Some refer to it as the pinnacle of Canadian singer/composer Loreena McKennitt's career. Others know it as the album that includes her worldwide hit, "The Mummers' Dance." On the cusp of its 20th anniversary, Loreena's sixth album The Book of Secrets is being pressed on vinyl for the first time. Recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World studios in England, The Book Of Secrets was written and researched all over the world, and, following its release in 1997, would go on to sell several million copies around the globe. It boasts a cast of over two dozen musical collaborators, and the eight songs contained therein lead the listener on unexpected journeys. Follow the music from ancient Byzantium to a puppet-maker's theatre in Sicily, or from the rocky island of Skellig Michael once inhabited by Irish monks in the Dark Ages to Venice and the journeys of Marco Polo, or from the tragic narrative of "The Highwayman" to the thunder of hooves across the Caucasus and the echoes of Dante's words found, unexpectedly, in a train journey across Siberia.

News > Report confirms climate still heading in wrong direction
It's now official, 2010 was one of the two warmest years on record. So says the 2010 State of the Climate report, issued by US govt department the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in coordination with the American Meteorological Society (AMS). The report -this year's was compiled by 368 scientists from 45 countries- provides a detailed, annual update on global climate indicators, notable climate events and other climate information from every continent.
This year's report tracked 41 climate indicators including temperature of the lower and upper atmosphere, precipitation, greenhouse gases, humidity, cloud cover, ocean temperature and salinity, sea ice, glaciers, and snow cover. "We're continuing to closely track these indicators because it is quite clear that the climate of the past cannot be assumed to represent the climate of the future. These indicators are vital for understanding and making reliable projections of future climate," said Thomas R. Karl, L.H.D, director of NOAA's National Climatic Data Centre.
Last year was marked by important climate systems like the El Niño-Southern Oscillation and the Arctic Oscillation, significantly affecting regional climates and contributed to many of the world's significant weather events in 2010. Some of the climate issues flagged by the study were:
Three major datasets show 2010 as one of the two warmest years since official record-keeping began in the late 19th century. Annual average temperatures in the Arctic continued to rise at about twice the rate of the lower latitudes.
Arctic sea ice shrank to the third smallest area on record, and the Greenland ice sheet melted at the highest rate since at least 1958. Alpine glaciers shrank for the 20th consecutive year.
Oceans were saltier than average in areas of high evaporation and fresher than average in areas of high precipitation, suggesting that the water cycle is intensifying.
Greenhouse Gases: Major greenhouse gas concentrations continued to rise. Carbon dioxide increased by 2.60 parts per million (ppm), which is more than the average annual increase seen from 1980-2010.
Each of the indicators used consists of thousands of measurements from multiple datasets allowing scientists to identify overall trends. So far analysis of the data has shown a continuation of the long-term trends consistent with global climate change. The report is avaliable online from the NOAA Satellite and Information Service

CharismaNews – April 24, 2017
Ethiopia's northern Tigray State is considering adopting a new law that would restrict Christian activities to within official church compounds, rendering illegal the activities of smaller churches that do not own their own buildings and gather in houses.
The law, if passed, would most affect Christians from outside the Ethiopian Orthodox Church because any church that wanted to have its own land would need to prove that it had at least 6,000 members—a greater number than the total population of non-Orthodox Christians in the state.
The law would also ban Christians from evangelizing outside of church compounds.
Local church leaders have raised their concerns about the law with the state government but have yet to receive a reply.
A similar law was recently ratified in neighboring Amhara State which, together with Tigray, is home to most members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and local church leaders fear other states will copy the move.
Comment: John Durrad http://www.setapartbytruth.org
This of course is being considered in Ethiopia and not in America, the UK, Europe or Australia. However, if they pull this off, and the way the world is viewing Christian religions, one can imagine that it wouldn't be long before a similar ban could be enforced throughout the world.
"Then they that gladly received his word were baptised: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls." Acts 2:41
God's New Testament Church started with about 3,000 people including the disciples. If this type of ban had been in place then, the New Testament Church would not have begun. Of course, that would not have been the case because God's Will would have been carried out no matter what laws man put in place.
We in God's Church today can be reassured that whatever happens we as a Church will endure up until the that time that Christ returns and we will be changed and the kingdom of God will spread throughout the earth.

چکیده انگلیسی
The aim of this paper is to investigate whether the dynamic integration across a large set of developed and emerging Islamic stock markets allows potential diversification benefits in tranquil and turmoil periods. Using the multivariate cointegration test, we find the presence of long-run equilibrium relationship among Islamic stock markets of similar economic grouping. While, Islamic stock markets from different economic grouping are partially segmented. Empirical results of estimated Vector Error Correction Model provide a lowest level of short run integration among the economic grouping of European-Asian emerging markets, MENA-Latin American and European-Latin American Islamic stock markets. In addition, the level of integration and causality relations among Islamic stock markets tends to change over time, mainly during periods characterized by financial crises. Overall, our results suggest that Shariah compliant stocks could offer potential diversification benefits by considering different economic grouping such as that in developed and emerging countries.

