To the Company's knowledge, there are no other "interested parties" in respect of the Proposed Transaction other than CentreStone LP, CentreStone GP, Genesys and Mr. Johnstone. In the aggregate, such parties beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over, a total of 5,493,523 DiaMedica Common Shares, or 28.60% of the total issued and outstanding DiaMedica Common Shares as of the date hereof.
As the holding of a meeting of shareholders is both costly and time-consuming, DiaMedica has applied to the Ontario Securities Commission for a decision under Section 9.1 of MI 61-101 exempting the Company from the requirement to call a meeting of shareholders to consider the Proposed Transaction, and to send an information circular to shareholders in connection with such meeting, and, in lieu of such requirements, to obtain the Minority Approval for the Proposed Transaction by obtaining the written consent of shareholders representing at least 50% + 1 of the DiaMedica Shares held by disinterested minority shareholders with respect to the Proposed Transaction.
Pursuant to Section 5.14(b) of TSXV Policy 5.3, the TSXV also requires approval of the Proposed Transaction by the disinterested shareholders of DiaMedica. DiaMedica has requested, and the TSXV has determined as part of its conditional acceptance of the Proposed Transaction, that such shareholder approval may be provided by the written consent of DiaMedica shareholders holding at least 50% + 1 of the DiaMedica Common Shares, as evidenced by the signing of consents by such shareholders, if permitted by applicable securities laws.
The information and form of consent to be provided to DiaMedica shareholders whose written consent to the Proposed Transaction is sought will be filed on SEDAR as a "Material Document", and will be accessible at www.sedar.com.

Mother Teresa In My Bruise
Don't even pretend you don't see this simulacrum. And tell me how I
can monetize it.
PS The bruise is from a klutzy move on an exercise ball that was
sitting on the floor at my brother's house when I was trying to
squeeze in my special 10-second abs series. I haven't been to yoga or
Pilates in a while due to traveling and whatnot, so I get myself in
trouble grabbing moments like this one. Or I embarrass my daughter by
doing a handstand on the playground. I understand, from what I've
heard, that some of what is important with yoga is practicing on your
own, say in the morning or some such thing. I cannot imagine getting
myself to keep going without being in a class. Will work on that.
Anyway, what do you see in my arm, if anything? Jesus? The Virgin
Mary? Or be creative. Xo

Chicago Cubs Prospects Progress, Part 10: Christian Villanueva
[Previously: Mark Zagunis, Carl Edwards, Jr., Jeimer Candelario, Ian Happ, Albert Almora, Pierce Johnson, Gleyber Torres, Billy McKinney, Willson Contreras.]
The next prospect up for scrutiny, the tenth we've looked at this winter (and number ten on the mid-season Top 40 list) is a guy that a lot of fans may have forgotten about. Christian Villanueva is a glove-first infielder who is completely blocked as far as starting assignments in Wrigley are concerned, but who may yet have a fair bit of value to offer.
With the exception of six games in Tennessee, Villanueva spent the 2015 season in Iowa, finishing with a line of .259/.313/.437, 18 home runs, a walk rate of 6.9%, and a strikeout rate of just 15.7%. Including the two he hit as a Smokie, his season total of 20 homers was a career high. His Iowa OPS of .751 isn't bad for a defensive specialist, but it was generated in a feast-or-famine form. In June and July, for example, he posted identical OPSs of .848. Prolonged slumps in May and August (.690 and .632 respectively) brought down the overall figure.
Defensively, Villanueva spent most of 2015 on the infield corners, 85 games at third and 35 at first, but he I suspect he has the skill set to be at least passable at second if the need ever arose. In the 2014 winter leagues he even spent 10 games playing in left field for Obregon in Mexico. We could potentially add Villanueva's name to the Cubs list of part time left field options, should he make it to Wrigley.
Barring such an injury, though, I just don't see a scenario in which Villanueva makes the 25-man roster out of spring training. Matt Szczur is the probably the most vulnerable of the currently likely bench candidates, but Szczur has actually out-hit Villanueva in Triple A. If it comes down to those two for the final spot on the bench, given the Cubs' existent infield depth and Szczur speed off the bench, I suspect that Szczur makes the cut. Even in the most unlikely of cases, the Cubs deciding that Baez is good enough in center that they don't need another CF on the bench for example, it is still hard to construct a roster that includes Villanueva (barring injury).
That means the Cubs will have to try to stash Villanueva in Iowa, but that is no safe bet (he is out of options). And even if he does head to Iowa, he will soon be fighting for playing time on the infield corners with the likes of Jeimer Candelario and Dan Vogelbach. Add a few veteran insurance signings to the Iowa roster (the Cubs typically carry a few in Triple A, at least at the beginning of the year) and there may not be room for Villanueva in Triple A either.
And, in a way, that's a good thing. Good, young players who can potentially fill a useful role on a Major League roster are usually kept around. The only reason the Cubs have no room for Villanueva is because of their extreme depth of both infield talent and young players. The lack of a place to play Villanueva means a lot of things have gone very right for the Cubs.
Whether he is traded, claimed, or eventually leaves on his own, with any luck Villanueva will land in an organization that either is rebuilding (where he might have a chance to start) or has some depth concerns on the infield corners. And if he should remain with Iowa for 2016, as unlikely as I think that is, look for him to pick up starts at first and third until Vogelbach and Candelario arrive, and then to continue appearing at those positions as a defensive replacement (particularly at first) or when the Iowa Cubs have need of a DH.

