Integrates Proven Methodology, IP, and Applicability Consulting to Address Design and Verification Challenges in Wireless and Consumer Markets
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - August 27, 2007) - Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS),
the leader in global electronic-design innovation, today announced the
industry's most comprehensive commercially available verification kit for
wireless and consumer system-on-chip (SoC) design, enabling engineers to
adopt advanced verification techniques with reduced risk and deployment
effort and meet time-to-market requirements. The Cadence® SoC Functional
Verification Kit provides a proven end-to-end methodology that extends from
block-level verification to chip- and system- level advanced verification
and includes automated methodologies for implementation and management. The
kit provides complete example verification plans, transaction-level and
cycle-accurate models, design and verification IP, scripts and libraries --
all proven on a wireless segment representative design and delivered
through applicability consulting.
"The Cadence SoC Functional Verification Kit is just what is needed for
today's feature rich SOC designs," said Chang-Soo Kim, CTO at Kairos Logic
Co., Ltd. "In working with the kit, we can see the tremendous time savings
the kit provides with its pre-build verification environment, IP and
working examples. We believe the delivery mechanism using verification
experts is a fantastic way to ensure risk reduction through deep
comprehension of the Incisive Plan to Closure coverage driven methodology."
The new kit from Cadence addresses key challenges engineers face when
designing and verifying SoC designs: ensuring comprehensive verification of
the design, enabling re-use, managing low-power modes typical in today's
SoCs, ensuring hardware-dependent software coverage, and accomplishing the
verification within very stringent time-to-market timelines.
"Functional verification of SoC designs is one of the most difficult and
time-consuming challenges our semiconductor and systems partners face
today," said Graham Budd, executive vice president and general manager of
the Processor Division at ARM. "Through the kits initiative and ARM
collaboration, the Cadence SoC Functional Verification Kit directly
addresses these challenges and helps our mutual customers get their
products to market more efficiently."
The applicability consulting included with the kit provides complete and
interactive guidance for performing predictable and repeatable verification
of blocks, clusters, full chips, and SoCs, and enables design teams to
quickly and easily adopt the Cadence Incisive® Plan-to-Closure
The SoC Functional Verification Kit includes design and verification IP
from Cadence and third parties, including an accurate high-speed model of
the ARM968E-S™ processor, AMBA® PrimeCell IP® including interconnect
and peripherals, and the ARM® RealView® Development Suite debugger, USB
2.0 from ChipIdea, and 802.11 from WiPro. The kit includes three main
flows: architectural, RTL block to chip, and system-level. Users can
implement the entire kit as an integrated flow, or may select flows
individually. Also included are 13 workshop modules and over 40 hands-on
labs which engineers can use to incrementally improve their verification
"With today's wireless and consumer chip designs becoming increasingly
complex, design teams are under growing pressure to apply more effective
verification methods and technology," said Moshe Gavrielov, executive vice
president and general manager, Cadence Verification Division. "The SoC
Functional Verification Kit delivers a solution spanning the full
verification process to ease adoption of advanced verification capabilities
for design and verification teams."
The Cadence Incisive Plan-to-Closure Methodology will support the Open
Verification Methodology or OVM in Q4 this year. The OVM is based on
Cadence's Incisive Plan-to-Closure URM module and Mentor's Advanced
Verification Methodology module.
The new SoC Functional Verification Kit will be featured at the CDNLive!

Winifred "Winnie" Byanyima (born 13 January 1959 ) is a Ugandan-born aeronautical engineer, politician, and diplomat. She is the executive director of Oxfam International, to which she was appointed in May 2013.[1] Before that, she served as the director of the Gender Team in the Bureau for Development Policy at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) from 2006.[2]
She was born in Mbarara District in the Western Region of Uganda. Her parents are Boniface Byanyima, one-time national chairman of the Democratic Party in Uganda, and Gertrude Byanyima, a former schoolteacher who died in November 2008.[3] Winnie Byanyima attended Mount Saint Mary's College Namagunga in Mukono District. She went on to obtain a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering from the University of Manchester, becoming the first female Ugandan to become an aeronautical engineer. She later received a master's degree in mechanical engineering, specializing in energy conservation from Cranfield University.[4]
Professional career
Following the completion of her training as an aeronautical engineer, Byanyima worked as a flight engineer for Uganda Airlines. When Yoweri Museveni started the 1981–1986 Ugandan Bush War, Byanyima left her job and joined the armed rebellion. Museveni and Byanyima had been raised together at the Byanyima household as children, with the Byanyima family paying for all Museveni's education and scholastic needs.
Museveni, Byanyima, and her husband Kizza Besigye were combatants in the National Resistance Army (NRA) during that war. Though both Byanyima and her husband have since fallen out with the Ugandan president because of his repressive undemocratic rule despite his earlier stated convictions.[5]
After the NRA won that war, Byanyima served as Uganda's ambassador to France from 1989 until 1994. She then returned home and became an active participant in Ugandan politics. She served as a member of the Constituent Assembly that drafted the 1995 Ugandan Constitution. She then served two consecutive terms as a member of parliament, representing Mbarara Municipality from 1994 until 2004. She was then appointed director of the Directorate of Women, Gender and Development at the headquarters of the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She served in that capacity until she was appointed as director of the Gender Team in the Bureau for Development Policy at UNDP in November 2006.[6]
In January 2013, Byanyima was announced as the next executive director of Oxfam International,[7] replacing Jeremy Hobbs. Byanima began her five-year directorship at Oxfam on 1 May 2013.[8]
In January 2015, Byanyima co-chaired the World Economic Forum in Davos. She used the forum to press for action to narrow the gap between rich and poor. The charity's research claims that the share of the world's wealth owned by the richest 1 percent of the world population had increased to nearly 50 percent in 2014, whereas 99 percent shares the other half.[9][10][11] Oxfam's figures are strongly contested by several economists.[12]
Personal details
Byanyima is married to political opposition figure Kizza Besigye, the former chairman of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) political party in Uganda. They are the parents of one son named Anselm. Byanyima is a member of the FDC, although she has significantly reduced her participation in partisan Ugandan politics since she became a Ugandan diplomat in 2004.[13] She has five siblings: Edith, Anthony, Martha, Abraham, and Olivia.[14]

