He's hailed as the greatest of all time, but experts explain... Why superstar Frankel doesn't win OUR race
Frankel races for the final time at Saturday on Ascot after winning all 13 races of his brilliant career. Here our team of experts assess the horse, and his place in the sport's rich history.
Who's who on the panel (left to right)
Rode the great Brigadier Gerard and three Derby winners — Charlottown, Santa Claus and
Never Say Die — during the course of their careers. His biggest win was in the 1960 King
George on Aggressor. He was a BBC racing pundit for more than 27 years.
Three-time Derby and Arc-winning jockey whose name is associated with the record-breaking 10-length 1981 Derby winner Shergar.

MARCUS TOWNEND: Unbeaten Frankel bids to extend his record to 14 wins in the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot today. He is rated the best racehorse ever by Timeform and second only to 1986 Arc de Triomphe hero Dancing Brave on official British Horseracing Authority figures. Does he deserve such a lofty assessment?
The Qipco Champion Stakes
Where: Ascot
When: 4.05pm on Saturday
TV: LIVE BBC1 from 1.30pm.
JIMMY LINDLEY: Frankel is as good as I've ever seen but I wouldn't say he's the best ever. My top horse is Ribot, winner of the Arc in 1955 and the Arc and King George a year later. He came from Italy, travelled Europe and was unbeaten. But not many will remember him. Frankel is a great champion and, because he is winning by big distances, people think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. But how good are the horses behind him? Other top horses like Dancing Brave, Mill Reef and Sea Bird were beating top notchers. I rode Brigadier Gerard in his first ever gallop because (regular jockey) Joe Mercer was away. I had never sat on anything like him. He beat Mill Reef in the 1971 2,000 Guineas but I always felt that would never have happened again and he's another at the top of my list.
WALTER SWINBURN: I've got to admit Frankel has grown on me. He is the only horse I have seen for a long time which has the ability to win at distances from six furlongs to a mile-and-a-quarter.
But he's only No 3 on my all-time list. I'll be accused of wearing rose-tinted glasses but I have Shergar at No 2. Like Frankel, he possessed great speed even though some dismiss him as a mile-and-a-half horse. My No 1 is US legend Secretariat. He broke three track records to win the 1973 US Triple Crown which, incredibly, all still stand today. His time of two minutes 24 seconds for the last leg — the mile-and-a-half Belmont Stakes — is also still the world record.
Superstar: Frankel wins his 13th race at York in August
MIKE DILLON: Frankel is one of the highest ever achievers on the Turf but he wouldn't be my best ever. I feel there is a little frustration in what he has achieved. He needs to race over a mile-and-a-half to be up there with the very best. Consistency is one thing but you need variety. The racehorse that left the biggest impression on me was 1965 Arc and Derby winner Sea Bird. He had the two best weapons in a racehorse's armoury — the ability to travel and quicken. I also think it's a possibility the 2009 2,000 Guineas, Derby and Arc winner Sea The Stars would beat Frankel in a race-off. He only ever did enough in a race — jockey Michael Kinane never wanted to win by six lengths — and we never knew how good he was. His record of winning six Group One races in six months will stand the test of time.
Unbeaten in 13 races. Biggest wins in the 2,000 Guineas, Sussex Stakes (twice), Queen Anne Stakes and Juddmonte International Stakes.
French-trained colt who was a giant over middle distances with superb wins in the 1965 Derby and Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe.
Won eight of his 10 starts. Big 1986 wins in the 2,000 Guineas, Eclipse, King George and the Arc.
Won 12 of his 14 races. Landed the Derby, Eclipse, King George and the Arc – all in 1971.
Won 17 of his 18 starts, including the Middle Park Stakes. Beat Mill Reef in the 1971 2,000 Guineas.
MARCUS TOWNEND: Many people will be surprised by your assessments. Frankel has done things on a racecourse some of us have never seen before, like his six-length romp in last year's 2,000 Guineas.
WALTER SWINBURN: Early in his career he was running his races the wrong way round. Too fast, too early. After a furlong in the 2,000 Guineas he was out of control with jockey Tom Queally. When he went for his whip, I sensed panic and I've been there. In the Derby, when I was on Shergar, I went too soon and at the two-furlong pole I felt the same and picked my whip up. I find it really hard to look back at that video.
MIKE DILLON: I agree. Frankel first came to my attention when he won his second race as a two-year-old by 13 lengths at Doncaster. You immediately noticed his stride but I remember thinking as I came off the stand this horse is not going to stay — he is out of control. I didn't think Tom Queally had any input into what was happening when the horse was a two-year-old and I think that carried on as a three-year-old. Everyone was blown away with the 2,000 Guineas but I was quite unimpressed. In the St James's Palace Stakes, the same thing happened. He had control of the race rather than Tom having control of him. But now he has matured and settled down.
