Who is Anthem Sports? (TNA's New Owners)
Since google lets me become a 24-hour expert, he's part of a big Canadian media mogul family. The Aspers ran CanWest Media, which owned a string of newspapers, cable channels, TV, radio, etc etc until 2008. They borrowed a lot of money in the 1990s and 2000s to buy properties, and in 2008 revenues dropped and the funders called in the loans and they couldn't pay the loans and lost the companies.
But families like that tend to have a lot of money socked away--they lost their ability to run newspapers and TV stations and websites with Other People's Money. I can't find anything on whether Fight Network is making any money, but this guy can probably afford to fund Fight Networks' losses--and TNA's losses--indefinitely.
Asper has also run a non-pro-wrestling company, so I expect things like payroll and merchandising and tours to run on a professional basis. TNA is a lot closer to Fight Network's core business than it was to Panda Energy's. (I suspect that Panda *could* have done a better job running TNA than they did, but either it was JArrett's operation and they were just funding it, or later it was Dixie's operation and nobody at PAnda's offices reported to Dixie, so TNA was a money-losing stepchild.)
EDIT: I suspect Panda funded TNA the way my parents funded me in college. They would sending me money after I got myself into a financial jam. The family would have saved money by just figuring out how much money I actually needed per month and sending that much in the first place. Dad kept asking me to set up a budget, but I had no clue how and felt bad asking them for money in the first place, so I never did, until I was out of college and had a job and could say "I'm making $300 a week, rent is this much, this is what I have left" and that was what I had to spend.
"Who will be at Wrestlemania in 2014?" That question should drive everything WWE does.
"Will there be a Bound For Glory in 2011, post-Hogan?" That is my question about TNA.

That College comparison is so apt. Although Dixie has never grew a maturity so instead of her saying "that's what I need", they realised them sending her money did not solve anything so they cut her off completely. And from then on she borrowed money from everybody, owe money to everybody. She's the worst screw up kid on drug.
About Anthem, them losing many companies does not bode well but The Fight Network is profitable. The biggest fear is that The Fight Network just give Dixie and her cronies carte blanche without interference, that they just help her out a jam but let TNA do their thing without a Corgan giving it a vision. Gaburick running TNA would be horrible. TNA needs a big change and I'm sure The Fight Network would do that.
TNA doesn't need another bailout, there's so many fingers in that pie right now Dixie probably doesn't even remember half the people she owes money to right now. Another entity giving them enough cash to get out of debt or to be able to operate for another few months isn't going to do them any good if the management stays the same. I dont know anything about this Fight Network or the company that runs it but with the amount of debt that's coming to light I can't imagine anyone being interested in purchasing TNA at this point. I would think there's probably a way to purchase TNA without taking on the debt or the lawsuits, but I'm not sure.
TNA Has a New Owner
The main page is reporting that a deal has been reached for Anthem Sports Entertainment to fund TNA. Billy Corgan is no longer with the company, and Dixie Carter while chairing the company, doesn't appear to have any power.
The article doesn't state what the future holds for TNA and what will happen to the talent and their contracts, but the deal is done apparently. No word either on if Corgan got his money back and if WWE managed to purchase the tape library.
Never end with TNA does it.

Corgan announced via Twitter that he still hasn't been paid:
"FACT: TNA was supposed to pay me to 2 days ago, which they swore to in front of a judge. Yesterday they asked for a day to 'get $ together'
Upon which, (yesterday or today) they'd 'reach out directly' to settle ALL claims. So they lied again and have used the time as a weapon
FACT: I have still not been paid, and I'm exploring all remedies including new filings with court and converting to 36 pct. equity."
Can't help but feel kinda bad for Corgan because he genuinely loved being part of TNA and he sunk a lot of time and money into trying to save it.
As far as WWE purchasing the tape library, I doubt that anything will come of this. As far as rebranding TNA goes, who the hell knows at this point.
"What Do I Know Of Cultured Ways, The Gilt, The Craft And The Lie?
I, Who Was Born In A Naked Land And Bred In The Open Sky.
The Subtle Tongue, The Sophist Guile, They Fail When The Broadswords Sing.
Rush In And Die Dogs - I Was A Man Before I Was King."
Conan Of Cimmeria
It really sucks for Corgan as I think his creativity would have been well for TNA. Now that Dixie is out of power, maybe a better product will come out. Only worry I have is if Fight Network is going to try to make TNA more fighting thend wrestling. It was tried before and failed and if they do it again you guess is it will fail again.
Actually, it looks like Anthem and Dixie Carter structured this deal to *avoid* having Anthem take ownership of TNA, at least yet. Anthem is providing TNA with credit, and taking control of some operations.
--they did it this way to avoid paying Billy Corgan the extra 50% he's supposed to get on the loan if Dixie sells TNA to someone else by November 1.
--Anthem is structuring it this way, loaning TNA more and more money with the intention of forcing TNA into Chapter 11, which means everyone TNA owes money to takes a haircut on the debt. (Instead of handing Dixie Carter $5M in exchange for TNA ownership, with Carter paying off TNA's creditors and being left with enough for a cup of coffee, Anthem is loaning TNA $5M, expecting that they'll write off half of that when TNA goes Chapter 11.)
"Who will be at Wrestlemania in 2014?" That question should drive everything WWE does.
"Will there be a Bound For Glory in 2011, post-Hogan?" That is my question about TNA.
January 4, 2010. Welcome to the TNApocalypse.
I don't care who owns TNA as long as it remains out of that diseased cockroach Vince McMahon's hands. Vince = the antichrist and death of professional wrestling as we know it.
Fuck TNA. Corgan running the show was the last hope in my eyes. I'm officially done. Won't watch another second of this nonsense.
Maybe they should try that again.