Two phone calls early this morning. One from a nice sounding Grandpa bringing his family on holiday to see if his deposit had arrived. It had, along with a very jolly postcard from Chantilly depicting the Chateau and the stables. Interesting to note that the stables are larger and grander by far than the Chateau itself. Shortly afterwards a Spanish lady phoned for the same week and was dismayed to find that it had now gone. "Did I have another house she could rent" ? It flitted through my mind briefly that if I had two houses on the scale of Le Chateau I would be dead rather than half dead with all the work involved but as her English was limited and my Spanish even more so I could not share this nugget of infomation with her.
Last night the sky resembled something from that scene in Independence Day heralding an extremely rough night for us. All 34 sets of shutters were battened down against the howling gale that ensued. When you consider that this performance is repeated on a twice daily basis it's easy to see where the time goes.
I wondered idly yesterday why no-one had taken a look at the wonderful website of Le Chateau. Consoling myself with the thought that for once, as inconceivable as it appeared to me, no-one actually wanted to either look at or book a holiday with me I busied myself with other matters. It wasn't until later when I tapped into http://www.chateaulasserre.com that I found the page was a very upsetting shade of white and totally blank.
A wave of horror swept over me. Supposing it had occured last week whilst I was busy enjoying the delights of Dorset ? Is it any wonder then that hidden at the back of the kitchen cupboard is a large packet of Cadburys Chocolate Digestives to deal with such moments of stress ?

HIV Testing – All That You Should Know About It
The symptoms of HIV can vary widely from one person to another; some people may not display any signs at all. Even if you may have been infected with HIV, many of the initial symptoms are extremely common and do not necessarily ring any alarm bells. If you think you may have exposed yourself to HIV you should still visit a medical practitioner, who will arrange for appropriate testing for confirmation, even if you do not have any of the symptoms of fever, body rash, swollen glands, sore throat, upset stomach, headache, muscle pain, or joint ache, etc.Even though getting an HIV test done is the only way to really know if you have become infected with the HIV virus, many people are nervous about what the result is going to be and hesitate to take the test. A simple HIV testing primer:
Quick and Simple Testing
Undertaking an HIV test is very quick and extremely easy. The procedure involves testing the blood or saliva and is the only way to know for sure whether you are infected or not. Invariably, the test is also free.
Knowing Makes It Easier
It is perfectly normal to be worried about whether you have HIV or not. Not going in for the test just prolongs the agony. Irrespective of whether the test result is positive or negative, it is always better to put your mind at ease with the knowledge and get along with your life, or if necessary, start the treatment.
Increases Your Chances of a Long and Healthy Life
If indeed the results show that you are HIV-positive, getting an early diagnosis mean that you can start the treatment earlier and improve the possibility of a longer and healthier life. This is simply because the early treatment will allow better protection of your immune system. Your early diagnosis not only means that you can access treatment earlier but also can take better care of your sexual partners. This is because once you know that you are HIV-positive, you can abstain or use condoms.
When Can the Testing Be Done?
HIV testing can be done at any point of time. If you think that you have been exposed to the risk of HIV by having unprotected sex, sharing needles for injecting drugs or due to transfusion of infected blood, talk to your doctor at the earliest to enable them assess the risk potential and advise testing. It is possible for modern HIV tests to detect the infection as early as 11 days from the time you were exposed. The window period though differs from one test to another. Depending upon the test and the degree of risk, further testing may be advised before the actual result can be confirmed.
Should You Test Even If You Do Not Think You Were At Risk?
It is a good practice for you to get yourself tested for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections once a year if you are sexually active. By doing this you can remain confident that you are not infected, and even if you test positive, you can start the treatment before any complications set in. Using an inexpensive Elisa kit, you can even do the test at home.
Should You Test When Pregnant?
If you are planning a pregnancy, it is very important that you get yourself checked for HIV and other STIs well before. In case, you are already pregnant then get the test administered as soon as possible so that you can begin treatment to prevent the transmission of the infection to the fetus, and allow you to enjoy a healthy pregnancy. The earlier you get yourself tested, the more increased is the possibility of the child being born without being HIV-positive.
If you guess that you have exposed yourself to HIV infection, it is best to put your fears at rest by undergoing testing as soon as possible. The quicker your diagnosis is, the lesser the anxiety about the unknown or the start of your treatment. You should definitely undergo testing before getting pregnant or undergoing any major surgical procedures. Even if there are no symptoms or perceived exposures, an annual test is recommended.

