Not a top-five list, and not meant to be definitive in any way, but here are five albums that hit Japan's record stores—and its charts—in the 1970s. Listen and enjoy!
Translating roughly as "Windy City Romance," weather is a theme that runs through several of the tracks on Happy End's folk rock classic, including "Kaze o atsumete" (Gather the Wind), which featured on the Lost in Translation soundtrack. The album was voted Japan's best ever in a 2002 Rolling Stone poll.
Happy End bassist Hosono Haruomi went on to become a member of electronic trio Yellow Magic Orchestra, performing on this key album of the late seventies alongside Sakamoto Ryūichi. Its pioneering synth sounds gained a global audience and the song "Behind the Mask" was covered by artists including Michael Jackson and Eric Clapton.
Released when she was just 19 years old, singer-songwriter Matsutōya Yumi's folky debut (recorded under her maiden name) means literally an airplane's "vapor trails"; it made her a star and set the stage for decades of success. The melancholy-tinged title track recently appeared in Miyazaki Hayao's Kaze tachinu (The Wind Rises).
Although it has seldom brought its performers genuine fame or wealth even in their home country, one of the most influential Japanese genres is "noise." Guitarist Takayanagi "Jojo" Masayuki started his career at 19, playing straight jazz and chanson in late-1950s Ginza coffee shops, but he soon began to experiment with the parameters of jazz and set the controls for the heart of the sun with his free jazz ensemble New Direction Unit. The ecstatic, atonal explosions of this 1975 live recording lay out much of the template for later eardrum vandals like Merzbow and Haino Keiji.
This was the prototypical "idol pop" group: Ran, Sue, and Miki, three seemingly ordinary girls who blazed a trail through the Japanese charts with a string of saccharine-sweet, yet often deceptively complex, pop masterpieces. The Candies released 14 albums in less than five years before walking away from the business at the peak of their popularity. This is the one that got the ball rolling, on the back of their near-perfect debut single "Anata ni Muchū" (often translated as "Crazy for You").

English Profile
Il Divo has conquered the world. In just two years since their debut album, the dramatic rise of the international operatic supergroup has been breathtaking in its speed and unparalleled in its success.
The fusion of four exceptional voices, bringing the passion and virtuosity of their classical training to the interpretation of romantic and popular songs, has brought a sense of opera into the mainstream and thrilled the world in the process.
They have achieved 26 # 1 chart positions internationally, sold over 13 million albums, and achieved some 104 gold and platinum awards around the world.
With Il Divo, their first album, which was released in October 2004, they smashed Led Zeppelin%u2019s 25-year record of being the only band to achieve a number 1 album without a commercial single release. It was even the highest charting debut album for a UK signed act ever in America.
Their second album, Ancora, went straight in at number 1 in the USA, sold a phenomenal 150,000 copies there in just one week, and confirmed them as one of the biggest acts in the world. In the UK, Ancora also went straight to number 1 and they finished the year on a high performing for Her Majesty the Queen at The Royal Variety Show.
This year their sell-out 86-date world tour where they played to over 500,000 fans, took in 69 cities across the UK, USA, Europe and Australia, and was followed by an invitation from the legendary Barbra Streisand to join her on her 20-date US tour throughout October and November.
They recorded the official anthem for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, performing in front of an International audience of 1 billion people at the opening ceremony and the Final of the World Cup.
For all four members it has been an incredible journey. With the release of their third album, Siempre, Il Divo are poised to take their meteoric success to another level.
David Miller (tenor, from the USA) says: "So much of what has happened has exceeded our hopes and expectations, and the future seems wide open. But we still have to keep ourselves grounded in the music, in passion for the music, and for performing.
"So we're very proud of the new album, and the vocals we've come up with. We're branching out a little, but it's still the Il Divo sound. We've done Nights In White Satin, and Bryan Adams' Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? But the whole album has a much more Latin feel, more up-tempo. It's more fun."
David, who has a Masters Degree in Opera Theatre, had sung leading roles internationally in opera for 10 years and on Broadway in Baz Luhrmann's La Boheme. "We four have become like brothers. We've shared so many amazing experiences - we went to NASA together, to the beach in Australia, shared private jets. It's all been new to all of us. We make light of it, almost a buffer against how excited we are. Because if we really let out how we feel all the time, we'd be like nerdy little boys!"
Sebastien Izambard (pop singer from France) says: "Our adventure has been amazing. Two years ago, I never thought I would travel so much, meet so many people of different cultures, or work so hard. I couldn't believe it when I heard we would be singing with Barbra Streisand, and it has been fabulous."
Sebastien, the only self-taught singer, is an accomplished songwriter who plays guitar and piano and has produced for many other French artists. "The new album is different from the other two, it's another side of Il Divo, a side we've never shown before. We use Cuban percussion and guitars, the melodies are very different. Il Divo starts swinging..!"
"When we found out, just before we went on stage on the first night of our world tour, that we were at number 1 in the USA, it was a fabulous moment. But we love performing in the UK. We feel like we were born here, and everything started from here. So we always feel like we're coming home."
Urs Bühler (tenor, from Switzerland) says: "I'm very happy about the third album. Except for Somewhere, which is in English, everything is in Spanish or Italian and it has more rhythm. I think it's very sexy actually! And the songs are wonderful. I really love Without You. The Mariah Carey version is great and the Nilsson original is wonderful, but I am really proud of our version."
Urs, who started singing with a hard rock band, had sung at the Salzburg Festival, based in Holland, singing with Netherlands Opera. "Life is very exciting, and never better than when we're on tour. I love the traveling. It has changed my views on the world, stretched my horizons.
"It was wonderful being on our UK Summer Nights Tour, I rented a motorbike to travel between venues. It was like having a motorbike holiday through England, and yet each night at the same time, I got to have one and a half hours of big, big fun on stage."
Carlos Marin (baritone, from Spain), says: "Now we know each other so well, we only need to watch each other's eyes, and we know what the other guy is thinking, and how he will sing the part. It's an amazing closeness.
"We needed this when we first started to sing with Barbra Streisand, an unbelievable honour. Of course we were nervous, but when she arrived, we couldn't believe that she was this sweet woman who was asking our opinion. She has a beautiful, amazing voice, but she likes to improvise, so at first rehearsal it was a little difficult. But it soon came together, and the mix of our voices is very special."
Carlos, a star of the opera scene was based in Madrid and was renowned for his work in many operas such as La Traviata and La Boheme. "In my opinion, this album is the best of the three. The original songs are better, the vocal arrangements are more precise, more elaborate. And of course, it's still always romantic. How could it not be?
"We just want to grow and grow. We do our best, try every single day to improve ourselves. Even my English is improving! Now when I go back to Spain, I sometimes find I am thinking in English, and English words come out with the Spanish."
David has the final word: "We are built for singing, that's what we're here for, to let our voices out, and let the music ring. Now we're going to the next step."

