KUALA LUMPUR – 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) is on the right track to reduce its debt with its rationalisation plan, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.
The prime minister said 1MDB has received very encouraging offers, but declined to reveal them as the due diligence process was still in progress.
"When it is finalised, we will make a formal announcement," he told the media after chairing the Umno Supreme Council meeting here Wednesday.
Najib, who is also finance minister, said he was enlightened on the company's position at the meeting.
Last month 1MDB president and group executive director Arul Kanda Kandasamy said that measures taken by the company in implementing the rationalisation plan were running smoothly and would be able to reduce its debts within six months.
It was reported that four companies, namely Tenaga Nasional Bhd, YTL Power International Bhd, Malakoff Corp Bhd and CI Holdings Bhd had signed non-disclosure agreements with the advising bank, Maybank Investment Bank Bhd, and were in various stages of discussions to acquire 1MDB power generation arm, Edra Global Energy Bhd.
On properties division, the government strategic investment arm, which has received 12 bids for development partners in the Bandar Malaysia project, is expected to shortlist preferred bidders in the near term.
Meanwhile, the 1MDB financial centre, the Tun Razak Exchange project has attracted four investors, namely Australia's Lend Lease group, Indonesia's Mulia Group, Lembaga Tabung Haji and Affin Bank Bhd.

I had her breakfast made before she was up. Scrambled eggs, toast and raspberries – nice and balanced with a little protein punch. She was going to be off to kindergarten in a few minutes and she needed to have energy, after all.
Teeth and hair brushed: check. Sophia shirt: Check. Headband: check. Sparkly shoes: check. Frozen lunch box and hot pink backpack: check. And we were out the door with 10 minutes to spare.
As we walked, she chatted away, per her usual. Me, forcing her to pause for a few pictures. For her, getting to ride the school bus is one life's greatest accomplishments and today was the day. She has been asking to ride the school bus and counting the years and months and days until it was her turn. I would have preferred to drive her myself on the first day, but she insisted. And so, off we went.
After our casual stroll up to the bus stop at the corner, she looked up at me. "Mom, I have to go potty."
Potty! Of course! In the midst of the breakfast and the outfit and the backpack and the new shoes, we both had completely forgotten about potty!!
I looked at my phone. We had 6 mix minutes. "We have to run," I said. So off we went, her backpacking bouncing on her back and my keys swinging from my hands. "Good thing I have my fast running shoes on so I can lead you home, mom," she said. Humility: something we are working on. Confidence: something she's mastered.
We made it back home, to the potty and back to the bus stop with two minutes to spare. And then the next two minutes went by in a blur.
"There it is! There's my bus," she exclaimed, pointing at it driving around the bend.
As I looked down and her and smiled, my mind was on over-drive. Give your kid a kiss. Take a picture. Help her on. Don't help her on. Hold her hand. Let her go. Tell her to have a good day and to remember where her snack is. Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry.
I gave her a kiss, told her to have lots and lots of fun.
"Okay, she said," and walked bravely toward the bus. "There's already kids on there. There's already kids on there," she said as she walked up the steps and chose her seat. The doors closed and the bus driver smiled at me. He looked a little like Santa.
I hope he drives safely today. I hope her teacher smiles today. I hope the kids are nice today. Because, while I want her to grow up and do all the things she's been made to do, the spreading of her wings just makes my momma heart ache with love and pride and unspeakable joy. And some moments just tug at my tear faucets – like this one.
I turned and walked home, tears streaming down my cheeks and prayers going up to Heaven, as I sent my little girl off on the school bus and out into the world.
Today, 2:55 can't come fast enough.

Paris, France, 14-5-2014 — /EuropaWire/ — Alstom has been awarded a contract to supply 50 KZ8A freight locomotives to Azerbaijan Railways (ADDY) which will be assembled in Alstom's JV EKZ between 2016 and 2018. The total amount of the contract is €300 million. Alstom's share amounts to around €150 million. The contract was signed in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku in the presence of the French President Francois Hollande and the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev. The contract may also include the construction of a depot, technical assistance and maintenance, as well as training for ADDY staff. These are subject to negotiation within the next six months.
KZ8A locomotives rank among the most powerful locomotives in the world (8,800 kW) with asynchronous traction, able to run at 120 km/h and to haul up to 9,000 tons. The KZ8A electric locomotives for this contract will be assembled in Alstom's JV manufacturing site in Astana, Kazakhstan.
"Azerbaijan is a strategic transit point between Europe and Central Asia. The modern KZ8A freight locomotives will help increasing its carrying capacity in transportation of raw materials and goods," said Thibault Desteract, SVP Alstom Transport Russia and CIS.
The total length of Azerbaijan's rail network is 2,932 km, of which 1,278 km is electrified (3 kV). In 2006 Azerbaijan railways launched a long-term program for the renovation and modernization of its railways, including its traction fleet, reconstruction of infrastructure, and a gradual switch from DC to AC. According to the latest forecasts, the volume of the railway traffic in the country should almost double by 2017 from current figures.
Alstom also signed on 12 May a Memorandum of Mutual Cooperation with Baku Metropoliten with a view to develop modern metro cars for both the new lines and the gradual replacement of the existing fleet of Baku metro. Both parties have agreed to sign a final agreement in the coming two months.

Nothing can throw off a perfectly flawless complexion like unwanted hairs. The first experiments with laser hair removal were performed in the mid to late 1970's. After becoming approved by the USDA and the FDA, it was made commercially available in the 1990's. The technology has since grown rapidly, transforming the procedure into safe and highly effective means of permanent hair reduction. The effectiveness, notable reduction of pain, and the relative quickness of the laser process, when compared to electrolysis, have all contributed to the success of the laser process. This extremely safe procedure works by pulsing laser light at specific frequencies, 755nm to 1064nm, where it is absorbed by the hair, heating it and thereby permanently damaging the follicle and destroying the hair.
This procedure has been used successfully on both males and females, and is much quicker than previous methods used for hair removal. Our technicians have both experience and skill that make a difference in the ease of this treatment. Choosing an experienced professional can greatly increase your success in receiving the best hair removal results possible. Because the laser light energy is more readily absorbed by darker hair than lighter hair, (due to its melanin targeting behavior) lighter hair can be more difficult to remove. The patient's hair color, the technology utilized, and the overall response to the laser hair removal process can vary greatly. There are three phases of hair growth. Phase one is an active phase, the second is a transitional phase, and in the third phase it rests. Due to the laser's ability to affect currently active hair, the procedure may need to be repeated up to eight times, or as few as three. Overall, laser hair removal is a fast, safe, effective, and a largely painless process that has quickly become one of the best ways to rid oneself of body and facial hair.