By Jonathan Allen
NEW YORK, March 25 (Reuters) - The Republican Party chairman asked U.S. President Barack Obama's administration on Wednesday to disclose when it first learned that Hillary Clinton's pledge to disclose all donors to her family's charities had been "repeatedly violated."
Clinton, the front-runner to become the 2016 Democratic nominee for president, signed on to the transparency agreement with Obama's incoming administration in late 2008 before becoming secretary of state.
Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee chairman, appealed to the White House after Clinton Foundation and Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) officials confirmed to Reuters last week that no complete list of donors had been published since early 2010, a year into Clinton's four-year tenure at the State Department.
Clinton's political opponents have taken her to task, ahead of next month's expected announcement of her candidacy, for allowing the charities to accept money from foreign governments. Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, also signed the transparency agreement in December 2008.
In a letter to the White House on Wednesday, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters, Priebus wrote the agreement "was billed to the public and Congress as a pledge toward transparency and the avoidance of conflicts of interest."
"The American people deserve to know whether it was nothing more than a memorandum between parties that had no real interest in either of those goals," Priebus wrote. The agreement, he added, "at times was blatantly ignored."
The letter cited reports by Reuters and the Washington Post that the Clinton Foundation and associated charities accepted foreign government money without first seeking a review by State Department lawyers, as promised in the agreement.
Senator David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican, raised concerns about Clinton's philanthropy work during her nomination hearing in January 2009.
"I have no way to judge motive," he said in a phone interview, "but after the enormous attention and discussion that went into this issue during Hillary's confirmation process, it amazes me that more effort wasn't put into living up to their commitments."
The Clinton Foundation, best known for reducing the cost of drugs for people with HIV in the developing world, has said collaboration with foreign governments is essential for its humanitarian work.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest declined to comment when asked about the Republican letter by reporters on Wednesday. The White House has declined to answer questions from Reuters about when it first learned the transparency agreement was breached.

