Hey everyone, and welcome to my first post! I think I'm going to jump straight into it and give you a nice simple recipe for my first post.
Summer's here!
I can feel it; the days are getting longer, and the layers are getting fewer. Aaaand it's the holidays at the moment, so I've been enjoying the sunny weather. I've been longing for this season since it ended in February. And now it's actually come! It felt like it never would!
Yesterday I made myself a nice icy treat to celebrate for the inevitable return of the Australian hot weather. We had loads of fruit in the fridge, and what better way to prepare it lazily than to freeze it up and blend it with some coconut water?

holiday: mario badescu discovery kit.
as i wade through the onslaught of holiday gifts for this season, i've found i just cannot get behind a gift set that mixes a brand's stellar products with things i literally will never use. luckily, mario badescu's discovery kit is filled only with their stars. the brands most iconic products are featured in a striped, somewhat nautical, cosmetics bag. more than half of the products included are already part of my routine. i use the the enzyme cleansing gel, drying lotion, and facial spray daily, and i think i should add the SPF moisturizer to that list.
kit includes travel-sized versions of:
- drying lotion
- enzyme cleansing gel
- AHA botanical body soap
- facial spray with aloe, herbs and rosewater
- oil free moisturizer SPF 30
- special hand cream with vitamin E

If you're a chip designer like AMD, how do you improve security when you know that there's all the chance in the world that someone's going to hack into the software your processor will be running and just simply take over. How would you stop that from ever happening right from the millisecond the hard code hits the CPU cache? By using a single core to prevent such software execution, that's how. IBM's Cell processor inside the Playstation 3 famously has eight Synergistic Processing Elements (Sony speak for, "we spent a truckload of money on it") cores but doesn't use all of them – six of those cores are available to developers while the seventh is used for the Playstation GUI and general usage. The eighth is reportedly disabled to improve chip yields, although I believe that may actually be used to prevent software execution that Sony doesn't like or want on its system.
While the reality is that the eighth core's purpose is still a mystery, AMD has recently teamed up with ARM to allow the use of ARM's TrustZone technology on their APUs and motherboards. Hit the jump for more info and some interesting possibilities.
The partnership will see AMD inject ARM's TrustZone technology into future APUs via a SoC (system-on-chip). AMD is calling it an industry first collaboration and says by adopting "the industry-standard approach to security that TrustZone technology embodies," the two companies will be able to provide a consistent approach to security spanning billions of web-connected devices, be they ARM-based or AMD x86 APU-based. If this is gibberish to you, here's what it means for you: AMD's APUs will be hard at work providing you with a great low-cost gaming experience while there's a low-power ARM Cortex-A5 sitting quietly on the board, monitoring all the info the flows around it. If it finds a string of malicious code, it will kill it before it even reaches the L1 cache of the APU without disturbing you or your game.
Its like Data Execution Prevention, a software measure designed to prevent code executing in hardware without your approval. Over the years the use of D.E.P. has waned and it isn't so hotly thrown around anymore as Windows closes up more holes over time. However, malicious code that could get into your BIOS and overvolt your CPU to toasted levels still is a problem and one that D.E.P. can't easily fix without ruining some legitimate software.
ARM's approach is much more simple, employing a single core to monitor for such code and kill it before the start process. It will have much better use in computing environments where the hardware doesn't change – that benefits laptops, tablets, phones and consoles. Its been a longtime rumour that Sony seeks to use AMD's APU inside the PS3, likely to be a version of Trinity for consoles when the next-generation units launch next year. With both Microsoft and Sony looking to cut costs and development time, this is the perfect time for AMD to stage a coup with their APU lineup. With the dual-GPU HD7660 it would make 720p gaming a breeze, just about right for it to be an upgrade for today's consoles. If there's any plans on beefing that power up to 1080p levels remains to be seen, but we're going off topic here.
"As technology becomes more important to our everyday lives, security needs to be present in every single device. The challenge that the industry faces is how to make this a reality," said Ian Drew, executive vice president, strategy, ARM. "Through this technology partnership with AMD, and the broadening of the ARM TrustZone technology ecosystem, we're making another important step towards a solution. The aim is to make security accessible and consistent for consumers and business users across all computing devices."
As I said before, this applies to devices that don't change hardware and this will be a huge design win for AMD, especially since Intel has nothing like this at all. AMD further confirmed that it plans to provide development platforms that have TrustZone security features on select APUs in 2013, expanding further across its product portfolio in 2014.
That's right on cue for the next Playstation release. Bets, anyone?