The Aureobasidium genus comprises over 15 species, of which A. pullulans is the most widely known. With a worldwide distribution, it is very common in moist environments and usually grows on plants, soil, fruit, wood, sidings and in fresh water and forests.
Aureobasidium is also very common indoors, especially in highly moist, damp, and humid areas like bathrooms, kitchens, tile grout, window frames, caulking and textiles.
Aureobasidium colonies may be pink or black in colour. A. pullulans, in particular, is initially cream to pink in colour with a flat, smooth, and moist texture. Over time, it gets darker and becomes velvety. The wet spores can get distributed by wind upon drying. It grows in cooler climates and may appear alongside Cladosporium.
Aureobasidium and your health
Aureobasidium pullulans is a common allergen, causing allergic reactions such as asthma, hay fever, hypersensitivity pneumonitis and humidifier fever. However, this mold is not a primary human pathogen and it has not been known to produce significant mycotoxins.
A. pullulans can also cause phaehyphomycosis. It has also been reported as a cause of keratomycosis, pulmonary mycosis with sepsis and cutaneous mycoses such as dermatitis. It may also colonize hair, skin and nails in humans.

(Editor: www.thereportcard.org Donald Trump is advocating spending $20 billion on school choice-voucher, charters and magnet schools. His position has drawn fire from teachers unions who oppose anything that takes funds away from public schools and their own benefits. "Donald Trump isn't serious about doing what's best for our students, and he's clueless about what works," said National Education Association president Lily Eskelsen Garcia in a press release. "His silver bullet approach does nothing to help the most-vulnerable students and ignores glaring opportunity gaps while taking away money from public schools to fill private-sector coffers." Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers stated: "Donald Trump hasn't done his homework all the available evidence shows his ideas will only destabilize public schools and hurt kids."
Actually, the evidence is quite the contrary, charters and vouchers work, and generally produce superior results. The status quo merely provides benefits to the unions).
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump unveiled his policy stances on school choice on Thursday, revealing a $20 billion plan Trump believes will shift public education in the right direction.
By Allison Nielsen
Appearing in Cleveland, Trump said he would redirect $20 billion federal dollars into state funding to establish a block grant for states to use to help poor children attend different public schools, private schools or magnet schools.
"Each state will develop its own formula, but the dollars should follow the student," Trump said.
A similar voucher program is already in place in Florida, where nearly 100,000 low-income students receive scholarships to attend private schools. Private companies fund Florida's school choice program, who then in turn are given tax breaks for their participation in the program.
Trump didn't say exactly where the federal dollars would come from in the budget, but said the block grants would go to the 11 million school age children living in poverty nationwide.
Trump said the goal of school choice would become a "shared national mission" if he were president, aiming "to bring hope" to every child nationwide. It will then be up to constituents to elect officials at the local, state and federal levels who support school choice.
States would provide up to $12,000 per student to attend a different school.
"The school choice proposals unveiled today by Mr. Trump are a bold set of policies that will increase accountability and lead to better results for our nation's children," said Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
Trump also said he would support merit-pay for teachers, a controversial platform which bases teacher salary on how well a student performs on standardized tests. Trump slammed the tenure system, which is a virtual guarantee of employment for life if a teacher works anywhere from five to 10 years in the field.
The billionaire businessman-turned-GOP nominee also criticized the Common Core State Standards, a national set of education standards implemented nationwide. Trump deemed them a "disaster."
"Obviously Common Core does not work," Trump said Thursday.
Teachers refused to jump onboard with Trump's education policies, attacking him for being out of touch with the realities facing students nationwide.
"Donald Trump isn't serious about doing what's best for our students, and he's clueless about what works," said National Education Association president Lily Eskelsen Garcia in a press release. "His silver bullet approach does nothing to help the most-vulnerable students and ignores glaring opportunity gaps while taking away money from public schools to fill private-sector coffers."
Critics of school choice believe, however, that funneling money into school choice programs negatively affects traditional public schools by shuffling tax dollars away from them. Teachers unions like the National Education Association are strictly against them.
The subject of school vouchers and school choice has been at the center of a lengthy lawsuit from the Florida Education Association, which sued over the state's Tax Credit Scholarship Program for those same reasons.
Trump's school choice stance is a favorite among the Republican crowd, which generally favors school choice. In Florida, the Tax Credit Scholarship Program is regularly supported by GOP lawmakers and opposed by many Democrats.
The education platform announcement comes after recent calls Trump has made to dramatically scale back or eliminate the U.S. Department of Education.
"Education has to be run locally," Trump wrote last year.
Restoring authority to the local level, he says, is at the heart of his priorities.
"Common Core, No Child Left Behind, and Race to the Top are all programs that take decisions away from parents and local school boards," he wrote. "These programs allow the progressives in the Department of Education to indoctrinate, not educate, our kids."
But some large groups of teachers disagree to whether Trump has the right idea on education.
"Donald Trump hasn't done his homework," wrote Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers, which represents nearly 1.6 million teachers nationwide. "All the available evidence shows his ideas will only destabilize public schools and hurt kids."

