Gold Fields to be worth its weight
Australia's record for the most expensive apartment could be toppled by a new residential tower at Circular Quay offering the best views in Sydney.
Chinese developer Dalian Wanda's conversion of the office tower Gold Fields House into luxury apartments and a 5-star hotel could put it in the running for hottest address in the country.
"The location is enough on its own to break the all-time record for rate per square metre but they've got to be designed and executed properly," Michael Pallier of Sotheby's International Realty said.
Former owner, global investment group Blackstone, invited Pallier into the building three years ago to assess its prospects as a site for luxury apartments. His verdict? "It's phenomenal," he said.
"The location is incredible; it's north-facing and you can see the two landmarks, the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House . . . and it's also freehold, which means you can own it forever."
A number of Sydney's top-grossing apartments developments – including Lend Lease's apartments at Barangaroo – have been sold on 99-year leases rather than freehold titles.
Pallier believes the title makes a big difference to buyers and the prices they are prepared to pay.
"Pacific Bondi Beach is getting about $50,000 a square metre, and this could get more than that," he said.
Veteran developers Allen Linz and Eduard Litver's redevelopment of the Swiss Grand Hotel holds the title for the country's most expensive apartments.
A company linked to Multiplex's former chief Andrew Roberts paid $21 million for a two-storey penthouse at the pair's Pacific Bondi Beach project. It has Burley Katon Halliday interiors, four bedrooms, an internal lift and its own spa and gym.
Real estate experts believe the penthouse at the top of
Justin Brown, chairman of real estate firm CBRE, has predicted the three-storey apartment could become the first Australian property to break the $100 million barrier.
But the prices will only be achieved if the properties are finished to the most exacting of standards, experts say.
Mr Pallier said top-tier offshore and local buyers would expect a big-name architect with a portfolio of projects around the world they can refer to for examples of work, before they buy in.
"They'll be expecting something like Robert A. M. Stern," he said, referring to the architect who designed 15 Central Park West, New York's most expensive address and home to Robert de Niro and former Goldman Sachs chief Lloyd Blankfein.
But wealthy buyers are equally persuaded by the quality of finishes and features such as space to hang artwork, and master bedrooms the size of hotel suites, according to interior designer Neil Bradford.
"They expect something larger than 35 square metres for a master suite and they'll potentially expect his and her bathrooms and dressing rooms."
Either way, currency movements and a softening Australia dollar are likely to create an environment conducive to record breaking sales by international buyers, valuer Simon Feilich said.
"If the currency keeps weakening, you could see this market really ignite," he said.

Do you know what Novo Optimizer Gpu Miner is?
Our cyber security experts have recently tested a program called Novo Optimizer Gpu Miner and classified it as a Trojan. This application was designed to get onto your PC secretly and then secretly mine digital currency using your GPU card. As a result, this application will drain your computer's resources and also hike your electricity bills if it does that long enough. Apparently, this program was designed to launch on each system startup. If you remove it from Control Panel, it will leave leftover files that you ought to delete manually. For more information, please continue reading.
Cyber security experts say Novo Optimizer Gpu Miner is owned by a company called Microleaves LTD. This same company also owns Traffic Exchange that researchers have classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP.) Therefore, it seems that this company is predisposed to release questionable, unreliable applications.
Researchers say that Novo Optimizer Gpu Miner is disseminated using bundled software installers. These installers can be malicious because many of them are said to have been configured to install this Trojan onto your computer without your knowledge or consent. You may encounter such malicious installers if you visit freeware websites that are notorious for bundling free applications with additional software that is often malicious in nature. Needless to say, the owners of those websites stand to make a lot of money if they bundle software together. Unfortunately, some installers can install additional software by stealth, and that seems to be the case with Novo Optimizer Gpu Miner in particular.
If your computer becomes infected with Novo Optimizer Gpu Miner, then it will harness the power of your PC's GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and use it to mine digital currencies. When you run this program for the first time, it will check the compatibility with your graphics card. If the GPU is compatible, then this program will connect to a remote digital currency pool and mine specific coins. Hence, cyber crooks use your computer to do all of the work so that they could make money.Novo Optimizer Gpu Miner screenshot

We want to warn you that this Trojan can potentially cause damage to your computer. If it runs long enough on your PC, it can overheat the GPU if it has insufficient cooling because this Trojan will utilize nearly 100 % of its possible resources. On top of that, this program can be the cause of higher electricity bills because older GPUs were more power hungry than the newer models. Still, some top of the line GPUs of today are power hungry as well, so it depends on the particular GPU you have.
This Trojan drops its files in either %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Novo or %PROGRAMFILES%\Novo depending on whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. It also creates a scheduled task at %PROGRAMFILES%\Novo and registry keys at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\Novo and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Novo. Uninstalling this program from Control Panel will not remove all of the files, so you have to delete them manually.
In conclusion, Novo Optimizer Gpu Miner is a malicious application set to be installed on your PC by stealth and then secretly use your GPU to mine digital currency that will make this program's developers a substantial profit. If you want to get rid of this Trojan, then please follow the removal guide located below.
Removal Guide
- Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc keys.

- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
- Find Novo, right-click it and click Delete.
- Empty the Recycle Bin.
In non-techie terms:
Novo Optimizer Gpu Miner is a malicious application that can infect your computer secretly and you its GPU to mine for digital currency. As a result, your PC can become slower and the GPU can overheat and fry. Therefore, we recommend that you remove this program using the guide above because it does nothing other than make your PC slower and make its creators money in the process.

In the town of Federal Way, Washington police are actively ticketing children. Cecilia Navarro was walking her younger sister home– something she does every day– when all of a sudden Officer Thaddeus Hodge, who strikes an imposing first impression, stopped her. "Yeah, I was kind of scared. I was like what did I do?"
What did she do? Well, Officer Hodge spelled it out quite clearly to the little girl, "I saw you walking with your sister, picking her up and I thought that was a positive thing. So is it OK that I give you a little reward for doing what you're doing?"
Yep. Officer Hodge rewarded Cecilia for doing something good, something right and that is turning into one big positive in the town between Seattle and Tacoma.
"The program is about making a positive impact with kids, but it can impact officers too," says Federal Way Police Department's Cathy Shrock.
Officer Hodge couldn't agree more. "As an officer you always want to make that positive impact on someone and the earlier you can do it and the more consistent you can do it, it's a good feeling. It's a great feeling," he says as he spots another person to "ticket."
"There's a kid right there waiting for the crosswalk, so I will stop and have a talk with him." Officer Hodge walks up and like with pretty much all the other children, he quickly has to let him know he's not in trouble. "No you didn't do anything wrong. The reason I'm here is because you're doing something right."
And just like Cecilia, this boy gets a reward as well. All the certificates and coupons officers are handing out, for things like a free movie, don't cost taxpayers a thing—all are donated.
The bigger reward here? The payoff to the community as a whole. One child. One powerfully positive interaction with police and, who knows, maybe one life changed for the better forever. Here's the story we shared on FOX 29:

Gustavo's farm is teeming with life.
There are dogs (including puppies), chickens, adult children, grandchildren — and there are coffee trees, which Gustavo says are the lifeblood of his farm.
"An old farmer once told me, 'Take really good care of your coffee farm. That's your daily bread.'" Gustavo explains.
There was a time when farming didn't provide his family their daily bread. He says he used to work as a farm laborer, but that never met his family's needs. So he worked hard to buy just over 8 hectares (about 20 acres) of land, on which he now grows coffee. Even then, he says, his family struggled. He used to sell his coffee to a middleman, who took most of his profits and left little for him to support his family.
With the help of people like you, Lutheran World Relief began working with Gustavo's coffee cooperative, SOPPEXCCA, several years ago — helping farmers diversify their crops, better protect their environment and improve their coffee. Gustavo was a founding member of the cooperative and said it was founded so that farmers could get a better price for their coffee and provide for their children. He and other farmers have greatly improved their coffee crops by learning how to nurture a coffee tree so that it yields good quality cherries, how to wait for the cherries to turn bright red before picking, and now farmers have access to better processing equipment — like the wet mill Gustavo uses to remove the outer skin and pulp from his coffee cherries.
"Thanks to coffee, I now have bread for my children and grandchildren," Gustavo says. He also explains that the formation of SOPPEXCCA has brought good things to his community. For example, the cooperative helped construct a building for the school that grew out of his very own home.
Whereas Gustavo used to work as a laborer on other people's land, he now works side by side with his sons in his own coffee fields. "I'm very proud my sons don't have to sell their labor," he says.
To Gustavo, coffee is more than just a crop.
"Coffee gives us life. Coffee is medicine," he says. "If the world is passing you by, enjoy a cup of coffee — then get back to it."
Taste the care and hard work Gustavo, and the farmers of SOPPEXCCA, put into every coffee bean included in LWR Farmers Market Coffee.