Navigating God's call to more – preparing to let go
Our Heavenly Father desires nothing more for His children than for them to become fruitful citizens of His kingdom. Our contribution is ultimately for His glory; for His name's sake. However, He loves us with a father's love; a love that desires the best for His children.
When God calls us to more, it is important to consider how we think about this call. Is it a burden to us, or a privilege? An obligation, or an opportunity? Are we dreading the journey, or looking forward to the adventure?
On April 18, 2009, my wife and I helplessly watched as firefighters did all they could to save the house we had lived in for most of our marriage—the home where we had raised our children. The fire, smoke and water destroyed practically everything. It could have been the beginnings of a burdensome tragedy.
As we stood watching this tragedy-in-progress, God whispered three things to our hearts,
"I am sovereign. Nothing happens outside of my will."
"I am a good God, I love you, and I have a plan for you."
"Reckon these things to be true."
And so began God's call to more. As we settled into our first temporary quarters (the Holiday Inn Express), we turned to our Heavenly Father. Beth began, "Father God, whatever you have for us in this, we receive it."
Praise God for His encouragement, in the prayers of a godly wife!
This was the surrender our Father was looking for, and it opened the storehouse of Heaven. With one word (our "whatever"), we had entered into the purpose of Almighty God. Our tragedy immediately became an adventure.
The way we think about God's call will have an immediate and lasting effect on the outcome. His call to more includes an invitation to the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2). The world has taught us that the mind of man is capable of all things. God suggests that we be suspicious of our minds; that they are quite worldly. We must learn to set our minds on things above; including the way He thinks.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see ifthere is anywicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24
This passage is a good place to start. Consider the questions listed above.
God also encouraged my wife and me to purposefully grieve our loss. At the time, we did not understand the importance of this step; but by His grace we obeyed. It was a decisive act. I will explain why in my next installment.

Long-lost siblings reunited after decades were living just four miles apart!October 6th, 2008 - 6:27 pm ICT by ANI
London, Oct 6 (ANI): A British brother sister, separated in their 20s, reunited after 60 years only to find that they were living just blocks away.
George Culwick, 87, revealed that he got separated from his sister Lucy Heenan, 88, when he began travelling all over the country with his engineering firm in his 20s.
It was only three months ago that he decided to attend a family ancestry meeting and discovered through another relative that Heenan, whom he thought was dead, had been living in Langley, Birmingham a few minutes away from the home in Quinton in which he had lived for decades.
"I thought Lucy was dead because I hadn"t seen or heard of her for so long, so this has all come as a real shock," the Telegraph quoted Culwick, as saying.
"Meeting her again after all these years was very emotional, we didn"t do much talking to start with. It is a bit sad that we"ve missed out on 60 years together, but we"re having to make up for lost time now, he added.
Culwick, who has been living in the care home since two years stated that its ironical that although they had been living just miles away, they met after decades, but they are making up for it by meeting each others families.
"I"d had no way of getting in touch with Lucy before this because I didn"t know where she was. It is strange that we were living so close to each other and yet we had no idea, Culwick said.
Since we were reunited, we have met each other''s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. My family like having a new auntie, especially as she makes such a fuss of them, he added. (ANI)

Summer job: Tennis coach at Toronto Tennis Academy
Lesson Learned: Do a job you love and you'll never "work"
I was lucky enough to have an amazing summer job throughout high school and university as a tennis coach. I coached individuals of all ages, anywhere between four to 84 and of all levels; beginners, high-performance players, students, CEO's, and even celebrities! I always looked forward to being on the court, helping others improve, and seeing them have fun. During a lesson, I would talk to the players and get to know them, learn what they did for a living, what they loved about it, and wondered if I could ever do what they do.
I realized early on that people love talking about themselves, and specifically love talking about things they're passionate about. I was always interested and eager to learn about people and listen to their stories. Near the end of my coaching career, I coached the director of a recruitment firm in Toronto who seemed to love the business and thought I'd enjoy recruiting. He thought I had great interpersonal skills and could see that I loved chatting with people, hearing their stories, and wanting to help them improve their skill sets. He ended up offering me a job as a recruiter so I jumped at the opportunity, and haven't looked back since! In retrospect, it's easy to see that recruiting was a natural transition from coaching.