A return to narrative Historiography. Based on pronouncements of historians such as Lawrence Stone, H.W. von der Dunk, Jarn Rusen, Paul Veyne, and Hayden White this article indicates that a return to the narrative form in historiography is happening. This can be seen as a reaction to the abstract and unreadable new kind of history which emerged from the Annales and social science history schools' structural approach of analytical and quantative methods which served the public with tables, statistics, and graphics. This kind of historical writing lead to a breach between the history-loving public and the professional historians. The narrative form is now regarded as fundamental to the organization, transformation and communication of historical experience, and once more puts man back in the centre of a story.
Feite of fiksie : Freudiaanse fantasie en 'n feministiese beeld van Susanna SmitAuthor K.W. Hugo, M. & De PauwSource: Historia 36, pp 8 –13 (1991)More Less
Facts or fiction -Freudian fantasy and a feminist view of Susanna Smit. In his article Die Voortrekkervrou as dwarstrekker -'n feministiese lesing (The contrariness of the Voortrekker woman -a feminist perspective) T. Gouws depicts the Voortrekker woman as dominated and oppressed. To support this argument, he employs a Freudian interpretation of the dreams which Susanna Smit recorded in her diary. Irrespective of the dubious validity of psychoanalysis as a method of historical inquiry, Gouws' whole argument displays a disregard for the task and methodology of historiography, which are grounded in the establishment of true and verifiable facts. His conclusions are not based on empirical research but have been deduced from a theory and the interpretation of so-called symbols, of which the validity cannot be determined. The following article demonstrates that Gouws had totally ignored both the spirit of the time as well as the cultural milieu of the 19th century Cape Colony in general and that of its eastern pioneer society in particular. He approaches his subject from a perspective unique to his own era, a method which is absolutely unacceptable to the historian. Thus Gouws fails to make any contribution to historiography and he has not added anything new to our understanding of Susanna Smit.
Die Voortrekkers en die ingeboekte slawe wat die Groot Trek meegemaak het, 1835- 1838Author C. VenterSource: Historia 36, pp 14 –29 (1991)More Less
The Voortrekkers and the indentured slaves which accompanied them during the Great Trek, 1835-1838. In 1833 the Imperial Government in London decided to abolish slavery throughout the Empire. As a result of that decision the slaves in the Cape Colony were freed on 1 December 1834, but were indentured for the next four years with their previous masters until they would finally be set free on 1 December 1838. After the decision to emancipate the slaves became known in the Cape Colony, the trekboers -who must be distinguished from the Voortrekkers -continued to take their indentured slaves with them when they crossed the northern boundary in times of drought to find temporary grazing for their stock. Thereupon the Colonial Government prohibited the removal of indentured slaves from the Colony. These prohibitions were still valid when the Voortrekkers left the Colony and took their indentured slaves with them. Only after the philanthropists and the British Government had realized the full implications of the Great Trek and the final date for the emancipation drew closer, they started having misgivings about the Voortrekkers freeing their indentured slaves before or on 1 December 1838. Therefore Fieldcornet Gideon Joubert of Colesberg was sent to the Transorangia and Natal to bring them back to the Colony. Gideon Joubert was a loyal supporter of the Colonial Government and a known opponent of the Great Trek. That was why his report on his mission carried much weight with the Colonial and Imperial Governments. This report showed that the Voortrekkers had no intention of keeping their indentured slaves in bondage �thus correcting the impression which existed in philanthropic and government circles about the Voortrekkers in this regard.
Sir George Russel Clerk and the abandonment of the Orange River Sovereignty, 1853- 54 : room for another viewAuthor D. WilliamsSource: Historia 36, pp 30 –42 (1991)More Less
This article seeks to re-evaluate Sir George Russell's Clerk's role in die abandonment of the Orange River Sovereignty in 1854. It draws on hitherto unused private papers which reveal, inter alia, that a serious leg injury offsets criticism of his attitude and work. The article also places Clerk in the wider context of his experience as an administrator in British India, especially among the Sikhs of the Punjab and the Cis-Sutlej States. This raises the distinct possibility that he was handpicked as Special Commissioner because he had held strong views which were suited to the South African situation. With a firm belief in the integrity and preservation of Indian societies, he was cynically critical of the prevailing attitudes, principles and practices of British administration. He denounced gratuitous extension of Empire, extolling the virtues of non-annexation, restoration of deposed rulers and non-intervention in the affairs of Indian states. These high principles came into play in South Africa (and were publicly recognized in later life). There are distinct similarities between his perception of Sikh and Boer societies, to the point of attributing ""nationalism"" to both. Even the final legal and constitutional settlement of 1854 reflects die pervasiveness of indirect rule with which Clerk was entirely familiar because of his service in India.
Die koegasmoorde van 1878 en die implikasies daarvan vir die KaapkolonieSource: Historia 36, pp 43 –55 (1991)More Less
The Koegas atrocities of 1878 and its implications for the Cape Colony. During the Second Northern Frontier War (1878-1879) burghers who were called up in service of the Colonial government shot and killed prisoners of war in cold blood on two occasions. Naturally these events caused a sensation and dismayed public as well as official circles. The Cape government therefore ordered an immediate investigation. After a long delay sufficient evidence was collected and the accused were brought to trial in the Circuit Court at Victoria West during September 1879. As public feelings in this area were strongly in favour of the accused, the responsible officials requested that the trial be moved to Cape Town. Attorney-General Thomas Upington refused, however, and as was expected all the accused, with the exception of the single Coloured, were found not guilty by the jury. This verdict had numerous repercussions. Newspapers such as The Cape Argus fiercely attacked the government and especially the Attorney-General, whereupon Upington sued the owner and editor of that newspaper for libel. Although the so-called Great Libel Case was found in favour of the complainant, the verdict was a moral victory for the accused and a defeat for Upington and the government. This court case in turn had several repercussions, while the situation as a whole badly damaged the image of the Cape Colony.
Nasionalisme en neutralisme en die uitbreek van die Tweede Wereldoorlog : 'n vergelyking van die faktore en omstandighede wat ontwikkelinge in die V.S.A., Suid- Afrika en Ierland bepaal hetAuthor P.H. KappSource: Historia 36, pp 56 –72 (1991)More Less
Nationalism and neutrality and the outbreak of the Second World War. The article presents an analysis of the circumstances and factors that played a determining role in shaping the policies of the United States of America, the Irish Free State and the Union of South Africa at the outbreak of the Second World War. The idea of neutrality was a lively issue in all three countries, although the governments reacted differently to it. In the case of South Africa a major political storm developed over the issue of neutrality leading to a government crisis which left its scars on South African political history for the next ten years. Congress dictated a policy of strict neutrality for the U.S.A. but President Franklin D. Roosevelt deliberately undermined this policy, and gradually drew America deeper into the War. The strange form of neutrality was aptly descriptionbed as unneutral neutrality. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour the United States took over a leading role in the Allied War effort. The Free State of Ireland remained neutral throughout the war although the government in Dublin took no measures to restrict trade with the Allied Powers or to curb the recruiting of soldiers in Ireland. The government deliberately turned a blind eye to these developments because of the economic benefits it entailed. The similarities and differences that evolved around the neutrality issue in these countries are outlined and compared. The important role of nationalism in all three is underlined, especially the strongly willed desire to demonstrate their independence and selfreliance. British power and domination was after all a dominant factor in the history and the contemporary politics of all three countries. There were, however, important differences in the practical manifestations of this nationalism. In South Africa it was mostly the Afrikaner who supported the policy of neutrality to demonstrate their newly won independence from Great Britain, the ertswhile conqueror of the Afrikaner republics. Irish nationalism was much more strongly developed and much more vivid than Afrikaner nationalism. The long history of struggle, resistance and antipathy left deep scars on Anglo-Irish relations. The unsatisfactory division of Ireland into two states made Irish nationalists determined to unite the Irish provinces in a single independent state. In the case of the United States the special relationship that developed with Britain since the First World War directed the energy of American nationalism in a different direction. It was more an expression of complacent isolationism than of a desire to leave Britain alone. While a dragged out constitutional wrangling between Congress and the President developed in America, the constitutional issue was of central importance in the case of South Africa and Ireland. South Africa's constitutional development was temporarily terminated with the enactment of the Status Act. This was not the case in Ireland where constitutional ties with Westminster were deliberately weakened during 1934-1937, culminating in the new unilateral constitution of 1937 which eliminated all references to the Crown. The opposition party in South Africa, the Purified National Party, was keen to stimulate a similar process in South Africa. They did not succeed to the same extent but the neutrality issue proved a very useful one. The main conclusion in the article is that if General J.C. Smuts showed more political finesse and followed the Roosevelt pattern of gradually involving South Africa in the war, the political history of South Africa for the next 5-10 years could have been different. The Irish example never presented a serious practical option for South Africa.
Afrikanernasionalisme en Engels : 'n kortstondige beleidsafwyking en die agtergrond daarvanAuthor J.C. SteynSource: Historia 36, pp 73 –88 (1991)More Less
Afrikaner nationalism and English: a brief policy deviation and its background. Afrikaner nationalism -of which the Nationalist Party was the most important exponent -has an impeccable record in one respect. During the reign of that party the language rights of the English-speaking population were never curtailed; neither was it the policy of the party as opposition party to do so. An exception occurred in the early 1940's. A few organisations such as the Ossewa-Brandwag were in favour of Afrikaans as first official language (and English as second language). In 1942 the Nationalist Party announced a draft constitution for a future republic. The language provision in the draft read that as Afrikaans was the language of the original white inhabitants of the country, it would be the first official language. English was regarded as a second or supplementary official language which would be treated on a basis of equality and would enjoy equal freedom, rights and privileges with the official language in all situations where such treatment was deemed by the state authority to be in the best interests of the state and its citizens. This article was criticized by the most important N.P. mouthpiece, Die Burger, as well as Die Volksblad and Die Oosterlig, because it would be tantamount to injustice to the English-speaking sector. Within a few months the proposed language provision was repudiated by the party leader, Dr. D.F. Malan, and Transvaal leader, Mr. J.G. Strijdom. The article sketches the pro-Republican activities of the period, the pronouncements about official languages and the political and language background against which these pronouncements should be evaluated.

text: Meeting up with her outdoors, she seems bashful at first, worried about getting caught showing off her private parts outdoors. But once back at home, she goes right to masturbating with a toy, has several orgasms, and attempts to squirt too, having two mini-squirting orgasms. She surprises us by moving many fingers inside, then fisting herself! Just like that, she then attempts to take the big ten toy, and a second vibrator together, double-penetrating herself. She seems to want to have sex with the photographer, and makes several aggressive moves to make him do it. So he gives her the FTV Monster toy, for her to ride and take as deep as possible! After that incredible experience, she puts on two different outfits, and proceeds to masturbate on the kitchen counter with anything she can find... from the Big Ten toy to a bottle to a banana which she quite amazingly takes the entire length inside her! After shopping for some veggies, in sexy red devil lingerie, she tries stuffing two zucchinis, then a really large gourd, and manages to partly get it in... along with the curved end. So more masturbation follows, on the comfy bed, as she has a few more sexy orgasms! Did we mention that gorgeous face and perfect smile?