A theme is emerging: every weekend there is a slew of negative news about bonuses at the Royal Bank of Scotland. This weekend was no different.
On Saturday it emerged that George Osborne, the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, was demanding that RBS pay the US element of its Libor fine itself- ideally from the bonus pool. Osborne confirmed that this is his intention in a speech today: "When it comes to RBS, I am clear that the bill for any US fine related to this investigation should on this occasion be paid for by the bankers, and not the taxpayer," Osborne said.
The US element of RBS's Libor fine will be around £300m, predicts the Financial Times. Last year's RBS bonus pool was £390m, suggesting this year's RBS bonuses could be reduced by nearly 80% this year. To soften the blow, it seems that not all of the US fine will be taken from this year's bonuses - some will be clawed back from bonuses awarded in previous years. This means that this year's RBS bonus clawback will be far more wide-ranging than previously anticipated, taking in managers in the investment bank as well as traders and executives who were directly implicated in the manipulation of Libor.
Worse (if you work at RBS), it seems that the commitment to cut bonuses to pay for Libor fines will be ongoing. The Financial Times said that even after cutting this year's bonus pool and clawing back previous year's bonuses, there's still likely to be a shortfall in the money available to pay the US fine. George Osborne has therefore indicated that he expects to make up the difference by cutting future bonus rounds, said the FT.
In future, Antonio Horta-Osorio will only receive a bonus if Lloyds' share price closes above 73.6p on a to-be-agreed minimum number of trading days. (Sky)

The Doctors: Teachers Behaving Badly
There are approximately 3.5 million teachers in the U.S., which The Doctors applauded for their service to American children. But two "bad apples" recently made news for alleged bad conduct. One North Caroline elementary teacher resigned after she was accused of allegedly washing out the mouth of a 5-year-old student with antibacterial soap. In another story, a Florida teacher was accused of forcing a 4-year-old pre-k student to clean out a toilet he clogged with too much toilet paper, with his bare hands. The second teacher was simply changed to a different classroom.
Dr Rachael Ross argued that a person like that should never be able to be around children again. It goes without saying that the toilet was certainly not "clean" enough for a child to be digging in it with their bare hands. What would you do if you found out your child was one of the kids like reported in this segment?
The Doctors: Clean Freak Viral Video
We all know someone who is a clean freak, and in the latest episode of Gayle! comedian Chris Fleming plays Gayle Waters-Waters, a super clean freak mom who is practically a perfectionist when it comes to cleaning her home. Chris joined the show saying he was inspired by several different people, but there's no denying it's hilarious enough to warrant the millions of views it's gotten!
The Doctors: Cocaine Use During Traffic Stop?
Next, The Doctors shared news of a 73-year-old man who was arrested in Seattle for having his headlights off. After running his license and registration, the officer returned to leave the man with a warning, but found the man in the process of snorting cocaine. The man reportedly had a spotless criminal record before the incident and was booked for narcotics possession.
The guy clearly made a mistake! Mistake was the word of the day and you can use the word mistake on The Doctors' website to enter for a chance to win a $150 gift card to EyeBuyDirect.com.
The Doctors: Play Games To Relieve Stress
The Doctors' prescription of the day was about playing something fun to reduce stress and anxiety. Try doing what Ice-T and Coco did! Ice-T brought in an X-Box to the hospital while his wife was experiencing a lot of anxiety, in order to play video games, which can reportedly help with stress!