A debit card acts as a hard copy of the information needed to access a bank account.Continue Reading
All banks are interconnected via inter-bank networks like Pulse and Cirrus, among others. This network allows ATMs to quickly determine if there are sufficient funds for making a withdrawal from a bank account.

I've been meaning to post for awhile on "Gas Rush Stories," a series of simple, but captivating short films on America's gas drilling boom made by Kirsi Jansa, a Finnish video journalist currently living in Pittsburgh.
The time is right because Jansa is in the running for a $10,000 grant from the Sprout Fund that could help her sustain and refine this effort to portray the many meanings and realities surrounding hydraulic fracturing, better known as fracking, in Pennsylvania communities scattered over the gas-rich Marcellus Shale.
Jansa has a refreshing style, meaning no style. She listens and records. People state their case and share their feelings. Viewers see lives disrupted and lives uplifted. (Click here for a conversation I just had about some other filmmakers' approaches to fracking.)
Jansa's work, given more visibility, could resonate far beyond Pennsylvania and help communities on other resource frontiers, including just across the state line in New York, resolve conflicts.
If you watch the three-minute trailer above and click on the red heart here to indicate you like it (before Dec. 2), that can help advance her proposal in the grant competition. I clicked.
Earlier this year, I had an e-mail exchange with Jansa about her work: Read more…

A drone drive that's ready to fly!
Seagate Technology today announced the Australian and New Zealand availability of the Fly Drive released earlier this year in partnership with DJI, the world's leading manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The product aims to solve the data demands of drone users as they are creating more content than ever before. As drone cameras gain resolution and drone flight times grow longer, Fly Drive allows users to securely and efficiently store, manage, backup, download and share their photo and video content on location, thanks to its large storage capacity, integrated MicroSD card slot, quick transfer speeds and durable build.
Fly Drive features:
- Up to 2TB of capacity - With this kind of space, Fly Drive can store over 60 hours of 4K 30fps video footage. On a drone like the DJI Mavic Pro, that's more than 250 flights* worth of content.
- MicroSD Card Slot - Managing multiple SD cards, readers and cables in the field is a pain. Thanks to an integrated hub that's UHS-II-rated, it lets the user be more effective in the field by being able to quickly drag and drop 4K files from the MicroSD card to Fly Drive or the computer.
- Protective Bumper - The drive's integrated, protective bumper helps provide shock resistance against the inevitable in the field, like being jostled around or dropped while packing and travelling. Safely tucked inside of the bumper is its USB-C cable, ideal for on-the-spot file transfers.
- USB 3.1 Interface - Compatible with both Mac and Windows, Fly Drive's USB 3.1 Type-C interface allows for fast file transfers with the latest generation Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1 computers.
The Seagate DJI Fly Drive is available for $A179 at Officeworks, JB HiFi and Bing Lee and for $NZ199 at Noel Leeming and PB Tech.

Truth and Vision: 21st Century Realism, Delaware Museum of Art, 22 Oct 2016 - 22 Jan 2017
About Sandra Mendelsohn Rubin
Having studied painting in Southern California in the 1970s, and influenced by William Brice, Sandra Mendelsohn Rubin bucked the trends of conceptual art with her decision to paint representational content. She limits her palette to a small array of colors, exploiting each hue to its maximal value. In her early work, Rubin worked from direct observation, painting her native Southern California landscape from the back of a van, which she then used as the basis for larger paintings. Since relocating to Northern California, Rubin has begun working from digital photographs, and in particular aerial images. "To see the human presence in the context of the natural environment has opened an arena of metaphors and ideas," she has said. "In the end, though, intuition and memory are what shape and form each painting."
American, b. 1947, Santa Monica, California, based in Boonville, California