The introduction to this new direction begins with a haunting vocalization followed by lyrics saying "Don't we all arrive at the same place where we began?" which is addressed further in the reversal of the backing vocals (taking you to the beginning of the vocals; clever, right?). The instruments slowly build with an echoing drum backed by said vocals layered with the instruments.
Following the scene set by the first song, the listener gains a sense of eerie unease from the slightly altered guitar melody and the addition of a quiet alarm followed by the drums building to an apex of heartbreak made danceable. The guitar is nearly lost in the consonance of lead singer Cory Lockwood's dismal melodic lyrics, "Like ice on passing comets we move coldly, soundless, through it all but in the wordless space between us there is something like a song/ Each note exists within the silence, our hearts were moving it along/ You sing the melody so perfect; I can only get it wrong."
The harmonizing continues into a seemingly chaotic environment that turns into a quick, bouncy, soulful and heavy rhythm. The lyrics reflect the loss of love between two longtime lovers—further into the song, the instruments accompanying the vocals begin a powerful pluperfect movement building up then coming apart with power chords (which are still thrash-inducing, just so you know).
The album ranges from pleasantly orchestral to heavy rock to funky and soulful. The backing vocals for Lockwood are provided by Matt Coate (vocals and bass guitar) and Michael Franzino (guitar, synth, piano, background vocals and auxiliary percussion) whose voices are a needed delicate, guiding effort necessary for the relief of the often found anguish of DIVISI. The occasional harsher vocals from Lockwood complement the bleakness found in the melody but—unlike his previous work—they are otherwise subdued, forgiving and tender.
The last song, though similar to the first, sounds defeated. The song builds up giving into the anxiety of existence and death with a quick, severe and urgent agency, "But I know/ We were made to be unmade, tied with strings designed to fray, I just want our knot together, it's holding now but not forever/ Someone or thing has got to pay/ It's given too much to take away/ I just want a legacy/ I just want it all to never fade/ Don't we all arrive at the same place where we began?" The last line of the song repeats for the remainder with a delicate abated drop to a single, soprano voice continuing the phrase.
This album is for the brokenhearted looking for some hope. It's meant to heal while maintaining an honest truth about the difficulties of moving past the terrible obstacles that life throws our way. DIVISI is a gorgeous project that is a notable move away from what A Lot Like Birds is known for—and just in time, in my book—the world seems bleak and graceless nowadays, but with this, I'm given some small hope of relief on the horizon.

GRANITE CITY, IL (KTVI) -The victim of an armed robbery in Granite City hopes no one will go through the terrifying experience he faced Friday afternoon. He was robbed at gunpoint while taking a customer on a test-drive.
The victim asked us not to reveal his identify, but said he's associated with Steinman Motors on Edwardsville Rd. He's hoping someone will recognize the suspect from surveillance photos and will call the Granite City Police Department at 618-877-6111.
"He said that he was going to buy a car for his daughter and he seemed like a really nice guy," said the victim.
After a second test-drive the customer suddenly turned threatening.
"He stuck a gun in my face and told me to get the "f" out of the car," said the victim.
"He said, 'I ought to blow your head off right now man.' I said, 'please don't, please I have kids. Don't do it.' He walked around the car pointing a gun at me," said the victim.
The victim said the suspect demanded the keys to the vehicle. The victim told the suspect the keys were still in the ignition.
"He just sat there, stared at me and put the gun on me and I was like please, please don't do it. He just sat there holding it like he was thinking about it and I was like, you don't have to. You have the car. You have my wallet just go, please go," said the victim. "He thought about it for a few seconds. He said get the "f" out of here. I turned around and ran and he took off in the car."
It's difficult for the victim to talk about what happened but he spoke with us for one reason.
"I don't want anybody to go through what I've been through," he said. "I want him to be caught and go to jail so we can be safe out here."
The vehicle was recovered not too far from the car dealership but as of Saturday afternoon, the suspect was still not in custody.

Wonder Bar, Asbury Park, NJ
Jerseys favorite boys returned home. Just like the Salmon to Capistrano, Dramarama made their annual pilgrimage to the Jersey Shore for their summer show at the Wonderbar.
It was a hot steamy summer night, and the bar was packed as the band hit the stage. The sound was studio quality and the crowd was on it's feet. Everyone here on this night got it - Dramarama is the real deal - Dramarama is a kick ass band and should be on every top band list everywhere.
Their 1985 classic - Cinema Verite is as good as any album released in the 1980s. Their follow ups such as Stuck in Wonderamaland were further evidence that they were the Real Deal. 5 star albums loaded with infectious hooks, catchy melodies and thoughtful intelligent angst ridden lyrics.
On this night the band is fantastic, Lead singer John Easdale with his signature black hat and can of tab is warm and charming and greets the crowd as if they are guests in his house. This is a band that truly enjoys what they are doing. They are having as much fun up on that stage as the crowd is watching them. These are childhood friends from Wayne NJ who enjoying playing together, and it shows.
The band played all the crowd favorites and they sounded as good as the first time I heard them in the 1980s. They are a stellar tight knit group of musicians and the songs sounded new and fresh. "Last Cigarette" and "Anything Anything" are anthems and you can see the joy it brings the crowd. Everyones face is lit up in euphoria as they dance and sing along. This is pure joy that only music can bring.
Dramarama - So good they should be famous.