Looking good: Frankel on the gallops at Newmarket last month
MARCUS TOWNEND: Given he was so headstrong, how highly do you rate the way Sir Henry Cecil has trained him?
JIMMY LINDLEY: I think it is the greatest training feat that Cecil has ever produced — I don't think many other trainers could have achieved it, although I'll probably get some on the phone now. Only Henry has the mentality to get inside Frankel's brain. His genius was settling the horse.
MARCUS TOWNEND: Frankel is unbeaten in 13 races but which would you rate as his best performance?
MIKE DILLON: The Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, when he won by 11 lengths. There was a maturity about him that hadn't been there before. He is not Sea The Stars or Camelot in terms of looks. But he had muscled up in his chest. He arrived that day for me.
WALTER SWINBURN: I agree. It has to be the Queen Anne when he absolutely slaughtered Excelebration. A horse that races with the choke out, like he had done, can be vulnerable but he did everything right that day.
MARCUS TOWNEND: Some feel that Frankel could have been campaigned too conservatively —they would have liked him to run in the Arc and, maybe, next month's Breeders' Cup in America. Are they right?
Brilliant: Sea The Stars thrilled racing audiences in 2009
WALTER SWINBURN: When you are planning programmes, especially for the great horses which have to be brought to a peak, there are only so many times you can run.
MIKE DILLON: I think Henry Cecil has done exactly what was right for the horse. If he'd have gone the Arc route, they would have probably pulled him out anyway when the ground got so bad. But I do think there is unfinished business and a compelling case for keeping him in training next year. I'd implore his owner, Prince Khaled Abdullah, to consider it. It would be perfect symmetry to finish off in the 2013 Breeders' Cup, which is again run at Santa Anita, the California home track of the late US trainer Bobby Frankel, after whom he is named. What a fantastic end to the story that would be.
MARCUS TOWNEND: Jimmy and Walter, as former jockeys, are you envious of his jockey, Tom Queally?
JIMMY LINDLEY: I'm not envious but I would have loved to have ridden him. I only rode The Brigadier in work but to ride a world beater is a great feeling. I'd have loved to see Lester (Piggott) ride him. He would probably never have won by more than a length, and been given the Lester settling treatment. He might even have run in the Derby.
Unforgettable: Walter Swinburn rides Shergar to victory in the 1981 Derby
WALTER SWINBURN: I'd love to have had one go on Frankel — just to get the feel in the hands — whether it be on the gallops or the track. That's the exciting part but Tom, who was under fire after his ride in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot last year, when he got a scare, deserves plenty of praise. The pairing has grown in confidence together.
MARCUS TOWNEND: Frankel has been odds-on favourite in 12 of his 13 races and been a galloping cash machine, so what has he been like for bookmakers?
MIKE DILLON: Sometimes, you have to look at the bigger picture and he has been a Pied Piper for racing. In terms of the profile for the sport, whatever it has cost us it has been well worth it. There comes a time when the losses should be put into the promotional budget rather than the trading budget.
MARCUS TOWNEND: There has been a lot of rain at Ascot and conditions will be fairly testing. Is that a worry or can Frankel cope?
Proud day: Sir Henry Cecil will hope Frankel bows out on a high
WALTER SWINBURN: It would be a concern if things don't pan out quite right from the start and he raced too freely. The other jockeys should have to come up with a plan. I'd be thinking about making it pretty noisy in stalls and getting him buzzed up. It can be a bit cat and mouse but you have to be careful not to blow the chance of your own horse. If I was William Buick on Nathaniel, I'd be thinking about going off fast and then dropping anchor to see if I could get Frankel pulling. But he does have the insurance of his pacemaker, Bullet Train.
JIMMY LINDLEY: When I beat the great Petite Etoile on Aggressor in the King George at Ascot it was because he loved soft ground and we wore her down. When the ground gets abnormally heavy it can affect the result. But it is in Frankel's favour that the home straight, where he will really have to race, is better drained since Ascot's redevelopment and I think he will be all right.
MARCUS TOWNEND: Are the bookmakers rubbing their hands thinking there is a chance of a shock result, Mike?
MIKE DILLON: Definitely not because, for the profile of racing, you'd want him to win. But it is another test and he is going into the unknown, especially against the French-trained 2011 winner Cirrus Des Aigles, who seems to grow another leg on soft ground. Frankel has serious opposition and his two main competitors — Cirrus and Nathaniel — will relish conditions. Nathaniel is a mile-and-a-half horse. I think his big chance is to stoke the race up and keep putting on the coal. Frankel might have to prove he stays further than a mile-and-a-quarter. It will be fascinating.