Volume 19, Number 2 | May 26 - June 1, 2006
Let the beach idea drown, C.B. 1 committee says
By Jefferson Siegel
The last time a beach made news Downtown was decades ago when landfill from the construction of the World Trade Center created a temporary venue for outdoor performances.
Another small strip of beach under the Brooklyn Bridge was the subject of a presentation at Community Board 1s Waterfront Committee Monday night. Four years ago the board in an advisory vote said they did not want the city to develop the beach and last Monday board members and the audience expressed strong doubts for a beach.
The narrow sand strip, about 250 feet long and 70 feet deep at low tide, has been on the boards radar for several years as part of the development of the East River waterfront from the recently refurbished Battery Maritime Building north to East River Park.
The $150-million project is being funded by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation. The beach remained part of the plan as the City Planning Dept. and the L.M.D.C. developed it over the last few years, but it was not included in the changes the city thought it could do within the budget when the project was approved last year. A city financial consultant also spoke Monday night about the waterfronts financial plan and said that studies are still in the preliminary stages, but he hoped the first parts of the new waterfront would open in three years.
The beach presentation didnt propose a sandy oasis for hot weather lounging. Rather, Tribeca resident and avid kayaker Rob Buchanan envisioned a boat and kayak landing at the end of Dover St.
I row in the harbor a lot and thats one of the places where we land, Buchanan said about his idea for the boat landing. Using photos of Downtown riverfronts, Buchanan tried to demonstrate that the gated seawalls surrounding Downtown effectively blocked access to the rivers. One photo of Pier 40 on the Hudson River showed what he described as an inconvenient landing point for rowers and kayakers. He thought the launching points at Chelsea Piers and near the Downtown Boathouse on the old Pier 26 were also unsatisfactory.
Its actually the perfect landing spot, Buchanan said of the East River beach in a calm spot in the water. Its in the lee of Manhattan Island. Its where you want to go if youre in a small boat.
Several board and audience members launched into criticisms of the plan. Joe Hartigan of Rockaway was a firefighter near the proposed beach for twelve years. We would respond to people in the water, he said of the hazards of easy access to the East River. That is a dangerous spot right there, because people will walk in there and dont realize its getting deeper. Once they cant touch the bottom, theyre gone.
This is the central spot, Buchanan said, to go to Governors Island, Red Hook, across the Brooklyn Bridge, up to Queens. Thats why it could be a fantastic public landing for the community.
Several kayaking enthusiasts spoke in favor of the beach landing, including a member of the Downtown Boathouse, who said that, The community has gone absolutely bonkers for kayaking. Theyre sick of this elevated wall on the river.
Its really pretty sterile, Buchanan agreed. Theres also a really large back-eddy between those two bridges, he said of the water currents at the beach location, and that is a very useful thing if youre a paddler or a rower.
Not if youre an eight-year-old kid, though Hartigan chimed in. Ongoing talk of the danger to neighborhood children wandering into the water put a damper on the rest of the presentation.
Linda Roche, chairperson of C.B.1s Waterfront Committee, summed up the boards sentiment after the meeting. Im not a proponent of the beach, quite frankly, she said. I do worry about children and drownings. She was familiar with other small, popular neighborhood beaches in Brooklyn. However, I just dont think its a viable option for us, she concluded. The issue was tabled for future consideration.
The other topic at the meeting was an update on the East River Waterfront project. Todd Poole, vice president of Bay Area Economics, a firm retained to consult on the park project, discussed financing ideas to sustain the 2.1 mile greenway that would stretch from the Battery Maritime Building past the Brooklyn Bridge to the southern tip of East River Park.
We are looking at revenue-generation opportunities that include concession areas such as food concessions, both permanent and non-permanent, he told the crowded meeting room. Poole noted the differences in estimating revenue for a narrow, linear park such as the proposed strip compared with a larger park such as Battery Park or Bryant Park. Food carts, restaurants and kiosks similar to those in the South Street Seaport are under consideration. The city also plans to build pavilions under the FDR Drive for retail and community spaces.
We are probably about halfway through our study right now, Poole said. Several members had questions about developing the park, especially in the area of the Seaports Pier 17. Poole said his firm was still in discussions with General Growth, which owns the Seaport Mall and the rights to develop the former Fulton Fish Market spaces. He told board members he was not permitted to discuss the state of negotiations regarding General Growths plans.
Development questions persisted until Roche reminded the room that, Their task is only to look at different types of revenue generation. They will not be developing the park and, therefore, Poole could not expound on development plans.
Poole did offer potential financials for revenue generation. Food concessions and meeting spaces would offer the best return on usage, he suggested. Using the Union Sq. holiday market as an example, Poole calculated a $400,000 income for the 30 days the market is in operation, a home run-type opportunity, he offered.
The area south of the Brooklyn Bridge would provide better business conditions, Poole noted, with the area north of the bridge, stretching into Community Board 3, becoming More of a promenade, very passive, in terms of revenue generation. That area might have only a few food carts.
Unlike Battery Park City, which assesses the residential buildings on their land, Poole said there was no plan for similar assessments in the area of the park. The optimum goal, he concluded, would be 100% of funding coming from businesses with no need to depend on government grants.
Lee Gruzen, co-chairperson of a new group, Seaport Speaks, proposed that, like other New York attractions, the park be geared towards locals. Build it for residents, she said, and the tourists will come.
When queried about a timetable, Poole hoped work would be underway in 18 months. If done in stages, portions of the park could be completed in three years.

Holidays in Meran
There is no doubt: Meran is a lively metropolis. Just some years ago the city was considered to be a boring place – today it is a vibrant centre of the wellness and spa scene of South Tyrol.Localities in the region Accommodations Meran
Due to the new thermal baths, the wonderful gardens Trauttmansdorff, the noble shopping street, the rich cultural life with music and theatre and the exciting nightlife, Meran is a first-class holiday destination – for everybody, in any time of the year.
Down in the valley Meran is surrounded by fruit orchards and vineyards; high above there are the mighty mountain summits of the Texel group. In the environs, but also in the city itself you will find an interesting mix of Mediterranean flair and alpine cordiality: Italian ice-cream parlors next to shops with Tyrolean bacon, modern buildings à la Matteo Thun next to the venerable Kurhaus, noble boutiques next to traditional shops.
A meeting point for epicures
In Meran, people attach great importance to enjoyment and pleasures – and not only culinary ones. Because here you can enjoy so many things: wonderful promenades, hiking tours through the vineyards, biking tours on varied trails, the blossom in the unforgettable gardens Trauttmansdorff, in the evenings summer concerts in castles and stately homes… In autumn, many wine cellars in Meran and environs invite you to taste the new wine, in winter there is the attractive skiing area Meran 2000 with well prepared slopes.
In short: You will surely not get bored in Meran. Although the spa town has still preserved its traditional image, today it is also a modern holiday destination, offering a lot of fun!

