Rain or Shine, Brunei celebrates
His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar 'Ali Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam attended the Brunei Darussalam's 33rd National Day at Taman Haji Sir Muda Omar 'Ali Saifuddien
Written by Rokiah Mahmud of Borneo Bulletin. An early morning heavy downpour that soaked the quiet streets of Bandar Seri Begawan failed to dampen the spirit of patriotism, love and loyalty towards the nation as thousands of citizens and residents flooded the capital to celebrate Brunei Darussalam's 33rd National Day on Thursday, 23rd February 2017.
Following the arrival of His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar 'Ali Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, the Taman Haji Sir Muda Omar 'Ali Saifuddien was awash with a multitude of colours as thousands, young and old, serving and retired as well as the differently abled, marched in unison across the field's stretch in a show of patriotism and loyalty.
Witnessed by His Majesty who was accompanied by His Royal Highness Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah, the Crown Prince and Senior Minister at the Prime Minister's Office; His Royal Highness Prince Mohamed Bolkiah; His Royal Highness Prince Haji Jefri Bolkiah; His Royal Highness Prince 'Abdul Malik; His Royal Highness Prince 'Abdul Wakeel; and Her Royal Highness Princess Ameerah Wardatul Bolkiah, the magnificent National Day parade and celebration saw more than a 23,000-strong team ranging from field performers, parade participants to students lining the way for the royal convoy.
Upon arrival at the Taman, His Majesty and members of the royal family were greeted by the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, Pehin Datu Lailaraja Major General (Rtd) Dato Paduka Seri Haji Awang Halbi bin Haji Mohd Yussof, in his capacity as the Chairman of the Executive Committee for the 33rd National Day celebrations, as well as other members of the committee.
The royal convoy was greeted by enthusiastic people in their thousands with the royal salute and singing of the national anthem.
His Majesty then consented to inspect the royal guard of honour mounted by personnel from the Royal Brunei Armed Forces and Royal Brunei Police Force.
With the theme 'Accomplishing the National Vision' (Menjayakan Wawasan Negara), yesterday's event had been weeks in the making with thousands of participants enduring heat and humidity during coordinated military-precision training to provide the nation with the best the people were able to muster to mark one of Brunei's most important historical events.
This year's theme aimed to instil three main features – loyalty to the Sultan and country, belief in the values of Islam and the harmony of social and traditional practices.
The theme states that each citizen, resident as well as all sectors involved in national development have a role in ensuring that the Brunei Vision 2035 is successfully realised.
The Brunei Vision 2035 of His Majesty envisages making the country known throughout the world as a nation with people who are educated, highly skilled and successful that is measured by the highest international standards, as well as creating a dynamic and sustainable economy.
Yesterday's celebration began with a parade led by flag bearers carrying a giant size national flag symbolising the nation's sovereignty and the people's spirit of independence and love and loyalty towards the nation.
Behind them were the 33 oath readers carrying national flags and the logo of the 33rd National Day; contingents of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces, Royal Brunei Police Force, differently abled, government ministries and departments, district representatives – all walked with full of confidence and pride reflecting their strong commitment in meeting the aspiration of the country.
A team of 100 students representing three different schools, namely Anggerek Desa Primary School, Haji Mohammad Jaafar Maun Primary School and St George's School and the National Service Programme (PKBN) contingent of 360 trainees of the 6th intake performed a chorus describing the role of the young generation in realising the Brunei Vision 2035.
The parade also saw teams from higher education institutions, colleges, government and private secondary and primary schools, non-governmental organisations, banks, foreign associations as well as a group of excellent achievers marching to celebrate the country's independence.
Educational institutions made up the largest single group in the parade with over 10,000 parading for them.
More than half of the march past participants comprised youth, showing their commitment in developing the nation's capabilities.
Amid the march past, the proclamation of oath, led by Muhammad Ihsan Sabri bin Haji Abdul Manap, Acting Assistant Brunei-Muara District Officer as well as the call of 'Allahu Akbar' three times, led by Pengiran Muhammad Ameer Mubaarak bin Pengiran Haji Hashim, Administrative Officer Grade One at the Ministry of Education, echoed in the capital.
The oath readers' team comprised 33 participants selected from various government and private sector institutions, higher education institutions, uniformed departments and associations. The team was also represented by two special needs participants who used sign language to deliver the oath.
The highlight of the 33rd National Day celebration was field performances showcased by some 7,133 participants that reflected solidarity among the people in upholding the commitment to realise the country's vision.
Before leaving the Taman, His Majesty consented to meet and greet the participants and appreciate them for their committed efforts to make the 33rd National Day celebration a big success, overcoming a hostile weather. Image courtesy by Haqimie.
Audi wins VDA Logistics Award for automated vehicle transport
A prize for a pioneering achievement: Audi has won the Logistics Award for 2017 from the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) in recognition of its FTS driverless vehicle transport system. The autonomously operating system has been in production operation at the Ingolstadt site since the beginning of the year. The parking robot named Ray sorts up to 2,000 cars per day for loading onto railway freight cars. This application is the only one of its kind to date in the automotive industry.
"Driverless transport systems are one of the key technologies of the Smart Factory," said Prof. Dr. Hubert Waltl, Board Member for Production and Logistics at AUDI AG. "With their flexible navigation we are improving efficiency in vehicle transport as well. FTS Ray is now in production operation at the Ingolstadt plant. We will be transferring the concept to other processes and sites." VDA President Matthias Wissmann emphasized: "Our industry thrives on innovative solutions like this. The digitalization and connection of production, and in fact of the entire value chain, is the biggest challenge for the industry. Concepts like that of the award-winner clearly demonstrate that the German automotive industry is on top here as well."
There are now twelve parking robots in use at Audi's main plant in Ingolstadt. They autonomously transport Audi models after production for railway loading. For this, one of the roughly six meter long and three meter wide robots uses laser sensors to determine the position and dimensions of a car and adjusts itself accordingly. Then the robot carefully lifts the car up to ten centimeters. A central, autonomous control system assigns a space to the robot where the robot can park it via the shortest route. Once a sufficient number of cars have accumulated for the same transport destination, a robot prepares them for loading on to the railway freight cars.
The driverless transport systems complete up to 8,000 movements per day this way, while covering about 500 kilometers (310.7 miles). They even change their own batteries: When the charge status is low, the robots promptly dock themselves onto the automated changing station and specially designed robots change out the batteries within a few minutes. The system operates reliably around the clock – on an open parking deck and at outdoor temperatures up to minus 20 degrees Celsius (minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit). It thus improves both efficiency and ergonomics for employees: They now have significantly shorter distances to walk and are exposed to fewer extreme weather conditions.
The Ray driverless transport system was created in partnership with Serva Transport Systems in Grabenstätt am Chiemsee. The parking robots are continuously being developed further – their weather resistance, for example. In the first quarter of 2017, a total of 18 parking robots are already sorting ready-to-transport cars in Audi railway loading within an area of 20,000 square meters (215,278.2 sq ft). Additional opportunities for their use in the Ingolstadt plant have already been identified.