There are 150 days to go until competition officially kicks off in Brisbane for the inaugural Australian Youth Water Polo Championships starting 12... [more]
The game of water polo is an international sport and is played by two teams of seven players, six field players and one goal keeper. Game play involves swimming treading water (using a kicking motion known as "eggbeater kick"), players passing the ball while being defended by opponents, and scoring by throwing the ball into a net defended by the goal keeper. Water polo, therefore, has strong similarities to the land based game of team handball. For further information on the history of water polo click here.
Basic Rules of Water Polo
The following information provides a snapshot of the rules of the game and should not be seen as a substitute for the Official Rule Book. The Official Rule Book should always be consulted and can be purchased from your local State or Territory or via www.fina.org.
Length of Game
The duration of a game of water polo is four eight minute periods. Time commences at the start of each period and the clock is stopped throughout the game during stoppages with time resuming once the ball is put back in the field of play either by a player taking the appropriate throw or when the ball is touched by a player following a neutral throw.
There are two minute intervals between time periods with a five minute break at half time. Should the scores be even at full time, two three minute periods of extra time will be played in the event that a definite result is required. Should scores remain level at the end of extra time a penalty shoot out will occur.
Starting the Game
At the start of each period players take up positions on their respective goal lines about one metre apart and no closer than one metre from the goal posts. A referee will blow the whistle to start the game and then release a ball into play in the middle of the pool.
Time Outs
Each team may request two timeouts in any game. An additional time out, in addition to any time outs not used during ordinary play may be requested during extra time. A timeout is one minute in duration and may be requested at any time and the game is immediately stopped.
Scoring a Goal
A goal is scored when the entire ball passes full over the goal line, between the goal posts and underneath the cross bar. A goal may be scored from anywhere within the field of play, however, the goal keeper may not touch the bal lbeyond the half way mark. A goal may be scored by any part of the body except a clenched fist.
Team Changes and Substitutions
Each team consists of seven players (including a goal keeper), and not more than six reserves who may be used as substitutes. All players not in the game at the time sit on the team bench situated on the side of the pool. At any time in the game a player may be substituted by leaving the field of play with the exception of when a referee awards a penalty.
Fouls & Free Throws
There are several different types of fouls which the referee will not permit including; ordinary fouls, exclusion fouls, penalty fouls, and personal fouls. In the event of a foul the referee may award a free throw or penatly throw. For further information please consult the Official Rule Book or www.fina.org.
Playing Positions
Goal Keeper (GK)
The person playing this position has a vital defensive role while also supporting their teammates when in attack. Goal keepers must always be aware of their position in the goals relative to the ball in play. They have to focus on the ball at all times to ensure they are ready to make a save if a player decides to shoot. It's also important for goal keepers to stay engaged in the game as they often have the best vision of the entire pool in both attack and defence. They play an important role in communicating what they see to their teammates. For example, in defence, they are responsible for calling defensive plays and positioning of blockers. In attack, they are responsible for communicating the time remaining on the shot clock and players who are in a good position to receive the ball.
Centre Forward (CF)
The centre forward position is on the 2m line in front of the goals. The outer positions (such as point, wings and drivers) are responsible for getting the ball into the CF. Balls are usually passed into the CF using a wet pass where the CF will attempt to take a shot or try to draw an exclusion. The CF position is a specialised position that requires a different set of skills compared to the perimeter players.
Point (P)
The Point (P) player in attack, often directs attacking play and is a good long-distance shooter.
Wing (W)
Wings play on either side of the goal near the 2m line. The Wings' aim is to set the ball and to get themselves open to receive passes, take shots and get the ball to the CF.
Drivers (D)
Drivers are constantly creating movement by driving down to the goal post and rotating around, or creating screens in order to free teammates off their defenders. Like Wings, their main job is to get the ball into the CF. Their proximity to the goal and their position relative to the CF make them invaluable components for scoring goals.
In defensive play:
Centre Back (CB)
The centre back position exists only during defensive play and is responsible for defending the centre forward in front of the goals around the 2m line. CB's will position themselves on the CF's based on the type of defence the team is playing. This means they could be behind, in front or on the side of the CF. Once the ball is passed to the CF, the CB will try to steal the ball and also prevent the CF from scoring.