Summer job: Summer student at a law office
Lesson learned: Be bold, push through even when you're scared
I spent four summers working as a summer student at a law office. I dealt with a lot of paperwork, filing, photocopying, binding briefs and also covered reception when needed. Another big part of my job was going to various places around town, usually unknown to me, to visit different banks, deliver documents to other law offices, and file documents at the courthouse.
Growing up, I had always been very shy, but this job really brought me out of my comfort zone. Not only did it teach me how to deal with confrontational situations, it also forced me to become more independent (a good thing). I learned to have the courage to push through even when I felt scared because I knew I had to do it; it was my job and I wanted to succeed. I can definitely say that I have grown a lot thanks to this experience. Whenever I think back to this job, I am reminded to have courage in situations that bring me out of my comfort zone because going out of your comfort zone can take you to amazing places!

Summer job: Custodian for the City of Burlington
Lesson learned: Things just need to get done
In high school, I landed a job as a custodian for the City of Burlington where I worked in several of the community centers. I spent the most time at Tansley Woods, which had two gyms, eight community rooms, a pool, and a library. I was responsible for everything from setting up for events, to cleaning bathrooms and managing the chemical balance of the pool. On top of all that, I was on my own 90 percent of the time. Most days I started at 4:30 am and would end around 6:00 pm.
The number one lesson I learned is that things just need to get done. We take for granted the fact that places we go are clean, and that things are set-up and safe for us to use. It was the perfect job for me because I grew up quick; it was a lot of responsibility, but more importantly, it was hard work. I finished high school in December, so I had an eight month gap between before I started university in September. I picked up as many shifts as I could in order to save money, but wasn't the most valuable thing I took from that job. Eight months of 60-80 hour weeks helped me grow my work capacity, so when I got to university, a few hours in class and a few hours in the library felt like vacation. I am thankful for those long days at the community center because I will always remember that things just need to get done.

Summer job: Waitress at Gulliver's
Lesson learnt: Connections are key
During my childhood and teenage years, I had a wide array of summer jobs. For example, I delivered milk with the milkman and helped the housekeepers and the cooks at the hotel my mum used to manage in London. I was also a special-needs babysitter, a line cook, a tiler, and I pulled up carpet and laid grout in California! From the age of 15, I held three jobs as a waitress, but the one where I learned the most was at a steakhouse in California called Gulliver's. It was located in Orange County, across the street from the airport, so we served guests from all over the country. We had all types of customers: daily regulars who sat at the bar and reminisced about their lives, businessmen stopping by for a day, and of course, families who celebrated their most cherished moments with us.
At Gulliver's, I was fortunate enough to have learned many lessons, but it was in this job that I learned one of the most important tools that I've used throughout my life: how to build a connection with people and grow a network. It was from my work there and the people that I met during those five years that I was able to get recommendation letters to university, get future job opportunities, fund my way through college, and even get a scholarship to move to Israel to continue my studies in University.