Audi A3 Sedan
The new Audi A3 Sedan
Sedan redefined- the new Audi A3.
Audi launched the Audi A3 at the 1996 Paris Motor Show. The car was developed on the Golf IV platform, which followed in 1997. From the very first generation, the Audi A3 has boasted innovations and quality features from its bigger siblings, making it the founder of the premium compact class. The A3 initially was available exclusively as a three-door hatchback in three trim lines. Seventeen years later, the A3 Sedan was unveiled at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
In 2014, TCY Motors Sdn Bhd as the sole Audi dealer/importer successfully launched the A3 Sedan locally and it went on to become the top selling Audi for Brunei the following year.
To coincide with the recent 20th anniversary of the A3 model family, the new updated A3 Sedan is now available for Brunei.
Media on for a test drive.
You can check out the Audi A3 at their showroom
The success model from Audi has become even more attractive: the new A3 Sedan approaches the starting line with a new 1.2 TFSI engine as well as newly designed headlights and taillights.
Updates feature a more sharply contoured and wider Singleframe grill and new headlight design. Now with full LED headlights with dynamic turn signals and cornering lights complimented by new rear light design.
The interior of the sporty four-door features a light and clean design. The 425-liter (15.0 cu ft) cargo space can be expanded by folding down the rear seat backs. Equipped with the new 1.2 TFSI engine, the sedan has a curb weight of just 1,280 kg (2822 lb).
Audi Brunei will offer the updated A3 Sedan with a new powerful and highly efficient 1.2 TFSI engine with power output of 81 kW (109 hp) and 175 Nm. S tronic dual-clutch transmission will remain a standard for the model. Exclusive 17-inch wheels will compliment the package.

Audi factory driver clinched third
Audi factory driver Lucas di Grassi on clinching third place in Buenos Aires (Argentina) maintained his second place in the Formula E standings. His teammate Daniel Abt in race three of the fully electric racing series shone with a comeback drive from grid position 16 to seventh place
Lucas di Grassi already gave Team ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport reason to cheer in qualifying. For the first time, the Brazilian clinched the top spot on the grid in Formula E and, as a result, scored three extra points. In the race, with temperatures of nearly 30 degrees centigrade in the shade, things initially did not go as expected. Di Grassi was struggling with heavy oversteer and dropped to position five. Following the car change halfway through the race, the Brazilian was able to attack again and to claim third place on the podium.
Audi factory driver Loïc Duval in the team of Dragon Racing finished in position six. Daniel Abt, following contact with the wall in qualifying, had to settle for grid position 16. With a strong race and a good strategy of the team the young German went on to battle his way forward to position seven, securing important points for the teams' classification as a result.
Formula E will continue in Mexico City on April 1.
B&O Play M5
B&O PLAY today introduced a new member to its family of wireless speakers for the home that brings people a beautiful and simple way to live with music. Designed by award-winning Cecilie Manz as a standalone speaker with multiroom audio capability, B&O PLAY M5 gives people a seamless way to connect to music they love, disperses the highly-acclaimed Bang & Olufsen Signature Sound evenly in all directions, and is clad in a premium wool-blend fabric that adds beauty and warmth to any interior arrangement.
"B&O PLAY M5 delivers perfectly on our vision of speakers for the home that play beautiful music and look wonderful doing so. For people who dream of a home where music flows through every room and speakers double as design objects that are controlled from the comfort of your smartphone or tablet, B&O PLAY M5 marks the perfect beginning to that journey", says Jens Jermiin, Head of Global Marketing at B&O PLAY.
Sound that matches your interior
With its visually stunning appearance, the design of B&O PLAY M5 is inspired by the idea of using sound as part of your interior decoration. B&O PLAY M5 builds on the design language of B&O PLAY A6 and B&O PLAY A9, and drawing inspiration from this family B&O PLAY M5 is covered in a premium and acoustically transparent wool- blend fabric from Danish high-end manufacturer Kvadrat. The wool-cover can easily be replaced to fit your interior decorations, and using delicate multi-coloured threads the fabric provides acoustic transparency while maintaining the aesthetics in nuances that complements the speaker.
Dedication to superior craftsmanship
The speaker top is a disc made from crafted aluminium, which has been pearl blasted and anodized to create a matt and luxurious appearance. The disc provides a mesmerizing viscosity-based tactile functionality toned down to the essential, and with a 15 percent movement in each direction the disc will adjust the volume and calmly rotate itself to its neutral position – not too quickly and not too slowly as a testament to the beauty of functional design. Pressing the disc gently downwards will play or pause the speaker, and using the same gesture with an inactive B&O PLAY M5 will make it join other music experiences going on in your home.
"The design of B&O PLAY M5 is inspired by the way people use sound in their everyday lives – as a natural focal point for the family. The shape signals that sound is projected from all angles and visually, it can blend in or stand out in your home depending on personal preferences", says the award-winning Danish industrial designer Cecilie Manz.
B&O PLAY M5 now available at Bang & Olufsen store at Sejalin Living