BROKEN DREAMS-the movie
BROKEN DREAMS is a sports/crime drama suggested by a true story about a promising high school football player who slips into rebelliousness and crime when his mother dies but gets a second chance for a football scholarship when his new girlfriend rescues him from a drug deal gone bad.
Popular urban high school football star Jonathan Haskins is on track for a college scholarship when his mother dies suddenly and his father immediately remarries. So Jonathan has to move in with an aunt and start over in a suburban school where he is now a nobody and a lowly retail clerk at the mall. The one bright spot in his life is his new girlfriend, Eryn, a pretty mall security guard who loves football, saw Jonathan's game tape, and encourages him not to give up on his dream. But Jonathan is too bitter to listen.
Feeling discouraged about his future prospects, Jonathan says yes when his cousin asks him to be an accomplice to a mall drug deal. The plan is for the cousin to make the drop while pretending to exchange an item at a store, while Jonathan uses the store phone to signal the rest of the gang when the coast is clear. Unfortunately for Jonathan, a mall security guard catches the other
participants while Jonathan is fingered as an accomplice. But that security guard is Eryn, and she gives Jonathan a second chance to achieve his dream by speaking out on his behalf and showing his game tape to her uncle, a college recruiter.

A jilted teen suspected of being the woman in a viral video engaging in an ill-fated attempt to set her ex-beau's car on fire was arrested by Florida police on Saturday, The Washington Post reported.
A security camera caught Carmen Chamblee, 19, trying to set her ex-boyfriend's car ablaze, officials said. She's been charged with second-degree arson.
The problem, however, was that it turned out the car didn't belong to her former lover.
The incident occurred on Aug. 28 and video of the arson spread like wildfire around the Internet.
Chamblee allegedly told Clearwater police she believed the car belong to her ex-boyfriend, not Thomas Jennings, the car's actual owner. Jennings' roommate saw the vehicle in flames.
"He came running in the house saying my car was on fire," Jennings told WFTS. "We ran out there. He had a pot of water trying to get it to go out. It was too much."
It's unclear if Jennings and Chamblee had had any prior contact or why she believed that car to be her ex's.

Research goals
In my research on emotional intelligence, I study how individuals and group can leverage these abilities to improve their performance. The results suggest that emotional intelligence predicts important criteria, such as the emergence of leaders and levels of job performance, over and above other abilities and traits. The findings lend credence to the notion that what it means to be smart should be revised to include emotional abilities alongside cognitive abilities. On a practical note, the findings reveal the importance of legitimizing emotional abilities by formally assessing and training them in organizations.
For an introduction to this area of research, see:
Côté, S. (2014). Emotional intelligence in organizations. Annual Review of Organizational Psychology and Organizational Behavior, 1, 459-488.

So earlier this year I, along with nearly 100 different artists in Manchester applied for a Jerwood Fellowship with Manchester International Festival 2017 and can happily say that I got it!!
You can read all about it on the link below! And I do feel a huge sense of achievement! I'm excited that I am working with award-winning company Theatre-Rites, which is a field leader in the creation of experimental theatre for children.
Acclaimed nationally and internationally, their touring productions and site responsive works stir the imagination and stimulate thought. They specifically promote understanding and enjoyment of 'object-led' theatre, celebrating the power of visuals, puppetry and animation by working in genuine collaboration with designers, visual artists, film-makers, puppeteers, musicians, composers, actors and dancers.
Co-commissioned by Manchester International Festival, Theatre-Rites, Z-Arts and the Ruhrtriennale Festival, the premiere of the site-specific production THE WELCOMING PARTY for the 2017 Manchester International Festival will be exploring how we welcome new arrivals and the stories they have to tell. But that's another blog post! Read about my fellowship and the amazing cohort on this link below! X