As a focused law firm dedicated to serving clients to achieve their needs, Labaton Sucharow has extended its services to the whistleblower program, which is fighting securities violations across the country. In a bid to achieve their goals, Labaton Sucharow has invited professionals in different areas to help their clients draft their submissions to the SEC so they can be assured of compensation.
Recently, Labaton Sucharow recorded a new milestone when the winner of $17 million through the SEC Whistleblower Program was revealed. The company is happy to note that one of their clients is now the second best rewarded whistleblower since the establishment of the SEC Whistleblower Program in 2010. This achievement is as a result of the effort the team of litigators and analysts put to the process, coupled with the confidence the client showed when presenting the high profile case involving individuals in the financial services industry.
As one Labaton Sucharow SEC whistleblower attorney explains, there is bound to be an increase in the number of high profile cases owing to the fact the provisions that protect whistleblowers have been heightened to help them present their facts candidly and with assurance of an outcome that could lead to awesome compensation. Jordan Thomas, the head of the Whistleblower Representation Practice in the company cites this as a bold move since few people in the financial services industry would want to be involved in cases of violations simply because they fear getting victimized for their expose.
He also sees a great future for Labaton Sucharow since the company has from inception dedicated its effort to ensuring clients receive the best services. Their input the pursuit of justice in cases involving whistleblowers has gone a long way to exposing many ills in the business world.
The establishment of SEC and changes thereof
The SEC Whistleblower Program came as a new dawn in the reporting and pursuit of securities violations. Previously there were little or no measures to help whistleblowers handle the pressure that came with exposing securities cases in critical industries.
However, the SEC Whistleblower Program came with new provisions that empower the whistleblower and offer protection to ensure no cases of victimization are reported. Whistleblowers are now able to report without any fear they would be pursued by the perpetrators later. Additionally, the SEC established a reward system that is paying up to 30% of the money collected as sanction from the violators of securities regulations.

We didn't take the cable car over to Dursey island as dogs were not allowed.
We left here and went to a small neighbouring beach-Garinish
Another little beach near Allihies.
We stopped for lunch at Eyeries then travelled through Ardgroom to Lauragh.
On the way to Kenmare we stopped at Glenninchaquin Park. Many miles down a track but so worth the journey at the end. We did what was supposed to be a two hour walk up and over the waterfall but we were obviously fitter than most as we made it in 80mins. We were amazed at how Smudge managed as a very steep incline climbing up the mountain for the first 40mins.
From the photo above we walked to the right and up onto the ridge where there was a lake on the other side.we then walked over the top of the waterfall that you can see and down the other side.
Our car is the small speck slightly to the left in front of the building to the left of the photo.

Mister Obama's War hits a speed bump
Mister Obama's War has hit a speed bump in Times Square. The question is will the President and members of Congress pay any attention to it and slow down, or will they floor the accelerator and race into Pakistan?
The speed bump is a nobody named Faisal Shahzad, a 30-year-old, westernized Pakistani, highly educated, and a naturalized American citizen with a wife and two kids. A casualty of the US financial meltdown, a career in the finance industry fizzled and his $285,000 home went underwater and was foreclosed.
Shahzad then trekked to North Waziristan in Pakistan along the Afghan border, where someone allegedly taught him how to make a car bomb. Fortunately, that training was either inadequate or he was a lousy student.
Following on the bloody Fort Hood shooting and the failed underpants bomber, Shahzad's action has become leverage for greater US military intervention into the rugged Pashtun areas of northwest Pakistan.
That intervention is currently limited to deadly CIA drone attacks and reluctant Pakistani army assaults under pressure from the Obama administration. Past incursions into Pakistan territory by US special ops elements caused serious disturbances in Pakistan.
The focus of all this concern is an area of Afghanistan and Pakistan populated by the Pashtun people and known unofficially as Pashtunistan. Both the Afghan and Pakistan Taliban are virtually all Pashtuns.
The Pashtun homeland was divided in 1893 by the British, specifically Sir Mortimer Durand, who drew the current border, called The Durand Line. Afghanistan has traditionally claimed the areas across the Durand Line in Pakistan, but Pakistan won't give any of it up.
Essentially, the US has inserted itself into the middle of an ethnic conflict between the dominant, ruling Punjabi people of eastern Pakistan and the Pashtun people, who are seen by the Punjabis as backward mountain people, a prejudice that ignores a Pashtun brilliance for military strategy.
North of Pashtunistan, making up the top piece of bread in the sandwich, is The Northern Alliance, the coalition of ethnic groups the US linked with when it attacked in 2001. Pashtunistan is the meat in the middle.
The Pashtuns, of course, are very tough, have always used a rigid form of Islam as an organizing principle for their rugged lives and they do not like foreign intervention.
Four years after Durand made his line, at age 23, Winston Churchill wrote this about the Pashtun people in what is now northwest Pakistan: "A continual state of feud and strife prevails throughout the land. …The people of one valley fight with those of the next. …Every man's hand is against the other, and all against the stranger."