There is a peculiar divide between the conventional and unconventional perception of the resilience/vulnerability of the Status Quo.
The conventional view sees the Status Quo as stable and powerful enough to weather any threat or storm short of a full-scale thermonuclear war (i.e. an exchange of 1,000+ nuclear warheads) or climate catastrophe (meltdown of the Antarctic ice cap, etc.).
The unconventional view is that the Status Quo is increasingly vulnerable to a "Black Swan" type catalyst: disruption in the global oil supply chain, a global climate event, hyper-inflation that destroys the dollar, etc.
A few years ago I sketched out the basic power nodes of the Status Quo:
If I were technically adept on graphics, I would add roll-over charts of each node's total employment and budget. But interestingly, these two data points would not necessarily reflect the power and influence concentrated in each node.
For instance, the Federal Reserve has relatively few employees and a modest budget.
One conclusion I draw from this chart is that a whole heap of folks are deeply committed to sustaining the Status Quo. That deep desire to maintain their perquisites and status certainly add to the system's resiliency.
If I were technically adept on graphics, I would configure this into a 3-D chart with lines between various nodes that reflected the strength of the ties. That configuration would tell us more about the networks within the Status Quo than budgets or personnel numbers.
I purposefully drew this chart to mimic brain cells and neural networks. The more connections and nodes in a network, the greater its resiliency. Those expecting a tipping-point cascade collapse of the entire Status Quo may be surprised by the system's reserves of resilience, some of which is depicted in this crude chart.

People living and working around Sandy Lane Shopping Centre can get involved in West Lancashire Borough Council's "Get Creative with Sandy Lane" project and help make the shopping centre a more colourful and inviting place to shop, work and visit.
Artist Sarah Jane Richards will be facilitating a period of creative consultation planned at inspiring people to come up with ideas to improve the image of the centre. These could include new seating, landscaping and improvements to the entrances and walkways as part of an initiative that could build on Sandy Lane's heritage. As Sandy Lane is part of Old Skelmersdale it has a long proud history and with the community's involvement this initiative would help make the area even more appealing to attract visitors and customers.
West Lancashire Borough Council is looking to work in partnership with Lancashire County Council and is awaiting the results of a grant funding application which will help expand the project. The consultation will include talking to businesses at the centre and providing opportunities for the local community to get involved. The process will include a number of workshops and drop in activities that will result in the installation of temporary artworks, created by local people, giving the centre a festival feel. The activities are aimed at finding out how local residents feel about the centre and exploring, in a creative way, how the centre and its surroundings can be improved.
The suggestions put forward during the activities will inform the basis of a design brief that will be used to attract submissions of interest from creative companies. Those shortlisted will then be invited to produce practical ideas for schemes. These will then go on display at Sandy Lane and a favourite design will be chosen by public vote. The implementation of the proposed scheme of work will be dependent on achieving funding.
A mural "The storytelling Tree" by artist Martin Hayhust has been painted on one of the staircases at the centre in readiness for a free summer programme of events planned to include storytelling, a teddy bears picnic and a Vintage and Handmade fair.
Artist Sarah Jane Richards has been working with pupils from St Richard's Catholic Primary School over two days to develop ideas about Sandy Lane that will contribute to the initial part of the consultation process. The whole school has had an opportunity to produce designs that will inform finished pieces of artwork produced by the artist as temporary installations around the centre.
Councillor Andrew Fowler, portfolio holder for Regeneration and Estates, said: "There is a fantastic community spirit among the people who live and work around Sandy Lane and we hope this scheme will draw on that and become a big success with local people. So please come along to our drop in creative consultation sessions and tell us about your ideas for the centre."
Councillor David Sudworth, portfolio holder for Leisure, said: "Sandy Lane Shopping centre is a thriving focal point for the local community and we are aiming to make it an even better place to for people to work and shop with this project. So make sure you get involved and let us know what ideas you have for the area."
The first drop in sessions where people can give their ideas are entitled 'Secrets of Sandy Lane' and take place on Wednesday 30 July and Saturday 2 August between 10am and midday and 1pm and 3pm. These will reveal the hidden history of Sandy Lane by bringing alive its history by creating flagged bunting that will be installed around the centre.
Two more sessions, entitled 'On the Fence', take place on Tuesday 19 August and Friday 22 August. Visitors can also work with artist Sarah Jane Richards to design and create carnival creatures to adorn the street furniture at Sandy Lane.
For more information on the project please contact West Lancashire Arts Development Manager Helen Juste on 01695 571306 / 571328 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
There are some great free fun summer activities planned for Sandy Lane over the coming months. More details will be released very soon.