I used to use Handbrake and DVD43 to rip DVDs to my computer. Recently I got a new computer and it is 64 bit which does not work with DVD43. Does anyone know a good program to remove encryption and leave a single video file that I can play on my iPhone? I would be willing to pay for one if there is no free ones that work well, but it has to be 64-bit compatible.
Hello, DVDFab is one of the better program for this kind of thing. It is a paid software and it also has the capability of dealing with bluray. Good thing about it is that you can select to rip content compatible with several devices including the Ipod.
Most of DVD Fab's software provides a decryption utility, it works on x64.
Hey Jeff the link you provided is not working
Oops, fixed it. Thanks!

A pair of bald eagles is calling Long Island their new home, nesting at a high school campus for nearly a month.
The majestic birds, one male and one female, have shacked up high in a tree at Great Neck South School in Nassau, Newsday reported.
Their unexpected appearance has created "quite a stir," the school district's superintendent for business John Powell told Newsday.
"One of the eagles is perched on a branch right now, so everyone in our department is looking out the window right now," he told the paper on Thursday.
Students and staff are keeping a respectful distance from the birds, which require a buffer zone of 330 feet during nesting season from late January to late July, according to the US Fish & Wildlife Service.
"We had to send out a directive that nobody is to get near the site and to do as little as possible to disturb their habitat," Powell said.
The agency estimates that there are at least 9,789 nesting pairs of bald eagles in the contiguous US.
The location is an optimal spot for the eagles — the school is across the street from the fish-filled Lake Success — and they could become annual visitors to Great Neck.
"If this is the first year they've spent time building it and if they are successful here, very likely they'll keep coming back year after year," said Eileen Hanson, the associate director of the National Eagle Center.
Bald eagle sightings in New York City and Long Island are rare, but they've been known to nest in upstate New York.

A beautiful sponge layer cake filled with a delightful ricotta cheese filling.
I found this recipe to be written up poorly. I followed it word for word and it didn't turn out. My mother was Sicilian and made these cakes all the time and they were wonderful. This one was a mess. I probably won't waste the money on ingrediants to try this one again. Sorry. - 11 Mar 2001 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I came across this recipe almost seven years ago on this website and have been making it each Christmas ever since. I always omit the candied fruit (although this is traditional) to suit the tastes of my family. The cake is very good and is requested by my Sicilian parents every year.I have omitted the almonds on occasion, however we enjoy both versions. Give it a try! - 17 Nov 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Very nice dessert for a special occasion. It can be made a day or two ahead of serving and kept in the refrigerator. I have made the frosting with rum, as in this version, or with chocolate and espresso coffee. As Caterina pointed out in her review some years ago, you can change the additions to the filling to suit your tastes. Thank you for the recipe, Traci. - 22 Dec 2013 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

Bike Riding
The nature park at "Steinhuder Meer" is considered one of the most popular destinations for cyclists in Germany. No wonder, the terrain is flat, the landscape idyllic, and, above all else, the superior infrastructure makes the area easily navigable. Near the popular path around the lake, you can follow designated pathways or simply take part in a guided bike tour. Several hundred kilometers of pathway are signposted. A special attraction is our themed-tours in the moor highlighting, the history of the principality of the Schaumburg-Lippe or the world of modern wind energy as well as the historical water mills in Neustädter Land. Don't worry about overstraining yourself. You can go as leisurely and comfortably as you like. For that reason there is a bike bus equipped with a special bike trailer that travels around "Steinhuder Meer" in the summer (June to August). So, jump in saddle…

PIA Calls for Repeal of Federal Insurance Office
(PIA) is proposing that the Federal Insurance Office (FIO) be repealed.
The election of Donald Trump as president and a Republican majority in both houses of Congress will bring about a unique opportunity to reexamine the regulatory framework for insurance. As part of regulatory reform, PIA is calling on policymakers to fully repeal the FIO.
PIA opposed the creation of the FIO from the outset. In 2010, advocates of federal insurance regulation succeeded in getting the FIO established as part of the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank)—but PIA, along with the NAIC, fought back attempts to give this office broad authority. In the end, a prohibition on the FIO acting as a regulator of the business of insurance was included.
While over the years the FIO has adhered to this restriction, there have been repeated indications that it favors more federal involvement. Former NAIC CEO Ben Nelson once felt compelled to state that "the FIO does not speak for insurance regulators." Former Connecticut Insurance Commissioner Thomas Leonardi recently observed, "Since its creation, the FIO has often taken positions in direct contradiction to the views of the state regulators."
FIO Director Michael McRaith once gave a speech saying that the insurance sector should be treated the same as the banking and securities sectors, prompting a strong rebuke from PIA.
"One should never forget that all insured risks will always be local," commented PIA National Senior Vice President Patricia A. Borowski at the time. "The United States has an effective and efficient state-based insurance regulatory system that protects policyholders and offers them a broad array of competitive choices from many insurance carriers. To those who want a different system, we simply say they are woefully misguided."
"If the goal is to eliminate unnecessary federal regulation, getting rid of the FIO makes good sense," said PIA National Vice President of Government Relations Jon Gentile. "Doing so would reaffirm that regulation of insurance should continue to be the responsibility of the states. PIA will remain vigilant in its efforts to ensure that no new paths to the federal regulation of insurance are created as part of any Dodd-Frank rollback."