If you have any feedback on how we can make our new website better please do contact us and we would like to hear from you.
This page is designed to attempt to answer your frequently asked questions regarding both the policy and procedures of our company and any common technical questions you might regarding the operation of your watch. This FAQ page is broken into the sections "FAQ Administrative" and "FAQ Technical". Please navigate throughout this page to find the answers you're seeking.
FAQ Administrative
Q: My watch is expensive and/or has high sentimental value. How can I ensure it will get to you and back to me safe and secure?
A: Please use a trustworthy shipping carrier (ex. UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL) and purchase insurance for the amount of the value of the watch in the event the watch gets lost or damaged in the transport process. Ex. the value of the watch = $1,000 buy $1,000 worth of insurance, value = $5,000 buy $5,000 worth of insurance and so on. Also please pack sercurely using bubble wrap or other materials for maximum protection.
Q: I have paid for shipping to send the watch, did I also need to pay for return shipping?
A: Yes. Please include a prepaid return shipping label for the same amount as the inital shipment. If one is not provided, we'll contact you and ask for shipping payment prior to sending the watch.
Q: If I live close to the service center or I'm in the Los Angeles downtown area, can I dropoff or pickup?
A: Yes.
Q: What does a free estimate consist of?
A: The estimate will allow us to properly and accurately diagnose a problem with your watch by examining and contacting you with details. The watch will be opened and thoroughly examined to uncover what's wrong and closed without any further work performed. We then will contact you to give you the details of the problem and the cost of service. Once the okay is given, then the work will start.
Q: The job is complete, how can I pay?
A: You have three options for payment. 1) Transfer the funds via Paypal fast and securely. If you don't use Paypal, 2) Call and give us your Credit Card details so we can charge your card. Or, 3) Send us a check/Money Order, but we won't send you back the watch until the check clears. It's our recommendation to use either option 1 or 2 outlined above for faster turnaround. Here is a list of major Credit Cards we accept:
Q: I've chosen to call and give you my CC details, does my personal information stay safe?
A: Once we take your credit card information and charge your card. We shred and destroy all your credit card details. This is done to protect your privacy and security. Also asking for your credit card details again is much safer than storing it.
Q: Does your service come with a warranty?
A: Yes. All service performed comes with a 12 month warranty in the event the watch stops working. We also keep a record of all work on a watch to refer back when needed.
Q: I called and reached your recording, should I leave a message?
A: When you call outside of our business hours please leave a message with your name, number and description of your watch. We will answer all calls during normal business hours.
FAQ Technical
Q: I received my package and along with my watch there was a little plastic bag with a part in it. Do I need to do anything with this part?
A: No, nothing needs to be done. In the event the watch had a broken or damaged part, we will extract the bad part and give it back to you for your reference.
Q: I received my automatic/mechanical watch back and it's still not running?
A: Mechanical (wind-up) watches need to be wound everyday preferably in the mornings for power throughout the day. Some watches may stop as early as 18 hours, others may go from 24-72 hours depending on the thresold of the mainspring.
Automatic watches operate with motion, when you stop wearing the watch for a period of time it will stop. Depending on the make and model of the watch and thresold of its mainspring a watch can run 24-72 hours after motion stops.
Q: Why is my automatic not running after wearing it?
A: The watch doesn't automatically run after being dormant, some will start running within a couple of minutes while others may take as long as an hour depending on the condition of the mainspring also the make and model.
Q: After service with your company, I've tried winding and continuously wearing my watch but it still doesn't run. What do I do now?
A: Please contact us at this point. This is extremely rare but can happen. If it's within the 1-year period we'll correct the issue at no charge.
Q: I elected to purchase a quartz movement from you and change it myself. But now my watch doesn't run. Can I return the movement?
A: No returns are accepted because changing a quartz movement can be a delicate procedure since it can be damaged. If you choose to change the quartz movement yourself there is a risk losing money. The movements we sell are opened and QC tested before shipment. Testing includes the battery, calendar, coil, hands and pulse. The purpose of the tests are to ensure we're sending you something that works.
Q: My watch is a chronograph which needs to be set, do you set the watch?
A: No we don't set chronograph watches. Setting these watches can only done using the manual of the manufacturer. Please reference the manual to set the watch.
Q: The crystal on my watch is damaged, do I need to send the entire watch?
A: The entire watch doesn't need to be sent in crystal repairs. We actually prefer you don't send the entire watch but it's a personal choice. All we need is just the watch case in this situation along with the old crystal if you have it. However you're welcome to send the entire watch if it's going to be difficult to send just the case.
Q: The dial on my watch is damaged, do I need to send the entire watch?
A: The entire watch doesn't need to be sent in dial repairs. We actually prefer you don't send the entire watch but it's a personal choice. All we need is just the watch dial in this situation.
However you're welcome to send the entire watch if it's going to be difficult to send just the dial.

Without water, life would not exist. It is a prerequisite for all human and economic development. Yet the facts are mind blowing:
- According to WHO/UNICEF more people have a mobile phone than a toilet!
- Every 20 seconds, a child dies from a water-related illness.
- Women spend 200 million hours a day collecting water
- More than 3x more people lack water than live in the United States
- The majority of illness is caused by fecal matter
- Lack of community involvement causes 50% of other projects to fail
Today, 780 million people – about one in nine – lack access to clean water. More than twice that many, 2.5 billion people, don't have access to a toilet.
There has been significant public attention paid to the issue of water scarcity lately, and for good reason. Although water is a renewable resource, it is also a finite one. Only 2.53 percent of earth's water is fresh, and some two-thirds of that is locked up in glaciers and permanent snow cover. But despite the very real danger of future global water shortages, for the vast majority of the nearly one billion people without safe drinking water, today's water crisis is not an issue of scarcity, but of access.

According to an Atlanta Journal Constitution report, Georgia lawmakers supporting "religious liberty" efforts at the state Capitol doubled-down Wednesday by introducing a second bill to prevent government intrusion on faith-based beliefs.
That puts prospective GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush squarely in the middle of a contentious debate he may have been trying to avoid when he waded into the controversy Thursday–without seemingly taking a clear stand on any specific legislation. The excerpt below is from Thursday's report:
In remarks to a handful of reporters, Bush also gave a tacit endorsement to the push for a "religious liberty" measure. Supporters say the legislation, Senate Bill 129, would provide an extra layer of protection against government intrusion on religious rights, while opponents see it as a "license to discriminate."
The key less than statesman-like phrase is Jeb claiming to not know about the particular law, while appearing to back it. In a word, Jeb appears Clinton-esque here: "I don't know about this law, but religious freedom is a serious issue and is increasingly so," said Bush. "People that act on their conscience shouldn't be discriminated against, for sure. There should be protections."
This has led to attacks from the Left, including from AlterNet, the Washington Blade, and others. At some point, Jeb Bush is going to have to take a stand a bit more coherent than the one he appeared to take Thursday in Atlanta. In an article entitled "Jeb Bush Met Ludacris Today. Oh, And Said Same-Sex Marriage Could Make People Unemployed," the New Civil Rights Movement reports:
So, with that in mind, Jeb Bush talked with Georgia lawmakers today on the subject of "religious freedom" and same-sex marriage.
"Religious freedom is a serious issue, and it's increasingly so, and I think people that act on their conscience shouldn't be discriminated against for sure and there should be protections," Bush told lawmakers, as the Washington Post reports.

LONDON, United Kingdom – The UK Independence Party's National Executive Committee (NEC) have voted on a time limit that effectively blocks leadership candidates who have not been party members for at least five years.
Breitbart London can reveal that last night, the NEC voted electronically, to stop members becoming leadership candidates passed with a "firm majority" according to sources at the top of the party.
Effectively, the ruling means that candidates like Suzanne Evans, Douglas Carswell, and Arron Banks can not stand as leader. Sources close to the party have told Breitbart London that the vote could potentially be appealed, but perhaps only through Britain's legal system.
Writing for Breitbart London, long-standing UKIP activist Michael Heaver reports: "As to just who will stand, a ruling by the National Executive Committee (NEC) last night will mean that a five-year minimum membership term has been put in place. In a young party such as UKIP that has experienced rapid growth this is massively significant.
"It would rule out for instance London Assembly Members Peter Whittle and David Kurten, who had both mulled the idea of standing. One wonders if Neil Hamilton, who has allies on the NEC and has been a long-time UKIP member, is now considering a tilt at the top job.
"Suzanne Evans would also would not meet the five-year term even if her suspension was lifted and it would also mean the likes of Arron Banks and Raheem Kassam, of this parish, couldn't stand either.
"So this race is wide open and truly a wild west shoot out unlike much we've ever seen come before. Huge feet to fill, a highly volatile field and format and just a few short months until the new Leader is elected on September 15th. Just who will that next leader be? At this stage, your guess is as good as mine."
Party sources have told Breitbart London today that while the National Executive may have voted in favour of the decision, many members will perceive this as further evidence that the NEC has overstepped its remit and needs to be dissolved.
This is an idea that was pushed by the outgoing leader Nigel Farage some months ago, and backed by Suzanne Evans yesterday during her interview on LBC.
"It looks too much like a stitch-up," said one senior source. "If the members don't want people who joined less than 5 years ago they should be able to make their minds up themselves".