from the National Archives at Footnote.com is the glimpses you
catch either of people's lives or of how things were done back in
earlier times, such as how far genealogy research has come.
Here is another exchange between Jessie Tuttle and
Commisioner G.M. Saltzgaber:
"4650 Fremont Ave So.
Minneapolis, Minn., May 29,1916
Commissioner of Pensions
Dear Sir:-
Will you please inform me how many pages there are in the
Rev. War pension claims of the two following:
Moses Barrows enlisted 1780 Res at enlistment, Plympton,
Ma. Married Elizabeth Colby at NewTown, N.H. July 29, 1789.
She was pensioned as his widow-application dated Oct 20,
1838. Res. at date of application Irasburg, Vermont. He enlisted
1780 under Capt David Holbrook and Colonel Shephard, Mass.
Lemuel Stimson
Enlisted May 1775-8 mos. Nathan Fuller Capt. Thos. Gardiner,
Enlisted May & June 1776. 5 mos. Capt Charles Miles, Col. Reed.
Date of Application Oct 16-1832 Res at date of application
Ashburnham, Mass. Born July 11 -1758 Weston, Mass.
died Ashburnham Sept 22, 1840
and greatly oblige
Mrs. Geo. E. Tuttle"
There is a round U. S. Pension Office postmark of May 31, 1916
By this time Jessie must have been noticed by the clerks of the
Pension Dept. Image 51 of the file seems to be some sort of inner
office memo about this request:
"Moses Barrows, Born in Mass. where he lived until after the
Revolutionary war. Presumably in a Mass. Regt. Died in Irasburg
Vt. His wife Elizabeth is said to have drawn a pension. It is not
known whether he did. Mrs. Barrows also died in Irasburg, Vt.
Lebbeus Hammand, said to have been in troops of the Conn. line.
The Company was raised, however in Westmoreland Co. Penn
(Wyoming) He is spoken of as the "famous Indian scout." Escaped
from the massacre of Ft. Wyoming in 1778. Drew penson. Died in
Tioga Co. N.Y.
Lemuel Stimson, of Weston Mass. Seems to have been at Bunker
Hill with Col. Gardner who was killed there.
I do not know precisely what is wanted but, but presumably the
service. I suppose also the lady thinks that there will be a full
history of the soldier's experience. If the record should show
anything more than the bare service any particulars would of
course be thankfully received. I imagine that it will be pretty
difficult to verify the service.
H.E. Warner
Bureau of Pensions
Thro Marsh's Desk"
And so a reply was sent to Jessie Tuttle:
"June 5, 1916,
Mrs. G. E. Tuttle
4650 Fremont Ave South,
Minneapolis, Minn.
In reply to your letter of the 29th instant, you are advised that
under the Act of August 24, 1918, a charge of 15 cents is made
for each sheet photographed, with 25 cents additional for
certification if that is desired. If a certified copy be ordered it
will be necessary to place on the certificate a ten cent internal
revenue documentary stamp. Each stamp should be forwarded
and not included in the remittance.
The proper amount should be forwarded by certified check,
draft, money order or cashier's check.
In the pension claim, Lemuel Stimson, Widow File 7222,
Revolutionary War, there are eleven sheets to be copied, the
cost would be 1.65 uncertified, or $1.90 certified and a stamp as
described above.
In the pension claim, Moses Barrows, Widow File 18560, Rev-
olutionary War, there are ten sheets to be copied, the cost
would be $1.50 uncertified or $ 1.75 certified and a stamp also.
Very respectfully,
G.M. Saltzgaber
Commissioner "
Handwritten below the last paragraph and off in the is the
"The ten sheets are 6 pieces, namely -
widow's decla. of Oct 20 1838-
letter of F. S. Durwage dated Boston Sept. 9,1840
town record of Concord Feb. 26, 1839
affidavits of Joshua Johnson &
Experience " } Oct 17,1838
& unsigned memorandums.
These are the only essential papers."
But as we shall see, Jessie Tuttle didn't quite yet obtain her