So now you've got the angles and measurements all sorted is that it?
Blimey no, this is a custom frame! All the little things that someone else normally deals with are now your responsibility.
Where the cable guides go is often a matter of personal preference – I like them running over the top of the top tube and on the top of the seat stays. It's direct and means that the cable doesn't have to be wound around the tube like it does if it's secured on the underside of the seat stays. It also leaves the underside of the top tube free so you can pick the bike up more comfortably and hang battery packs under it.
I'm even more fussy as I run the top tube gear guides either side of the central brake hose guides, this reduces the rubbing of the cables on the head tube with the price of a small crossover between the brake hose and the rear derailleur cable just before the seat tube. Gear cables are standard stops with the brake hose using those neat 'zip tie' guides.
XACD should be able to run them anyway you like though, so just ask and then check the drawing like a hawk to make sure everything's where it needs to be.
What's 5 degrees here and there? Just being extra picky I even specified a 5 degree tweak in the angle of the cable hanger on the seat tube so it lines up with the front mech better. Having thought about this now I might keep it straight next time (!) as the cable line isn't so good if you're using a 'top swing' front mech where the cable attaches to the right hand side of the bike. I've got a 'bottom swing' front mech on there currently but find it catches mud something terrible and the top swing design is more pleasingly minimal.
Gussets, or extra plates welded to tube junctions, are an area where opinion is divided. Some people think they need to be welded on leaving the ends free, others that they can actually risk making the joint weaker due to the extra welding involved and shouldn't be used at all! Titanium needs to be welded in an oxygen free environment to prevent contamination of the joint which causes weakness, the more welding you do the more it risks a join being weakened.
Having had a look at what other people do I think I can get away without putting any on. If you look at the Ragley/Lynskey Titanium frame they use very similar tubing specs to 'Love You Long Time' and they're happy to offer a big guarantee! It's probably safe to assume that they are on most frames as a 'cosmetic' enhancement to reassure people rather than being strictly necessary.
If you feel the need though XACD are quite happy to put gussets wherever you fancy, although there is a small charge ($15-$25) and it has to be said they're not the most attractive things you'll ever see!
Crud Catcher bosses under the down tube are another area where some people are happy to use them (Van Nicolas) and others say it weakens the tube in an area of critical stress (Ragley). I decided to go with the safest option and not put them on, although I did have them on Ti-Bride, it also saved a few quid and I wanted to keep the cost as low as possible.
Water bottle bosses are another option, On-One don't put bosses on the seat tube so the saddle can be lowered as much as possible. I'm not sure anyone lowers their saddle that much and I like the option of being able to carry bottles/light batteries as needed, so I specced both seat tube and down tube bosses with XACD taking care of exactly where they went.
You might have noticed some frames using a small tube between the seat stay and the chain stay to brace the rear disk mount (Cotic do this). Having looked at how Ti-Bride seemed to cope fine with just the simple 'mounting plate welded to the seat stay' I was happy to not bother. It's pretty unlikely I'll be using anything other than a 160mm rear disk rotor, if you go bigger you might want to think about beefing up the disk mount.
Dropouts are another area to be customised, if you look on the XACD website you can see there are a variety of models to chose from, most people though will be going for one of the three main types:
Regular flat plate dropouts are the cheapest but I'm not keen on the area you get for attaching the stays – I've seen pictures of the Lyndsky On-One's which have broken at this junction and there didn't seem to be much metal for the weld to hold on to!
That's why I prefer the hooded 'Breezer' style you can see here on Ti-Bride. The Breezer style gives a decent weld area and also means the stays don't have to be manipulated so much at the ends. There is a small surcharge on this design (about $35 I think).
The only problem is there isn't enough clearance between the quick release nut and the derailleur hanger to get the wheel out without unscrewing the quick release completely! You can get around this by using an 'X' type Shimano derailleur which has a much lower profile connection to the dropout.
The hanger here isn't replaceable as on some bikes but as they wanted $85 to fit the Breezer style dropout with a replaceable hanger I think I'll give it a miss!
The last type of hanger you'd be looking for would probably be a sliding or horizontal dropout for a singlespeed/Rohloff style bike. XACD offer a few of those including one's with the disk mount built in, I've not checked on the cost of those myself but be sure you'll be paying quite a bit extra (one thread I found said it was an extra $150 for Rohloff dropouts!). Have to say I'm a little nervous of those ones the result in the rear wheel being held on by four small bolts in shear but, hey, they could be fine…

Hayden Christensen is one of film's influential dramatist s, establishing himself among the next generation's leading men. His smaller blockbusters really made his career, but he has also worked successfully in major movies since then.. Get all the best Hayden Christensen pictures on the web right here at Celeb Photo Site.
He was "discovered" when his older sister Hejsa, a former trampoline champion, was shopping around for an agent after she landed a role in a Pringles commercial. While Christensen's critically acclaimed portrayal of a misunderstood teenager in Life as a House (2001) earned him Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations as well as the National Board of Review's award for Breakthrough Performance of the Year, the performance did not receive widespread public notice. in 2002, Christensen made his London theater debut co-starring with Jake Gyllenhaal and Anna Paquin in This Is Our Youth. He went on to receive good reviews for 2003's Shattered Glass, which tells the true story of journalist Stephen Glass, who was discovered fabricating stories as a writer for The New Republic. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone writes "Hayden Christensen is sensational as Glass, finding the wonder boy and the weasel in a disturbed kid flying high on a fame he hasn't earned." in 2005, Christensen made his Broadway debut when he appeared briefly in a 10-minute play. Director George Lucas had turned down such big names as Leonardo DiCaprio and Ryan Phillipe for the role, as well as 1,500 other candidates. Between 2006 and 2007, he replaced Jared Leto in Awake, with Jessica Alba, which tells the story of a man who remains awake but paralyzed during heart surgery, and in Factory Girl, opposite Sienna Miller and Guy Pearce.
Hayden Christensen (born April 19, 1981) is a Canadian actor. He appeared in Canadian television programs when he was young, then diversified into American television in the late 1990s. He gained international fame portraying the young Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Christensen was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada the son of Alie, a speechwriter for the heads of large companies, and David Christensen, a computer programmer and communications executive. Christensen's first acting role was on the television series Family Passions, which aired on Canadian television in September 1993, when he was 12. He acquired wider notice while starring in Fox Family Channel's television series Higher Ground in 2000, portraying a teen who was sexually molested by his stepmother, and then turned to drugs in his despair.
He was "discovered" when his older sister Hejsa, a former trampoline champion, was shopping around for an agent after he landed a role in a Pringles commercial. He eventually gained the weight back during the filming for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. He went on to receive good reviews for 2003's Shattered Glass, which tells the true story of journalist Stephen Glass, who was discovered fabricating stories as a writer for The New Republic. He was among the big name actors and actresses taking part in the fifth annual "24 Hour Plays" benefit, which raises cash for nonprofit groups in the Big Apple. Christensen, during the production of Revenge of the Sith, asked Lucas if a special Vader suit could be constructed to fit his own body, rather than have a different actor don one of the original sets of Vader armor worn by David Prowse.
Christensen has an older brother and sister, Tove and Hejsa, and a younger sister, Kaylen. He was "discovered" when his older sister Hejsa, a former trampoline champion, was shopping around for an agent after he landed a role in a Pringles commercial. The following year he acquired a minor role in John Carpenter's in the Mouth of Madness. For his part in the movie, Christensen lost 25 pounds through a special diet.