• B&O PLAY M5 comes with True360 degree omnidirectional sound that lets you enjoy equally perfect sound no matter where you are placed. Three evenly distributed tweeters, a full range capable front facing midrange driver and a powerful 5" neodymium powered long stroke woofer that fires all its energy down towards a carefully designed dispenser, provide a uniform dispersion of well-balanced Bang & Olufsen Signature Sound all around.
• Three pre-set sound modes optimise the acoustic performance of the player depending on its position in the room. People can choose free standing, corner or wall position in Beoplay App.
• To optimize B&O PLAY M5 as a standalone speaker, B&O PLAY uses a proprietary Ambient Technology solution to create a true stereo sound experience from one single speaker. B&O PLAY creates this stereo like sound by psycho-acoustic knowhow and DSP capability to boost signal queues minimized by the physical size of B&O PLAY M5.
• The unique acoustic setup in B&O PLAY M5 is capable of beam direction and beam width control – a simpler version of the technology that Bang & Olufsen use in the prestigious BeoLab 90 speaker and the Bang & Olufsen patented reflected audio technology.
Connecting spaces with Chromecast built-in
B&O PLAY M5 comes with Chromecast built-in1, so the entire family can stream millions of songs from more than 100 music streaming services up to 96KHz/24bit lossless such as Spotify, Google Play Music and Pandora.

Click here to view an interactive map of the Northern Ireland dataset as currently collated by CEDaR.
The map is generated through the NBN Gateway using their Interactive Mapping Tool.
This species has been recorded from Counties Donegal (west), Londonderry and Down. Since it is similar to L. incana and L. lobificans (both described elsewhere), it is possible the species has been under-recorded in Ireland. The thallus tests K+ yellow, Pd+ orange. L. incana is Pd and L. lobificans more cottony than this species. It will colonise acid rock, and the bark of plantation conifers where it should be looked for.

La Mian (Hand Pulled Noodles)
Sunday, May 20, 2007
La mian is usually found in the Hui (Muslim) restaurants, which offer dishes quite different than the regular Chinese fare with its emphasis on pork. La mian is not technically street food, though many noodle makers are working practically on the sidewalk and can be found in most neighborhoods here in Chengdu.
The noodles are pulled into strands and thrown into a pot where they cook quickly, then are served in a beef broth and topped with a few slices of radish, sliced beef or lamb, and chopped scallions and cilantro on top with a slick of chili oil. The best places have broth with a rich beef flavour and a good jolt of garlic. If you've ordered a fried rice or noodle plate you will get a cup of the broth to drink.The noodles have a fantastic bite to them and go for three to five yuan for a bowl, about forty to seventy cents.

Empire Of Ash Iii
Empire Of Ash Iii
Empire Of Ash Iii is one of the most beautiful movie of year 1989. I do not know, since, everyone has their own taste that is so particular to a genre, that I do not know if you would like the music I listen too, but there is no way you will not like that high quality movie Empire Of Ash Iii! It is my favorite action movie because parts felt very similar to my life experience. I know it gets a lot of stick for being the mainstream popular film, but honestly I can not think of anything wrong with the movie online. Easily the movie with the best dialogue ever. There is not a single thing wrong with that film. It sets the 10/10 standard for every other film in existence for me. When a friend ask me, give me a great movie to watch for evening, I answer get you ass on couch and watch a high quality movie Empire Of Ash Iii !! I still remember the first time I watched Empire Of Ash Iii online. It was simply an amazing experience that I remember to this day. Easily the movie with the best dialogue ever. This website is really great for watching movies, you can watch new movies without downloading anything in best quality for free. And on top of that Lavamovies offers no viruses, no torrents, no downloads, only pure high quality free streaming service of online movies COMPLETELY, TOTALLY FREE! I haven't found this full movie anywhere else so I uploaded it here on lavamovies, and many other movies available on the homepage, everyone now can see this movie for free online. There was another site with this movie online - 123movies, but it got deleted. I offer this free movie with subtitles. Even netflix and hulu don't offer such great HQ movie available on all devices, iPad, iPhone, Android and Smart TV. For closing words, I just want to say that I announce the end of Internet users typing in Google "Where can I watch Empire Of Ash Iii online for free?" or "Where can I download Empire Of Ash Iii online for free?", because well. It's all here. I wish I could be born again to not know Empire Of Ash Iii so I could watch it like the first time again, fuuuuuuck :).

Battle-hardened Juventus show all-round nous at Monaco
Juventus' Gonzalo Higuain celebrates after the match against Monaco on May 3. Photograph: (Reuters)
Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain scored a goal in each half to give the Italian side a 2-0 win at Monaco in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday.
Right back Dani Alves raced into the box and back-heeled for Argentina striker Higuain to sweep home a clinical finish just before the half-hour mark.
The same two players combined again for the visitors' second goal on 59 minutes, Higuain tapping in from close range from an astute cross by the veteran Brazilian defender.
Monaco, featuring a bunch of gifted young players and who have scored plenty of goals this season, had their chances but kept bumping into the tightest defence in Europe's top club competition with just two goals conceded in this campaign.
Real Madrid crushed city rivals Atletico 3-0 thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick in the first leg of the other semi-final at the Bernabeu on Tuesday.