We're almost ready.
Big things are coming. Are you ready? 😉
extract the nectar, burn the tree
pensieri di una mente anarchica
We're almost ready.
Big things are coming. Are you ready? 😉
I'm pleased to announce the release 0.4.1 of MySQLfs. This is the first new official version after a long inactivity so please handle it with care. Furthermore this is my first release so, although I have double checked everything, yet I may have done some tremendous mistake.
These are main improvements in this version:
Please note that this is not a production-ready version (yet), but I ask you to test it wildly and please report all the issues that you may have. I'll try to fix them.
You can download the package here: mysqlfs-0.4.1.tar (232kb).
If your plan is to upgrade from a previous installation my suggestion is to compile the new version alongside the old one, create a new, separated FS, mount the new FS and then copying the datas from the old FS to the new one.
If you really need to do a live upgrade of an 0.4.0 database please take a look at the (unrecommended and incomplete!) upgrade script in the sql subdir.
To install mysqlfs just make sure you have installed fuse and all it's libs, plus mysql and all his devel libraries, unpack the tar.gz and just run
make install (as root)
Then create a database with proper permissions and use the file schema.sql in the sql dir to create the database definitions.
Run mysqlfs –help to see al the available options.
You're done. Have fun.
I already spent some talk on this previously but I wrote in Italian, so let's do a little recap for English readers.
Just recently I became involved in a project where a cluster of machine had to replicate their datas constantly in an active-active fashion and with geographical distribution.
We checked different kinds of solutions based either on drbd or zfs or hast or coda or… Well there's a lengthy post on this issue just a few posts before this one, so I suggest you checking that.
At the end of our comparison we found the solution that suited us best to be mysqlfs. So I started investigating on that and quickly found some issues that could be improved.
Main points were:
As I digged in the code, I found a pretty good general infrastructure but quite frankly I don't think mysqlfs was really ever used in a production environment.
Apart from that, the project was quite young (latest official version was 0.4.0) and also pretty "static", with it's latest release dating back in 2009.
So, without any knowledge of C or Fuse whatsoever I took the sources of the latest "stable" release and began experimentating with it.
A few weeks has passed and I think I reached a very interesting point. Those are the goal that I reached as of now:
Next steps are…
Right now the modification I made to mysqlfs aren't public yet, as I couldn't really understand the status of the project on sourceforge. Furthermore it's code base on sourceforge is not aligned to the version that was on the installer (the one I started working on), and it's stored in svn that I don't absolutely know how to use.
I know the latter ones aren't big issue, but my spare time is very thin, and I definitely can't waste time in learning svn or manually merging the "new" code that's in the svn and that is different from the tgz I started from. If any of you is willing to do it I'll be glad to help.
My internal git repository isn't public yet because of laziness and because I'd like to publish something that's at least usable and I have to fix a couple of problems before it could be defined "idiot proof".
In the meantime if any of you is willing to try I'd be very glad to share the modified code, or if any of you is willing to contribute then I'd be twice as glad as long as we try to keep development a bit aligned.