I have spoken sometimes about what to do to avoid or reduce the effects of a hangover as possible before you start drinking. Today we put ourselves in a different position: one in which there is no remedy for the prevention, because we drank until we fell to the ground and we have woken up with a hangover three pairs of noses. What to do in this situation?
Although it sounds paradoxical, we'll ask you to continue drinking, but not alcohol. What you drink is water, lots of water. This will help you keep well hydrated. You know what they say about alcohol when you are thirsty? It is very real, it is not advisable to drink because it causes dehydration in the body and this just taking us its toll. With the hangover we assume that we have drunk a lot and therefore we have to counteract the effect of drinking water. They also serve the sports drinks that contain electrolytes, in case you will get tired of the taste of water and prefer something with lemon.
If you want to speed up the recovery process you can do is take an aspirin or some similar type of medicine without a prescription, as an ibuprofen. Note that it is never good to abuse drugs, so if you can avoid, that better it is. Also, remember that your time is limited and that the same effects are gone when you head still hurts if the surf is very hard.
From there, as you continue with the water, which must do it is to rest as much as possible and not feel pressure to the effect disappears. If you need a few hours sleep, you can do it quietly. But before it is better to eat something. There are many things that I can come in handy in this regard, although the hangover imagine that you will not crave the most of them.
We would stay a sandwich with sausage, a fried egg with a piece of toast, a banana for potassium, some fries or fruit. In terms of food there are many things that I can serve and would be difficult to list them all. You can consult a dish specifically for Google to see if recommended. If you have no desire to cook at home and you count with crackers, it is also a good choice, unless you do not feel hungry for the taste, after the hangover may not be the most delicious in the world.

British born, Berlin based DJ, producer and sound designer Tommy Four Seven, or known to some as just T47, is at the front of the new generation of Techno artists, creating his trademark deep and uncompromising sounds. Learning to DJ from a young age, at 17, Tommy held a 2 year residency at Fire Club, London whilst appearing at legendary venues such as Fabric, The End and Turnmills.
Producing was also an early interest and Tommy soon began releasing on David Duriez's, Brique Rouge and Kill Brique label, before launching his own imprint called Shooting Elvis. After studying Music Technology in London, Tommy moved to Berlin and has been steadily building his catalogue of strong, moody and hypnotic tracks such as his 2009 hit, 'Surma' on Speedy J's Electric Deluxe and more recently, 'Sor' on CLR, not forgetting the before mysterious 'Bauhaus' project with Chris Liebing.
Tommy's approach to music is unlike a musician. Instead, he prefers to sound design, recording and sculpting elements into deep engaging atmospheres. An impressive example of this extraordinary production ethos is his upcoming debut artist album "Primate". It will be released on CLR in March 2011, which looks set to be his landmark year.
When Chris Liebing first listened to it, he was immediately fascinated and amazed. This different avenue of Techno seemed to be perfectly in line with the new, slightly more free-spirited and experimental CLR philosophy. That is why apart from offering to release the record, he even got involved with the finishing touches of the production, helping to make (as Tommy called it) "the bass sound mega-hot". "Primate" is a unique and uncompromising debut-album of a young and promising Techno pioneer and Armed 3 & Ratu are the first single tracks out of this album to give you the taste.

Reducing transport activities, improving technologies and relocating traffic sources from crowded areas are some of the measures for better urban planning that can help Delhi combat rising air pollution, a leading health and medical research institute said on Friday.
As residents in Delhi and its suburbs continue to suffer from worsening air quality, The George Institute for Global Health in a statement said air pollution has become "one of the major public health problems in India, especially in the northern regions".
It said "sustainable public health solutions" were needed, describing pollution as the "largest risk factor for death".
"In fact, pollution kills more people than HIV-AIDS, TB and malaria put together. In economic terms, the global cost of pollution in terms of hours not worked, premature deaths, health spending and eroded quality of life has been estimated at Rs 26,760 crore a year," said the statement by The George Institute India Executive Director Professor Vivekanand Jha.
The institute warned that pollution affects all stages of life and reduces the number of years lived in full health by aggravating asthma attacks, eye and skin disorders, and increasing the risk of development of high blood pressure, obesity, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, psychiatric disorders and frailty.
"We need better urban planning starting with proper land-use assessment, reducing major transport activity close to communities, relocating traffic sources (roads, airports) from crowded areas, avoiding the mixing of industrial and residential areas, making better roads, reducing uncovered areas in cities by planting more grass and plants, improving transport technologies, and increasing awareness of the societal burden imposed by air pollution," the institute suggested.
It also suggested cutting down the usage of private and government vehicles, shutting industries that cause emission and heavy watering of the dust-paths alongside roads as a few simple steps to fight the "current public health emergency situation in Delhi.

PCF special edition R2
Men's health and riding a bicycle for protracted periods has long since been a 'delicate' issue and one that, whilst having been the subject of increasing study over recent years, has been the raison d'être behind our designs since our original model nearly ten years ago. When men's cycling enjoyment is no longer restricted by perineal (crotch) pain and discomfort and they're free to ride as far and as long as their legs and fitness level will take them, then we've achieved what we've always set out to accomplish.
And it's with this mission in mind that we're proud to add our support to the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) with our special edition R2 saddle. Based in the United States, PCF is the world's leading philanthropic organization funding and accelerating prostate cancer research. PCF has raised more than $615 million to provide funding to more than 2,000 research programs at nearly 200 cancer centres and universities worldwide.
Strikingly finished in the trademark blue and white and available at exactly the same retail price as the existing black and 'country tan' models, every one of these saddles sold will directly generate a worthy donation to the foundation of UK£5-00 (about US$7-60 at today's exchange rate).
So here's an opportunity to rejuvenate your cycling enjoyment and at the same time, like us announce your support for the PCF's invaluable work. The PCF special edition RIDO R2 saddle is available to order directly from our website, www.rido-cyclesaddles.com, and for those in South-East Asia there's www.dahonpro.com based in Singapore.
Please feel free to email us with any of your questions or for more information and advice: email@example.com
Happy cycling!

"I had prostate cancer surgery in January. Was cleared to ride at the end of April. Purchased an R2 last fall when problems started and have been riding it over the past two months. Only riding about 20 miles at a time. I enjoy the R2 and feel that it keeps the perineal area off the saddle. When I get on a conventional saddle it feels like stuff is getting smushed."