UPDATE: Chrysler bows to pressure from Feds and recalls 2.7 million Jeeps
(NBC) - After a public disagreement that threatened to blow up into a larger battle, Chrysler said Tuesday that it agreed to recall 2.7 million Jeep vehicles that a government safety watchdog said could potentially erupt into fire if rear-ended.
Chrysler had been expected to file papers Tuesday refusing to comply with a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's voluntary recall request sent earlier this month. That request covered Jeep Grand Cherokees in model years 1993 to 2004 and Libertys in model years 2002 to 2007.
RELATED LINK | Jeep owner registration site
NHTSA had warned after investigations that a crash from behind on these vehicles could puncture the fuel tank, located in the rear of the models, spill fuel and potentially cause a fire. NHTSA said the defect may have been responsible for up to 51 deaths.
Chrysler had disagreed with NHTSA's assessment.
"As a result of the agreement, Chrysler Group will conduct a voluntary campaign with respect to the vehicles in question that, in addition to a visual inspection of the vehicle will, if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle to better manage crash forces in low-speed impacts," Chrysler said in a statement.
NHTSA set events in motion earlier this month when it sent a letter to Chrysler recommending a safety recall of certain older Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Liberty models with gas tanks mounted behind their rear axles. The letter stated that, in an initial assessment, the vehicles have performance and design defects that could cause deadly fires in rear-end collisions.
Chrysler's response in a "White Paper on NHTSA's Recall Request" said the company has fully cooperated with government's review of the model-years in question. The paper states that it provided "technical information and detailed analyses showing these models are safe, and meet or exceed all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards."
The paper also said Chrysler disagreed with NHTSA's recall request. "The subject vehicles are not defective and their fuel systems do not pose an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety in rear-impact collisions," said Chrysler, which is owned by Italian automaker Fiat SpA.
Chrysler stuck to that line Tuesday, saying in a brief statement that the vehicles are not defective and are "among the safest in the peer group."
"Nonetheless, Chrysler Group recognizes that this matter has raised concerns for its customers and wants to take further steps, in coordination with NHTSA, to provide additional measures to supplement the safety of its vehicles," the statement said.
As recently as this morning, Chrysler officials were signaling that they would reject the recall request even if that meant squaring up against NHTSA in court. But a senior Chrysler source who asked not to be named acknowledged that the maker came to recognize it might be able to win that battle yet still could lose in the court of public opinion.
"The morning (news reports) were accurate but the decision wasn't finalized," said the Chrysler veteran, who was not officially authorized to discuss the recall, adding that the maker "absolutely" recognized that public sentiment seemed to be shifting against the company. "Even if all the data shows we're right…we're impacted by concerns about public opinion. This is an iconic brand and we have to consider this from a reputation standpoint."
Had the maker decided to rebuff NHTSA it could have limited the scope by citing the 10-year statute of limitations on recalls, noted Clarence Ditlow, director of the Center for Auto Safety, the consumer group that originally spurred NHTSA to investigate the Jeep gas tank issue three years ago. Such a move would effectively have reduced the number of vehicles the government could have continued pressing to recall.
NHTSA could have responded by ordering a series of public hearings. Ultimately, the case could have wound up in court.

The Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) has recently reported that members of both houses of Congress have introduced legislation that would protect the rights of United States residents to modify their motor vehicles for racing purposes. The Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2016 (RPA) would ensure that converting any motor vehicle (including street motorcycles) into a competition-only vehicle remains legal. This proposed legislation became necessary after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under the guise of maintaining emissions as outlined by the Clean Air Act, announced plans to regulate the conversion of street motorcycles and other motor vehicles into race vehicles.
This attempt is reminiscent of the EPA's efforts back in 2003 to regulate motorcycling through unrelated regulations aimed at heavy equipment, steam engines and diesel engines. That legislation would have prohibited owners from modifying anything on their motorcycles except for paint color and/or chrome. The MRF was successful in separating motorcycles from the EPA's regulations, and created exemptions to protect the custom and aftermarket industries, as well as motorcyclists who wished to take advantage of those industries.
In response to the recently introduced legislation, the EPA has announced that it would cease its attempts to use the Clean Air Act to regulate competition vehicles. The MRF asks all riders to contact their U.S. representative and senators and ask them to support H.R. 4715 and S. 2659, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2016. The passage of this legislation would send a clear message to the EPA that motorcyclists will continue to actively protect their rights.
As always, if you have any question or comments concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact me.

The better mom's control, the less problems for baby, the worse control, the bigger the pbs. ...Read more

Diet can often reverse the high sugars but you need to still check glucose levels. ...Read more

ICT in Education
Why do we need ICT in Education? Was education not happening before computers came into existence? The shift is necessary because this is the age of information and technology, an age that requires that teachers facilitate the gathering of this information and not merely teach.
Information and communication technologies (ICT) have become commonplace entities in all aspects of our life.
Teaching with technology is different from teaching in a typical classroom. Worldwide research has shown that ICT can lead to improved student learning and better teaching methods. A report made by the National Institute of Multimedia Education in Japan, proved that an increase in student exposure to educational ICT through curriculum integration has a significant and positive impact on student achievement, especially in terms of "Knowledge Comprehension", "Practical skill" and "Presentation skill" in subjects like mathematics and science.
With these points, we realize that the importance of ICT in education cannot be denied. Lastly, although the ICT cannot replace books or classroom education, it is one of the best substitutes for those who wish to gain deeper knowledge on every subject under the sun.Good luck!