Elkhart 4 — Appeals Update #3
On Friday February 21, 2014 the lawyers for Blake Layman and Levi Sparks submitted their briefs to the Court of Appeals for the appeals of their felony murder convictions. The State of Indiana now has 30 days to respond to these briefs.
In an interesting twist to the appeals The Indiana Public Defender Council has submitted an "Amicus Curiae" to the court. An amicus curiae is when a party wishes to submit evidence in an appeal but they are not connected to any of the parties. The Cornell Law Website defines an amicus curiae as,
"Latin for "friend of the court." Frequently, a person or group who is not a party to a lawsuit, but has a strong interest in the matter, will petition the court for permission to submit a brief in the action with the intent of influencing the court's decision"
At this stage we do not have access to the briefs filed by the lawyers for Layman and Sparks or the amicus curiae. There are some clues that we can use to speculate. The lead attorney working on the amicus curiae for the Indiana Public Defender Council is Joel M. Schumm. Professor Schumm is a Clinical Professor of Law and the Director of the Judicial Externship Program at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. According to his biography Professor Schumm wrote a criminal appellate practice manual for Indiana lawyers which was published in 2008. He is listed as one of the 27 "best lawyer in America" for appeals in Indiana. According to his biography one of Professor Schumm's areas of focus in juvenile justice. Recently, Professor Schumm played an important role in the successful appeal of 12-year-old Paul Henry Gingerich transfer to adult court. This success resulted in a plea deal with the strong possibility of a reduced sentence.
Our main clue into Professor Schumm's appearance in this case comes from an interview he did with The Elkhart Truth on September 21, 2013. This interview specifically focused on the case of The Elkhart 4. This blog wrote about this interview in our article The Elkhart Truth Article: A good start, but 353 days late! In this interview Professor Schumm points out that there are three grounds for appeal in this case which lawyers might consider. Those grounds for appeal are,
- multiple defendants
- the fact "that it's one of the defendants, not the victim, who died during the commission of a crime, and that it was the homeowner — the victim — who fired the shots."
- Three of the boys were juveniles at the time (Levi, Blake and Jose)
Unfortunately, as we pointed out in our article "The Elkhart Truth Article: A good start, but 253 days late!" the journalist for the Elkhart Truth did not go into enough detail with Professor Schumm. A more comprehensive article would have provided all interested parties in a more detailed understanding of his opinion on this case. This added information would have been greatly appreciated given Professor Schumm's active role in these appeals.
There is however enough information for us to speculate that Professor Schumm will focus on the juvenile status of Layman and Sparks in the amicus curiae. We know that he is an advocate for juveniles and has worked on juvenile cases in Indiana including the case of Paul Henry Gingerich.
In The Elkhart Truth interview Professor Schumm reminds everyone that the felony murder charge in the case of Layman, Sparks, Quiroz and Sharp comes out of the Indiana Supreme Court Decision Palmer v. State. We have discussed this decision in depth in our article Is Curtis Hill Using the Case of The Elkhart 4 to Expand the Felony Murder Rule in Indiana. Professor Schumm reminds readers of the fact that the case of Palmer v. State established the requirement that it is "foreseeable" that a death could occur through the actions of the defendants.
In the interview Professor Schumm stated,
"Over the last several years there has been discussion about how juveniles assess situations differently from adults"
"I assume the argument could be made in appeal that whether this is foreseeable or not should be different because a juvenile's involved,"
"Maybe an adult would or should foresee that but a juvenile, if they talked about breaking into someone's house to take something, it's probably not as foreseeable to them that someone might end up getting shot as a result."
Given all of this information we believe that Professor Schumm and his team will be questioning if the felony murder rule as applied in this case is appropriate given the juvenile status of three of the defendants (Layman, Sparks and Quiroz). Of course this argument will only be focusing on Layman and Sparks since they are the defendants appealing.
In the last 10 years there has been a massive change in the way courts are dealing with juvenile defendants. Since 2005 there have been 4 major Supreme Court Cases (2005 Roper v. Simmons, 2010 Graham v. Florida, 2011 J.B.D. v. North Carolina and 2012 Miller v. Alabama) that has relied upon scientific research which has shown that brain development in teenagers impacts decision making processes and predicting and understanding consequences. This research is highlighted in Steve Drizen's Huffington Post article on The Elkhart 4. These court decisions are requiring state courts and legislatures to take the age of defendants into account in even the most serious criminal cases. Many people who support the convictions of the Elkhart 4 have chosen to ignore the juvenile issue and the connected science. This is a serious omission and those who support this conviction should take note, because courts across the US led by the Supreme Court, are not ignoring this evidence.
The fact that the issue of juvenile justice could be central to the appeals was not lost on Elkhart County Prosecutor Curtis Hill who stated in a news conference "But the greater reality is that the law has been applied in an appropriate manner, in a fair manner. The fact that these particular individuals were of younger years occurs, and the court takes that into consideration". The problem Mr. Hill has is that on the Dr. Phil Show the juror stated that "you look at the guidelines and age wasn't a part of it and so you had to put that off to the side". Mr. Hill is directly contradicted by a juror who played an active role in this trial. This contradiction is significant and the lawyers filing these appeals will have taken notice. Courts across the USA, including the Supreme Court, have been ruling that juvenile defendants ages cannot be ignored, and yet this is what appears to have happened to the Elkhart 4 according the juror.
We believe that the ignoring of age and the way the jury determined foreseeable danger will become central issues in these appeals and we believe that Professor Schumm and the legal experts from the Indiana Public Defenders Council will be writing their amicus curiae questioning the way this case was handled given the juvenile status of Layman and Sparks.

Every once in a while a Cydia tweak arrives and makes us wonder why this feature is not natively found in iOS. A new Cydia tweak called Clockify adds a nice animated live clock icon to iOS's home screen. This new icon works similarly to iOS's Calendar.app's icon that displays the current date and displays time in real time. The tweak not only makes the clock icon active, but also adds a widget in the Notification Center that shows an analog version of the clock. Clockify also adds an analog version of the clock along with the digital clock on the lock screen.
Clockify also features a black theme for the clock icon. Another cool feature of Clockify tweak is 'Alternative' that changes the clock icon to black in the night time and turns it back to the default color when it's day time. Users can customize the settings for Clockify tweak from settings.app.
Unfortunately Clockify only supports iPhone and iPod touch. The developer of this tweak has promised iPad support in iOS 6.
Clockify is available in Cydia under the BigBoss repo for $1.
You can watch Clockify tweak in action in the video below.

Whiplash Injuries Respond Favorably to Physical Therapy
The term whiplash has often caused confusion because it is used interchangeably to describe the process which causes an injury and the pain caused by that injury. Whiplash is a traumatic event that causes the head to move suddenly, or extend, in one direction, usually past its normal range, and then back in the other direction, or flex, just as suddenly. This abrupt extension and flexion of the head beyond its usual range of motion can cause serious injury to the muscles, joints and the discs of the spine.
Whiplash happens most commonly when one automobile is struck from behind by another, but can also occur anytime an automobile comes to a violent stop by hitting something head-on. Suddenness is often a factor, finding victims unprepared for an impact and with their muscles relaxed, causing more intense force to be applied to the muscles, discs and joints. This relaxed state is the reason why whiplash can occur in a seemingly small accident.
A whiplash injury manifests thru pain in the shoulders, neck or base of the skull. In most cases the ligaments in those areas have been strained and are inflamed and tender. The list of possible associated symptoms is long and their appearance is common:
- Headaches
- Shoulders, arms or back
- Dizziness and fatigue
- Blurry vision
- Loss of concentration or memory
- Trouble sleeping
- Irritability or depression
In the majority of cases, and with proper treatment, whiplash patients can expect a full recovery within four to six months of the date of the injury. Unfortunately, for about 20% of patients this is not the case. Chronic whiplash pain is often seen in older patients and those who had a history of neck pain or headaches before the whiplash injury. In addition, patients who experienced a rotation of the head in their whiplash incident are more likely to encounter chronic pain.
For years the treatment of whiplash injuries has included the use of a neck collar along with bed rest and immobilization of the neck. However, studies have shown that the collar may, in fact, prolong symptoms or even encourage the condition to become chronic. It is believed that keeping the area immobilized prevents blood from flowing there and hinders the body's natural healing process.
A regimen of physical therapy, exercise, medication and chiropractic is the most effective treatment plan available. Physical therapy can help alleviate associated pain and will reduce swelling and tenderness in the muscles. Exercise involves strengthening exercises. Range of motion exercises should be performed often and begin as soon as the condition allows. Range of motion exercises will encourage mobility and have been shown to allow for a more rapid recovery. These exercises should be performed several times an hour. Medications prescribed for whiplash injury treatments include pain medications and anti-inflammatories. Chiropractic is most effective when there has been movement of the spinal discs.
As with any immobilizing injury, patients may develop psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depression or anger about their condition. It is not uncommon for whiplash patients to receive psychological treatment in conjunction with their physical care.
Although whiplash injuries can be quite serious and have a powerful impact on one's well being, it is important to remember that in most cases the patient will experience a full recovery. Diligence in keeping doctor and therapy appointments, as well as persistent exercise, will insure a rapid recovery.
Dr. Chris Goetz was an offensive lineman with the San Diego Chargers and New York Jets from 1990-1992. Having seen the benefits of therapy as he recuperated from his NFL injuries, he decided to enroll in Chiropractic Medicine school and dedicate himself to bringing relief and wellness to others. He has been Owner/Director of Advance Health Services of Miami since 1999.