Boston, MA, May 12, 1003 — Senator Edward M. Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy today presented former Governor Roy Barnes (D) of Georgia, former Governor David Beasley (R) of South Carolina, and former State Representative Dan Ponder, Jr. (R) of Georgia with the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award at a ceremony at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. Former Georgia Governor Roy Barnes and former South Carolina Governor David Beasley were honored with the prestigious award for political courage for the decisions of conscience each man made when seeking to resolve his state's divisive political debate over the public display of the Confederate battle emblem. Dan Ponder, Jr., a one-time Georgia State Representative, was honored with the Profile in Courage Award for his act of political and personal courage that led to the passage of Georgia's first hate-crimes legislation. "Today's honorees' devotion to our country's fundamental values has been expressed in courageous deeds and words that are an example to all of us," said Senator Kennedy. "We hope that this award will continue to encourage young men and women to enter public service and demonstrate their own dedication to high principle." "President Kennedy greatly admired those political leaders who had the courage to make decisions of conscience without fear of the consequences," said Caroline Kennedy, president of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation. "Governor Barnes and Governor Beasley demonstrated outstanding leadership in asking their constituents to reconsider the symbol of the Confederate battle emblem. Their courage in stepping forward to address this controversial and divisive issue should not go unrecognized. "Georgia State Representative Dan Ponder proves that one voice can truly make a difference," Ms. Kennedy continued. "By articulating his personal experience, and finding the courage to do so, he empowered others to act courageously and do the right thing. Today, his words against hate continue to inspire people around the globe. It is an honor to recognize and applaud these three outstanding individuals whose unselfish contributions to public service and courageous acts of leadership have advanced their states and enriched our nation." The John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award is presented annually to an elected official who has withstood strong opposition from constituents, interest groups or adversaries to follow what he or she believes is the right course of action. Past recipients of the award include former U.S. President Gerald Ford, U.S. Senator John McCain, U.S. Senator Russell Feingold, U.S. Representative John Lewis, California State Senator Hilda Solis, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, and America's public servants who responded to the tragic events of September 11. The award is named for President Kennedy's 1957 Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Profiles in Courage, which recounts the stories of eight U.S. senators who risked their careers to fight for what they believed in. The Kennedy Library Foundation created the Profile in Courage Award in 1989 to honor President Kennedy's commitment and contribution to public service. It is presented in May in celebration of President Kennedy's May 29th birthday. Throughout the South, the Confederate battle emblem continues to generate intense political conflict, pitting those who see it as a symbol of slavery and racism against those who see it as a tribute to southern tradition and history. During the past decade, several southern states have become embroiled in flag controversies, and a number of southern public officials have attempted in various ways to shrink or eliminate the presence of the Confederate emblem from state officialdom. Former Governor Roy Barnes (D-Georgia) In 1956, less than two years after the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education, the Georgia state legislature adopted a new state flag bearing the Confederacy battle emblem. In January 2001, Georgia Governor Roy Barnes sought to diminish the presence of the divisive symbol. He won the legislature's approval for a new state flag, which would dramatically reduce the Confederate emblem's visual presence on the flag. Barnes went ahead with the flag change despite the likelihood that it would alienate his rural white supporters, who his polls showed were vehemently opposed to the change by a margin of 3-1. After the legislature adopted the new flag, those who were opposed to the change erupted in a fit of outrage at Barnes. According to news accounts, supporters of the Confederate battle emblem staged protests at his public appearances, disrupted meetings, and threatened his family, and even his life. Barnes's opponent, state legislator Sonny Perdue, made the flag a central campaign issue and promised voters a public referendum on the new flag. While the flag controversy was not the only issue in the race, it was likely a decisive one and contributed to Barnes's defeat in 2002. Former Governor David Beasley (R-South Carolina) Since the early 1960s, South Carolina flew the Confederate flag over its state house, not as a state flag but to some as a symbol of South Carolina's history and to others as a symbol of defiance of the civil rights movement. In 1996, Governor Beasley was compelled to tackle the controversial flag issue. A series of church burnings and the racially motivated shooting of three black teenagers caused grave concern about racial division across the state. As a first step toward uniting South Carolinians, Governor Beasley delivered a televised speech in which he asked his fellow citizens to help pressure lawmakers to remove the flag. He said: "I'm asking that we come together as a people, to honor and understand each other, to forge a ministry of reconciliation that extends to every citizen…The Bible tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves. It is time for the races to compromise on the Confederate flag to show Judeo-Christian love that will bring the races together." Governor Beasley worked toward compromise, suggesting the flag, once removed from the dome, be placed by a Confederate memorial on state grounds. But he was met with hostility, protests, and lawsuits, it was immediate and extreme, and from those of his own party. During his term, the Confederate flag continued to wave above the statehouse and he was defeated by an opponent who pledged not to remove the Confederate flag from the statehouse dome. But today, the Confederate flag has come down from the South Carolina statehouse, a change made possible by Governor Beasley's first crucial call to South Carolinians for unity and tolerance. In November 1996, two years into his first term as governor of South Carolina, Republican David Beasley addressed the state in a televised speech and called for the removal of the Confederate flag from the State House dome. In the spirit of compromise, he proposed that the flag be flown beside a Confederate soldiers' monument in front of the capitol building, resurrecting a proposal that had died in the House two years before. Campaigning for governor two years earlier, Beasley said he would keep the flag above the dome. His reversal split the South Carolina Republican Party in two and generated thousands of angry letters. "Keep the Flag, Ban Beasley" bumper stickers were widely circulated, characteristic of the outcry that followed. While Beasley was the Republican incumbent in a Republican state, who presided over a booming economy, many political observers noted that his campaign for re-election was not helped by his position on the flag. In 1998, Beasley sought a second term as governor but was defeated by Democrat Jim Hodges, who promised flag supporters he would not lead the charge to take down the flag. Former State Representative Dan Ponder, Jr. (R- Georgia) On March 16, 2000, the Georgia legislature was in a bitter debate over the proposed enactment of a hate-crimes law. The House had just voted 83-82 to shelve the bill when Representative Ponder, a conservative Republican from rural southwestern Georgia who might have been expected to mount a vigorous opposition to the bill, stood up and gave an impassioned speech defending it. He had told no one of his plans to support the legislation. Representative Ponder gave his fellow lawmakers a deeply personal account of his childhood rejection of a family caretaker because she was black. In his speech, he said, "Hate is all around us. It takes shape and form in ways that are somehow so small that we don't even recognize them to begin with, until they somehow become acceptable to us. It is up to us, as parents and leaders in our communities, to take a stand and to say loudly and clearly that this is just not acceptable…I pledged to myself…that never, ever again would I look in the mirror and know that I had kept silent and let hate or prejudice or indifference negatively impact a person's life, even if I didn't know them." At the conclusion of the speech, the House, Republicans and Democrats alike, gave Representative Ponder two standing ovations and subsequently voted 116-49 to outlaw and punish all hate crimes. Georgia Governor Roy Barnes signed the measure into law at a synagogue scarred by swastika-painting vandals. Described by one recipient as the "Nobel in Government," the Profile in Courage Award is accompanied by a sterling-silver lantern representing a beacon of hope. The lantern was designed by Edwin Schlossberg, Inc. and crafted by Tiffany & Co. Roy Barnes, David Beasley, and Dan Ponder, Jr. were chosen as recipients of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation's prestigious award for political courage by a distinguished bipartisan committee of national, political, and community leaders. John Seigenthaler, founder of the First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University, chairs the twelve-member Profile in Courage Award Committee. Committee members are U.S. Senator Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi); Marian Wright Edelman, president of the Children's Defense Fund; Al Hunt, Executive Editor of the Wall Street Journal; U.S. Representative Nancy Johnson (R-Connecticut); Elaine Jones, director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund; Caroline Kennedy, president of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation; U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-Massachusetts); Paul G. Kirk, Jr., chairman of the board of directors of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation; David McCullough, presidential historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author; U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-Maine); and Patricia M. Wald, former judge of the International Criminal Tribunal at the Hague. John Shattuck, chief executive officer of the Kennedy Library Foundation, staffs the Committee. Mr. Shattuck is a former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for democracy, human rights and labor and a former U.S. ambassador to the Czech Republic. In selecting a recipient, the Profile in Courage Award Committee considers elected officials who have demonstrated the kind of political courage described by John F. Kennedy in Profiles in Courage. In his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Kennedy wrote: "The true democracy, living and growing and inspiring, puts its faith in the people – faith that the people will not simply elect men who will represent their views ably and faithfully, but also elect men who will exercise their conscientious judgment – faith that the people will not condemn those whose devotion to principle leads them to unpopular courses, but will reward courage, respect honor and ultimately recognize right." Past recipients of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award are former U.S. Congressman Carl Elliott, Sr. of Alabama; former U.S. Congressman Charles Weltner of Georgia; former Governor of Connecticut Lowell Weicker, Jr.; former Governor of New Jersey James Florio; U.S. Congressman Henry Gonzalez of Texas; former U.S. Congressman Michael Synar of Oklahoma; former Calhoun County, Georgia School Superintendent Corkin Cherubini; Circuit Court Judge of Montgomery County, Alabama Charles Price; Garfield County, Montana Attorney Nickolas Murnion; co-recipients U.S. Senators John McCain of Arizona and Russell Feingold of Wisconsin; California State Senator Hilda Solis; former U.S. President Gerald Ford; United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan; and former Palos Heights, Illinois Mayor Dean Koldenhoven. Special Profile in Courage Awards have been presented to the Irish Peacemakers – eight political leaders of Northern Ireland and the American chairman of the peace talks – in recognition of the extraordinary political courage they demonstrated in negotiating the historic Good Friday Peace Agreement; legendary civil rights leader and U.S. Congressman John Lewis (D-GA) for lifetime achievement; and America's public servants who demonstrated extraordinary courage and heroism in response to the tragic events of September 11. The John F. Kennedy Library and Museum is a presidential library administered by the National Archives and Records Administration and supported, in part, by the Kennedy Library Foundation, a non-profit organization. The Kennedy Library and the Kennedy Library Foundation seek to promote, through educational and community programs, a greater appreciation and understanding of American politics, history, and culture, the process of governing and the importance of public service. -30- Further Information: Ann Scanlon (617) 514-1662