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Travelers at Kansas City International airport may soon notice more space to accommodate fuller flights and new features added to Terminal C.
American Airlines told airport managers last year that it wanted more space to fly bigger planes in and out of KCI.
To meet the demand, the airport is creating a 9-gate departure lounge in Terminal C with one larger check-in entrance and four security lanes. A new restaurant, rest rooms and water bottle refill station also have been added to the secure side of the passenger waiting area.
"What we are constrained by is limitation of gate area space," said Justin Meyer, deputy director of aviation. "As anybody who flys through when you are boarding a flight that's 150 seats, 230 seats, it's really tight. This will alleviate that a little bit, but it's still an issue for us going forward."
Federal guidelines also required the airport to add a dedicated room for nursing mothers and a service animal relief area to any new construction. Those are features that similar airports our size already have.
The airport is spending $5-million on this project, paid for by passenger user fees.
Meyer says this investment does not mean KCI doesn't need a new airport terminal. He calls these changes necessary to keep the current airport operating.

Leeds's Jack Laugher regained his British title with victory in the 3m springboard in Sheffield.
The 21-year-old recorded a score of 489.25 to see off the challenge of City of Sheffield's Freddie Woodward.
"It means a lot to regain my title after being forced to miss the National Cup in January because of injury," he said.
"My season has gone well so far.
"I performed well at the European Championships where I won gold and silver and at the world series so I will hopefully be in contention for that selection for Rio next week."
Former European champion Sarah Barrow claimed gold in the women's 10m platform with a score of 347.90 to beat Dive London's Georgia Ward.
"Having two years of injuries and having to stop and start with my diving was tough," said the 27-year-old. "I've worked really hard to make sure I was where I needed to be.
"I stuck at my diving. I have a good mindset and I feel like that showed (yesterday)."
There were impressive victories for both Tom Daley and Grace Reid on the final day of competition at the South Yorkshire venue yesterday.
Daley dominated the 10m event from the off, recording a score of 549.10 in the preliminary rounds yesterday morning, including a 91.20 for his inward 3 1/2 somersaults tucked.
He remained ahead and stretched his lead over the field before finishing with a score of 507.95.
Matty Lee took the silver medal with a score of 428.00, while Noah Williams won bronze with 389.05.
Reid recovered from an initial shaky preliminary round to take gold in the women's 3m springboard.
The European champion then put in a consistent performance to finish with a total of 325.45.
Rebecca Gallantree (286.50) finished second and Katherine Torrance (261.30) third.