Cost is always a consideration, however it is important to look at the whole package, not just the initial cost of the policy
For many travellers, organising travel insurance can be something of an afterthought. But finding a policy that suits you and your journey plans could be the most important travel decision you make. Sometimes that means really examining the specifics of the available policies, rather than just going with whichever is cheapest.
Use this simple guide from World First Travel Insurance to help you find the best policy when you're shopping around for your travel insurance.
Basic travel insurance policies will only provide standard cover, they might not cover adventurous sports and activities, riding on or driving a motorcycle of more than 120cc or watersports such as scuba diving. There will also be limitations on the level of cover for pre existing medical conditions, the duration of travel and age of traveller.
Each policy can have different exclusions but all, without exception, will reject any claim which is a result of use of illegal drugs and consumption of alcohol. All policies will have exclusions relating to pre-existing medical conditions unless you tell the insurance company about them and hazardous activities.
If you have any pre existing medical conditions, whether that's a history of heart disease, high blood pressure or cancer, right through to asthma and irritable bowel syndrome, you must tell your insurer. If you fall ill whilst away and require treatment you will not be covered if you have failed to declare a condition which is related.
You can often find cheap travel insurance on comparison sites, however the reason they are so cheap can sometimes be because the excess you would need to pay if something went wrong is very high. Some policies have a compulsory excess of more than £600, whereas others will be much lower, around the £50 mark. Policies with a lower excess are usually slightly more expensive. Always consider the level of the excess as although you may save money on the cost of the policy, you won't be making a saving in the long term.
The standard level of cover for a single item is £250. If you're taking your MP3 Player, a laptop, camera, mobile tablet device such as an iPad or any other high value items, check whether they will be covered by your travel insurance. Failure to do this could result in you being out of pocket if the item is lost, stolen or damaged. For the additional cost, usually no more than £15, you can have complete peace of mind that all your valuables and electronic equipment is covered.
During the past few years many travellers have had to endure disruption to their travel, from volcanic ash to industrial action. Make sure your travel insurance covers you for delay and disruption and that you know the limitations of this. For example, if you book a holiday after industrial action has been announced or after notification that there will disruption due to the weather, you will not be covered. However, if you book your holiday and your travel insurance before any such announcements, then you should be covered.
Not all insurers use the same criteria for generating travel insurance quotes. Some will require information about medical history for the past five years, others only the last two years.
Some insurers will enforce a high excess, whereas others will have lower excesses and slightly higher premiums. Although comparison sites will give a range of potential options based on basic information, you may not be able to find two policies offering exactly the same cover. Decide what is important to you and find an insurer who can give you the best policy – not necessarily the cheapest.
Make sure you know how to make a claim. Have your policy details and emergency assistance numbers with you and check the details in your policy to see who to phone and when to get in touch if something goes wrong. Not all insurers will have UK based call centres for emergency assistance, but they will normally all have native speakers who are able to assist by speaking to medical staff in the country you are visiting. Hopefully you won't need assistance, but make sure you know what to do, just in case.
There are many reasons why people may have to cancel or cut short a holiday. Find out what you will be covered for and ensure that you give your insurer as much information as possible to make sure you are covered. For example, if you have to cancel a holiday due to a relative being unwell due to a pre existing medical condition, make sure you declare this at the time of buying your policy, otherwise you won't be covered and will lose a large proportion, if not all of the cost of your holiday. The same goes for having to cut short your holiday. You don't expect to, but sometimes you have to.
Cost is always a consideration, however it is important to look at the whole package, not just the initial cost of the policy. When you look at exclusions, excesses and levels of cover, the cheapest option may not be the best option.
You can find some great deals on the comparison sites, insurance brands such as Travel Insurance 4 Medical covers a wide range of pre existing medical conditions for both single and annual multi trip policies. Alternatively you could go to a travel insurance specialist, such as World First Travel Insurance who can provide comprehensive cover for all types of holidays*
*Subject to screening and exclusions.