The Linux Foundation's CII Adds Hitachi and NEC to Roster of Companies Working to Identify and Fund Open Source Projects in Need of Assistance
The Linux Foundation's CII Adds Hitachi and NEC to Roster of Companies Working to Identify and Fund Open Source Projects in Need of Assistance
CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Aug 20, 2014) - LINUXCON & CLOUDOPEN -- The Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII), a project hosted by The Linux Foundation that enables technology companies, industry stakeholders and esteemed developers to collaboratively identify and fund open source projects that are in need of assistance, today announced new backers. Hitachi and NEC will work with existing CII members to collaboratively identify and support the critical infrastructure projects most in need of support.
These newest backers join other members of CII who include Adobe, Amazon Web Services, Bloomberg, Cisco, Dell, Facebook, Fujitsu, Google, HP, Huawei, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NetApp, Rackspace, salesforce.com and VMware. Comments from the newest members are included below.
"Hitachi and NEC are prioritizing support for some of the world's most important open source projects and will help the industry move from crisis-driven responses to a measured, proactive approach to funding projects that are most in need," said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation. "Open source projects are the foundation for most of today's global infrastructure and need be supported by the companies and users who rely on them."
CII provides funding for fellowships for key developers to work full-time on open source projects, security audits, computing and test infrastructure, travel, face-to-face meeting coordination and other support. The Steering Committee, comprised of members of the Initiative, and the Advisory Board of industry stakeholders and esteemed developers, are tasked with identifying underfunded open source projects that support critical infrastructure and administering the funds through The Linux Foundation.
Projects currently receiving funding include Network Time Protocol, Open Crypto Audit Project (OCAP), OpenSSH and OpenSSL. Other projects are under consideration and will be funded as assessments are completed and budget allows.
The Advisory Board includes Linux kernel developer Alan Cox; security and cryptography researcher Matthew Green; Radio Free Asia's Open Technology Fund Director Dan Meredith; professor of law and legal history at Columbia University and founder of Software Freedom Law Center Eben Moglen; Fellow at the Berckman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School Bruce Schneier; Program Officer for Human Rights for MacArthur Foundation; Eric Spears; and Linux kernel developer Ted Ts'o.
The computing industry has increasingly come to rely upon shared source code to foster innovation. But as this shared code has become ever more critical to society and more complex to build and maintain, there are certain projects that have not received the level of support commensurate with their importance. CII changes funding requests from the reactive post-crisis asks of today to proactive reviews identifying the needs of the most important projects. By raising funds at a neutral organization like The Linux Foundation, the industry can effectively give these projects the support they need while ensuring that open source projects retain their independence and community-based dynamism.
"The Core Infrastructure Initiative is going to address the needs in today's software industry -- a neutral, collaborative project that allows companies to support the work of today's most critical open source projects," said Susumu Okuhara, General Manager of Service Development Operation, IT Platform R&D Management Division, Hitachi. "We're proud to be a part of this group and look forward to the impact it can have on the long-term health of our global infrastructure."
"NEC has long valued Linux and open source software and supported their development," said Naoki Hashitani, vice president, NEC. "CII gives us the opportunity to extend the support to open source projects and developers who might not be funded or supported if there were not initiatives like CII."
Anyone can donate to the Core Infrastructure Initiative fund. To join or donate or find out more information about the Core Infrastructure please visit https://www.linuxfoundation.org/programs/core-infrastructure-initiative

You are a sordid beast! By the way, millennials' work harder, are better educated, and have to clean up your generations' mess. Salute the generation that didn't vote Trump in, ya rat *******!
Two things:
What Val said at the top of the page...that shit is FIRE!
Secondly, you are super mean! If my team got stomped in the playoffs like that and you rubbed it in I would cuss you until my head exploded!
Savage beast!
It is a really stong form of indoctrination .... Just my opinion obviously! But I find it ironic that you are taught to rise up against tyranny and be fearful of an oppressive government and socialism, yet you blindly obey a state run police force that appears to be hugely overstepping the boundaries that they would have in most other western countries! Freedom might be the greatest lie ever sold.
Mr Mayor needs no one.

Ted Lilly Hurt Now, Too?
This can't be real. Yet, this is our existence, friends.
Apparently Ted Lilly could be bumped in the rotation for a couple days, as Sons of Ivy notes:
Per Wittenmyer, because of his knee.
Fortunately, this follows the All-Star break, so it would be relatively easy to rearrange the rotation as necessary to accommodate Lilly without using any fill-ins.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
BSOD while playing games, Framework Violation
Hey guys, been having a problem for awhile and have not been able to figure out a solution on my own, and this seemed like a good place to reach out.
Recently I switched out the motherboard in my set up, and did a clean install of Windows 7. I'm not 100% sure when it started, but sometime between then and now something got messed up and now my computer likes to crash whenever I'm playing games. There's no set time to how long I'll be playing that it will happen, but it is something I just assume will happen at some point when I play games. I've put off actually fixing this problem too long, so I'm reaching out for help.
I do overclock, but I also monitor temperatures. I'm pretty confident it isn't a temperature issue. It also doesn't matter how demanding the game is, it will crash if I'm playing cutting edge 3D game with all the bells and whistles enabled, or if I'm playing a simplistic 2D platformer. I don't even necessarily have to really start playing, it sometimes crashes as soon as the opening menu pops up. The BSOD mentions that there was a Wiindows Driver Framework Violation, so I'm assuming one of the drivers is corrupted or not playing nice with another one.
Everything I can think of is up to date, but I could be missing something. I'm not too savvy on the software side of computers, so I'm hoping someone here can help me. This will be a much needed learning experience.

About Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP, also known as retrolental fibroplasia, or RLF), is an eye disease that can affect babies who are born premature. If not timely treated, these babies may suffer complete blindness.
Anatomy & Risk Factors
The blood vessels in a baby's eyes begin developing in utero at 3 months, and that development continues through birth. The development is disrupted when a baby is born early—the blood vessels can stop growing, or in severe cases, can develop abnormally.
Other risk factors include:
- Apnea (irregular breathing)
- Heart disease
- Infection
- Respiratory disease
- Low heart rate (bradycardia)
- Blood transfusions
- Low blood oxygen or acidity
- High amounts of carbon dioxide in the blood
Doctors should screen all babies born sooner than 30 weeks, or who weigh less than 3 pounds at birth, and should consider screening when these other risk factors are present. Babies with this condition may show signs of crossed eyes, nearsightedness, abnormal eye movements, or whiteish pupils. The only way to test for retinopathy of prematurity is with an eye exam, which may be performed as early as four weeks after birth. The scheduling of these eye exams is based on many factors, including the degree of prematurity. If the exams are not performed at the specified times, then irreversible injuries can occur.
Injuries Caused by Retinopathy of Prematurity
The degree of injury to a baby typically depends on how prematurely the baby was born. These injuries fall across a spectrum, ranging from nearsightedness to total vision loss. Babies who face this condition early in life are at a greater risk to eventually develop other eye conditions, including strabismus, glaucoma, cataracts and myopia.
When retinopathy of prematurity is detected early, treatment can offer a chance for normal vision. Treatments include:
- Oxygen treatment
- Freezing to prevent abnormal blood vessels from spreading (cryotherapy)
- Laser therapy to prevent abnormal blood vessels from spreading (photocoagulation)
- Surgery to repair detached retinas
Babies who are born prematurely should be treated with oxygen, which can stimulate the growth of blood vessels in the eyes.
Doctor Negligence
There are three stages where doctors can be negligent, which can cause or exacerbate retinopathy of prematurity injuries:
- Preterm Labor: Because the most significant risk factor for ROP is prematurity, doctors must use best efforts to prevent babies from being born premature. That means that obstetricians must be aware of the risk factors for prematurity, and must closely monitor the mother for signs of preterm labor. When preterm labor is identified, medicine can be used to stop contractions, and other options are available.
- Failure to Identify Retinopathy of Prematurity: When a baby has any of the risk factors for ROP, including prematurity, the obstetrician must instruct parents about the signs and symptoms of ROP, and the baby should be scheduled for eye screening tests. Those tests must be performed at very specific intervals in order to determine whether the blood vessels in the eye are fully developed, developing normally, or developing abnormally. Importantly, parents must follow the doctors' instructions exactly, particularly about the timing of testing. If the baby's ROP is not timely identified, the baby is at risk for severe injuries, including permanent vision loss.
- Failure to Treat Retinopathy of Prematurity: When Retinopathy of Prematurity is diagnosed, the baby's eye doctor (ophthalmologist) should treat the baby quickly, using modes of therapy including cryotherapy, laser therapy and surgery, when necessary.
Contact us
You and your baby may have a retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) lawsuit if your baby has vision problems. We can examine your medical records to determine if your obstetrician did everything he could to stop preterm labor, and to make sure your doctors timely tested and treated your baby for eye problems. These eye injury lawsuits can involve hospitals, obstetricians, neonatologists, pediatricians, and pediatric ophthalmologists. A successful lawsuit can provide your child with the money to pay for important therapies and surgeries, as well as assistance that may be needed later in life. Contact our birth injury lawyers at (855) 712-7818 or online.