There are plenty of effective, non-surgical cosmetic treatments today, designed to do everything from turn back the clock to create a clearer complexion. For patients that have multiple skin concerns, a combination of cosmetic procedures may be the best option. At Skin & Body Solutions, we have a number of good reasons to consider combining your cosmetic procedures into a single treatment session.
Convenience and Efficiencyz,
Scheduling more than one cosmetic procedure at one time is a convenient way to meet your aesthetic goals without spending extra time or money. Undergoing more than one procedure may take a bit of extra time in your treatment session, but is much quicker than returning to the office for multiple visits. At the same time, some patients find combined treatments are more cost effective, since expenses like anesthesia only need to be administered once. Some physicians also offer discounts on treatments when more than one is performed at a time.
More Dramatic Results
By addressing multiple concerns at once, you can walk out of your treatment sporting much more dramatic results. In a single session, you can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, rejuvenate your skin and even enhance your facial contouring to achieve a more youthful look. Combined treatments help you achieve results comparable to those typically obtained through more invasive surgical procedures.
Safety of Multiple Procedures
One reason it is more common to combine procedures today is the fact that many cosmetic treatments have become much safer in recent years. As techniques and technology have evolved, many aesthetic treatments are much less ablative and result in less damage to surrounding skin and tissue. This allows physicians to perform multiple treatments without concern about increasing a patient's side effects or recovery time.
Common Procedure Combinations
It is very common today to combine skin rejuvenation, such as laser skin resurfacing or chemical peels, with anti-aging injectable treatments like neuromodulators or soft tissue fillers. You can also combine skin treatments like microdermabrasion and chemical peels to enhance the results of both procedures. Some patients choose to combine skin procedures with body contouring like CoolSculpting to produce a total look for trips or special occasions.
With so many options in cosmetic treatments today, it is easy to customize procedures to the unique needs and desired outcome of each patient. For some, that often means combining treatments into a single session to achieve multiple aesthetic goals at one time. To learn more about your options in combining cosmetic treatments, contact the Skin & Body Solutions staff at 780-489-2995.

Subsubsection: 20 January 2016 (on to Teotihuacan)
Subsection: High Lord of Earth
Subsection: Night of Masks
3 February 2016 (Fighting Malcolm Kane and the Darkness Device)
Diamond flies
Kane, hovering over the temple roof, so that he has to split his attention between her and the others below: he can't evade incoming attacks if he can't see them, and she puts a few rounds into his back. This distracts him enough that David's able to score a hit from the bottom of the pyramid, and Kane collapses. This might be a trick of some sort, but Diamond shoots him repeatedly in the head and chest, and when Stephen arrives at the top he cuts off Kane's head.
All Kane has on him, apart from the usual feathered robes, is an obsidian dagger. It doesn't seem to be magical.
As at Tikal, the temple leads to underground passages, though these reek of corruption and are significantly colder than outside, even out of the howling wind. There are occasional niches; in the first one, a distinguished-looking man appears, speaking in a deep voice and offering good things to the people of Earth: "an end to weakness, an end to uncertainty, an end to the hollow mockery of life which humanity now lives". Stephen shoots him, and the figure vanishes, but everyone felt the pressure on their minds; so when the next figure, a portly man, appears, Stephen shoots him immediately.
The next niche is empty, and the group pokes around for a while looking for concealed traps; as they move on, a brightly coloured parrot appears and starts to squawk at them, but Diamond shoots it before it can get any words out.
Finally, in the middle of a straight section of corridor, the stones themselves waver and begin to speak. The Darkness Device is asking for one of the group to join with it and become its High Lord, upon which it will "spill the blood of your enemies and lead you to glory".
The corridor leads to a large chamber, illuminated by lightning flashes from a small window high on the far side. The walls and floor are spattered with blood, both old and relatively recent, but are not otherwise decorated. The only furnishing is an altar, on which are a stone idol of a fanged warrior, holding a bloodstained bowl over its head, and a stone or wood construction that resembles a stela.
A voice, resonating from the air and inside everyone's minds, asks: "Which of you shall become my new master and slave?" As the group makes it clear that nobody's interested, the Device shows a series of scenes: Baruk Kaah leading his army of dinosaur cavalry, the mighty armies of Doctor Mobius, a red-eyed and gleaming-fanged presence in the jungles of Orrorsh, and other scenes from the invasion. The Device argues that this world will inevitably fall; can
ally be turned away? If they join with it, they can reclaim their world.
Diamond makes a pretence of being interested, and it asks that she plant the stela, one mile west. Then it can obtain the power it needs to defeat the foes of Earth, and…
This is the point at which Thorfin hits the idol with his pick. The thing's a lot stronger than it looks, but it does at least stop talking. Thorfin smashes the stela, and that works rather better. Stephen rigs explosives around the idol, and starts a timer, but the exit slams shut, the stone bulging to fill the corridor. He cancels the countdown, and puts up a bubble of his own reality; the Device triggers a reality storm, and things go downhill.
The storm is clearly far more powerful than any of the group can hope to beat, though Thorfin and then Diamond hold it back briefly while the others try things. A smaller explosive charge doesn't leave anything more than blackened marks, lighting a fire in the bowl and then quenching it does nothing, and the troll-claw blade leaves no impression, but when Diamond cuts into the stone blocking the passage that's rather more effective: gouts of blood pour out, as the stone seems to be a thin shell over muscle and other tissue. Everyone works on getting out, with Diamond carrying the force of the storm until, with a heroic effort, Stephen picks her up and
her out of it. She's glowing and crackling with possibility energy, and the storm shrinks behind the group as they sprint up the corridor and out to the more conventional thunderstorm at the top of the pyramid.
The group heads down and to the stela site: there's a hole, apparently dug by lightning strike. Thorfin can detect two stelæ already planted, but they're hundreds of miles away, and one of them's out in the Gulf of Mexico. With some quick thought, David realises that the Device must be planning to travel
a Maelstrom Bridge to its own home realm to gather power, then back to Earth; if the Bridge could be set up and then broken…?
There's no stela, of course, but Diamond is still glowing with the possibility energy of the Aztec realm. She steps into the hole, using her skill in the manipulation of reality to provide the anchor, linking to the other two stelae. A winding bridge of obsidian grows out of the distant pyramid and twists towards the clouds; a negative glow moves up it and out of sight.
Nobody know how long this will take, but Diamond waits a while then attempts to disconnect herself from the network. She severs the links to the other stelae, then suppresses the stela-nature she's taken on herself and is thrown out of the pit, landing neatly.
The obsidian bridge cracks, falls in fragments, and shatters to dust as it hits the ground. The storm dies away, and the ancient city of Teotihuacan has fallen back into ruin. Going back to search reveals no sign of the passages in the Pyramid of the Moon, or of anything that was left in the chamber.