The PNGV (The Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles) project was started with the goal of creating a car that would get 80 miles a gallon. The project has come under criticism from some environmental groups who argue that the Detroit automakers are dragging their feet as Japanese car companies introduce vehicles with these higher mileage systems.
Click here to watch the video »
FRED DE SAM LAZARO: Cars are often the targets of antipollution crusades, and traditionally, car makers and the Environmental Protection Agency are on opposite sides of the fence. But in 1993, the Clinton administration brought Detroit's three auto makers together with the federal government in the partnership for a new generation of vehicles known as PNGV
PRESIDENT CLINTON: (September 29, 1993) Our long-term goal is to develop affordable, attractive cars that are up to three times more fuel efficient than today's cars — three times.
Goal: an 80-mile-per-gallon car
FRED DE SAM LAZARO: The goal of PNGV Was to build a clean-burning, 80-mile- per-gallon car in ten years. Carmakers have long tried to use batteries to boost fuel efficiency. This 1914 electric Sedan was owned by Henry Ford's wife, Clara. The big challenge has been making an economical battery that can run a car as long as a tank of gasoline and be quickly recharged. Detroit's only recent foray, the battery-powered G.M. E.V. One, was recently suspended after failing to generate much consumer interest.
SPOKESMAN: This might not be that far off.
FRED DE SAM LAZARO: So the PNGV Auto makers pursued a hybrid, combining a battery with a conventional engine. The hybrids use an electronic system to switch between the two sources for the best performance and efficiency, and use the engine to recharge the battery.
BILL POWERS, Vice President, Ford Motor Company: What you see here is basically a modern small diesel engine, which would be the internal combustion part of our process.
FRED DE SAM LAZARO: Ford vice president Bill Powers said his company's concept or experimental car, called the Prodigy, has numerous other modifications– cameras instead of rear-view mirrors to lessen wind resistance, and aluminum instead of steel, all of which could bring an eventual production model close to the 80-mile-per-gallon target.
BILL POWERS: We wanted the package of a Taurus, which we consider to be a mid-size family sedan. Yet this is almost 1,000 pounds lighter.
FRED DE SAM LAZARO: The PNGV companies and their experimental cars– Ford with its Prodigy, GM the Precept, and Daimler-Chrysler with the ESX 2, came to Washington late last March for a progress report. Although production cars are still some years off, Daimler- Chrysler's Jim Holden was upbeat.
JIM HOLDEN, President, Daimler/Chrysler: We can eventually create new vehicles with the size and the features our customers want, and the remarkable fuel economy that we've put on display here, and with your support, we're working very hard to do just exactly that.
FRED DE SAM LAZARO: However, none of the three carmakers in the partnership will be first to bring a hybrid car to the market. That distinction goes to Japan's Honda.
ANNOUNCER: Introducing America's first gasoline-electric hybrid, the Insight, from Honda.
FRED DE SAM LAZARO: The Insight made its American debut late last year. A two-seater powered by a small gasoline engine and battery system that achieves about 70 miles-per-gallon. And this fall, Toyota will be first to offer a five-passenger hybrid. The company has already sold about 30,000 Prius models in Japan. Toyota's John McCandless showed us a Japanese street version of the gasoline electric sedan, which he said should get about 50 miles-per-gallon.
JOHN McCANDLESS, Toyota: And as I pull away from the light here, I pull away on electric power. As I put my foot down, and I accelerate, the internal combustion engine starts. It has regenerative braking so when I stop here, or slow down for a light, the power generated by the brakes goes back into the batteries.

Avondale & Kedvale Water Main Replacement
Please be aware that starting in July, Department of Water Management crews will begin to install a new water main along Avondale from Irving Park to Kedvale and along Kedvale from Avondale to Grace. The old water main dates back to 1891 and needs to be replaced.
With crews working in the street, they may close or limit traffic for safety reasons. However, residents will always be able to reach their homes or businesses. Outside of working hours, a travel lane will be left open for local traffic only.
"No Parking" signs will be posted as needed during work hours (generally 7 am to 4 pm). Parking outside of those hours will be allowed, but cars will need to be moved by the start of the next workday. Crews will try to preserve as much parking as possible.
My office and the Department of Water understand that construction always involves inconveniences and noise. Crews will do everything possible to maintain residents' quality of life throughout these projects and will conduct themselves as good and thoughtful neighbors in the course of their presence on the street.
If you would like to receive regular email updates about the project, please register for the WaterALERT program online. Simply enter your name, email address, and the project identification number. The project identification number for this water main replacement is 1701022.
By signing up for the WaterALERT emails, you will be notified as the project enters each new construction phase – from mobilization of equipment onto the site, to the installation of new pipes, to the final restoration of the street.
Should you have any questions or concerns, you can either ask the construction foreman on the project site, email my office, or call the DWM Office of Public Affairs at 312-744-6635.
Thank you for your ongoing patience as these important infrastructure improvements are completed.
Street Resurfacing Plans for This Year
With construction season in full swing, I wanted to update you on the streets tentatively planned for resurfacing this year.
Those include 3900 N. Lamon, 5500-5600 N Luna, 5900 W. Strong , 5100 W. Strong, 5100 W. Winona, 5400 N. Long, 5700-5900 N. Mulligan, 4200 N Lamon, and 4800 W. Dakin. This is in addition to streets being resurfaced due to water or sewer work, and those streets left over from last year's budget.
Please be patient ask crews complete this important work this construction season, and please report pot hole locations to my office or 311.
Public Artwork Meeting for Addison and Irving Park Blue Line Stations Scheduled for June 12
The community is invited to attend a public meeting to provide input on the design of new public artwork at the Addison and Irving Park Blue Line stations on Monday, June 12, from 6:00-7:30 PM at the Independence Park Field House, 3945 N. Springfield Avenue.
Francesco Simeti was selected by the Chicago Transit Board to create a site-specific installation at the Addison Blue Line station. He is known for creating thought provoking imagery using wallpapers, sculptures, and 3D collage. His work has been featured both nationally and internationally – including in Brooklyn, London, Milan, Finland, Rome, and more.
Dan Devening was selected to create the artwork installation at the Irving Park Line station. Devening is a curator, artist, and Adjunct Professor of painting at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Since the mid 1980's, his paintings and works on paper have been featured nationally and internationally.
The installation of the new artwork at both stations will add value to the station, community, and enhance the experience of daily commuters. The anticipated installation date is 18 months from the community meeting. I hope you will join me in providing input to guide the direction of both of these projects.
Host an International Young Professional or Student
Do you enjoy showing guests around Chicago? Want to get your kids more globally-engaged? Consider becoming a homestay host.