Content usage reports
Reports contain information on how and where content is accessed. Publishers can use our online portal to generate content access reports for their podcasts and live-streams over any time range, with some easy defaults like "Today" and "Past Month":
Basic podcast reports
Subscribers to any of our podcasting plans has access to these sections:
- Access / Timeline graph - number of downloads plotted over the selected range, hover cursor to show individual data points.
- Access / Top channels - list of channels sorted by most downloads first and allows drill-down into channel specific report.
- Access / Top episodes - list of episodes sorted by most downloads first and allows drill-down into episode specific report.
- Access / Top ad campaigns - lists all ad campaigns run on your content during this time range, sorted by most ads delivered first. May be omitted if no ads were run on your content during this period.
Premium podcast reports
Premium reports includes all the basic report data and makes available additional fields on all provider, channel and episode reports.
- Google Analytics - Users - when accessing a podcast or stream via our embedded player or on our website we use Google Analytics to track users actions, which gives us a number of unique listeners with a graph of daily activity. This only includes plays from our modern players on modern web browsers, and excludes any listens from fallback players or access via RSS feeds using iTunes or other applications. Note this figure does not represent a 100% accurate amount and will always be lower than the actual, as various factors can cause listens even on modern browsers not to be tracked correctly, for example ad blockers, anonymizers, mobile networks. We started tracking this data from 1 September 2016, and reports on periods previous to this will not reflect any data for these fields.
- Location / Top countries & Top cities - geo-reference data is produced against commercial versions of the MaxMind GeoIP datasets to show where content is accessed from. "In our recent tests, the databases were 99.8% accurate on a country level" - Maxmind support article
- Behaviour / Peak listening times - plots which daily times receives the most listens, use hover to show hourly data points.
- Behaviour / Access source - breakdown of where the content access originated. This can be via a browser visiting our website, embeds on another website, RSS feeds, or a recognised player application like iTunes, Overcast or Podcast Addict. Hover over section to see exact number.
- Technology / Devices - breakdown of what type of device was used to access the content.
- Technology / Platform - breakdown of operating systems.
- Technology / Browsers - breakdown of browsers used.
- Technology / Applications - Breakdown of recognised player applications.
- Audio / Quality - breakdown of most popular quality level. Medium is default for RSS and embed players. See our article on audio quality levels.
- Audio / Format - breakdown of most popular file format. MP4 is the default for RSS feeds and direct downloads. Our embedded player will auto-select the most appropriate format for the browser it is loaded in.
Live-stream reports
Live-streaming reports start with a graph showing number of concurrent users over time instead of podcast access graph:
Live-stream reports also contain all the fields made available under the Premium podcast reports, which each field having the same meaning as discussed above.
Concurrents versus sessions
Concurrents: The concurrent stream sessions graph at the top of the report shows the number of streams being delivered at the same time. This is a pretty accurate measure of how many active listeners you have at any given point in time.
Connections: Streaming player applications have one active connection/session at a time while the user is listening, however many connections may be started and stopped in the background based on network conditions. For example, short interruptions on 3G networks can lead to many connections started and stopped without the user noticing interruptions. Under ideal conditions one listening session would equate to one reported connection, but this is seldom the case. Connections is therefore not really a valuable measurement of users or engagement.
Stream uptime
We track downtime from our stream sources and this section provides uptime information for the report duration:
Unique users
Unfortunately we do not yet support tracking unique number of listeners. We do have plans to attempt support for this in the future, but have no target date yet.
Web tracking platforms like Google Analytics can track unique number of users relatively easy by using cookies in the browser. However, our podcasts and streams are frequently used by applications which do not support cookies at all, for example RSS players like iTunes, Overcast, Podcast Addict or any other third-party application outside browsers. For these we only have minimal information available around each request, not nearly enough to reliably identify any request as a unique user.
We do have some plans in place to get this information where cookies are available, and then provide other methods for tracking it in places where it is not, but will only make this available once we've achieved some measure of accuracy.

The Table Documents in Keep&Share can be read easily. They are set up like any spreadsheet with multiple columns and rows that you can use to sort your information. The Table Documents are a type of blank document that you can find in the Files tab in your Navigator. You can have Table Documents in any Folder in your "Files" application. When you create a new document all you need to do is select the "New Table Document" option from the "New Document" dialog.
Follow the steps below in order to access your Table Documents:
Once you have clicked on your Table Document, you will be able to see it like the image below. When you click anywhere on a row within your Table Document, the row will then be "highlighted" with a color (in this case, the highlighted color is orange).
Once you have a row selected in the viewed Table Document, you can use the arrow keys on your computer keyboard to move through the table. You can also use scroll bars if the table is too large for your browser window on the right hand side of the table.
When you have dozens of rows of information, the Table Document has its own scroll bar on the right-hand side of the table that is different from the scroll bar on the right-hand side of your computer screen. This allows you to quickly scroll through all of the information in your Table Document without having a long load-time for your page.