SugarLike Sweeteners in Beverages
Our lab has made a breakthrough in carbonated soft drink beverages, sweetened with SugarLike. They prepared a lemon/lime flavored prototype for a customer demonstration. It was a welcome refreshing cool, sweet, sugar-free drink that was well received by everyone who tasted.
That prototype utilized an existing SugarLike Encapsulated Monk Fruit sweetener, with 100% sugar removed. This sweetener is made from natural ingredients; nothing artificial. The taste profile is clean, bright and round. Not the late onset often found with other sweeteners. And the profile has a smooth rise, medium top and matching decline without lingering. Absolutely no metallic off-notes.

How to Make It
Place racks in top and bottom thirds of oven; preheat to 350ºF. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment.
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on low speed, beat peanut butter, sugar, egg, 1/4 cup water and vanilla until combined. Increase speed to medium and beat until mixture is well-blended and light, about 3 minutes. On low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture until just incorporated.
Pinch off a heaping teaspoonful of dough and roll into a 1-inch ball. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat, covering both sheets, spacing dough balls 1 inch apart. With end of a wooden spoon handle, make an indentation in center of each ball. Fill each indentation with 1/4 teaspoon jam.
Bake, switching sheets halfway through, until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough and jam.

Your home can gain more than a lower utility bill when you replace your windows. You can gain style. Here are 4 considerations that will help you choose not just an energy-efficient window but a window that will enhance the style and appearance of your home!
1. Contemporary. Contemporary homes look best with strong shapes and simple elegance. Many contemporary homes have large windows and, even, floor to ceiling glass. Thin frames show off these large expanses of glass while they keep the clean, modern look. If you want a more organic look to soften the starker contemporary style, don't rule out wood. Consider painting the inside wood frames the same color as the wall. Use retractable blinds or shades so you can open up those big, beautiful windows and enjoy the whole view.
2. Spanish. Many of today's homes, especially those in the West, borrow their design features from Spanish or Moorish design. You're going to find arches and curved windows in this popular style – also known as Santa Barbara style. Consider using grilles to give these beautiful windows even more style. Think of a round window that's divided into fourths by wood-look grilles. You can create the look of smaller, designer panes without the expense by using pre-made grilles. Think about a sunburst for that arch!
Craftsman. This bungalow-style architecture seems to say "welcome home" and the right windows will make that message even stronger. You can use grilles to create a full surround, prairie style with grilles that create an attractive "frame" or think about looking at the available decorative glass that has the pattern incorporated into its design. You'll want to decide whether you want double-hung or casement windows – both will look great!
3. Ranch. Ranch homes showcase how window glass had changed. Glass could be made in large sizes to let in lots of natural light. Ranch homes tend to have low-slung, horizontal lines. Think about keeping all those stationary large windows, but upgrade them to more energy efficient, double pane glass. For the smaller windows, casement windows highlight the design ad today's casement windows operate easily.
The best way to get the right windows for your home is to work with a local, licensed window replacement company. They'll understand the style of homes in your location and what windows compliment them best. A good window replacement company will have a conversation with you regarding style. They'll listen to what you want and give you their advice. The end result – a great looking home and lower utility bills!

Healthy Aging Naturally
Supplementation is very important for women 45-49, as after the age of 40 two genetic time bombs have been triggered within
the body's aging clock, which are associated with important age-related health problems. These health problems concern your joints (arthritic changes), and heart function (e.g. high blood pressure, congestive heart failure). These are the supplementation considerations that are most important:
Heart Health Support: After age 45 the heart is less able to generate the energy required to keep the heart pump (the heart muscle – myocardium) functioning at an optimal level. This is due to the age-related decline in synthesis of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which is required to convert food into energy. Studies show that supplementation with CoQ10 and Hawthorn can improve heart function, as evidenced by the fact that they have improved heart function even in patients with congestive heart failure and helped reduce high blood pressure. After age 45 it is vital to protect your heart health with these supplements to help avoid these serious age-related health problems.
Adëeva's Heart Health Support product is Cardio Essentials
Joint Cartilage Support: During this period of life joint cartilage erosion also begins due to decreased glucosamine synthesis in the body. This eventually leads to osteoarthritis of our joints. Supplementation with glucosamine, along with natural anti-inflammatory compounds (quercetin, MSN, bromelain) can preserve cartilage and inhibit the joint inflammation that is also a natural part of the aging process.
Adëeva's joint cartilage support product is Glucosamine Joint Formula
Three Lifelong Foundation Supplements: the following 3 supplements should be taken throughout all of adult life beginning at age 15-16 (Bone Support is optional based on your diet and bone density status).
1. High Potency Multiple Vitamin and Mineral:A high potency multiple vitamin and mineral should be antioxidant enriched, contain a B-50 complex, 500 mg of elemental calcium, other bone support nutrients, and every vitamin from Vitamin A to Zinc.
Antioxidant Enriched – antioxidants quench free radicals that cause the kind of genetic damage that transforms a normal cell into a cancer cell. These initiated cancer cells often lie dormant for 20-40 yrs before undergoing rapid cell division and forming malignant tumors. Many cancers that strike in one's 50's, 60's 70's and beyond, were actually initiated by free radical damage that occurred in a person's teens, 20's and/or 30's.
Antioxidants also quench free radicals that slowly contribute to the following ailments, which also manifest later in life – cataracts, macular degeneration (the leading cause of blindness in people over 55), Alzheimer's disease, other neurodegenerative diseases (MS, Parkinson's disease), skin aging (and skin cancer), atherosclerosis (narrowing of arteries), weakened immune function.
For health optimization and disease prevention daily antioxidant dosages from a high potency multiple vitamin and mineral supplement should include:
- Vitamin C – 1000 mg
- Vitamin E succinate
- Selenium 100 – 150 mcg
- Beta –carotene 10,000 -15,000 IU
- Vitamin A – 2500 IU
- Bioflavonoids – 50 mg
- Lycopene Powder – 6 mg
- Lutein Powder – 6 mg