text: Print OverviewUp to 15 percent of couples are infertile. This means they aren't able to conceive a child even though they've had frequent, unprotected sexual intercourse for a year or longer. In up to half of these couples, male infertility plays a role. Male infertility is due to low sperm production, abnormal sperm function or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm. Illnesses, injuries, chronic health problems, lifestyle choices and other factors can play a role in causing male infertility. Not being able to conceive a child can be stressful and frustrating, but a number of male infertility treatments are available. SymptomsThe main sign of male infertility is the inability to conceive a child. There may be no other obvious signs or symptoms. In some cases, however, an underlying problem such as an inherited disorder, hormonal imbalance, dilated veins around the testicle, or a condition that blocks the passage of sperm causes signs and symptoms. Although most men with male infertility do not notice symptoms other than inability to conceive a child, signs and symptoms associated with male infertility include: Problems with sexual function — for example, difficulty with ejaculation or small volumes of fluid ejaculated, reduced sexual desire or difficulty maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction) Pain, swelling or a lump in the testicle area Recurrent respiratory infections Inability to smell Abnormal breast growth (gynecomastia) Decreased facial or body hair or other signs of a chromosomal or hormonal abnormality Having a lower than normal sperm count (fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen or a total sperm count of less than 39 million per ejaculate) When to see a doctor See a doctor if you have been unable to conceive a child after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse or sooner if you have any of the following: Have erection or ejaculation problems, low sex drive, or other problems with sexual function Have pain, discomfort, a lump or swelling in the testicle area Have a history of testicle, prostate or sexual problems Have had groin, testicle, penis or scrotum surgery Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic CausesMale fertility is a complex process. To get your partner pregnant, the following must occur: You must produce healthy sperm. Initially, this involves the growth and formation of the male reproductive organs during puberty. At least one of your testicles must be functioning correctly, and your body must produce testosterone and other hormones to trigger and maintain sperm production. Sperm have to be carried into the semen. Once sperm are produced in the testicles, delicate tubes transport them until they mix with semen and are ejaculated out of the penis. There needs to be enough sperm in the semen. If the number of sperm in your semen (sperm count) is low, it decreases the odds that one of your sperm will fertilize your partner's egg. A low sperm count is fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen or fewer than 39 million per ejaculate. Sperm must be functional and able to move. If the movement (motility) or function of your sperm is abnormal, the sperm may not be able to reach or penetrate your partner's egg. Medical causes Problems with male fertility can be caused by a number of health issues and medical treatments. Some of these include: Varicocele. A varicocele is a swelling of the veins that drain the testicle. It's the most common reversible cause of male infertility. Although the exact reason that varicoceles cause infertility is unknown, it may be related to abnormal testicular temperature regulation. Varicoceles result in reduced quality of the sperm. Treating the varicocele can improve sperm numbers and function, and may potentially improve outcomes when using assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization. Infection. Some infections can interfere with sperm production or sperm health or can cause scarring that blocks the passage of sperm. These include inflammation of the epididymis (epididymitis) or testicles (orchitis) and some sexually transmitted infections, including gonorrhea or HIV. Although some infections can result in permanent testicular damage, most often sperm can still be retrieved. Ejaculation issues. Retrograde ejaculation occurs when semen enters the bladder during orgasm instead of emerging out the tip of the penis. Various health conditions can cause retrograde ejaculation, including diabetes, spinal injuries, medications, and surgery of the bladder, prostate or urethra. Some men with spinal cord injuries or certain diseases can't ejaculate semen, even though they still produce sperm. Often in these cases sperm can still be retrieved for use in assisted reproductive techniques. Antibodies that attack sperm. Anti-sperm antibodies are immune system cells that mistakenly identify sperm as harmful invaders and attempt to eliminate them. Tumors. Cancers and nonmalignant tumors can affect the male reproductive organs directly, through the glands that release hormones related to reproduction, such as the pituitary gland, or through unknown causes. In some cases, surgery, radiation or chemotherapy to treat tumors can affect male fertility. Undescended testicles. In some males, during fetal development one or both testicles fail to descend from the abdomen into the sac that normally contains the testicles (scrotum). Decreased fertility is more likely in men who have had this condition. Hormone imbalances. Infertility can result from disorders of the testicles themselves or an abnormality affecting other hormonal systems including the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands. Low testosterone (male hypogonadism) and other hormonal problems have a number of possible underlying causes. Defects of tubules that transport sperm. Many different tubes carry sperm. They can be blocked due to various causes, including inadvertent injury from surgery, prior infections, trauma or abnormal development, such as with cystic fibrosis or similar inherited conditions. Blockage can occur at any level, including within the testicle, in the tubes that drain the testicle, in the epididymis, in the vas deferens, near the ejaculatory ducts or in the urethra. Chromosome defects. Inherited disorders such as Klinefelter's syndrome — in which a male is born with two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome (instead of one X and one Y) — cause abnormal development of the male reproductive organs. Other genetic syndromes associated with infertility include cystic fibrosis, Kallmann's syndrome and Kartagener's syndrome. Problems with sexual intercourse. These can include trouble keeping or maintaining an erection sufficient for sex (erectile dysfunction), premature ejaculation, painful intercourse, anatomical abnormalities such as having a urethral opening beneath the penis (hypospadias), or psychological or relationship problems that interfere with sex. Celiac disease. A digestive disorder caused by sensitivity to gluten, celiac disease can cause male infertility. Fertility may improve after adopting a gluten-free diet. Certain medications. Testosterone replacement therapy, long-term anabolic steroid use, cancer medications (chemotherapy), certain antifungal medications, some ulcer drugs and certain other medications can impair sperm production and decrease male fertility. Prior surgeries. Certain surgeries may prevent you from having sperm in your ejaculate, including vasectomy, inguinal hernia repairs, scrotal or testicular surgeries, prostate surgeries, and large abdominal surgeries performed for testicular and rectal cancers, among others. In most cases, surgery can be performed to either reverse these blockage or to retrieve sperm directly from the epididymis and testicles. Environmental causes Overexposure to certain environmental elements such as heat, toxins and chemicals can reduce sperm production or sperm function. Specific causes include: Industrial chemicals. Extended exposure to benzenes, toluene, xylene, pesticides, herbicides, organic solvents, painting materials and lead may contribute to low sperm counts. Heavy metal exposure. Exposure to lead or other heavy metals also may cause infertility. Radiation or X-rays. Exposure to radiation can reduce sperm production, though it will often eventually return to normal. With high doses of radiation, sperm production can be permanently reduced. Overheating the testicles. Elevated temperatures impair sperm production and function. Although studies are limited and are inconclusive, frequent use of saunas or hot tubs may temporarily impair your sperm count. Sitting for long periods, wearing tight clothing or working on a laptop computer for long stretches of time also may increase the temperature in your scrotum and may slightly reduce sperm production. Health, lifestyle and other causes Some other causes of male infertility include: Illicit drug use. Anabolic steroids taken to stimulate muscle strength and growth can cause the testicles to shrink and sperm production to decrease. Use of cocaine or marijuana may temporarily reduce the number and quality of your sperm as well. Alcohol use. Drinking alcohol can lower testosterone levels, cause erectile dysfunction and decrease sperm production. Liver disease caused by excessive drinking also may lead to fertility problems. Tobacco smoking. Men who smoke may have a lower sperm count than do those who don't smoke. Secondhand smoke also may affect male fertility. Emotional stress. Stress can interfere with certain hormones needed to produce sperm. Severe or prolonged emotional stress, including problems with fertility, can affect your sperm count. Weight. Obesity can impair fertility in several ways, including directly impacting sperm themselves as well as by causing hormone changes that reduce male fertility. Certain occupations including welding or those involving prolonged sitting, such as truck driving, may be associated with a risk of infertility. However, the research to support these links is mixed. Risk factorsRisk factors linked to male infertility include: Smoking tobacco Using alcohol Using certain illicit drugs Being overweight Having certain past or present infections Being exposed to toxins Overheating the testicles Having experienced trauma to the testicles Having a prior vasectomy or major abdominal or pelvic surgery Having a history of undescended testicles Being born with a fertility disorder or having a blood relative with a fertility disorder Having certain medical conditions, including tumors and chronic illnesses, such as sickle cell disease Taking certain medications or undergoing medical treatments, such as surgery or radiation used for treating cancer ComplicationsInfertility can be stressful for both you and your partner. Complications of male infertility can include: Surgery or other procedures to treat an underlying cause of low sperm count or other reproductive problems Expensive and involved reproductive techniques Stress and relationship difficulties related to the inability to have a child PreventionMany types of male infertility aren't preventable. However, you can avoid some known causes of male infertility. For example: Don't smoke. Limit or abstain from alcohol. Steer clear of illicit drugs. Keep the weight off. Don't get a vasectomy. Avoid things that lead to prolonged heat for the testicles. Reduce stress. Avoid exposure to pesticides, heavy metals and other toxins.