Forecast: Snow for eastern U.S.
Mid-Atlantic and New England to get heavy snow this winter
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. | August 15, 2012
I-95 cities could get hit pretty good
Paul Pastelok
After a 2011-2012 winter that saw little snow, the mid-Atlantic and southern New England states will get a snow dump this winter, forecasters say.
Above-normal snowfall during winter 2012-2013 is forecast for the major I-95 cities including New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, AccuWeather.com reported Wednesday.
"The I-95 cities could get hit pretty good," forecaster said. "It's a matter of getting the cold to phase in with the huge systems that we are going to see coming out of the southern branch of the jet stream this year."
The presence -- and strength -- of El Nino conditions in the Pacific Ocean are used to project how active the winter season will be, forecasters said.
El Nino warming of ocean water and the air above it causes weather patterns to change globally, and El Nino winters feature a strong southern branch of the jet stream across the United States, AccuWeather.com said.
When the strong southern jet stream phases with the northern branch of the jet stream, meteorologists said, big storms can hit the east coast.

Posted on February 26th by Mental Health Update:
All over the world large numbers of people are admitted to psychiatric hospitals. The laws governing this are controversial and in the U.K. are governed by the 2007 Mental Health Act. Most laws are based on the assumption that people who are compulsorily admitted to hospital do not recognise their need for care at the time so research has tended to concentrate on whether - looking back on things - people think it was a good idea that they received treatment. A team of researchers, led by Stefan Priebe [pictured] from Newham Centre for Mental Health, London led a study of 1,613 people in 11 different countries. They were interviewed within a week of admission and again after a month and three months. The number of people who were happy with the decision to involuntarily treat them varied a lot between the different countries and ranged from 71% in Italy to 39% in Lithuania after a month and from 46% in Sweden to 86% in Italy after three months. (The figures for England were 47% and 54% respectively.) Women, people living alone and people with schizophrenia were more likely to be unhappy with their admissions.

In the final episode of this exciting journey into the underwater world of the Nile Crocodile, the crew pushes the boundaries by testing the theory of a crocodiles eye sight (or lack there of). But these reptiles have not ruled Africa's waterways for hundred million years without knowing stuff! It doesn't change the fact that these are violent, dangerous beasts.
Watch the other episodes here:
Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 3
The divers come so close to the first croc that they manage to touch it. After closer inspection they realise that it is blind in the one eye. After a while it moved off. The second croc they spent time with also allowed them to come close, even to the point of touching it to make move. The footage captured in this episode is extraordinary, but what's most astonishing is the fact that the crew of divers is all still alive. Perhaps it;s the fact that the crocodiles can't seem very well, or the fact that it was winter in the Okavango Delta and the crocodiles are less active in the cold. Or that humans dressed in scuba gear are not part of the crocs menu…or it could just be that the team is very, very lucky!
This level of interaction between humans and crocodiles was life changing for the team involved. But be sure to not underestimate the superiority of this apex predator! The Nile crocodile is fascinating and scary, majestic and wild.