Yesterday, the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences released the 15 films on the short list in the Documentary feature category for this year's Oscars. Only three films on the shortlist are directed by women. That's just 20%.
While there are many strong and worthy contenders in this category — we are big fans of The Invisible War — there are many other really excellent women-directed documentaries released this year that most certainly could have made this list including Lauren Greenfield's Queen of Versailles, Sarah Burns' Central Park Five, Amy Berg's West of Memphis and Lisa Immordino Vreeland's Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel.
Here are the women directed features:
Alison Klayman – Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry
Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing –Detropia

Toyota Supra. Who has never heard of this famous name? Being a "hero" car in the first Fast & Furious franchise, winning in a variety of international competitions such as turing & drifting, and racing across the streets in hundreds of countries. Supra is a legend.
The question will be when the latest generation of Toyota Supra appears seems to have been answered already. 2018. That's the year that the newest Supra will be introduced, bringing a variety of updates ranging from the form, the technology it contains, to whom this car shares the platform.
Toyota Supra is a platform result of the cooperation of BMW and Toyota, which has been running since the last few years. BMW will use this platform to introduce the BMW Z5, whose test photos have been circulating in cyberspace since the last few months. Z5 is a successor of the Z4 coupe, which is getting old and urgent to be replaced. While Supra, who does not know, is a Toyota sports car that has long been awaited the latest generation.
Here are my comments on the latest model from Toyota Supra. First, his appearance. The back looks exaggerated. This is influenced also by the size of a large body even without additional devices.
2018 Toyota Supra Interior
Second, the interior. Typical Toyota, in both good and bad terms. The cockpit in the driver's seat is amazing. You should try it. It would be even better to increase it to 320km / h TRD full scale meter (currently production is stopped and the price will soar on the auction website.
I will only give a brief comment on the performance of his machine because many others have written at length about it – I can not stand the torque. Starting with 2nd gear is still possible. Acceleration can bring this vehicle with high speed on the road freeway even climb
Many differences with 1L turbo class cars. This car is good depending on your expectations of driving performance. The little trick will not work. The concept is different from FD and S2000. The original REAS suspension is good enough to drive in towns and turns. Not too soft, not too hard.
Fuel consumption is around 6K / L in Tokyo. If not driven carefully he will go down to 5K / L. In Osaka will reach 110km / h with 4 people in the car, fuel consumption 8K / L. Many people say this car can reach 10K / L on freeway road, but I never feel it. Overall, this car is good and comes with an enhanced specification. Unless you expect too high, you will not regret having bought this car.
Toyota Supra 2018 Price
This car will be thrown in the market with an estimated price of about US $ 100K-150K

B to the 3=Baby, Blocks, Bassets! I suppose you could also add brrrrrrrrrrrrrr as a 4th or alternate B.
I don't know if you are aware of the temperatures here in Wyoming, but it is cold. So very, very, very cold. Cold enough that we've only been outside for brief moments in the past few days. Cold enough that when the transformer down the street blew, leaving us and 399 other homes without power, there was real concern that we'd have to take up residence (kids, cat, dogs, and all) with my parents. Thankfully the power company was all over it and we were only without power for 4 hours and it didn't get too uncomfortably cold in our home.
Anyway, the cold air has us all trying to spend time indoors. Absolutely no unnecessary time outside. So I have been breaking out all of the busy toys a little at a time. Recently, while Cordelia was at preschool, I broke out the blocks and let Elise have a ball. Usually big sister takes over so this was kind of a fun treat for the littlest. The dogs have been snuggling extra close even though the heater is working well and they have fur.

It's nice to have the toys to herself while Cordelia is at school, at least she can play with them without fear of them being taken away.

Many television advertisements for CRUK were broadcast on various English TV channels, and there was a significant amount of advertising on billboards, posters, telephone boxes and the like.
These ads raised awareness about cancer, cancer research and cancer diagnosis and, in my opinion, were very effective. Below are some examples of CRUK's skillful advertisements.
Please take a moment to check out some of CRUK's other videos on their YouTube channel.
The reason I, as a cancer awareness advocate, am highlighting the significant work of 'Cancer Research UK' is because I believe other cancer organisations can learn much from the work they do to increase the public's understanding of cancer. No doubt their work generates many donations to the organisation.
'Cancer Research UK' also has a large number of shops across the United Kingdom. These are a fantastic way to raise money for cancer research and also to raise the profile of cancer research.
These shops sell a variety of merchandise, including products that are donated. They also sell things like food products and wrist bands.
As well a this, CRUK organises some of the more traditional cancer awareness fundraisers, such as the fun-runs that are part of their Race for Life program.
The fact that the significant amount of work CRUK does can be noticed within a few days of visiting the United Kingdom shows just how prevalent the organisation is. I think that cancer research charities around the world could learn something from 'Cancer Research UK' about advertising and fundraising, as CRUK has some of the most impressive ideas for raising awareness about cancer that I have come across.
Take care,
Madeleine Moore