Chris Richardson Talks Tour, Lauren Conrad and MoreMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Like other American Idol finalists from season six, Chris Richardson has been touring the country all summer.
TV Guide recently sat down to discuss this and other issues with the Justin Timberlake lookalike...
TV Guide: What are you up to today?
Chris Richardson: I just finished songwriting. One for my album.
Chris: I'm not technically signed with anybody or anything, but I'm writing my album and I'm sort of creating my sound. I just got back from L.A. yesterday from laying down a song with Blake that me and him wrote. I'm just trying to find time to sort of get a head start on everything. But I'm enjoying the tour. I love seeing all of these different places and all of these different faces and actually meeting the fans that kept you alive on the show. I'm just having a blast.
Then, in my downtime even though I'm tired because we barely get any rest, I try to write as much as I can. Hopefully, this will give me credibility as a songwriter.
TV Guide: Yeah. Everyone that I've talked to on the tour has said you're writing a lot.
Chris: I'm trying to get my hands in everything that I can. For me, it's not about money and it's not about fame. It never has been. I've never been raised that way. It really is about trying to connect with an audience. But, also, these 10 [other Idol finalists] are my best friends. I know everything about them, and they know everything about me. It's so easy to write for them when you know about them and their personality and who they are as an artist.
TV Guide: Are you writing for all of them?
Chris: The ones that I've been writing for recently are [Jordin Sparks] and [Blake Lewis]. I'm also helping Phil on his country album, and I think I'm going to start writing with Gina also. It's really about capturing their sound. A lot of people get lost in confusion on that show, thinking you're going to do a certain style of music. People always compared me to Justin, which I only took it as a compliment because it could be worse! It also draws a different crowd too because people are like, "Wow, I'm a fan of Justin. Maybe I should listen to this guy."
TV Guide: It's really not a bad comparison.
Chris: The hardest part is breaking away from that to show people that you are completely different. Me, I'm more in touch with my rock side. My music is more comparable to Maroon 5 than it would ever be with Justin.
TV Guide: Are you singing on the track you laid down with Blake yesterday?
Chris: I'm doing background vocals on it. We actually wrote that together on the bus, then we flew out to L.A. and laid it down.
TV Guide: What's the song called?
Chris: "What You Got to Lose?" It's a really catchy song so hopefully it pans out. If it makes his album, that would be great. If it doesn't, well, we had fun doing it.
TV Guide: Have you laid down any tracks with Jordin yet?
Chris: You know, there's nothing that I've laid down with her. I wrote for her and we submitted some songs. She's liked them and, like I said, hopefully it will pan out. To be honest with you, I think Jordin and Blake are the only ones who are completely signed. They're getting their deals right now and all of us are still waiting for the process to begin after tour.
Chris: Yeah. There's a lot of talk and speculation about a lot of things. It goes from labels to television....
TV Guide: What kind of TV projects have you been offered?
Chris: Well, I haven't had anything completely offered yet because of [restrictions while Idols are on tour]. But the casting director for House approached me. But again, that's not something set in stone, so it's not something I could say [is happening]. But that's an example of people that are approaching me.
TV Guide: Is TV something you're interested in?
Chris: Oh yeah! Television would be great. Again, like I said, whatever comes after tour, if it's a great opportunity, I'm not just going to say no to it.
TV Guide: Ultimately, would you like to write songs, act and perform your own music?
Chris: I would love to dabble in everything but, first and foremost, put out my own album so people really get to know who I am.
TV Guide: You got a lot of attention from the weekly celebrity gossip magazines during Idol. Do you feel like being linked to LC and other stars prepared you for what's next?
Chris: [Laughs] Being that every single one of the things that was written about me was a rumor, which I guess is what happens, yes. Whenever you go into L.A., that's when it starts! I could walk down the street in New York. But right when you get to L.A., I tell you, if you're walking beside somebody and you make contact, you are either dating them or you are married.
TV Guide: Or you have six kids and didn't know it!
Chris: "You have six kids!" "She's knocked up!" "You're getting a divorce!"
TV Guide: What do you think about that?
Chris: Like you said, it does prepare you for what's to come because you can only imagine how people are going to pry into your personal life if you are successful. I think it was a couple of weeks ago, I was [featured in a tabloid article] "Celebrities Caught with Weird Sayings Shirts" or whatever. I'm on the page with Britney Spears and all of them. I'm like, "What in the world?" I'm wearing a shirt that says "Respect Your Mother" and it has Mother Earth on it.

Self-proclaimed master gamer Shane Birkinbine took his relationship with girlfriend Pam Edwards to the next level by building a marriage proposal into a custom level of their favorite video game using "Super Mario Maker."
In a video that's been viewed on YouTube nearly one million times, we observe Edwards being coached by her boyfriend through a custom course he designed for the classic Super Mario Bros. video game. She carefully maneuvers through the level, earning gold coins along the way, but she's so intent on successfully completing the course that she's unaware that the last leg includes a special message spelled out in blocks.
As her screen character earns "star power" and knocks out a few of the lower blocks that make up the bottom of the "P" in the word "Pam," Edwards is asked by her boyfriend to take a closer look at the screen.
"Babe, what does that say?" he asks.
"Where?" she responds.
"The blocks," he says. "It spells out your name, I think."
"How did you do that?" the surprise girlfriend asks.
"Master gamer," he responds. "It says, 'Pam.'"
"Babe! How did you do that?" asks the girlfriend, this time with a more excited tone.
Knowing that the blocks are spelling out a message, she carefully guides her character around them, instead of crashing through them. "I don't want to break it," she says.
She laughs and blissfully screams "babe" four times as her game character runs across the course revealing the rest of the message: "Will you marry me."
"Yes, of course," affirms Edwards as she breaks into tears.
Birkinbine declares, "Yay. She said, 'Yes.' I love you, babe."
"I love you," she says.
Birkinbine posted the video to YouTube on May 21 with the caption, "Hope everyone enjoys just a bit of our special moment. Geeks do it better!" The touching display of creativity and affection quickly went viral, with viewership heading toward one million and media outlets picking up the story from every corner of the world. Among them were the Huffington Post, Time, NPR, Mashable, USA Today, Inquirer, Daily Mail and Yahoo News.
The romantic gamer acknowledged that the viral nature of the video can be credited to his fiancée's reaction.
"The positive comments make it all worth it… people like a feel-good story," wrote Birkinbine in the comments section of his YouTube video. "Just never thought it would come from our little corner of the world. This video is nothing without her reaction. She is the star."
The romantic groom-to-be appropriately proposed with an engagement ring balanced atop a Super Mushroom, also known as a Power-Up Mushroom, originated in Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Maker, which was released in September of 2015, allows players to create and play their own custom levels based on Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U. A neat publishing tool allows the custom courses to be shared to the Internet. In May 2016, Nintendo announced that more than 7.2 million courses had been created worldwide.
Check out Birkinbine's viral video below…

Buildings and Mountains appear in China
Amazing "mirage"? appeared on Thursday, June 16, 2011 at dusk at the Tunxi section of the Xin'an River in Huangshan City, east China's Anhui Province, when continuous pouring rain had just stopped.
In the thin mist above the river were spectacular images of mountains, buildings and trees, which seemed to be floating on the river.
Similar sights are often seen lately, only they were not as special as this one, local residents say.
Ok,That's Not Funny... What is going on?
See The Amazing VIDEO!