The Grace and Peace Winter Shelter
Offering Shelter, in Jesus' Name since 1986....
The Grace and Peace Winter Shelter has been offering temporary, overnight shelter during the colder months to homeless women of St. Louis since 1986. This season for sheltering is November 28, 2017 through March 20, 2017. We always welcome more volunteers for the shelter, overnight and evening! Respond on the contact form to sign up. Volunteer training is November 12!
The Winter Shelter operates in the basement of Grace and Peace's building in an urban area on the west side of the city. Many suburban churches send helping hands and meals each winter. Neighboring churches and agencies also partner with us! As a result, the shelter ministry extends well beyond the boundaries of the congregation of Grace and Peace. Many women who stay at Grace and Peace during the winter love the warm community there that they like to call home.
Many have also "graduated" to apartments of their own.
As always, in order to shelter ladies, feed them, keep them warm, give them basic necessities and show them Christ's love in the day-to-day, we will need to raise funds.
The Winter Shelter receives no government funding, relying instead on volunteer helpers and meal providers as well as on donations to cover staff stipends and other expenses. Here at Grace & Peace, we welcome gifts of any amount, from anyone who would like to give. To give to the Shelter, which is a ministry of the church, you can use this button, which uses PayPal.
You can now make a donation via PayPal if you wish without using this button. To do so, go to www.paypal.com, and select the Send Money and Personal tabs. Under the Personal tab, choose Gift. Designate the receiver as
, and the MEMO "Shelter". Or, you can send a check via U. S. Mail or using your bank's Bill Pay function. The address is 5574 Delmar Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63112. We are hoping to receive $40,000 in gifts by March 31, 2017 to meet all of the shelter's needs.
The Shelter is a ministry of Grace & Peace Fellowship, which is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation. This means that donations are tax-deductible for donors, according to current IRS policies. If you would like a donation receipt, please send us an email with your information and we will send you a receipt at year's end. Thank you for your support! God is always the provider—and we ask that if you can give, please do. You could provide $30 for ten bus tickets for our guests' safe transportation, $125 for one overnight Staff stipend, $500 for a month's once-weekly Staff pay, $1000 to cover the electric costs for 3+ months. Please do give and volunteer as you can!
And, above all, PLEASE pray for us, to be like the hands and feet and voices of Christ to the ladies and to one another.
As we reach our 32nd winter and I look back on my own years of Shelter involvement, I am so aware of so much of the grace of God that has been keeping us, bringing new people in new generations to care, as the first ones in 1986 passed on the vision and habits for beautiful hospitality. Amen to the great grace of God! Come and help. Come and walk with us and with the homeless ladies, and come and follow Christ's footsteps in this way!
"Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and the Lord, Jesus Christ." Philippians 1:2
Warmly in Christ,
Melody Burke Perkins, Winter Shelter Ministry Team Leader

Jackson Pollock was born in Wyoming, in the United States.Jackson Pollock's work wasn't created in the traditional ways with the traditional painter's tools. Instead of using a brush and an easel, Pollock placed his canvases on the floor and used sticks, dripping fluid, sand and knives to add paint. He used flinging, dripping, pouring and splattering techniques, using the movements of his whole body to control the flow of the paint.
Children will be given a list of Spellings every Monday which need to be learnt for the following Monday.
On Mondays the homework book is sent home. One week the work will be based on Literacy or Phonics and the following week the focus will be Maths.
From January the children will also take home a "KIRFs" (Key Instant Recall Facts) sheet each half term to be learnt.
Reading is also very important. We encourage children to read with an adult as often as possible. We will be sending home a new book on a weekly basis. Please sign the reading record when you read with your child/children.
We have a shared library with many interesting books. Children are encouraged to use it.
Physical Education takes place twice a week. It is very important that PE kits are kept in school at all times. Please mark each item clearly - that includes plimsolls as it can quite difficult for your child to find them when they are all changing at once.
School Trips
We have three school trips a year, one each term.
More information about what your child is learning in school can be found on the curriculum map

CHICAGO, Feb. 25, 2016 — <\/strong>JLL<\/a> (NYSE: JLL) is now better positioned to help retailers across the United States control costs and improve profitability with the acquisition of lease and debt restructuring firm Huntley, Mullaney, Spargo & Sullivan, Inc. (HMS). The transaction is consistent with JLL's growth strategy and will enable the firm, already a national leader in retail real estate services, to provide a broader range of services to retailers. While mostly focused on retail chains, HMS also provides restructuring services to companies that lease office or industrial space.<\/p>
Founded by Tom Mullaney, Dave Spargo and Bill Sullivan, Sacramento, California-based HMS is a recognized leader in lease and debt restructuring. JLL's new experts help retailers improve profitability and cash flow in response to shifting consumer buying habits, rising real estate costs and the growing trends of online shopping and same-day shipping. Since 1993, HMS has restructured more than $12 billion in lease and debt liabilities for nearly 400 clients while working constructively with the country's largest landlords, REITs, banks, key regional and local lenders, insurance companies and pension funds. <\/p>
"Retailers increasingly rely on experts to reinvigorate their real estate portfolios through restructuring," said Walter Wahlfeldt, Executive Vice President of JLL's Retail Corporate Services. "HMS creates value for retailers by reducing financial pressure on their portfolios and by helping profitable businesses improve returns on their assets.

Find the Best Products to Sell Online
Due to the popularity of online sales, more and more people are clamoring to open an Internet retail shop. One of the biggest hurdles in starting an online store is finding the right merchandise to sell. It's difficult to enter an online selling market that is already saturated with a particular type of merchandise. The trick is to find a unique product for which demand is high and supply is low.
Brainstorming is one part of finding the right niche, but it is certainly not the only step. Hoping that the perfect idea will magically pop into your brain is a pipe dream. The most effective way of finding your niche product is to rely on computers and data to study trends, current market supply, and consumer appetites. Here are a few tips from industry pros:
- The product should be durable and easy to ship – Selling online is different from selling in a brick-and-mortar store. Since you will be shipping purchases, avoid items that are prone to break.
- The product should not take up much physical space – Some online business models will require you to carry inventory of the products you sell. You should avoid bulky products and focus instead on small items that may convenient box sizes.
- The inherent value of the product should be ambiguous – Stay away from items like electronics that have a set value that most people are aware of. Instead, choose to sell items such as keepsakes that have a more nebulous value.
- The product should be timeless – Opt to sell products whose value will not deteriorate much with age. Electronics lose their value quickly because new iterations of the products come out almost every few months.
- Avoid seasonal goods – Seasonal items are great for a brief period, but few people buy them the rest of the year. Avoid items that have a time limit on their appeal.
- Sell goods in the $15 to $200 price range – This is the sweet spot for online products. Anything lower or higher runs into tougher competition based on volume or price points.
To expose yourself to more ideas for choosing the best products to sell online, consider attending PROSPER Show, an Amazon seller conference.