Experimenting with trends is great in your 20s, Lisa adds. However, as we get older and establish careers, the balance between "of the moment" and "investment" wardrobe shifts progressively toward "investment." But that doesn't mean we can't update our classics with a few colors and fabrics of the season.
Lisa has pulled together some spring outfits that are stylish and age appropriate. All fashions can be found at stores Woodfield in Schaumburg. For more information, visit www.shopwoodfield.com

Total $246 (minus the shoes)
Carrie ? 20s in A'Gaci
Trend: Nautical-themed casual wear
Whether spending a day at the lake, shopping or dining, nautical-themed looks are back:

Total Look (minus the shoes and accessories) - $186

If the old adage holds true that says hemlines go up when the economy improves, then things are cautiously looking up for spring.
At least that's the fashion-omic forecast from a quirky yet historically accurate tool, the "hemline indicator." The time-tested theory relies not on computer models or financial projections but on skirt lengths as a barometer for the state of the economy. And the just-released results of a survey commissioned by Taubman Centers, manager of Woodfield Mall, suggests that skirt lengths will hover just below and above the knee this spring, accompanied by a cautious dose of optimism.
In an internet survey conducted by Market Strategies International, people across the country were asked the question: They say that hemlines go up when the economy improves; if that's true, where do you think skirt lengths will be this spring? Fully 82 percent answered "just below the knee" meaning "cautious optimism" or "above the knee" which translates to "light at the end of the tunnel." Only 14 percent chose "ankle duster," indicating economic uncertainty. Four percent chose "cheesecake," foreseeing good news ahead. The totals are:
? Ankle duster (Uncertain times ahead): 14 percent
? Just below the knee (Cautious optimism): 44 percent
? Above the knee (Light at the end of the tunnel): 38 percent
? Cheesecake (Good news ahead): 4 percent
The internet survey was fielded January 21 through February 12, 2010. The1038 responses were from participants that chose a specific Taubman shopping center as their primary shopping center.
This "hemline survey" is the third that Taubman has conducted. In the first study conducted in 2003, the majority surveyed (30%) predicted skirts would rise above the knee or "light at the end of the tunnel." By 2004, 51 percent of those surveyed predicted skirts would rise above the knee? a more optimistic outlook than this year's "just below the knee" or "cautious optimism" (44 percent) result.

Eric Stonestreet, who plays Cam on 'Modern Family,' told ABC News that the show's season finale, which featured a gay wedding, 'was a meaningful episode, for us, for the show, for the arc of Mitch and Cam, but it was an important episode for so many viewers.'…
It's only been two weeks since the "Modern Family" season finale, where Mitch and Cam tied the knot in a game-changing TV wedding.
Eric Stonestreet, who plays Cam on the show, told ABC News that "it was a meaningful episode, for us, for the show, for the arc of Mitch and Cam, but it was an important episode for so many viewers."
Stonestreet, 42, said once Prop 8 was overturned in California, it really "paved the way" for the show to tell the story of Mitch and Cam, two gay men, getting married in a quirky, "Modern Family" way.

Getting to marry Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Mitch on the show was not just emotional for viewers, but the for the actors, as well.
"We had shot all that day doing some of the things leading up to it," he said. "Jesse and I walked down the aisle together, and we both were wearing our sunglasses, and we took our sunglasses off and we both were just welled up with tears because it's not just about Mitch and Cam in that moment."
Stonestreet revealed that one of his earliest managers knew this role was going to be big right from the start.
"He was like. 'You're gonna be in history books someday,'" he said of the manager now living in Atlanta. "I'm like, 'Come on, man!'"
But most of all, Stonestreet said the best part of playing such a great character is "the personal impact I've been able to see in people's lives."
"When kids come up to me and say, 'You made it easier to come out to my mom and dad because of Mitch and Cam,' or parents come up and say, 'I was able to accept my son or my daughter more because of the relationship portrayed on "Modern Family."' That's the best honor of my job," he said.

National Coordinator for Health IT Karen DeSalvo, M.D., will continue to work on high-level policy issues at ONC despite being named Acting Assistant Secretary for Health to help with the Obama administrations Ebola response effort.
In an effort to reassure the health IT community at large of her continued involvement in policymaking, it was announced at a Nov. 4 meeting of the HIT Policy Committee that DeSalvo will remain chair of the committee. Paul Tang, vice chair of the committee, said that she will also work with Acting National Coordinator Lisa Lewis in guiding ONC.
Tang made the point that development and finalization of ONCs interoperability roadmap as well as meaningful use Stage 3 requirements is ongoing work that is weaving its way through the clearance process and clearly has the imprint of Karens guidance, so that will be quite stable.
DeSalvo herself told the committee that although Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell has asked her to lean in on helping with Ebola and some of the other public health issues health IT remains a priority for this department and the country and is at the top of Burwells agenda.
The work is not lower priority and not stopping, DeSalvo added, saying that she will also continue to co-chair the HHS cross-departmental work on delivery system reform with Patrick Conway, M.D., Chief Medical Officer for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The American Medical Association recently expressed concerns that DeSalvos departure from ONC, in addition to those of several other senior staff including the Deputy National Coordinator for Health IT Jacob Reider, M.D., would create a significant leadership gap which could jeopardize the growing momentum around interoperability.
But, in a subsequent statement, AMA announced that it was pleased to learn that DeSalvo will remain involved at ONC. We look forward to continuing to work with her to fix the Meaningful Use program and achieve an interoperable technology infrastructure, said Steven Stack, M.D., AMAs president-elect.

Five Takeaways - Leafs vs. Red Wings - 03/07/17
Here are five takeaways from the Maple Leafs' 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings Tuesday at Air Canada Centre:by Adam Proteau / MapleLeafs.com
1. Marchenko nets first as a Leaf - and against his former team - to put Toronto ahead early. The Leafs were seeking to end a five-game losing streak Tuesday and were strong at the start of the night, pressuring the Red Wings early and getting rewarded for it when blueliner Alexey Marchenko scored his first goal in a Toronto uniform just 1:07 into the opening period to put the Buds ahead 1-0.
Marchenko, who was acquired off waivers from Detroit in early February, was playing in his sixth game as a Leaf, and the goal was his first of the year and fourth of his NHL career in his 116th regular-season games. The 25-year-old played 20:01 against the L.A. Kings on March 2, and his confidence within head coach Mike Babcock's system is growing.