Apricot kernel oil is a mild, lightly nutty smelling light-yellow oil. Our apricot kernel oil is gained from sweet apricot kernels.
Rich in oleic acid
Apricot kernel oil is being used as a base for skin care products because of its rich content of oil and linoleic acid. Because apricot kernel oil is mild, hardly greasing and is absorbed quickly by the skin it is especially suitable for mature and sensitive skin. Apricot kernel oil has a reputation for giving the skin a healthy glow.
The cosmetics industry values apricot kernel oil because of its moisturizing, nurturing and soothing effect. In addition apricot kernel oil strengthens skin tissue, activates the metabolism and supports the cell recovery.
Apricot kernel oil is being used in anti-cellulitis supplements, anti-dandruff shampoos, anti-aging compounds, after-sun lotions, massage oils and babycare products.
The nurturing properties of our Apricot kernel oil were confirmed in a cosmetic study by Dr. Hauck R & D GmbH in October 2015. The results may be requested from us.
In the kitchen apricot kernel oil is being used for making desserts. Here it is a cheap alternative to almond oil.

Street Trucks 10th Anniversary AwardsTuesday, October 20th, 2009
Photos From the ST Archives
Over the last 10 years, many of the most iconic and still-talked-about custom trucks have found their way onto the covers and pages of Street Trucks. We started out this issue with the intention of picking the top 10 trucks from the past decade. Soon, we found ourselves overwhelmed with all of the insane, full-blown custom trucks across the issues. After much debating, arguing and a pile of blow-in cards, we wound up with the top 20 trucks, as well as a few honorable mentions and special awards. Whittling the batch down even further would not do justice to the history of the past 10 years of Street Trucks.

Many medical facilities owners, like owners of hospitals or clinics, believe that keeping a roster of good doctors, specialist and highly-qualified nurses, continuous technological development that will lead to service upgrade, and making sure that patients are diagnosed correctly and given timely treatment, are the best means to display commitment in the provision of quality patient care.
This is not the case in many other medical institutions or facilities, however, as can be proven by the fact that these institutions have, time and again, been said to be having bad doctors or that these are just poorly managed due of the frequency of medical mistakes which result to injuries and patient death. Due to the lack of authentic concern to patients and the errors made in patient care, many hospitals, doctors, and other medical professionals, have been the addressees of many legal claims for damages.
Medical malpractice, which refers to acts of negligence by a health care professional or provider that result to i sub-standard treatment which, in turn, results to injury or death to a patient is one frightening reality in the United States that occurs much frequently than any one may realize. It can be maddening to know that this malpractice if nothing more than a consequence of negligence or carelessness of medical experts – a grave failure to provide the quality care that they promised to give and which patients rightly deserve. In 2010 alone, the Office of Inspector General for Health and Human Services made a report regarding the death of about 180,000 Medicare patients; this is a small figure, though, according to a study that the Journal of Patient Safety printed, wherein figures ranged between 210,000 and 440,000.
One particular example of medical malpractice, which continues to cause great harm to patients is surgical error. Errors committed in the surgical room includes surgery performed on a wrong patient, incorrect surgical procedure, surgery on the wrong site, incorrect dosage of anesthesia, improper suturing, mishandling of surgical instruments, foreign objects inside body cavity, and post-surgical complications.
West Palm Beach personal injury attorneys know that negligent surgeons are capable of performing life-altering surgical errors that may leave a patient permanently injured or in need of expensive corrective treatment. Thus, if a mistake is committed, it may be for the good of the victim (and others who may end up as victims) to hold the negligent medical staff responsible for the injury that he/she has caused.