Help Homeless Veterans by Donating Basic Household Items & Toiletries
My office is partnering with Operation Help-A-Hero for the second annual donation drive.

All donations will be delivered to the United States Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA)/ The VA will then distribute materials to qualifying veterans in need.
New, store bought items that will be collected include:

- Kitchen & Cleaning Items such as plastic kitchen trash cans, Windex, Pine Sol, dish washing liquid, dishcloths, sponges, mops, buckets, brooms, dustpans, and paper towels; and

President's farewell message-----
Being the Cleveland Chapter president for the last 2-years was rewarding with a great deal of fun. I apologize if I did not get a chance to meet you or have a conversation with you at one of our events or chapter meetings.
I am proud of the team that I served with to help me navigate in a way that benefited me to enhance my career as well as increase my network of new friends and colleagues.
My dear fellow members I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the last two years of being your chapter president. One of the lessons learned from the CAVS loss in this years NBA championship is that when you are part of something that involves a group of people as the engine, it's the team of parts that makes it successful. Thank you TEAM!
Going forward---- your new President Anca Amalei will have an even better team behind her. I pass the president's chair to Anca- Please welcome her.

5th Cell developed the action puzzle game Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure which was released in 2013, the most recent of the five games of the Scribblenauts series. The game which can be played on PC, Wii U or Nintendo 3DS brings Maxwell, an "ordinary" boy who owns a magical notepad to the center of players' attention. Whatever is written in the notebook can come to life and participate in the story. The missions are varied and depend on the introduction of these features, interlaced with the innovative addition of the DC Universe heroes and supervillains.
Both the main characters and the objects can be recreated and personalized with adjectives, e.g. fiery, zombie, flying, gore, etc. The game's locations include The Batcave, Gotham City, Atlantis and many others, which allow players to be versatile and stretch over a period of almost fourteen hours of fun. The minimum system requirements are:
AMD Atholon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4000+ or better. Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 2.0GHz or better.
Windows XP or higher
Video Card:
ATI Radeon X1800 or better/ NVidia GeForce 7800 or better
Sound Card:
Free Disk Space:
How to play? Go wacko! Partake on an epic voyage with Maxwell and let your imagination roam free! Whether you're dead serious or just a plain jester, try out the game, it won't let you down!

Just as virtually every machinery company has jumped on the utility vehicle bandwagon, Kubota charges out ahead with an innovative new concept that carries more people or more cargo, depending on your needs. The all-new RTV1140CPX features a transformation system that quickly converts from one- to two-row seating, which allows the operator to choose between passenger capacity or best-in-class cargo volume. And there's no compromise in safety, thanks to the RTV's OSHA-compliant roll-over protective structure.
"The RTV provides exceptional comfort and safety while accommodating four adults, as well as unmatched cargo configurations, capacity and convenience," says Dan Muramoto, product manager for Kubota. Muramoto says this RTV will have broad appeal, meeting the needs of ranchers and farmers, property owners, facility managers — anyone who works in the great outdoors.
The list of Kubota accessories for their utility vehicle lineup is long. Operators can add a canopy, bed liner, mud guards, heavy-duty springs and struts, auxiliary lighting kits, and any of a number of other amenities that will increase the vehicle's comfort and utility.
The RTV1140CPX 4-wheel drive utility vehicle is powered by a fuel-miserly 24.8-horsepower, three-cylinder Kubota diesel engine and features wet disc brakes and hydrostatic power steering. The transformable vehicle also features Kubota's new triple-range, variable hydro transmission that delivers power and torque for any situation, easy speed and direction changes, and smooth dynamic braking. The maximum cargo load is 1,102 pounds, with a towing capacity of 1,300 pounds. A front guard and hydraulic bed lift come standard.
The RTV1140CPX is currently listed for less than $16,000. Look for these versatile vehicles at a Kubota dealer near you — you can find one using Kubota's Dealer Locator.
This Kubota is perfect, for those with more money than sense!
Oh, I agree with all of the above. The cost of that little trecker is about a quarter of the value of my home. I could do better with a small pickup and a good hitch.
Save a ton of Federal Reserve Fiat Notes and buy an old JEEP. We have 2 old JEEP CJ-5's, a 63 4 cyl one with a soft top and a 71 with a Buick V-6 and a hard top. The 63 was 750, the 71 under 3000 each including repairs. Parts are easy to get, they are easy to work on, you can drive them to the store for food or feed, can seat 4 safely and you can just go to the gas station, no need to bring it home in tanks. Way more useful all around.
If they add lights & windshield wiper to make it road-legal, and then reduce the price by half, they'd really have something that would be very popular - even to us over 65 beach-combers!
At the prices they want for those "utility vehicles" I could buy a decent used, small 4 wheel drive pickup truck like a Ford ranger (or some other brand), and even a used Jeep. Then you would have money left over for a new trailer to go with it! It will have a heater, be weather tight, and might even have air conditioning! I can also drive it on the road legally, something those "utility vehicle" are not capable of for that price!