Community Offenders Contribute To Anzac Day Commemorations
For Immediate Release Friday 21 April 2017
Community Offenders Contribute To Anzac Day Commemorations
As Anzac Day approaches, teams of community-based offenders are helping tidy up memorial sites in readiness for commemorative services.
Under the guidance of Corrections' community work supervisors, community work parties have been busy in Awakino, Waverley, Sanson, Feilding, Ashhurst and Wairarapa this week.
George Henderson, Corrections' Acting Lower North Operations Director says Anzac Day is a good opportunity for offenders to give back to the community.
"Community work is a reparative sentence where offenders do unpaid work in their community. Anzac Day is a day when the local community comes together and we're happy to help them get their sites ready.
"It's also a good opportunity for the men and women on the work parties to learn more about the significance of the day."
In Awakino, offenders managed by New Plymouth Community Corrections have been painting and cleaning the inside of the Awakino Memorial Hall in preparation for the RSA service on Tuesday.
At Waverley Primary School, the war memorial has been water blasted and painted by offenders managed by Whanganui Community Corrections.
A Palmerston North community work party has made several visits to the Ashhurst Domain where they've completed grounds maintenance around the war memorial.
The cenotaph in the grounds of Sanson School has benefited from a spruce up by a Feilding community work party which has mowed the grass, trimmed trees and cleaned the windows of the school and office.
The work party has also given Feilding's Rangitikei Club car park a tidy up where people will gather on Tuesday. Work has involved water blasting, painting and a general clean up.
For the last 18 years, Wairarapa offenders have cleaned up soldiers' graves in Featherston, Greytown, Carterton, and Masterton cemeteries ahead of Anzac Day.
On the East Coast offenders managed by a community work sponsor, who is a former military employee, have cleaned up the gates at the Tolaga Bay War Memorial where the Anzac Day service will be held.
Mr Henderson says offenders managed by Porirua Community Corrections work alongside RSA members and volunteers to lay poppies at Whenua Tapu Cemetery.
"For the last eight or so years we've partnered with Porirua RSA to place poppies with a sprig of rosemary on the graves of fallen servicemen and women. A representative from the RSA tells the work party about the meaning of the poppy, and the importance of what they're doing. It's a meaningful activity that they can tell their families about with pride."
John*, who's been involved in the Ashhurst Domain tidy up said; "It's great to be doing something like this for our Anzacs".
Community work is completed in supervised work parties or through projects sponsored by eligible agencies. This gives the community unpaid labour on a wide variety of projects.
Offenders can be sentenced to do between 40 and 400 hours of community work.
More information about community work can be found at the Corrections website.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — AEBN and Girl Candy Films have released their controversial "Mother Superior Volume 2: The Possession" on DVD.
The all-girl erotic drama from writer/director Nica Noelle follows a group of nuns who succumb to the pleasures of the flesh — and even Mother Superior can't help herself.
Rebecca Bardoux plays Mother Superior alongside Young Sister Anna (Mia Gold), who suddenly abandons her vow of chastity and seeks sexual gratification from the other nuns in the convent. Mother Superior is determined to hide Anna's "demonic possession" until vigilant prayer can expel the evil spirit from the brunette. But concerned Sister Margaret (Sovereign Syre) fears for the younger woman's life, and mails a letter to a newspaper reporter (Siri) alerting her to Sister Anna's plight. As Siri investigates the mystery, she uncovers a history of scandal and realizes her own secret lesbian urges.
"The overwhelming fan response to the 'Mother Superior' series confirms that religious taboos are some of the biggest turn-ons for viewers," said Jerry Anders, Girl Candy general manager. "'Mother Superior 2' has been a big hit on VOD and we're excited for the film to take DVD customers on a ride from the heights of ecstasy into the depths of taboo."
"As a former Catholic schoolgirl, I often wondered about the secret lives of the severe-looking nuns at my school," Noelle said. "Now I can really let my imagination run wild, with some of the sexiest and most talented female performers in adult film to help bring my blasphemous fantasies to life."
"Mother Superior 2" is now available on DVD and streaming exclusively across the AEBN VOD network.

Financial Advice From Madison Street Capital
Madison Street Capital is one of the leading companies in the hedge fund industry. As reported on PR.com, this company has investigated and has submitted a report on the companies future expectations for the hedge fund industry. As a part of this submitted report, Madison Street Capital found that there was a total of 42 hedge fund deals that were reported to be closed in the year of 2015. In addition to this, the transaction number was also reported to be a total of 27 percent higher than what it was reported to be in 2014. After an increase in the number of reported transactions, there was a wave of momentum that continued from the last quarter in 2015 into the new quarter of 2016.
As the leading investment and banking firm on the global scale, Madison Street Capital reported that the number of reported transactions increased significantly from the 32 transactions that were reported in 2014.

In addition to this, institutional investors are also allocating investments to different industries for the purpose of increasing revenue. An increase in revenue is desired as the increase of risk liability becomes more prominent. As a result of the increasing risk liability, the smaller hedge funds are also having difficulties with attracting new capital and expanding the overall portfolio. http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=116516616
In 2016, the result includes higher operational costs which have been putting many small hedge fund businesses out of business. This has been motivating hedge funds that still remain in business to pursue other alternatives and to rethink strategy. As reported by Madison Street Capital, the overall investment opportunity in 2016 is stronger than ever. New buying mechanisms are being drafted and thought over to help benefit both the producer as well as the consumer.

Understanding Investment Banking
Investment banking differs markedly from retail banking. Bank branches where you deposit paychecks, checks and cash are part of the retail banking world. Retail banks also known as commercial banks loan money for mortgages and may also offers credit cards to consumers. Commercial banks also offer certificates of deposits, savings accounts and checking accounts. The main way that retail banks function is they take money from an individual or business and then loan a portion of that money to someone else in the form of loans or credit. The retail bank makes money off of interest charged to people who have taken loans or use credit.
Investment banks play a very different role in the economy. To start, most investment banks do not have branches that will accept deposits of cash or checks like commercial banks do. You won't find certificates of deposit or savings account at investment banks either. Investment banks instead invest money into stocks, commodities such as corn, oil, precious metals and cotton. They buy and sell stocks, bonds and commodities and try to make a profit off these items. Investment banks are actively involved in trading goods and financial derivatives. Commercial banks typically do not do this.
Another important job that investment banks do, is raising money for companies by determining the value of company stock, and then actually trying to sell the stocks on the markets. Investment banks often charge a fee for this service or they are paid on a commission basis for every share of stock sold. Helping companies acquire and merge with other firms is another job that investment banks do.
Investment banking can be a very lucrative field with big payoffs. Martin Lustgarten, the founder of investment banking firm Lustgarten Martin has a made fortune in the field of investment banking. Mr. Lustgarten approaches investments with a very cautious eye and compares the possibility of a payoff when the possibility of losing money before making an investment. This approach has minimized losses for Lustgarten Martin and has kept his firm profitable.
Investment banker Martin Lustgarten has a great deal of knowledge of the Central, South and North American markets. His insight has helped him spot profitable investments and avoid many pitfalls that abound in developing countries. Mr. Lustgarten resides with his family in Florida. His firm is also located in Florida, outside of Jacksonville.
Madison Street Capital's Extraordinary Leader Honored
NACVA developed a program which annually recognizes individuals who have accomplished triumphant endeavors in the world of business such as in M&A and business valuation. Known as its 40 Under Forty program, this prestigious acknowledgement chooses one recipient who has accomplished astonishing advances in business and respected by peers. These highly regarded individuals were selected by the executive staff representing CTI and NACVA, organizations which were founded on superiority and an essence of originality within the financial and accounting professionals.
Both CTI and NACVA had a difficult time choosing its 2015 recipient among all of the triumphant candidates. The nominees, who were comprised of more than 100, had all accomplished some amazing advances in various fields which include M&A. However for more than 13 years Madison Street Capital's own Anthony Marsala had managed to continuously study and perform many transactional and valuation activities in many industry sectors.
Graduating from Chicago's Loyola University, Marsala graduated with a focus on Finance and Information Systems. He also found time to enroll at the University of Oxford's Said Business School where he earned a Masters Diploma with an emphasis on Strategy. Marsala is a member of the international organization known as the American Society of Appraisers (ASA) and the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts (NACVA).