- 10. Create target directory on the Windows-Server – Deploy ACL
- 11. Result control
- 12. Replicate old data in the new directory tree
1. Read trustee information from the Novell server
1.1. Source: Novell Netware
1.1.1. Output Permissions with the Trustee.nlm command
Novell Netware does not have any trustee-database.xml. The trustees however can be read with the console command trustee.nlm.
An example for the syntax is:
TRUSTEE /ET /D SAVE VOL1: sys:\trustee-vol1.csv
/ET for permissions, without ownership
/D for directories, without files
VOL1: permissions and directories from this volume
sys:\trustee-vol1.csv is the output file
If the output file contains unwanted information other than the trustees, you can generate a file reduced to TRUSTEEs with:
FIND "TRUSTEE" trustee.csv > only_trustee.csv
1.1.2. Conversion from ASCII in ANSI
Result of the trustee.nlm is a CSV-file. It is created in ASCII-format. Entries like umlauts or special symbols can represent a problem. The file must be converted into an ANSI-format.
This is possible, for example, in the following way with Excel:
- Open Excel
- Select the tab "Data"
- In the column "access external data", select "from text" and import the output CSV-file
- With the parameters:
- File type: separated
- File origin: MS-DOS (PC-8) !!!
- Separation symbol: comma
- press finish
Now, all umlauts and special symbols are correctly represented in this file.
1.1.3. Editing the Data
The output file contains five columns, which must be slightly edited for migRaven.
1. column: Only the lines with "TRUSTEE" are required. All other lines can be removed.
Finally the 1st column is emptied, must however remain for the "depth".
2. – Path: The volume before the directory is removed. However, the directory remains. For example with the Excel command =SUBSTITUTE (B1;"VOL1:";"";1).
3. – LONG: This column must be removed.
4. – trustee: A dot is placed at the beginning of all entries in this column, like .Meier.EDV.KMF. for example, with the Excel command = CONCATENATE(".";D1).
5. – permissions: The column contains the Novell permissions. These must be converted into NTFS permissions corresponding to the table 2 (see paragraph 3). The column with the NTFS permissions must then be moved in front of the trustee column.
The table structure for migRaven must correspond to the table 3 (see paragraph 1.3.):
Fig 1: conversion of the table created with trustee.nlm in the format necessary for migRaven
1.2. Source: Novell Open Enterprise Server
The Trustee-Information from the Trustee_database.XML files is the basis for migrating from Novell to Microsoft via migRaven. In these files, the directory information and the authorizations are included.
For the next steps in migRaven, the XML-files must be provided from the Novell Volume to be converted.
Please find further information here:
1.2.2. Convert Trustee-Information into the CSV-Format with our script
The information about the currently assigned authorizations in the Novell file systems is stored in the ".trustee_database.xml". For each volume, there is a file with this name. These files are in the directory "/media/nss/VOLUME_NAME/._NETWARE/" (VOLUME_NAME must be replaced by the name of the volume). Deviating from it, the ones for Volume SYS are below "/usr/novell/sys/._NETWARE".
Then one should convert the.trustee_database.xml in to UTF8-Format. This is necessary if umlaut, ß or other special characters are included in the.trustee_database.xml.
For further processing, it is important to bring the XML file into a readable form.
With the following Power shell-script, all XML files, which exist in the same directory like the script, are converted into easily readable csv-files. Apart from separating the directory- and authorization information, the account information is selected at the same time and converted into conformal form in Microsoft. The DN (Distinguished Name – unique name for X.500-directory objects) from the .trustee_database.xml is converted into a sAMAccountNamen (sAM Account Name) (login name). These represent an option to be able to assign the rights while porting into the Microsoft world to users or groups. In the start-up, it is important that the appropriate accounts are available in the AD. These should have been replicated already in a suitable manner.
Powershell 3.0 is a prerequisite for executing the script. The format for the input of the file corresponds with the one of the current SLES Servers (Suse Linux Enterprise Servers) with Novell File system. It can only read the directly copied.trustee_database.xml. Trustee information, which was made via Backup Tools like metamig, does not run through this script.
Copy the following code and save it in a ps1-file.
[Notice] If an error message, that the file could not loaded because the script execution has been deactivated on the system, appears during the initial execution of a non-signaled Powershell-Script then you can solve the problem in the following manner: You start Powershell as administrator and enter following command "set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted". Then the Powershell-Script referred by our website can be executed! [/notice]
Example for the trustee xml
<inherited_rights_mask path="/._NETWARE">
<inherited_rights_mask path="/~DFSINFO.8-P">
<trustee path="">
You can download the new powershell script NWkonv2015.ps1 here.
This PowerShell-Program generates a csv-file from each xml-file in this directory.
Table structure
Run the CSV file with Excel to view and optimize it.
|Novell rights
Table 1: Table with Novell-Rights
Fig 2: Novell OES trustees
Thus transfer your Novell authorizations to the Microsoft environment
The rights in the Novell system and thus also in the Trustee-file are written on the basis of the Unix Notation. This notation cannot be transferred directly to Microsoft.
The Novell rights must be replaced by Windows rights in the table.
It can be also the case than one has not worked with standardized rights under Novell and therefore the various rights are in the table.
You must finally decide for one of the following five Windows rights. For this enter the title for the NTFS-rights in place of the Novell rights in the appropriate column.
migRaven expects following Windows-NTFS-rights:
NTFS-Rights Novell-Rights
re (read-execute) instead of RF in Novell,
m (modify) instead of RWCEMF in Novell,
mx (ModifyPlus) instead of RWCEMF in Novell,
w (read-write) instead of RWF in Novell,
f (fullcontrol) instead of S in Novell.
Table 2: NTFS Rights
[notice]The Novell rights must be replaced by NTFS rights in accordance with this table. This is done best with Excel.[/notice]
The values in the "rights" column need to be replaced with Windows NTFS rights.
|NTFS right
Table 3: Table structure for migRaven
1.4. Windows Setting Region "English"
Concerning the Windows preferences in the english version, the comma separates one list from each other. Excel uses this information and separates the fields of CSV files by searching for a comma. Nevertheless when you like to load a Netware-Trustee file, you must choose the option "files" "from text", in order to transmit Excel the file origin MS-DOS (PC-8).
Therefore a Trustee file from an OES Sever must be imported by using the option "files" "from text" to deliver the needed semicolon.
2. Create prerequisite for migRaven
Create accounts on the Windows-Server
In the Windows-AD, the users, as written under Novell, must be created.
All users must be created, which are not included in the trustee-file, like the members of the groups mentioned in the trustee-file.