Hi Guys,
My mate has an EZ Pickens backpack style dry blower vac. Hasn't been used in a long while. Its a wild looking piece of equipment, looks like a jet pack! I have been unable to find any information, manuals, value etc for it and wanted to put the feelers out overseas to see what i can find. Google only shows up some old private sales and its mentioned in a few threads...nothing in google 'images' either. I would like to clean it up, value it and see where to from there.
Any assistance much appreciated:)
By AzViper
I got into prospecting kinda hot and heavy. I like to build all my own equipment mainly cause I can at a much lower cost and have a better product than whats being sold commercially. I know this forum is mainly geared towards the prospector swinging a metal detector, if Steve does not mind I would like to post the how to build the Viper-Vac here in these forums. I also built this trommel and many other tools I use.

Hey everyone, just wanted to start a new topic on Drywashing for gold in Australia.
Here's a video of me and my mate Pete out on a quick overnighter' it's still dry enough here at the moment but finding time to get out before it starts raining might stop us from more footage this season.
Steve' feel free to move it to a more relevant section if needed, also if others want to add info video's etc to the same topic feel free just keep the topic on Australia.

Going to finally get a gold trip in last week of Oct, hopefully, i heard that area got some good rains recently,just wondering what you guys that have been near winnemucca think about bringing my drywasher ,is the ground still too damp. I heard they had 2 storms that dumped 1/2 of rain each one.
By Greg
Looking to maybe buy a dry washer. What does everyone like? Power blower, electric bellows, size, brand ext.. Is one brand better than another for fine gold recovery or do they all preform the same or close to the same.
I would be grateful for all information.
Thanks Greg,
By Rick Watkins
I have a goldbuddy stallion that I use in ore.nev. deserts wouldlike to know if anyone has this d.w.? If so do you have any suggestions that may help in recovery? I have learned a few things that work for me but looking for more ideas that may help.

To say that James Turrell is having a big retrospective is an understatement. This summer, three of the nation's top museums are collaborating to give the revered, 70-year-old master of monumental installation art, a cross-country, career-capping moment. The three separate shows kick off May 26 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and continue at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston (June 9) and the Guggenheim Museum in New York (June 21).

Type your paragraph here.
The airline industry has an enviable record of continuously improving flight safety by industry-wide sharing of accident and potential accident information. However, the same is not the case in the Data Center industry where it is common practice to cover up failures or potential disasters in a misguided attempt to protect reputations. Root cause investigation findings are normally secret and bound by NDA which has resulted in The Data Center industry being at a disadvantage in learning from failures.
Data Centres now support every aspect of the digital economy and, as we become more reliant on them, it's only a matter of time before a Data Center failure will be associated with human fatalities.
We need to act now - there's no reason why this archaic secrecy should prevail.
Working with globally recognised industry leaders - DCIRN is a forum for the exchange of information between Data Center operators around the world to encourage the confidential sharing of information about Data Center failures so lessons can be learnt and failure rates reduced as has been the case within other critical industries such as Airline and Nuclear.
DCIRN – Data Center Incident Reporting - put simply - an independent confidential reporting programme of data center failures and significant incidents globally. DCIRN will improve the reliability of data centers by collating and analysing information to be available / shared within the industry.

As a part of the AIPLA's commitment to facilitate the informed use of various alternative dispute resolution procedures to more efficiently resolve intellectual property disputes, in 1995 AIPLA Board of Directors adopted an ADR policy statement. The Federal Litigation Committee and the ADR Committee are currently working on an ADR brochure to distribute to all members.
As another service to our members, the Board has also adopted the enclosed revised and updated "AIPLA ADR Neutral Registry" application form. This form will be used to create a listing of those AIPLA members who are willing to serve as neutrals (arbitrators, mediators, early neutral evaluators and the like), who have completed at least eight hours of training, and who have five years experience as an attorney. The form provides additional biographical information about the neutrals to allow more informed selection. You may, of course, submit an amended form or withdraw from the registry at any time.
Be sure your submissions are clear and legible since we will be copying and sending these papers to requesters. In addition, please note that unless you indicate otherwise, any voluntary feedback received about you will be made available upon request.
The registry is voluntary and the AIPLA does not endorse any particular neutral nor can it undertake to verify the credentials listed. There will be a fee of $50 for members listed on the registry to cover the cost of administration. Members who would like to be listed should submit their completed form to AIPLA Headquarters, along with a check or credit card payment in the amount of $50.00 to cover administration costs. Anyone interested in receiving training to qualify for the registry should contact ADR Committee Chair and Vice-Chair.
If you would like to be listed in AIPLA's ADR Neutral Registry, please download a copy of the application form. Completed applications must be accompanied by the $50 administrative processing fee.