Joshua Harvey is the deadliest of deadly generalists. His talents are remarkably spread across many different roles spanning designer to animator to technical director to creative director. What sets him apart from the rest is the level at which he works at in each of these roles. You know that cliche saying of "jack of all trades, master of none?" Well for Josh, it's "jack of all trades, master of all trades."
In our chat we discuss: his lineage—including his brother who is also in the motion design and animation industry, his success right out of the gate covering his early days at Psyop to his time at Buck, his time freelancing and having a rep as a director, and we even take some time to geek out on video games.

Excel Combine Validation with AutoComplete
This page is an advertiser-supported excerpt of the book, Learn Excel 2007-2010 from MrExcel - 512 Excel Mysteries Solved. If you like this topic, please consider buying the entire e-book.
Combine Validation with AutoComplete
Problem: The Validation dropdown is horrible for keyboard people. You can't quickly jump to an item in the dropdown.
Strategy: Combine AutoComplete with Validation. Several viewers of the Learn Excel from MrExcel podcast sent in this idea when I complained about the lack of keyboard support for validation. Thus, I am guessing that the trick must be fairly widespread.
Say that you want to enter products in column D.
Insert several rows above the D1 heading and store the list above the heading. Set up the validation below the heading.
When someone who is a mouse person comes along, they will open the dropdown and use the mouse as usual.
Figure 1357 Validation works with the mouse.
If someone who is a keyboard person comes along, they can start typing the entry. The AutoComplete will offer an item from the list above the heading.