Thanks for posting this relatively "raw" video-it really gives the viewer the feeling of being part of the flying. Love to see more like it. Great to see the inside of the St. Vincent's gym again!

LONDON (AFP) – British Prime Minister Theresa May will on Wednesday hold talks with EU Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker and chief negotiator Michel Barnier, ahead of a summit to set the bloc's Brexit "red lines".
In the first such meeting between the three key players, they will discuss the upcoming negotiations on Britain's withdrawal from the European Union over dinner at May's Downing Street residence.
Brussels has hardened its position in recent days, making new demands over financial services, immigration and the bills Britain must settle before ending its 44-year-old membership of the bloc.
The leaders of the other 27 EU nations will meet on April 29 to formally approve the guidelines for Barnier, the EU's chief negotiator for Brexit, although the talks will not begin until June.
At Downing Street, both sides are likely to "reiterate their positions going into the Brexit talks", Nina Schick, associate director at advisory firm Hanbury Strategy, told AFP.
"I wouldn't expect too much substance from the meeting," she added.
It is the first meeting between May and Juncker since the British leader triggered Article 50 of the EU's Lisbon Treaty on March 29, launching the two-year divorce proceedings.
Juncker follows in the footsteps of European Parliament President Antonio Tajani, who met May in London on April 20, and European Council chief Donald Tusk, who visited Downing Street on April 6.
May's spokesman said the visits show that Britain "will be approaching the negotiations in a constructive manner and with great goodwill".
But new draft negotiating guidelines, agreed on Monday by Barnier and European diplomats and seen by AFP, point to months of difficult talks ahead.
They suggest the other 27 EU leaders will seek to hold Britain liable for the bloc's costs for at least a year after it leaves in 2019 — longer than was previously proposed.
They insist that Britain's dominant finance industry will not necessarily be tied to any future trade deal with the EU and that it must also stick to the bloc's rules if it wants easy access to EU markets.
Britain will also be required to give EU citizens permanent residency after living there for five years, in a challenge for the British government, which has vowed to limit immigration.
For Schick, who works with the Open Europe initiative, the tougher guidelines "are not really a surprise".
"I would argue that (in Britain) there is a sense of at best optimism, at worst just not understanding where the EU side is coming from," she said.
May, who took office in July after a shock referendum vote for Brexit, surprised Britain last week by calling a snap general election for June 8 to give her a mandate for the EU negotiations.
She has committed to pulling Britain out of Europe's single market to end free movement of EU citizens into Britain, but says she wants to form a new partnership with the bloc.
Opinion polls put the Conservative party leader on course to significantly increase her slim majority of 17 in the 650-seat House of Commons.

30 Students and Staff travelled to London on Thursday 23rd March to see School of Rock at the New London Theatre. Students are due to perform the show in July and therefore got a good chance to see the show in action.
The day started at the academy at 8am when the bus left for London, we arrived at the New London Theatre where students browsed and purchased most of the souvenir stand. As students took their seats the excitement began to increase. At the interval the consensus was that the show was brilliant, and even more so as the ice creams and soft drinks had just been delivered. After the show students were treated to a Q&A session with the company manager and managed to walk on the stage.
Students and Staff arrived back at the Academy at 10pm after a long but exciting day, raring to put on our very own production in July.
De Warenne Academy would like to thank Chris Boyle the company manager, the staff at the New London Theatre, and of course the cast of School of Rock for an amazing day.