I was blessed to get in on a group buy of kelly kettles, & get a great deal! So I decided to give it a try. I love my solar oven, but I still wouldn't mind an option for cloudy days. What appealed to me about these is they are simple, & almost anything can be used for fuel. I'd even heard that dried animal droppings can be used. (makes sense, buffalo chips were used for fires). I have a lot of rabbit droppings, so that would be nice to have that option if necessary.
Heat gloves post. These helped a lot. The needles worked great! We ended up using a pretty big pile of them, but did get the water to boil. And there are plenty of these around!
Next we tried rabbit droppings. We couldn't get them to light, so we tried adding some dryer lint as starter (see free fire starter post). The dryer lint lit right up, but didn't light the droppings. Then we tried with the needles, with same result. Our conclusion was that even though these were old droppings, they simply weren't dry enough to light. This summer I will experiment with really drying some & try again. I'd love to know if I had that fuel source.
Then we tried our firestarter. This was given to us as a Christmas present. firestarter link (this is what we have, but I believe emergency essentials carries the same thing in different packaging). Soon there was a vortex of flame inside the kelly kettle. It boiled the water in about 6 min, without our adding any more fuel.
Overall, I'm quite happy with my kelly kettle! It supplements my solar oven for cloudy days. Almost no matter the weather I could boil water, have hot chocolate, or make oatmeal, pasta or rice. And I can use it to fry which I can't my solar oven. Even better, I have much better options for fuel. I have some small camp stoves that use propane or other things; but the question always is how much fuel to store. We don't know how long we might need them. And the fuel is pricey. I love how fast, simple & versatile this is. The stand also goes flat & can store inside, & there's a storage bag for the whole thing. For more info you can look at their website http://www.kellykettle.com/. Maybe you can even set up a group buy to get a good deal like we did! The next post will have more on the firestarter. I think the firestarter is IDEAL for this kettle, if you want the easiest time. But I love all the other options this gives me. I'll be sure & post as I experiment with the manure later!

Richard Zommer
Oriental travellers
before 1918
oil on cardboard
39 × 68 cm
location unknown
Zommer Richard (1866-1939), born in Munich, was known as а Russian painter, watercolorist and graphic artist. His artistic style is often considered to be a mix of Realism and Impressionism based on the subject matter and artistic technique. He created numerous pictorial and graphical works mainly having a genre-ethnographical character. Pictures with common and battle scenes as well as views of Turkestan's architecture, landscapes of ancient blocks in Tashkent, Bukhara, and Samarkand were very popular among his contemporaries.
From 1884 he studied at the St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts and had considerable success, receiving several awards for his work. His most prolific period relates to the last decade of the nineteenth century, which he spent in Asia, where he was sent in an archaeological expedition and worked as an ethnologist. During this period he produced a series of portraits, landscapes and works on paper.
At the beginning of the twentieth century he went to Georgia, where he led an active life, travelling extensively. He walked almost the entirety of the Caucasus Mountains and produced a number of works during this period that provide a fascinating insight into the Caucasus from an ethnographic point of view, as well as glimpses of everyday occurrences and situations.
During the 1930s, Georgian intellectuals and artists suffered under the Stalinist regime, and in 1939 he was forced to leave Georgia. After this period his exact whereabouts are unknown, this can in part be explained by the fact that all ethnic Germans were relocated to Siberia and Kazakhstan before World War II. What is clear is that he had a remarkable and dynamic life. Always on the move, he explored man and his character, creating pictures in his individual and unique way, and provided an important role in the history of twentieth century Georgian painting.

SHAUN Wane feels his Wigan players are better-prepared to face Brisbane after training with NRL champions Souths.
Hundreds of fans watched the two heavyweights lock horns in an opposed session at the Warriors' training base yesterday.
The Rabbitohs play St Helens for the World Club Challenge, the day after Wigan's DW clash against the Broncos.
Wane took many benefits from the session and enjoyed working alongside former boss Michael Maguire again.
"We've got a great relationship with Souths, and with Madge," said Wane, who was Maguire's assistant for two years before succeeding him.
"It's great to welcome him back here. We had a lot of great times together.
"We're very similar in a lot of ways – sometimes with a head coach and his assistant it's good cop, bad cop. With us, the players had two bad cops! I'm expecting a real, physical battle against a team who can play on Saturday night and it's good that Souths have been able to help us with our preparation, and us with theirs."
Wane confirmed captain Sean O'Loughlin will miss Saturday's game after undergoing surgery on a knee injury yesterday. He is expected to be sidelined for more than a month. "It is what it is, I'm not stressed about it," added Wane.
"John Bateman is playing well, and with Dan Sarginson back in the centres so we can put Joel Tomkins back in the second row, so we've got people who can do a job."
George Williams and Taulima Tautai are also back from injury with the latter saying he enjoyed yesterday's run out as he came up against some old foes and friends.
"It was good, very enjoyable," said Tautai.
"Souths are very professional and came with a good team. They have a couple of guys I used to hang around with – Isaac Luke being one of them – and I used to play alongside Joel Reddy.
"It was funny, I was talking to them afterwards and they were saying it was so cold, and I said, 'This is pretty warm for this time of year!'
"But it was a good session and I think we've both got something out of it."
Hundreds of Wigan fans went along to the open session at Orrell.
Michael Maguire, George Burgess and Greg Inglis were the star attractions, spending nearly an hour after the session had finished signing autographs and posing for pictures.
The World Club Series starts tomorrow when Warrington face St George Illawarra Dragons. The Wolves announced they had almost sold out their South Stand.
Wigan are also expecting a crowd of nearly 20,000 for Saturday night's encounter against Brisbane.
The two games are followed on the Sunday night by the World Club Challenge showdown between Souths and St Helens. Judging by the Rabbitohs shirts at Orrell yesterday, there'll be no shortage of support for Michael Maguire's men!

So the first 5:30AM safari was pretty uneventful. Saw lots of deer (which I could have seen in Prescott!), birds and monkeys. If there were tigers, they were somewhere else in this 15,000 acre preserve. So, after returning to the hotel we ran to the spa where we took a long steam bath to try and get warm and had a lovely massage in preparation for our sunset safari. At 5PM, we met our guide Agam and driver in the lobby and started off on our second safari. It was just as cold and we loaded up on even more blankets for our open-air adventure. Things were going as uneventfully as the morning safari until we rounded a corner where there were five other jeeps stopped and looking at a small heard of elephants and their babies. All was calm and peaceful until the biggest elephant began to stare at us. Then suddenly, she began to CHARGE our jeep and our driver started to back up quickly. This terrifying experience lasted about five very long minutes when just as suddenly the elephant stopped inches in front our jeep. Agam called it a "mock charge" which I think he made up to let us think this happens often. Well, I couldn't help thinking that before the trip I was worried about being eaten by a tiger and could have just as easily been charged and stomped to death by an elephant. Well, at least I have a great photo and an even better story!