Mass. man pleads guilty to selling fentanyl at Rockingham Mall in 2015
CONCORD — A Massachusetts man has pleaded guilty after selling fentanyl at the Rockingham Mall in June and July 2015.
Acting U.S. Attorney John J. Farley announced Friday that Edward Garcia, 36, of Massachusetts, pleaded guilty to two counts of distributing fentanyl.
According to documents and statements made in court, in 2015 law enforcement officers were targeting the sale of heroin and fentanyl from sources located in Massachusetts when an undercover officer purchased fentanyl from Garcia on June 12, 2015, and on July 14, 2015. Each sale involved 29.5 grams of fentanyl.
"The United States Attorney's Office is committed to working with all of our law enforcement partners to stop the flow of fentanyl into New Hampshire," Farley said. "Because even a small quantity of fentanyl can be deadly, we will continue to work together to prosecute those who are responsible for distributing this drug and will make every effort to stop this drug from being sold in New Hampshire."
Garcia's sentencing hearing is scheduled for Oct. 23.

Stars in the Sky: Constellations and Astronomy for Kids
Learning about the billions of galaxies, constellations, solar systems, black holes, worm holes and other celestial phenomena opens the minds of little ones and grown-ups alike, allowing all of us to appreciate the incredible beauty of the universe. Stargazing is a fun, educational activity to do with your child: next thing you know they'll want to be an astronaut!
Astronomy Basics
Here's a brief introduction to help you explain the basics of astronomy to your kids:
Solar system
There are many solar systems throughout the universe. Our solar system is made up of the Sun at the centre, orbited by eight planets (including Earth), moons, and smaller celestial bodies including asteroids, comets, and meteorites which all revolve around the Sun.
A galaxy is a gigantic collection of solar systems, stars, and planets. It is estimated that there are around 100 billion galaxies in the universe.
Planets are spherical objects that orbit a star – e.g. the Earth orbits the Sun. Planets are so large that the immediate space around them is clear of other objects.
Stars in the Sky
Nobody knows exactly how many stars there are, except to say that it is an astronomical number in each galaxy (and there are billions of galaxies!). Stars are huge, glowing balls of plasma that emit energy in the form of heat and light causing them to 'twinkle'. The easiest star to spot is the Sun. Although it appears to be close to Earth because of its immense size and incredible brightness, the Sun is actually around 150,000,000 km away.
What Are Constellations?
A constellation is a group of stars that together form a beautiful pattern that can be seen as a picture in the sky. Scientists have given constellations different names, often based on religious mythology, or the object or animal that a constellation most resembles. Examples include:
- Kumbha, the water-pot
- Vrishabha, the bull
- Kanya, the maiden
Applying theory to practice by trying to identify patterns of stars in the sky is a great introduction to constellations for kids.
Astronomy Craft Activities
On a clear night see how many constellations you can find! Orion (the hunter) is usually the easiest to spot in the Northern hemisphere, although it can still be tricky at first, particularly if you live in a well-lit urban area. Sky maps are available online to make identifying different star constellations a little more straightforward. To make this activity even more fun, get you child to draw the stars in the sky that they've spotted. Then they can show their drawings to visiting family members or friends and explain what they've learnt about constellations.
For an extra special stars in the sky drawing get some glitter involved! Add spots of glue to your kids drawings and sprinkle glitter on top of their stars to make sure they really sparkle. You could also try making your own planets out of paper mache:
- Blow up a balloon – you can use multiple balloons for the different planets in the solar system.
- Next you'll need newspapers torn into strips and some glue for your paper mache mix – you can use diluted PVA glue, or create your own from a ratio of three parts water to one part flour.
- Dip the strips of newspaper in the glue and apply to the balloon. Apply three layers of the strips, allowing each layer to dry in between. They don't need to be smooth and neat as planets are textured.
- Once dry, paint your planet with a base coat. After this has dried you can work on decorating your planet with paint, glitter, and marker pens to make it look as realistic as possible.
You can also find plenty more inspiration for astronomy crafts for kids here. And, don't worry if they get covered in glitter, paint, or glue in the process, Surf excel liquid detergent is here to help make sure their clothes are sparkling clean once again! Astronomy for kids is the first step in unravelling the mystery of space and letting kids shoot for the stars in expanding their knowledge of the universe. If you find that your child has begun to develop a real passion for celestial objects then it might be worth buying a telescope at some point to further their ambitions and open up new realms of exploration.
Did you have fun searching for constellations with your kids? Let us know how you got on with astronomy for kids in the comments box below.

Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump said the fact that so many people needed to be turned away from entering Trask Coliseum for his speech Tuesday in Wilmington was a sign that a movement is underway.
Thousands showed up, but the coliseum quickly filled up, leaving many people without the opportunity to see the candidate in person. Accompanied by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani on his visit to the Port City, Trump said he felt bad that more people couldn't get inside for the rally.
During his hour long speech, Trump touched on many base issues, but also discussed a hot button issue in North Carolina right now -- voter ID.
"Why aren't we having voter ID?" Trump asked during his address.
Trump reserved much of his speech for criticism of Democrat Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton, saying she has lied to the American people and cost this country during her public career.
"It's one thing to make bad decisions," Trump said. "It's another thing to be wacky and make bad decisions."
Trump said he would help the environment, but not at the expense of the economy as president.
"We want clean air. We want clean water. But to do that, you don't have to destroy our country and destroy our businesses," Trump said.
There was only minimal interruption in Tuesday's rally, compared to recent public events. Only one disturbance resulted in the ejection of protesters, but even that was quickly handled, according to Trump.
"I like the Hillary protesters. They're so quiet," Trump said.
In his introductory speech, Giuliani acknowledged the overflow crowd as "unbelievable", while trying to temper chants from those inside to "lock her up" in reference to Clinton.
"We want to beat her and keep her out of Washington," Rudy Giuliani said.
Many people were unable to make it inside the venue for Tuesday's rally, with the coliseum filling up shortly before the main speakers took the stage.
The early birds were greeted hits from artists like Elton John and The Rolling Stones blasting over Trask Coliseum's speakers.

The upper decks quickly started filling up first, with those wanting an up-close view making their way to the ground floor.
Disabled veteran Jim Halstead got in line at 7 a.m. to make sure he got a good spot.
"I want to hear [Trump] plan out his plan for the government, for the military, for the veterans, for the homeless in this country," Halstead explained. "Give me your economic plan, give me the facts. You're a great business man, now make America a great business."
At the conclusion of his speech, Trump promised the crowd he'd be back very soon.

Encapsulation Applications
Encapsulation Drugs
Encapsulation refers to the manufacturing of seamless capsules that encapsulates fillers such as a food products, health food products, medicine, flavors, spices or other materials with a capsule shell such as gelatin.
"Many seamless capsules used for a medicine or the like are manufactured by a so-called dropping method. The dropping method is carried out by using a multiple nozzle. Thus, in the case of manufacturing a two-layer capsule, a double nozzle having an ejection port for ejecting the capsule filling substance and an ejection port for ejecting the film forming substance respectively arranged at the inside and at the outside is used. The filling substance and the film forming substance are ejected from the tips of the respective nozzles into hardening liquid, and the ejected liquid drops take a spherical form due to the surface tension thereof. Then, the liquid drops are cooled and hardened in the hardening liquid that is forced to circulate at a constant speed to make spherical seamless capsules."