Working together to progress alternative approaches to animal-testing
|News details
|Oct 28, 2015
|Contact: JRC IHCP COMMUNICATION
Meeting of EURL ECVAM with its stakeholders and regulatory advisory network. 20-21 October 2015, Casa Don Guanella, Ispra
The European Union Reference Laboratory for Alternatives to Animal Testing (EURL ECVAM) hosted a meeting for the members of the Preliminary Assessment of Regulatory Relevance (PARERE) network on Tuesday 20th October. The network discussed recent consultations on the regulatory relevance of proposed alternative approaches, as well as identifying priority areas for the reduction, replacement and refinement (3Rs) of the use of animals in safety testing and biomedical research.
A joint one day meeting of PARERE and the EURL ECVAM Stakeholder Forum (ESTAF) followed in the afternoon, which included stakeholder organisations from academia, industry and civil society/animal welfare. Issues tackled during the meeting included the development, evaluation, acceptance and use of integrated approaches to testing and assessment (IATA). IATA are increasingly incorporating newly developed in vitro and computational methods and, as such, offer a useful framework to reduce or replace animal testing.
EURL ECVAM also used this occasion to explain its role in the Commission's response to the European Citizens' Initiative "Stop Vivisection" and how it intends to contribute to the actions identified in the Communication. These include a mapping of Three Rs knowledge sources which will include a public survey to be launched in the coming weeks. A key objective is to identify opportunities for better knowledge sharing across disciplines and sectors to drive more efficient development and uptake of alternative approaches.
The latest EURL ECVAM status report on the development, validation and regulatory acceptance of alternative methods and approaches (2015) has just been published and is freely available for download. EURL ECVAM has also very recently published its report on assessing the combined effects of chemicals using non-animal methods.

On Thursday, July 21, 2016, The Center for Entrepreneurship & Commercialization (CEC) held a session as part of the NewCo festival, currently hosted throughout North America, Europe, and Latin America. NewCo festivals have the focus of a business conference, the feel of a music festival, and the model of an artist open studio. (NewCo.co) Participants have spent months signing up to visit specific organizations they wish to explore. NewCo offers an opportunity for attendees to gather inside the company's home space to learn more about entrepreneurial best practices, to network with like-minded professionals, and to engage directly with innovative, local companies.
The CEC hosted over 40 attendees from a variety of sectors. Neighboring university representatives, local companies offering services to startups (4iNNO, Power Within Consulting, Prism Marketing, and more), and entrepreneurial-minded managers from established corporations including Cincinnati Bell and Procter & Gamble were among attendees.
This session explored ways in which outside individuals and organizations can engage with UC on an entrepreneurial level. Thomas Dalziel, Executive Director of UC Center for Entrepreneurship & Commercialization (CEC) and Lew Goldfarb, Director of UC College of Law Entrepreneurship and Community Development Clinic (ECDC) facilitated an informative open dialogue on the resources available and services offered to outside entrepreneurs and business professionals from both for-profit and non-profit organizations.
Some of the highlighted resources included the UC SBI Program, the Entrepreneurship Volunteer Program (EVP), and the HireUC portal in collaboration with the CEC E3 Program. Lew Goldfarb also discussed benefits of the UC College of Law ECDC, a resource for companies to get free legal services.
"If you are seeking student talent, affordable business consulting, and opportunities to expand your professional network then the UC CEC has opportunities for you. Contributing to the growth of the #STARTUPCINCY community, developing mutually beneficial partnerships, and facilitating the success of local entrepreneurs are key priorities of the CEC," Thomas Dalziel, Executive Director of UC CEC.