You never know what you'll find when you start digging in New York, or its older suburbs — recall the ship discovered under the World Trade Center. But developers made a much more unusual discovery last year when they uncovered an ancient Roman tombstone under a construction site in Tarrytown.
The burial stone of the Roman Emperor Claudius — Julius Caesars grandson and Nero's father — was found during excavation at the 100-acre development known as Greystone on Hudson.
So how pray tell did an artifact from 54 CE wind up in Tarrytown? Just ask the Gilded Age residents of the prestigious suburb.
The area surrounding Greystone on the Hudson — which LLNYC recently toured — was once home to yesteryears elite, including the Rockefellers, Astors, and Morgans. The burial stone was purchased from the Villa Borghese in Rome in 1893 by John D Rockefeller's business partner for his home known as Greystone Castle.
When the castle burned, all records of the antiquity were lost, so its discover came as quite a surprise.
Want to see it for yourself? No problem. It is now on display at the Met.

Leon Trotsky Quotes About RealityQuotes about: Reality
Art Bureaucracy Character Communism Consciousness Country Dictatorship Economy Evil Fascism Fighting Giving Inspirational Labor Life Is Beautiful Lying Oppression Parties Philosophy Politics Reality Revolution Socialism Soviet Union Strategy Struggle Victory Violence War
As a general rule, man strives to avoid labor. Love for work is not at all an inborn characteristic: it is created by economic pressure and social education. One may even say that man is a fairly lazy animal. It is on this quality, in reality, that is founded to a considerable extent all human progress; because if man did not strive to expend his energy economically, did not seek to receive the largest possible quantity of products in return for a small quantity of energy, there would have been no technical development or social culture.

Church Road, Leigh, RH2 8NJ Find on map
Number of bells: 6
Tenor Weight: 7¼ cwt
Ground floor ring: No
District: Southern
Practice Night: Thursday
Ringing Times: Sunday Service: 9.30 - 10.00am. Practice: 7.30 - 9.00pm
Entry: Entrance is through the main church door and, turning immediately left, go up stairs to first floor gallery ring
Contact: Please send an email to the email@example.com Southern District Secretary
The church dates back to Saxon times, with part of the building remaining within the additions that have been made over the years. The aisles are 14th century and the Tower was added in the 15th. The ring of 8, dates from 1816, with a Leigh church dates back to the 13th century, but most of this building fell down and was re-built in the 16th century. It was extended by the Victorians and at the end of the 19th century the bells were re-cast, augmented to six and set in a new frame. In the early 60's this frame required further strengthening with the bells tuned and re-hung in 1982. Ringing before 1965 was from the ground floor, but is now unusual in being rung from a tiered gallery. The church has some exceptional glass in the Chancel and three damaged but interesting brasses. The setting is very much of a country Parish Church.

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Regional HQ
Located on a 4.34 acre site at Vauxhall Road, close to Millennium Point. By incorporating sustainable construction practices and the biodiversity roof the development achieved an 'Excellent' BREEAM rating.
The design brief required us to replicate brown field land; considered to provide valuable habitats for a variety of fauna and flora particularly the black redstart, a very rare robin-sized bird that has recently successfully bred in the West Midlands. The biodiversity surface was installed using mainly demolition waste found onsite, such as crushed brick and concrete, dusted with a sandy loam to create a substrate or growing medium. The roof was been designed with minimal management requirements, and no need for irrigation. A management and monitoring plan was prepared as part of the design work.

Everyone seems to be getting on the 3D printing bandwagon, probably because the creative possibilities are so enticing. For architects, however, the leap into product fabrication is small, because they're used to employing industrial 3D printers to create small-scale models and special parts. In Los Angeles, Jenny Wu spends her days as a partner at the Oyler Wu Collaborative architectural firm and a design faculty at SCI-Arc, but she has recently found inspiration to use her 3D printing skills to start a jewelry collection.
LACE is the result — a set of surreal necklaces, rings, and chokers that evoke alien life forms. Starting with the imaginative idea of making "wearable" architecture, Wu sketched out a few ideas and then drew them using digital modeling software. From there, she figured out the printing processes to realize her designs in nylon, rose gold, sterling silver, and wood, which all vary in production time. For example, to make a silver piece, Wu must first print with metal powder, solidify the object in a furnace, and then polish it to achieve a shiny finish. Wu isn't the only one getting in on 3D-printed fashion — below, we've shared a few promising developments where science and style have crossed over.

Finding The Most Beautiful Roses
When it comes to roses they are truly all beautiful in their own way, however if you are interested in finding the absolutely most beautiful roses, then you should know that there are several different factors that you are going to have to take into consideration here.
How You Can Find The Most Beautiful Roses Of All
If you want to find the most beautiful roses of all, then the first thing that you are going to want to do is consider the matter of uniqueness. After all, the most beautiful roses are considered to be those that are the most unique, and so that would include for instance, white and black roses.
White and black roses are the least common because they are the most unique, and so they are really looked upon as being incredibly beautiful roses. Especially when you create a combination of the two together, the colors are contrasting and the outcome is absolutely dramatic and gorgeous.
However, there are other types of roses that are considered as being extremely and particularly beautiful as well, such as wild roses, for instance. Wild roses are great because you can tell just by looking at them that they are different from the more traditional roses, and so it is the difference which makes them stand out so much.
As well, hybrid tea roses are considered as being strikingly beautiful, and these are the types of roses that are the most common and well-known; it is these that you typically see at the florists on Valentines Day and other holidays, for instance.
Basically, you really cannot be told what roses are the most beautiful, because in the end it is all up to you and your own personal decision and opinion. It also greatly depends on the particular situation that you are purchasing the roses for, and so you are thus going to want to take this into consideration as well.
Just make sure that you take your time when it comes to choosing roses, because you really want to make sure that you make the best decision, and in order to do this you are going to have to take all of the different necessary factors into consideration.
As long as you have patience and make sure that you are informed and knowledgeable on this matter, then you should have no problems and you should come out with some really great results overall.