We are creating medical devices to help patients recover with dignity at home after major surgeries like mastectomies. Postop drains are a key part of surgical recovery, especially at home, and yet they've seen less improvement than an elbow brace in nearly 50 years! This is why we listened to surgeons, patients, caregivers, hospitalists and designed a solution that delivers sustained vacuum in a patient friendly manner. We believe there is more to postoperative recovery than just healing the tissue.
"In 2004, I remember being in the middle of a very busy season of graduations and celebrations in my household and wanting to be part of the festivities however I found myself sidelined by the maintenance of these difficult drains. I couldn't be happier to be part of what I believe will revolutionize the way women recover from breast cancer surgery."

Mother and Two Children Hurt in Turlock Multi-Vehicle Collision
Mother and Two Children Hurt in Turlock Multi-Vehicle Collision
I'm Ed Smith, a Turlock personal injury lawyer. A multi-vehicle collision on Wednesday, March 29, 2017, caused traumatic injuries to two children and sent their mother to the hospital. The intersection, along North Golden State Boulevard in Turlock where the auto accident occurred, was closed while investigators reconstructed the scene, and it was cleared later.
What Happened
A Newman woman, 27, driving a Volvo with two children in the backseat, was traveling east along Fulkerth Road at about noon and attempted a left turn onto North Golden State Boulevard when a man driving an Acura, coming west along East Hawkeye Avenue, slammed into the passenger side of her car. The force of the impact sent both cars into a Toyota pickup stopped at a red light on Hawkeye Avenue.
Eyewitness to the Accident
According to the driver of the pickup, who was stopped at the intersection, he witnessed the Acura strike the Volvo, which spun around several times and hit his Toyota truck. He was quoted as saying that both vehicles were moving fast at the time of the crash. He went on to report that he, along with several other individuals, opened the Volvo doors and attempted to remove the children from the vehicle, but he found the children in the backseat of the Volvo unresponsive, saying that they appeared asleep. It was reported by Turlock police that all individuals in the accident had been wearing seat belts and that the children were in car seats. The Turlock Fire Department was also on the scene of this multi-vehicle collision.
Persons Injured in the Crash
The children were air lifted from the accident scene by two separate Medi-Flight helicopters, reportedly with traumatic injuries, to a hospital. The driver of the car was transported by an American Medical Response ambulance to a hospital for medical treatment. The man who was driving the Acura received minor injuries and refused treatment at the scene, a spokesman for the Turlock Police Department reported. The driver of the Toyota, a 65-year-old resident of Turlock, was uninjured. No additional details about the accident or condition of those injured has been released as of the time of this report. This multi-vehicle collision is being investigated by the Turlock Major Accident Investigation Team.

Most physically active people have tried or at least thought about trying yoga at some point. Many athletes practise regularly and even have a preferred style of yoga: Iyengar or Anusara for example, and a favourite type of practice within that style.
Yoga is not just for bendy people. Most people who incorporate yoga practice into their lives are not flexible when they start: yoga is an excellent way not just to increase joint mobility and muscle pliability, but also to build strength, develop focus and body awareness, and release mental tension and stress. There are many styles and levels - something for everybody. Vancouver and Los Angeles are the yoga Meccas of the western world, so we are fortunate to have access to such a vibrant and diverse yoga community.
I obtained my 200 hour RYT and Hot Yoga accreditation through Y Yoga in Vancouver, and my Level One YogaFit certification in Toronto. I instruct at various studios in Vancouver including teaching Hot classes at Y Yoga, both downtown and Kitsilano. It's great to see so many people walking around carrying yoga mats, on their way to or from one of the dozens of yoga studios in any given area of town.
What's your yoga vibe? The smooth moderate tempo of a Flow class, the challenge of a strength-building Power class, the calm focus of Hatha, the restorative release of Yin, or the fiery detoxifying steadiness of Hot practice?
Let's talk asana and pranayama! Smith Training Systems can arrange for one-on-one instruction or provide referral to a convenient studio for group classes.