Defending Dignity: A Manual for NHRIs on Monitoring Economic, Social and Cultural Rights10 Aug 2015
This manual outlines practical steps that NHRIs can take to monitor and promote respect for economic, social and cultural rights (updated 2018)
Graphic: Men packing ice at night on Delhi street
NHRIs in South East Asia are taking part in a program to learn strategies to effectively monitor socio-economic policies and development plans.
Despite significant economic growth in recent decades, poverty levels in the Asia Pacific remain unacceptably high.
Governments in the region have committed to progressively realise economic, social and cultural (ESC) rights and to advance the Global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
However, these commitments are yet to become a reality for the 1.7 billion people in the region living on less than two dollars a day. Their lives are continuously threatened by lack of food, risk of disease, hazardous work and precarious living conditions.
National human rights institutions across the Asia Pacific have recognised the need for a human rights-based approach to the Sustainable Development Goals.
However, for such an approach to be meaningfully implemented, governments must be held to account when their development plans or socio-economic policies cause, or fail to address, inequalities and human rights deprivations.
Effective policy monitoring is essential for ensuring accountability. It can highlight when policies cause, continue or worsen inequalities and deprivations.

This manual outlines practical steps that NHRIs can take to monitor and promote respect for economic, social and cultural rights (updated 2018)
The APF in partnership with the Center for Economic and Social Rights will deliver a blended learning course on monitoring ESC rights for NHRIs in South East Asia, running from 21 November – 27 January 2017.
This blended learning course seeks to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to effectively monitor socio-economic policies and development plans from a human rights perspective.
Through a collaborative learning process, participants will build on their existing expertise, share experiences with others, and deepen their understanding of key tools and techniques for policy monitoring.
Date: 18 November 2016
This blended learning is being delivered as part of an ongoing partnership with the Danish Institute of Human Rights, funded by the European Union, to strengthen NHRIs and their capacity to protect and promote human rights.

WOD 4: The Serpent
Brought to you by Norse Strength
All Athletes start on the start mat, at the call of 3,2,1 GO, all 4 athletes will enter the workout floor to the 1st quadrant where their serpent will be. They pick up the serpent and perform 20 Squats as a team. They then drop the Serpent to the floor and complete 10 Serpent Burpees, followed by 5 Serpent clean and jerks. Once they complete all 3 movements, they move the Serpent to the next quadrant for the next set. Once they complete all 4 sets, all 4 athletes must run to the start mat where the judge will stop the time.
- Serpent Squats - They must all reach full squat depth, and stand up to full extension. It does not have to be perfectly synchronized, but they all have to be on the same rep. Being in sync will help the repetitions be easier for the team, but it is not required.
- Serpent Burpees- All athletes must be on the floor with their chest touching the ground at the same time. They all must jump over the Serpent with both feet, no stepping over. No synchronization required on the jump, again they all must have chest touching the floor at the same time. If someone stands up to early and only 3 out of 4 athletes have chest on the ground then a no rep will be given.
- Serpent Clean and Jerks: The Serpent must be brought up to the shoulders of all 4 team members, go overhead to the other shoulder, then to the floor. No lockout overhead required.
WOD 5: Bonnie and Clyde
Brought to you by Best Bar Ever
All Athletes start on the start mat, at the call of 3,2,1 GO, a Male/Female Pair will enter the workout floor. They complete a 30 Calorie Bike with 1 person working at a time, then move on to the bar and complete 15 sychronized thrusters. Once those are complete the pair move to the pullup bar and complete the reps for Toes to Bar or Knees to elbows for Scaled. Followed again by synchronized thrusters, and finished up on the bike. Once the next pair completes the same thing, they must run to the start mat, once all athletes are back on the start mat time will stop.
- Assault Bike - The Assault Bike can be setup with their preference before the workout begins. The judge will set it to Zero Calories before the workout begins. 1 person working at a time, and both athletes must stay at the bike until 30 calories is achieved.
- Synchronized Thrusters: The thrusters do not necessarily have to be full synchronized, each team member must just be on the same rep, no partner can be ahead of the other in the reps. Thruster standard is passing through the depth of a full squat, then coming up in one smooth motion getting the bar overhead, no redipping or thruster jerks allowed.
- Toes to Bar/Knees to Elbows- Fully extended at the bottom with both feet passing the horizontal plane of the bar. Both feet must make contact between the hands at the same time to the bar. For the Knees to elbows, the knees must make contact with the arms between the elbow and the armpit, with both feet passing the horizontal plane of the rig and arms reaching full extension in between each rep.