Fieldworker Assistant in the Dominican Republic
Madres is a womens' jewelry collective in the DR, locally made goods are sold domestically and abroad. I assisted the director in sourcing materials, fostering community relationships, and program planning. I'm able to jump into an existing project and find a way to help. I am fiercely optimistic and will work to connect with others despite language and cultural barriers. I can work in resource constrained environments.
Class Tutor in Design Thinking
Coached 6th graders in design thinking and basic build projects (diaroma building, shop skills, etc), once a week, for a three month duration. I'm able to present in front of a class or group, maintain class structure, assist a variety of ability levels to achieve a common goal. I'm not afraid of chaos.
Media Designer for Health Events
I designed promotional media for Rafiki Coalition (Rafiki Coalition is a program in SF offering free health screenings, fitness classes, nutrition advice and more), and photographed their public health parties. Rafiki offers regularly scheduled "health parties"--part health screening day and part party. I now know how to connect and present to others the concepts of celebration and health.
Guest Presenter to Elementary Age Girls
Talked with elementary age girls at Girls Inc about being a female designer, as part of a series where the girls met various female professionals in STEM related fields. I'm happy to share whatever I learn with others.

River Partners' mission is to create wildlife habitat for the benefit of people and the environment.

River Partners Acquires 500-Acre Hidden Valley Ranch
Progress on Three Amigos: Moving Levee Breaching from Concept to Reality
The Value of Native Understory Species in Riparian Restoration Projects
Rancho Jamul Riparian Restoration: Wildfire Recover
2013 Mud Blasts links Fun, Fitness, and River Conservation in Colusa and Modesto
By Irv Schiffman
The work of riparian restoration alongside California rivers frequently necessitates the cooperation of local, state and federal agencies. Coordination is essential as plans are developed, funding is sought, and implementation is initiated. Sometimes developments move quickly, as in the purchase of the Hidden Valley Ranch, and sometimes things take a bit longer, as in the effort to breach the levees known as Three Amigos.
The disastrous Northern California flood of January 1997 caused forty-one cities to be declared emergency areas and damage to agriculture and livestock was placed in the billions of dollars. In the Central Valley the highest flows recorded since 1862 raced down the Tuolumne River from Don Pedro Reservoir, rushed into the San Joaquin River, overtopped the levees and wiped out farms along the River and breached the associated Federal levees at Reclamation Districts 2099, 2100 and 2102 (later known as the Three Amigos).
(Above) 1997 Levee breach that inundated over 500 acres of the Vierra Dairy.
Following the flood, the levees were partially repaired and a multi-agency task force was established to consider a long-term solution for flooding in the area. The task force recommended that the US Department of Agriculture partner with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to purchase the flooded farmlands in the three reclamation districts and use the opportunity to investigate non-structural flood management alternatives, including the breaching of the three levies.
The breaches would allow river floodwaters to spread over the former floodplain, optimize transient flood storage on the site, and relieve pressure on downstream levees and communities during times of high flows.
The farms were purchased in 1999 and added to the west unit of the San Joaquin River Wildlife Refuge in an area now referred to as the Hagemann, Lara, and Vierra properties, named after the three former farm owners. Perpetual conservation easements were placed on the properties under the USDA National Resources Conservation Service Floodplain Easement Program and the Wetland Reserve Program.
In June 2000 a Memorandum of Agreement was signed amongst the US Army Corps of Engineers, Fish and Wildlife and the State Reclamation Board (now Central Valley Flood Protection Board) in which all parties agreed to the non-structural alternative for the Three Amigos levees. Additional activity included the purchase of flood easements over adjacent lands by the Corps, and the Corps' agreement to amend the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the subject levees to allow their operation in a permanent breached condition. An environmental assessment for the project was subsequently completed by the Corps.
Two studies by Phillip Williams and Associates in 2001 and 2004 (now ESA PWA) produced a hydrodynamic model of water flows relative to levee breaches including several alternative configurations. Two years later, the 2006 Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan endorsed the breaching of the levees as did the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan of 2012.
Meanwhile, in 2002 River Partners began restoration work on the Refuge, planting 777 acres of riparian habitat. Since then some 2500 acres have been restored. Beyond flood protection, the breaching of the levees and the reconnection of the San Joaquin River with the west unit of the Refuge will also assume additional ecological functions: enhancing habitat management by fostering drainage to combat standing floodwaters and rejuvenating the floodplain by providing deep percolation of water every few years and pushing salts down in the soil profile. The flooding of the area would also provide access to rich foraging habitat for salmonids and other native fish.
In September 2013, a draft workplan prepared for River Partners for the breaching of the levees was completed by ESA PWA as part of the Ecosystem Restoration and Floodplain Attenuation Project (ERFA) underway at the Refuge. Funding for this plan is provided through a grant from the state Department of Water Resources Flood Corridor Program. The plan seeks to update the existing hydrodynamic model and preliminary structure design. Stakeholder meetings are presently underway with the participation of federal, state and local agencies and a final project report is due in May of 2014.
It has taken more than 15 years to reach this stage in the process of breaching the Three Amigos levees. While the flood control and ecological benefits of the nonstructural approach remains obvious to all, the technical and coordination complexities have challenged even the most avid proponents. Nonetheless, I hope to report the successful breaching of the levees in a not-too-distant Journal.