Mobile broadband operators should think carefully when considering their strategies, according to one expert.
Gareth Maclachlan of AdaptiveMobile has highlighted calls from the European Union (EU) for providers of mobile broadband to cut data roaming charges for customers using the service while abroad.
Some companies offering mobile broadband have considered blocking the overseas use of their service altogether so as to avoid complications over the sky-high charges often incurred by users.
But Mr Maclachlan argues against this approach, commenting: "In a competitive European market, where operators are increasingly trying to differentiate their service and the many millions of corporate subscribers are becoming increasingly international, operators surely have no choice but to ensure they maximise all mobile broadband revenue opportunities whilst offering subscribers the best possible service."
Application and operating system updates, which can often be downloaded unbeknown to a user abroad, have been highlighted by AdaptiveMobile as a major cause of data roaming charges.

THE GAME: Duke vs Michigan State
I don't usually get into college basketball until the new year... actually, to be honest, these days I don't really get into college basketball until the tournament starts in March. I'm not going to go full Grumpy Old Man and explain all the reasons why I think college basketball isn't 1/10th as exciting as it used to be. We've been over that before.
But #1 against #2 is pretty cool, so I decided to watch.
- I can't tell you exactly where the idea for this one came from... so far, this November is about as mild as it can get. It was 81º where I live today; tomorrow is forecasted to be the same. (For lunch, one of my best friends and I sat in a courtyard by his office and ate tacos; we had to move to a shaded table at one point because it was too hot in the sun.) Warm ravioli and meat sauce isn't exactly what I crave on days like today. Whatever, it still sounded good.
- I bought a pound of sweet Italian sausage links at the butcher and cooked them in my wok, then drained the fat. You don't have to do this if you don't want to - pork fat certainly tastes good - but I was only cooking for myself, I didn't feel the need for any extra fat.
- I have no idea how many different brands of marinara sauce you can buy in jars. Probably hundreds. Maybe thousands. There may be something more gourmet than Emeril's sauce, but I don't care: I really like it. (True, if it wasn't one of the only marinara sauces my butcher has for sale, I probably would not have purchased it. I still like it.) I emptied the jar into my wok, stirred in some fresh garlic and other spices, and set the burner to low, letting it simmer for one hour. I then removed it from the heat and added fresh basil.
- I boiled cheese ravioli (from a local Italian market) in salted water for a few minutes, ladled them into a bowl, and topped it with the sausage marinara and additional basil.
- And there was garlic bread. Because garlic bread is delicious.
- Dick Vitale is not calling this game. That's always a pleasant surprise.
- Just in case you're not into college basketball recruiting: Duke's freshman class includes the #1-ranked freshman in the country (Marvin Bagley III) and three other recruits in the Top 10. It's possibly the best recruiting class since the Fab Five, 26 years ago.
- I think Coach K and Tom Izzo are the two best coaches in America. Coach K's record speaks for itself; what Izzo has done in his career despite only coaching one lottery pick (Jason Richardson, 2001) is absolutely remarkable.
- Coach K on his freshmen: "I like 'em a lot." Well... good.
- Jesus, ten minutes into this game and I'm not sure the Lakers are better than either of these teams. (I'm joking... mostly.)
- Marvin Bagley somehow got injured and now he's lying on the court with his eyes closed. He's either really hurt or this is a dramatic display that rivals anything a certain longtime Laker diva ever did.
- The replay shows that he took a poke in the eye from another player's finger. That certainly looked uncomfortable, but for a minute there it looked like Bagley was having a heat attack.
- Duke had a 10-point lead. A few minutes later, Michigan State was back on top. Well-coached teams are never out of it.
- Duke shot 18 free throws in the first half; MSU shot 6. No surprises there.
- At halftime, all the announcers are talking about is college football. I guess they feel the same as I do.
- Jay Bilas just warned us to "expect the unexpected." This may be off topic, but what's your favorite nonsensical line from Road House: "Expect the unexpected," "Pain don't hurt," or "Nobody ever wins a fight"? I gotta go with "Pain don't hurt".... but let's be honest, none of those can possibly hold a candle to "I used to fuck guys like you in prison." On my list of lifelong goals, somewhere between seeing the Midnight Sun Game in Fairbanks and kayaking the Mississippi, is at least once in my life having the opportunity to say to someone with a straight face: "I used to fuck guys like you in prison."
- This game is way better than I expected. 61-59 MSU with 10 minutes to play.
- Grayson Allen just drained a three to put Duke up 7 with one minute to play. That's 35 for him tonight. If he doesn't get suspended this season for tripping opponents like a punk, he might well be the Player of the Year. (He scores two more to finish the game with 37.)
- Duke wins by 7. Tom Izzo is now 1-11 against Duke in his career.
- Duke's ball movement is phenomenal, and Bagley didn't even play in the second half. I don't see how anyone but Duke can be the favorite to win the title this year. Imagine this team after they play together for another 30+ games.

- Court: Intellectual Property Archives
- Area(s) of Law: Patents, Infringement
- Date Filed: 04-17-2013
- Case #: 10 CV 4226 (WFK)(AKT)
- Judge(s)/Court Below: U.S. District Court, E.D. New York
- Full Text Opinion
Opinion (Kuntz): Nassau Precision Casting Co. Inc. ("Nassau") alleged that certain golf clubs (the "Accused Clubs") made by Acushnet Co., Inc., Cobra Golf Co., and Puma N.A., Inc. ("Acushnet") infringed against their patent ("the 000 patent"). Acushnet holds various patents on their golf clubs using similar claim construction language as that used by Nassau regarding the redistribution of weight and construction material from locations near the top of a golf club head to other locations near the bottom of the golf club head. The court interpreted Claim 1 of the 000 patent as prohibiting the removal of construction material from the club head face. But, because the Accused Clubs actually did remove material from the club head face, the court found the Acushnet did not infringe Claim 1. Claim 2 of the 000 patent involved the removal and redistribution of a 'determined weight' of material. Specifically, it required the entire total of a determined weight be removed and relocated near the bottom of the club head. However, the court found that the Acushnet design not only removed a determined weight, but also incorporated a lightweight polymer insert in the area where the determined weight had been removed. Therefore, because some of the weight remained in the Defendant's club head, the Plaintiff could not show that the Accused Clubs infringed on the 000 patent. Accordingly, summary judgment in favor of the Acushent was GRANTED.