Last week Brandweek had anarticle about Design Thinking, and I'll have to say it was a bit misleading. I'm not going to nitpick the article, but I would like to address a few points that I think are valuable to understand about the topic.
I should start by saying that I am a proponent of Design Thinking, just as I am a proponent of Business Thinking, Legal Thinking, Engineering Thinking, and Political Thinking. All are approaches to solving problems that have evolved to ensure rigor and best practices in their respective professions. Where it gets interesting is when a problem in one discipline benefits from an approach used by another discipline. The current buzz about Design Thinking is an answer to the business world's need to innovate. The current processes used to guide businesses don't lend themselves well to doing something new that can't be measured by current benchmarks. Designers regularly create new solutions that have no benchmarks, so taking a page from the way they work should be helpful to achieve these goals. And it is.
What gets misleading is when the distinction is blurred between an approach that is used in a discipline, and the work, skills, and deliverables expected of professionals in that discipline. If a business person uses design thinking to develop an innovative business model, the outcome is still a business model and the profession is still that of a business person. It does not mean they should be called designers, as they do not possess the skills required of a design professional. If a designer uses business thinking to make their designs more relevant to the business, they are still designers. The article references people with design backgrounds who are now in marketing roles. That would be called a career change.
Finally, it is misleading to narrowly associate tools with disciplines. The article associates ethnography with the way designers learn about consumers, and suggests that focus groups are more for business goals. This is just not true. Ethnography is a research tool, and is used when a deep understanding of consumer values is necessary to solve a problem. This could be a business problem, a design problem, or a pure science problem. If we are truly employing design thinking methodology, we are less worried about what tools we are using, and are instead doing whatever is necessary to achieve our goals.
I don't know who first coined the term Design Thinking (I've heard it was either Tim Brown of IDEO or Roger Martin of the Rotman School of Business), but Roger Martin's article is still the best I've seen in terms of defining the value of design thinking to a business. His article on Reliability and Validity is well worth the read. Reliability vs Validity.doc (42.00 kb)
Nov. 13 - Update today from Jess to clarify the attribution of who first coined the term Design Thinking:
As far as origins, Peter Rowe wrote a book called "Design Thinking" that came out in 1987. Not sure about earlier usage, but I'm skeptical of either Brown or Martin being the originator. Here's the Google Book result for Rowe's "Design Thinking"

HKD Transition present the acclaimed film 'Tomorrow'
With the much appreciated assistance of Ditchling Film Society, HKD Transition are pleased to present the film 'Demain' ('Tomorrow') in Ditchling Village Hall at 7.30pm on Friday 17th November.
'Tomorrow' has been a phenomenon in France and Belgium. Already viewed by over 1.5 million people in France alone, and winner of Best Documentary at the Cesar Awards (theFrench Oscars), it has been hugely impactful. Produced by activist and writer Cyril Dion and actress/director Melanie Laurent, it tells the story of their search for solutions to the crisis humanity faces.
It is a wonderfully positive, affirming and inspirational film, exploring creative solutions in the fields of food, energy, transport, economics and education. It visits permaculture farms, urban agriculture projects, community-owned renewable projects, local currencies, creative schools and ambitious recycling projects.
It has been a huge boost to community led projects, and is currently on release in 29 other countries, regularly receiving standing ovations, and leading to the formation of many new community projects. It is the perfect antidote to the current sense of global despondency.
It also has a great soundtrack! Come and see the possibilities!
All are welcome - entry by donation at the door - along with refreshments, wine and cake!
There will be a short meeting (our AGM) prior to the film showing.
HKD Transition is a group of local residents working to support community responses to climate change and shrinking supplies of cheap energy, building resilience and happiness in the process. See our website for more details - www.hkdtranstion.org.uk

After trying different chiropractors and other doctors, I was lucky enough a friend convinced me to call Dr Shalabi. Getting me on the table for my first adjustment was no problem because Dr Shalabi's cool adjustment table raises up where I could...

Almond milk, e-cigarettes and avocados enjoyed the biggest surge in demand among UK shoppers last year, as a trend toward healthy eating gathered pace, according to one research firm.
Figures from data provider IRI, which specialises in helping retailers to understand consumer demand, £62m was spent on almond milk in 2016, a 32 per cent increase on the previous year.
Sales of e-cigarettes rose by 30.1 per cent to £81m and sales of avocado added 28.3 per cent to a whopping £187m.
Fortified water, coconut water, peanut butter, smoothies and popcorn also experienced a surge in demand, which IRI attributed to a widespread ambition to lead a healthier life.
"2016 was the year of so-called 'clean eating' led by a group of lifestyle gurus, food bloggers and Instagrammers who are highly influential among consumers, particularly younger shoppers," Martin Wood, head of strategic insight for the retail sector at IRI said.