2. Leafs' power play clicks quickly as van Riemsdyk reaches 20-goal plateau. Toronto wasn't content with their one-goal lead early in the first frame, forcing the Wings into taking two minor penalties in the first eight minutes of the contest. And on the first man advantage, the Leafs increased their lead thanks to winger James van Riemsdyk, who scored his 20th goal of the season at the 6:38 mark.
The 27-year-old van Riemsdyk hit the 20-goal plateau for the fourth time in his eight-year NHL career, and ended a 14-game goal drought Tuesday. He's also a valuable power play contributor: the goal was his 16th point (out of a total of 49 points so far this year) and gave the home side some breathing room entering the second period.

3. Kadri adds to Toronto's lead, draws closer to matching career high in points. Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen was sharp in the first period and prevented Detroit from cutting into his team's lead, and in the second, Toronto's defense helped him out, keeping the Wings from registering a shot on net through the first 16:13 of the frame. Meanwhile, at the other end, the Buds extended their lead to three goals when centre Nazem Kadri took a pass from William Nylander at the visitor's goal line and rifled a shot past netminder Petr Mrazek at the 5:49 mark to make it 3-0 for the Leafs.
Kadri's goal was his 27th of the year - now seven goals better than his previous career-best of 20 - and his 49th point of the season. He's one point away from tying his career high in that department, and the 26-year-old will almost certainly demolish that number with relative ease in the coming weeks.
4. Nyquist gets Wings on scoreboard with 37.8 seconds left in second, adds second of the game 36 seconds into third. The Wings managed only five shots on Andersen in the middle frame, but one of them came when winger Gustav Nyquist was left all alone in front of Toronto's net, and he beat Andersen between the legs to register Detroit's first goal of the game with 37.8 seconds left before the second intermission. Then, just 36 seconds into the third, Nyquist added his second of the night and ninth of the year to pull the Wings within one.
Toronto did a stellar job in keeping the quality of the Wings' scoring chances low for the grand majority of the period, but Nyquist's markers proved once again that any NHL team can produce offence in an eye's blink if the defensive structure isn't there. As a result, the Leafs entered the final 19 minutes of regulation time with a much smaller advantage than they enjoyed for most of the second.
5. Detroit pushes, but Leafs hang on, snap losing skid. The Leafs were on their heels for a good deal of the final period and Detroit outshot them 10-6 in the last 20 minutes, but Andersen shut the door and Toronto battled hard along the walls to keep the Wings from tying it late and forcing overtime.
The Buds' win gave them a much-needed two standings points to stay in the thick of things in the Eastern Conference playoff race, and with the Philadelphia Flyers headed to the ACC Thursday for another crucial contest, the Leafs have some momentum in their favour. That said, Toronto's possession game has room to improve, and their play at the start and end of periods will be a focus for Babcock and his coaching staff. Simply put, the kind of lapses they saw at the end of the second and start of the third need to be eliminated for the Leafs to enjoy continued success.

In the US, for the first time, human embryos have been genetically modified using CRISPR Cas9 technology. An algorithm derived from artificial intelligence is able to predict the onset of Alzheimer's disease in individuals five years before diagnosis. The first gene-altering treatment for leukemia, Kymriah, has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. We live in an age where health and technology are inseparable, with unparalleled rates of discovery in unprecedented areas. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and with the power to genetically alter humans now in our capability and the sophistication of computational methods to diagnose and treat disease, we are faced with huge ethical and logistical questions to be answered.
Topic 2 | Regulation and the Information Economy
+ More Information
In 2007, the number of Bits of information in the physical universe surpassed the number of stars in the physical universe. The sequencing of the human genome once took 10 years; it now takes approximately one week. Big Data affects every part of our lives, even if we might not be aware of its omnipresence. This is an era of immense data collection and creation, where information is so abundant and our computational power so high that we face one of the largest frameshifts in the global economy from manufacturing to knowledge. With this radical transformation, we are faced with multitudes of novel philosophical questions about how we should regulate and manage the proliferation of data as well as the private entities that build their livelihoods on information as an international community.

Amateur astronomers are gearing up for the next celestial event visible from South Florida -- a partial solar eclipse on Oct. 3.
The moon will block about 42 percent of the sun as it passes between the sun and Earth, casting a sliver of a shadow on the Earth.
The eclipse will begin in the Western Hemisphere about 1 p.m., with the midpoint coming at 3:04 p.m. That`s when maximum coverage will occur.
Maximum eclipse will begin about 2:54 p.m., with the end of maximum coverage at 3:16 p.m. The whole affair will be over at 5:13 p.m.
Events are planned at Buehler Planetarium in Davie and the Gibson Observatory at the South Florida Science Museum in West Palm Beach. At Buehler, 3501 Davie Road on the Broward Community College central campus, a bank of telescopes will be set up to view projected images of the eclipse, beginning at 2:30 p.m.
In West Palm Beach, the Gibson Observatory, at 4801 Dreher Trail North, will be open to the public from 1 to 5 p.m. Viewers can watch the projected eclipse on a screen from the observatory telescope. Children are encouraged to bring shoeboxes, which they will be shown how to turn into projectors.
All events are subject to the weather.
While it should offer interesting viewing -- remember not to look directly at the eclipse -- it will not be spectacular. Do not expect the skies here to darken, because the sun is just too bright. More than half of the sun will remain exposed.
``It will look like a cookie with a bite taken out of it,`` said Gary Bogner, planetarium director at the South Florida Science Museum.