[notice]Before the migration, the users, as written under Novell, as well as the members of the groups mentioned in the trustee-file must be created.[/notice]
3. Import the excel file
After you edited the table save it as an xlsx file to import it in migRaven directly.
Image 1: Click "Open file" to import the xlsx file.
4. Connection data to the Novell-Server
A connection to the Novell eDirectory is created via a LDAP-interface. Via this, migRaven can determine the container members. In addition to this, the parameters for the connection structure to the Novell server must be specified in the group configuration on the tab "Novell".
Three specifications are required:
– The address of the Novell-Server (IP-Address or Server-Name) with LDAP-Port, for example 192.168.0.44:389.
– The name of the admin with fully qualified name (distinguished name, DN), for example CN=admin,OU=Berlin,O=aikux.
– The password of this admin is requested when starting a project.
The admin who logged in here must be in the same organization (o=firma) as the groups and uses, which are to be dissolved.
Image 2: The admin name and the Novell server address can be stored in the migRaven config file.
Using this connection, migRaven establishes a LDAP connection to the Novell server and accesses its eDirectory. For the groups and containers included in the trustee-file, migRaven obtains the members name from the eDirectory of the Novell server. Then migRaven checks whether these exist as a user with the same name in the Active Directory of Windows server. If not, it will be acknowledged with an error message in the status column.
5. Configure migRaven
migRaven should always be run as Administrator.
Active Directory Import
While starting, migRaven looks for domains. After starting, the found devices will be displayed. You must mark the desired domain and scan with the button "Read in a complete AD/Forest" in the Neo4j database. This is a prerequisite for all projects in migRaven. This allows migRaven to work with his own copy of your AD.
Group configuration
When creating new authority structures in accordance with the best practice recommendations of Microsoft, migRaven creates authorization groups. For this, we must determine here the group type, its location in the AD and the names design. If these groups are later used by 8MAN, we have already noted, what demands and opportunities 8MAN offers for name design of its rights groups. A detailed instruction is provided with the documentation "Cooperation of migRaven and 8MAN".
As a "type" for the authorization groups, one of the three group types must be selected. We recommend Universal groups, since they contribute only to 8 bytes instead of 40 bytes in case of global groups to the Kerberos token. Their disadvantage is that they cannot include local groups.
These authorization groups are stored in an OU in the AD. We determine this OU here:
"In the OU (canonical name):" test.local\novell (Example). migRaven creates among them an OU with your server names. In this lands the created groups.
On the tab "Name" we design the group name.
The group name is comprised of several elements connected by separators.
1. Prefix: The prefix can be freely selected, for example "8M".
2. Group type: For the group type, u, dl and g are possible. Because we favor universal groups, appears "u".
3. Directory: It follows the directory, in migRaven it is mandatory. It may be accompanied by release- and server-name.
4. Access rights: As suffix, abbreviations for the access rights are provided:
li – For list right
re – For read/execute
w – For read/write
m – For modify
mx – modify plus (like modify, prevents however the deletion, moving and renaming the authorization endpoint)
f – For full control.
In case of migRaven, these short descriptions can be changed since the version 2.1.1020.
5. Separator: The underscore, the hyphen and the space are possible as separator.
In the preview for the group names, one displays: 8M_u_<Verzeichnisse>_<Suffix>
After we created the prerequisites, we call the Novell Migration.
If a reference to "Activation of the Novell-Migration" appears, you must complete three parameters in the Config file, with which migRaven can create the connection to the Novell-Server.
One recognizes this parameter with the keyword "Novell_eD".
If these parameters are available, it proceeds.
In case of Project-Name any text can be entered, for example Novell1.
In case of release path the target address (Windows-Server and target release) is specified, for example \\WIN-I7KUHV97KJJ\Novell1.
Then we can start the Migration.
The data prepared in excel are marked and copied in the buffer.
This concerns the three columns with the path, the (Windows-) rights and the trustees, without headings.
In migRaven, please click on the left field, "Enter" and insert the data with Ctrl-V.
While validating migRaven establishes a connection with the Novell-Server.
If no connection can be created with the Novell-Server, please control the correctness of the parameters for the Novell server on the tab "Novell".
If the connection could be established, the column "Status" provides references for the users and members not found.
Error cause can be that the mentioned users or objects were not found in the current Windows-AD.
It must be available with the same name as under Novell. You must create missing accounts in the AD and thereafter you must read in the AD again in migRaven. Then you can repeat the Novell-Migration.
On the basis of the read and if necessary the corrected authorizations, migRaven creates new authorization groups in accordance with the Best Practice-recommendations of Microsoft. You can display these new authorization structures in detail in a visualized directory tree.
The new authorization structure is then implemented by the next both work steps. That is, nothing was not yet written in your system.
Image 3: Save into the database
8. View New state check
Afterwards migRaven branches out in the visual portrayal.
In the View New state you can see the authorizations that migRaven has planned for you.
Here you can examine the planned authorizations in detail.
New state
Image 4: New state
9. Create and nest new groups in AD – Deploy Groups
In this step, the groups are lastly created and nested in the AD.
10. Create target directory on the Windows-Server – Deploy ACL
Create an empty, fully authorized duplicate of the directories
11. Result control
Control whether the regenerated authorizations in the target directory correspond with the expectations
After successfully generating the target directory by migRaven, the result should be checked. This is easily possible, in which one generates a new project with the newly created directory tree.
Explanation for the interface-> Link http://www.migraven.com/berechtigungen-visualisieren/
Please control all regenerated authorizations, whether they correspond with your expectations. Thereafter the replication of the data should be triggered.
12. Replicate old data in the new directory tree
If this target directory should include your data and function as new share, then only the data must be replicated in the new area. This cannot be done directly via migRaven.
The replication can be done in various ways. Robocopy of Microsoft is offered with fewer amounts of data.
If the directory tree contains lot of files, then we have had very good experiences with PeerSync. That is a tool that enables a clear Realtime bytelevel-Replication, without which Source and Target must be always compared. A further advantage of PeerSync is the support for NetApp.
Because the source is a Novell server, one must reckon with the function restrictions in case of copy programs.