Each day, public safety employees leave their families and go to work to protect ours. Be it police officers, firefighters, or others in our service, injuries unfortunately arise. The attorneys at Meyers and Flowers have years of experience representing public safety workers not only in work injury claims and civil actions, but in pension hearings as well.
Pension and Disability Benefits under Illinois Law
Protection for the financial welfare of public safety employees and their families is covered under several laws including the Public Safety Employee Benefits Act (PSEBA) and the Public Employee Disability Act (PEDA). In addition, the Illinois Workers Compensation Act (IWCA) provides benefits as it does for any covered worker who becomes injured on the job. The Illinois Pension Code (IPC) also regulates payment of benefits for public safety employees injured or killed in the line of duty.
Public employees who face physical and mental hazards unique to their job duties are recognized as needing extended benefits should they be killed or become disabled in the line of duty. Under PEDA, a disabled public employee is entitled to a lifetime pension of between 65% and 75% of their salary once a determination has been made that he or she can no longer perform their duties. PSEBA provides for payment of all health insurance benefits once the disability pension has been established.
These laws cover full time firefighters, police officers, correctional officers and probation officers and their families. Understanding employment rights, particularly in the public sector is very complex. Having a knowledgeable attorney who is well versed on all relevant laws and codes and how they interact ensures that all possible benefits are obtained for workers and their loved ones.
Public Employee Disability Act
Under PEDA a full time injured fire fighter or police officer will receive up to 52 weeks of salary, tax free, if those injuries were the result of their duties. This is over and above any other benefits they may have accrued such as vacation or sick pay, overtime or service credits. Following this, a disabled fire fighter or police officer will receive 65% of their weekly salary under either IWCA or Illinois Pension Code.
Timing is relevant to a declaration that an injury has resulted in an employee being unable to perform their duties. This affects payment of health care benefits as well as the timing on the initial 52 weeks of disability. Trying to comply with the regulations required to ensure qualification of these benefits without professional guidance is not recommended. Attorneys for the cash strapped municipalities are looking for ways to cut their costs and an unrepresented public safety employee is putting himself or herself at risk of losing legitimate benefits.
Public Safety Employee Benefits Act
This legislation exists to provide public safety employees and their families with health care benefits should they suffer a catastrophic injury while performing their duties. There has been much debate on the definition of 'catastrophic' since this is what triggers benefits under this Act. Public employees who wish to maximize their benefits should realize that language can made a difference of thousands of dollars in benefits. Retaining the services of an experienced public safety pension attorney who can navigate through the complexities of these requirements can make the difference between being financially secure or financially stressed.
Health Insurance Benefits
Under PSEBA, full time police officers, fire fighters, probation officers, correctional officers who are injured or killed as a result of their duties are eligible for full payment of their health insurance plan. This benefit extends to their family including dependent children. As this benefit can be a significant amount of money, municipalities often contest the date at which benefits should begin or if they should begin at all. In cases which have gone to the Supreme Court, often there are years of payments being contested and all of it hinges on what the Illinois legislature meant by the word 'catastrophic'.
Meyers & Flowers are among the top attorney firms handling public employee and employment rights in Chicago and the State of Illinois. We understand the problems faced by balancing a municipal budget but do not agree that attempts at balancing the books should be at the expense of those who risk their lives to protect our lives and our property. We know this legislation cold and use the force of prior decisions on this point to get our clients the benefits they deserve.
Public Safety Pension & Employment Rights
Meyers & Flowers in Illinois is particularly committed to pursuing all benefits owed to those who daily risk their lives protecting the citizens of Illinois. This is a complex procedure that can be stressful for those not familiar with the process. If you have been injured on the job and want help with your case, call us to arrange a free consultation. We will be honored to help you.

HONG KONG--AIA Group Ltd. (1299.HK) said Friday its new-business value rose 25% to a record high in its fiscal first quarter, thanks to strong growth from key markets such as Hong Kong, Korea and Indonesia.
The pan-Asian insurer said in a statement its new-business value, a key measure of insurers' profitability, in the three months ended Feb. 28 totaled US$291 million, up from US$232 million a year earlier.
Annualised new premiums rose 37% to US$745 million during the period from US$543 million a year ago.
Despite strong momentum in equity markets in the first quarter, signs of economic recovery in the U.S are yet to be replicated in Europe, Chief Executive Mark Tucker said in the statement.
"The clear disparity between the economies in Asia and the West continues to emerge and the outlook for the global economy continues to be one of low growth and uncertainty in 2013," he said.