BSOD - DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE related to ntoskrnl.exe
Hello All,
First of all, thank you for taking the time to help strangers on the internet! Seriously, very, very awesome of you.
I have had periodic bluescreen events since I built this computer, but they seem to be getting closer together. I haven't been able to identify any obvious causes and have rechecked to make sure all connectors are well seated.
I've attached the zip file containing the SF_Diagnostic_tool results.
I'd love some feedback on what you all think may be the root cause as well as how you identified it from the files.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Gregidon.
Follow the tutorial Power Plan Settings - Change
When you are at Step 5, Expand:

For TMS Europe the term 'Data Logging' covers a wide range of solutions and many measurement variables. These include temperature, humidity, pressure, CO² and other gases, and also electrical variables in the form of energy monitoring. The form these data loggers take includes hand-held instruments, self contained in-process units, wireless (radio frequency) monitoring systems, and PC connected data acquisition units.
Many of our data loggers are available with UKAS calibration. For some temperature data logging systems we can also supply temperature sensors and calibrate them as a complete system.
As well as data loggers we also offer other data acquisition systems such as ABB process recorders and Eurotherm temperature recorders, including the Eurotherm 5000B Data Acquisition Unit which logs temperature sensors and other process signals and allows secure remote access over a computer network or the internet.

Imagine a child having to say goodbye to his parents, relatives and friends without knowing if he will ever see them again and heading alone to a foreign country.
I don't have to imagine — I was one of those children. In 1962, I was among the more than 14,000 Cuban children sent to America alone by our parents to escape from Fidel Castro's communism.
This year — which could easily be called the year of the immigrant across the world — my own childhood experience as an Operation Pedro Pan child has become more vivid. When I see European refugees running to freedom with their children and belongings on their back — their fear and desperation reminds me of me and my brother and my parents' journey.
At 18, I forfeited a music scholarship to Prague to accept an uncertain future in exile. With no knowledge of English, money to pursue an education or family to help, I came to the United States.
After several months at Camp Matecumbe in southwest Miami-Dade, where the teenage boys in the program where sent, eventually my brother and I ended up in a foster home — in Kennewick, Washington.
I wanted to tell my refugee story of strife, hope and perseverance. So I wrote my memoir, Cuba, Adiós. In it I chronicle my experience as a Pedro Pan: the dark days of loneliness; the sense that life had taken a wicked turn; the yellow-brick road that led everywhere but Oz.
Plagued by guilt around my sexual identity and having to care for a younger brother, I forged ahead — I had no choice. I eventually became the composer I had dreamed of becoming before my life in Cuba was interrupted.
My motivation for writing my memoir was the lack of knowledge among the younger members of my own family about Operation Pedro Pan, a program that had bridged two different cultures and had acquired great political significance over the years. I wanted them to know. And I wanted to tell them its importance. This summer, both HistoryMiami and the Freedom Tower have unveiled exhibitions honoring the unique program.
I have nieces and nephews, born in this country and now of voting age and engaged in discussions over the issue of immigration — a topic that seems to have caught fire ever since the campaign for the 2016 presidential elections started. I asked myself: How can they understand the topic without knowing about their own relatives' journey to America as immigrants?
Pedro Pan children entered the United States with visa waivers — a special classification granted by the U.S. government. By 1966, Cubans setting foot in this country, regardless of how they arrived, were allowed to stay and became eligible to become residents a year later — thanks to the Cuban Adjustment Act. In 1995, the Clinton administration revised the act, allowing only those arriving by land to stay. This revision has been referred to as the "wet-foot, dry-foot policy."
Regardless, the lenient immigration rules Cubans enjoy in the United States have been a thorn in the side of other immigrants, who have found the road to citizenship arduous.
The disparity has become more acute since relations between the United States and Cuba have eased. Cubans are now free to travel outside, and many, when arriving in America, present their Cuban passport and immediately apply for refugee status — ignoring that a refugee is someone who is fleeing an oppressive regime. In reality, these Cubans are traveling back and forth between the two countries at their leisure.
If the immigration issue has remained at a standstill — we'll sooner be traveling to Pluto than solving the crisis. America's changing its policy toward Cuba has moved faster than anticipated and polarized the Cuban community.
The older generation believes there should be no concession extended to a regime that has robbed us of our freedom. They are steadfast in their vow never to return to Cuba while the Castro brothers are in power. But never, I have found, becomes a kaleidoscope that forms new colors and shapes as our lives morphs.
Lorenzo Pablo Martinez, a composer, lives in New Jersey. He will appear at 7 p.m. Saturday at Books & Books in Coral Gables and read from his memoir, 'Cuba, Adiós.'
WHAT: Book signing for Cuba, Adiós
WHEN: 7 p.m. Saturday

One Third of Scotland's Sheep May Freeze to Death
One Million Sheep May Freeze
You've almost certainly heard about the cold snap that sweeping both the US and Northern Eurasia (while it's uncharacteristically warm in other parts of the world)--record cold temperatures are being set, and many tragedies are unfolding. In Scotland, the victims are the sheep: one million of them, a whole one third of Scotland's sheep, may freeze to death during the current cold spell. Scottish farmers are afraid that up to a million sheep (out of Scotland's 2.8 million total) are freezing and starving to death, the Guardian reports. They've been left vulnerable on the hillsides during weeks of unexpected subzero temperatures--and the conditions are only expected to get much worse over the weekend. The severe cold could last as long as another week.
According to the Guardian,
Nigel Miller, vice-president of NFU Scotland and a former vet, said that sheep farms were facing a crisis ... The greatest fear is that winds could start blowing the deep snow into drifts, burying and smothering flocks. Many could also begin to dehydrate through a lack of drinking water. "That's the real scare: if it really begins to blow around, these sheep will be in real trouble," he said.The deep snow is preventing the sheep from grazing, and the heavy winds are trapping sheep in walls of snow. Experts say the sheep are on a veritable 'knife's edge' and that their survival hangs in the balance--and that many likely won't make it out. They say that among the biggest challenges are getting feed and water to the animals. And it's been brutally cold to be sure. Check out this depiction of the weather in the same report:
In the worst-affected areas of northern Scotland, the snow - which has been falling for up to three weeks and is reported to be 1.2m (4ft) deep in places - has brought down the roofs of barns, cow byres and garages, killing cattle and damaging vehicles.Sounds rough out there. Let's keep our fingers crossed for the sheep.
For more in-depth info on the current cold snap, check out this report from the AP and the UK Met Office.

Lily of the Valley
I usually force narcissus bulbs for Christmas, but this year I thought it would be nice to force some bulbs for spring. I love white flowers so decided on Lily of the Valley.

When I was younger and my parents would ask me what I wanted for dessert for my birthday, my answer was pretty much always berry pie, or berry crisp, basically anything with berries and a crust. And specifically blackberries. I love it and heart it and want to hug it and squeeze it. I love the tart berries with the salty/sweet crust/crumble. I also love back slashes as you can see ////:)
There are some thornless blackberries growing in our backyard so I've been taking full advantage of this little gift since usually the regular blackberries that grow around here don't start popping up till late August. As a result I've made a couple crisps. And crisps only cause it's faster and easier than a pie dough and these days that's just what works for me. This recipe is for a triple berry crisp which is what I did origionally but works just as well for a single berry, or any kind of fruit you have.
- 1 1/2 cups blackberries
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries
- 1 1/2 cups raspberries
- 4 T white sugar
- 2 C flour
- 2 C rolled oats
- 1 1/2 C brown sugar
- 1 t ground cinnamon
- 1/2 t ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 C butter
- Preheat oven to 350
- In a large bowl toss together berries and sugar. Set aside.
- In another bowl mix together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in butter until crumbly. Press half the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 pan, cover with berries and then cover with the rest of the crumble mixture.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 - 40 minutes or until bubbly.
One thing that makes it easier is melting the butter and pouring it over the crisp mixture instead of cutting it in. The double layer of "crisp" is why I like this recipe. Can't have too much crisp. I like to say crisp and use /////:)

Today will be a pretty fun debate, but a short one. There will be 1000 charecters, 2 rounds, and the BoP is on Pro. My posititon will be that Posideon is better, and Pro will be that Hades is better.
The topic will be if Hades is a better greek god than Posideon. Only 1000 charecters are allowed in this debate.
My first reason is that Posideon is much more non gloomy, and has better powers. What do you want, the dead or the sea. I believe that many people will think that they like the sea. Posideon also has a cool trident when Hades only has a invisvble hat. I believe that Posideon is way better than Hades just because of this.
My second reason is the attiude. If you read Hades in books, he is this gloomy person with a frown, with few skelteons, when Posideon is with horses, seashells, sea, much more. I think Posideon is way better.
Vote me!!!
Second, the reason why Hades located in hell with skeleton is because when Hades, Zeus and Poseidon defeating the Titans they decide which part from the world that they got, Zeus got the sky, Poseidon got the sea and Hades got hell
Poseidon have even bad attitude, He tried to take over Athena city, He and Apollo also challange Zeus until Zeus punish them to work for troy. The king of Troy ask them to build a big wall, he promise to pay them with wine and he lied them. After that Poseidon hate the Troy, how could a god have spite inside their heart
Parisien forfeited this round.
hariogb forfeited this round.

Of being Hades strongest? Nope.
Of Poseidon having a bad attiude of going for Athens, every god wants to be the city's patrol. Of Poseidon and Apollo, Hera was the one to made plans. For Poseidon working for Troy, and not in the side of Troy, thats nothing. Hades kidnapped the goddess of flowers, springtime.