Activists of the Akhila Hindu Mahasabha have set out to tear posters of Kamal Haasan for his insulting remarks against politicians and political parties. As per reports on Deccan Chronicle, the Akhila Hindu Mahasabha organisation submitted a memorandum to the Tamil Nadu district collector to take action against the actor for his recent remarks against politicians and the state government. Reports claim, he was seeking dissolution of the assembly and dismissal of the government for no valid reason. He was also blaming the politicians for the ban on Vishwaroopam. This was allegedly stated in the memorandum.
Kamal Haasan recently met up with the Queen of England at the UK-India Culutral reception of 2017. Anoushka ShankAr, Kapil Dev, Manish Malhotra were present among others. Here's what the veteran star had to say about his royal encounter – The Queen seemed in good health and remembered her visit to India fondly. The Duke of Edinburgh was in great shape and health as well. The exchange was brief as there were too many people. You might remember during Her Majesty's visit to India, she visited my film set. Probably the only film shooting she had attended in her whole life. – Kamal Haasan.
In other news, Kamal Haasan has confirmed that Vishwaroopam 2 will release soon, but its post production will take at least 6 months. As per reports on Indian Express, the film was going through financial hurdles and that is why it saw a delay. The film has been directed by Kamal Haasan and the cast comprises – Andrea Jeremiah, Pooja Kumar. Rahul Bose, Shekhar Kapur. Unfortunately, his other directorial venture Sabash Naidu has been postponed indefinitely. The movie also starred Shruti Haasan. They had begun shooting for this film, when it all came to a grinding halt, courtesy Kamla Haasan's nasty fall. Post which, the shoot had been postponed and hasn't been resumed since.

Now this is quite shocking. The government is getting a bit frightened as a result of the classified document drop on the wikileaks website. They are already calling this cablegate and if you didn't know already, this is going to have major implications on how the US can conduct future foreign policy.
While there are so many things that these classified and unclassified documents contain, certain things seem quite compelling...
Wikileaks reveals: China's ties to Iran and the Google fiasco
WikiLeaks: Arab Leaders Urged US To Attack Iran
Now with all the escalation on the Korean peninsula, who knows whats going to happen as a result of this release of diplomatic cables. But one thing is for certain, we don't want world war 3 on our hands.

Let's face it, the care and feeding of newer "emissions controlled" diesel engines is cramping the style of many a driver. It pays to arm oneself with information on "best practices" and use EnerBurn® as part of your regular program of preventive maintenance. Here are the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions on how to use EnerBurn:
Q. What is the treatment ratio of EnerBurn to diesel?
A. One gallon of EnerBurn treats 2,500 gallons of diesel fuel. Calculate the correct amount of EnerBurn to diesel by following this formula. When fueling "over the road" we recommend using the 16-ounce refillable "squeeze bottle" to accurately dispense the correct amount of EnerBurn to the diesel. One (1) ounce of EnerBurn treats 20 gallons of diesel.
Bulk Fuel Storage Tanks:
Example: Volume of diesel is 1000 gallons
Treat ratio for EnerBurn is 1:2500
Divide 1000 gallons by 2500 to get the correct amount of EnerBurn.
For example: 1000/2500 = 0.4 gallons of EnerBurn
To convert to ounces of EnerBurn multiply by 128. For example, 0.4 gallons x 128 ounces/gallon = 51 ounces of EnerBurn
Fueling Over the Road:
Treat first full tank by dividing the total amount of fuel by 20.
For example: 300 gallons/20 = 15 ounces of EnerBurn
For every refueling thereafter divide the amount of fresh fuel added by 20.
For example: 200 gallons/20 = 10 ounces of EnerBurn
*Do not exceed the recommended treat ratio
Q. My supply of EnerBurn is almost out, is it okay to reduce the dose of EnerBurn until my next order arrives?
A. Yes. You should be able to reduce the dose by 20% without losing the effectiveness of EnerBurn for short periods of time. Add one (1) ounce of EnerBurn for every 24 gallons of diesel .
Q. Do I have to add EnerBurn to both fuel tanks?
A. No. EnerBurn can be added to "one side" of the truck only – it is not necessary to treat both tanks separately as the fuel will circulate between both tanks while the engine is running.
Q. Is there a minimum treatment period required before I see maximum improved results?
A. Yes. Individual results will vary, but in general we ask that you please allow up to 500 hours of engine operation time with treated diesel for best results. This is usually enough time for EnerBurn to clean the engine and exhaust systems of carbon build-up and for the catalytically accelerated burn rate to take full effect.
Q. Because EnerBurn is a fuel additive, how do you recommend I store it?
A. As with any chemical compound or petroleum distillate product, please use caution when handling or storing EnerBurn. We recommend the following:
- Avoid contact with skin.
- Wear solvent-resistant gloves and protective goggles and/or face mask.
- Avoid breathing fumes.
- Keep container sealed while indoors.
- Keep containers stored upright to prevent leakage from caps.
- Store sealed containers indoors at temperatures between -10°F and 125°F.
- Once mixed with diesel, storage conditions are not restricted.
- Refer to SDS for safety and handling Instructions.
Q. Do I need to replace my fuel filter with the initial use of EnerBurn?
A. Maybe. If present EnerBurn will kill any microbial slime, sludge, or "algae" contamination growing in your diesel fuel system (tank and lines). IF you have bio-contamination, it will be killed by EnerBurn and get trapped in the fuel filters. This will happen within the first two weeks use of treated diesel. The system will usually clean itself up after one or two filter changes. On-going use of EnerBurn prevents the problem from recurring.
Please see Figures 1 and 2:
Figure 1: Fuel filter after initial two weeks use of diesel treated with EnerBurn on a 2012 Cummins ISX 450 HP engine, odometer reading ~450,000 miles. Killed microbial contamination appears as a black, slimy residue.
Figure 2: Same truck after replacement of contaminated filter with a fresh filter.
This tends to be more of a problem for trucks that use biodiesel, are older, have a history of water contamination in the fuel tanks, or have been sitting for an extended period of time.
You may not experience any issues with fuel filter clogging caused by diesel slime and sludge-producing microbes. But it is a good practice to keep spare fuel filters in the truck upon initial use of EnerBurn, just in case. Typical symptoms of fuel filter clogging are a sudden loss of engine power and/or decrease in fuel economy.

Bifidobacteria for newborns: reviews, prices and applications
The most important thing for every mother is the health of her child. If the baby does not hurt, he becomes cheerful and cheerful, develops well, eats with appetite. Unfortunately, sometimes even a newborn child, who is not yet a month old, begins to behave restlessly and show signs of malaise. Turning to a doctor, parents find out that the reason for their baby's poor health is a lack of bifidobacteria in his digestive tract.
The microflora of the intestine of a newborn child
According to studies of specialists, a child is born with an absolutely sterile intestine. From the first hours of the baby's life, a different microflora begins to appear in it. If the child's health is in order, he is breastfed and protected from infection by various intestinal infections, then the digestive tract of the baby inhabits certain types of bifidobacteria.
Bifidobacteria are Gram-positive bacilli with a curved shape. They are present in different amounts in the digestive tract of nursing infants, older children, adults. In this case, not only the number of microorganisms differs, but also their species composition. Bifidobacteria for newborns are needed much more than for an adult, in the gastrointestinal tract which is dominated by lactobacilli. At the same time, there are different types of microorganisms in infants feeding on breast milk and children who are on artificial feeding. Even the best milk formulas cause the growth of microflora in the intestine of the baby, similar to bifidobacteria that inhabit the adult body.
Influence of bifidobacteria on the child's organism
Bifidobacteria for children are very important. They improve the process of absorption of nutrients that come with food in the baby's gastrointestinal tract. These beneficial microorganisms transform the structure of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, ensuring the digestion of food. Positively affect bifidobacteria and peristalsis of the intestine. Optimal reduction of his muscles leads to a timely release from undigested food residues.
The role of a fighter with pathogenic microorganisms, causing various intestinal diseases, also plays bifidobacteria. For newborns this is very important, because their immune system is still weak enough and often can not cope even with a small number of harmful microbes.
Bifidobacteria are important for the maintenance of a normal metabolic process. They produce lactic acid, which is necessary for the complete assimilation by the body of iron, calcium, vitamin D. These substances are extremely necessary for the full physical and mental development of the baby, strengthening his immunity. In the exchange of bilirubin, bifidobacteria also participate. For children, it is very useful, because their pancreas because of age characteristics does not work as stable as in an adult.
Bifidobacteria possess antimutagenic properties, which are the basis for the prevention of cancer. These beneficial microorganisms can also neutralize the action of carcinogens.
Causes of dysbiosis
In children, dysbacteriosis develops quite often. The risk group includes, in the first place, babies who are on artificial feeding and receive other types of bifidobacteria. For newborns, it is very important, at least for the first time, to feed on the mother's milk, which contains all the necessary substances that ensure the growth of normal microflora.
Dysbacteriosis can develop due to severe intestinal infections. With some pathogenic microorganisms, useful bifidobacteria can cope on their own, but if there are too many of them or they are related to pathogens of dangerous diseases, additional treatment is required.
Some medicines, mainly antibiotics, also suppress beneficial microflora, killing not only pathogenic microorganisms, but also useful bifidobacteria.
The negative impact on the state of the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract of children has an early start of complementary feeding without first discussing it with the pediatrician.
Consequences of dysbiosis
Depending on the degree of dysbiosis and the age of the child, its manifestations may be different. They include:
1. Problems with stool. Babies may have constipation, diarrhea, in feces you can see undigested white lumps of food and mucus.
2. Abdominal pain, increased gas production. The optimal peristalsis of the intestine is largely provided by bifidobacteria. For newborns this is very important, because the delay of fecal masses leads to painful sensations, colic and bloating.
3. With prolonged dysbiosis, there is a decrease in appetite in a child, he does not gain much weight.
4. Decreased immunity - a frequent companion of dysbiosis. And the child is at risk of getting not only intestinal infections, but also acute respiratory diseases.
Treatment of dysbiosis
If the child has signs characteristic of dysbiosis, you need to see a doctor. It is not necessary without his recommendations to give the baby bifidobacteria for newborns, the reviews about which turned out to be the best. The pediatrician will conduct the necessary examinations to accurately diagnose. Often under the mask of dysbiosis, there are much more serious diseases, such as severe intestinal infections, allergies, abnormalities in the structure of the digestive system.
If the dysbacteriosis is really confirmed, the doctor will prescribe the child special preparations that normalize the intestinal microflora. He will also give the baby's parents advice on the proper nutrition that the child should adhere to.
If you fulfill all the doctor's prescriptions and choose the drug, the most suitable baby, then the effectiveness of treatment will be high.
All drugs that normalize the microflora can be divided into probiotics and prebiotics. Prebiotics are carbohydrates that are not digested by the body, but serve as a medium for the growth of beneficial bacteria. Probiotics are lacto- and bifidobacteria that are presented in the preparation themselves or are included in some other product.
Of all the preparations containing the most suitable bifidobacteria for newborns, the price of which is available to almost all parents, the most commonly prescribed drugs are Bifidumbacterin, Linex. Their cost ranges from 200 to 500 rubles, depending on the dosage of the medicine, the availability of additional components, for example activated carbon, the number of capsules in the package. These drugs are effective and convenient to use. Preparations are usually mixed with milk formula, complementary foods, water. For the remedy to remain effective, it is important to follow the storage instructions given in the drug instructions. Preparations with bifidobacteria are usually stored in the refrigerator.
Drugs with a more effective effect, which are prescribed as concomitant with essential medicines in the fight against intestinal infections, are bacteriophages. These medicines are produced in liquid form and have large concentrations of various bifidobacteria, designed to neutralize certain types of pathogenic microorganisms. Their cost is higher than that of simpler drugs, it is within 500-1000 rubles.
Food products with bifidobacteria
In addition to special medicines, which are based on beneficial microorganisms, there are also ordinary food products with their addition. Children's mixture with bifidobacteria will help restore the normal microflora to the baby, who needed to switch to artificial feeding.
Enriched with bifidobacteria are also baby porridges and yogurts. That the presence of these microorganisms in the product was the maximum, it is necessary to focus on its shelf life. By the time of its termination in food there will be the least quantity of bifidobacteria.