President George Weah's infrastructure development projects including the construction of a coastal highway would lead to the Liberian economy recording an estimated 15 – 20 percent GDP growth, administration officials and economists have forecast.
The Weah administration is seeking to pave 503 kilometers of road that would connect the inaccessible Southeaster region to the rest of the country including the capital Monrovia.
Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with Eton Financing for the provision of approximately $536million loan for the project's implementation.
The international Monetary Fund backing President Weah's flagship 'pro-poor' economic development policy said at the end of its 13-day mission in March this year that the President's capital project targeting road construction will drive growth and development.
Team leader Mika Saito said "Over the next few years, the development plan of the new government, with large-scale road construction in its center, will act to expand and connect markets and spur economic development," the Fund Mika Saito said.
Below is update on the President's socio-economic development targets as compiled by the administration's communication team.
• The President has instructed the disbursement of 50% of the funding required to start construction on the proposed 14th Military Hospital. Construction is expected to start within three weeks, if not earlier.
• The President has fulfilled his promise made to Liberian students and parents by paying the WASCE/WAEC fees for approximately 34,000 students across Liberia. What an unprecedented milestone!
• The President's promise to install 2,000 street lights from ELWA to St. Paul Bridge is in full swing.
Phase 1 of this project is to have lights installed on the existing light poles, while phase two will have new light poles & lights installed on the other side of the streets without poles. The installation from ELWA to Redlight began on Monday April 9, 2018. Portions of Rehab-Duport Road, GSA, Duala, Point 4 as well as New Kru Town have already been installed. This is in addition to the 400 solar-powered street lights expected to be installed on the Robertsfield Highway. Thanks to our President for being proactive!
• Owing to the President's commitment to enhance the current manual registration process at the University of Liberia, the President has authorized the disbursement of funds towards digitalizing the current registration process. The UL administration has entered into an agreement with a Liberian IT Company to implement this project.
• The President has been able to initiate discussions in an effort to secure funding for the transformation of West Point community as well as other slum communities and parts of rural Liberia. This project is expected to replace the existing homes in those designated areas by constructing modern 2-3 bedroom homes for slum and rural dwellers. This is one of his campaign promises made to the Liberian people when he stated, "Liberians are in the 21st century and there should be no reason for citizens to still be living in huts-especially in rural Liberia".
• The Bali Island Project will kick start by firstly embarking on a road project thus creating access from the Battery factory community to the Island. Initial meetings have taken place between the Government of Liberia through the Ministry of Public works and residents of the communities affected. This meeting is geared towards sensitizing the community dwellers about the transformation of the Island. The President has cautioned parties entrusted with the implementation of the project that the transformation of Bali Island into a modern city is not a mere project, but a dream to be fulfilled, thus must be taken very seriously.
• The President has initiated discussions with partners to fund the construction of a state of the art modern bridge that will connect the 12th Street community to Gardnersville by way of Kesselly Boulevard. The purpose of this bridge is geared towards opening the city and to alleviate traffic on the Somalia drive. The 12th Street to Kesselly Boulevard Bridge is one of many bridges that the President is committed to constructing.
The construction of an overpass bridge at both the SKD Boulevard junction and the Ministerial complex junction in Congo town, as well as the bridge that would connect the Crown Hill Community to the Bali Island as well as the Battery Factory Community are all part of the President's commitment to Liberia's development.
• Owing to the President's commitment to connect all of the capitals within the southeast including Grand Bassa and Rivercess, a delegation representing the Government of Liberia just returned from Asia in an effort to solicit funding for the pavement of 503 kilometers of road which is to include the construction of the "President's dreamed Coastal Highway". A MOU was signed between Eton Financing and the Government of Liberia for this project. When constructed, economists are projecting that this will increase Liberia's GDP by 15-20% and boost the Country's economy immensely.

Driving along Pine Street this weekend, my husband and I gasped at what we thought was a for-sale sign in front of the famous Mork and Mindy house at 1619 Pine. We instantly began fantasizing about what it would be like to live there — and wondering what it would cost to buy a piece of pop culture history. Alas, we've since learned that the sign in front of the house is merely a general contractor sign. Perhaps the current owners are having a landing pad installed on the roof in preparation for Mork's return from Ork?

"My Brooklyn" documents the dramatic transformation of Downtown Brooklyn and the Fulton Street Mall, where government policies and corporate development joined forces to displace small businesses and longtime neighborhood residents. Filmed over the course of several years, the film explores the forces reshaping the Fulton Mall - one of the most popular and successful shopping destinations in New York City - and nearby neighborhoods like Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, and Bed-Stuy. The documentary also follows the filmmaker's personal journey, as a Brooklyn gentrifier, to understand the forces reshaping her neighborhood along lines of race and class. "My Brooklyn" reframes the gentrification debate to expose the corporate actors and government agents behind neighborhood change.

Wartime fable
THE big-budget, high-powered World War II espionage thriller Where Eagles Dare (Pearl, 9.30pm) is your archetypal schoolboy adventure, rather unattractively photographed, but containing the usual variety of excitements and in enough quantity to make it enjoyable.
Of course it's all a bit hard to credit (especially since the poor Germans can't seem to hit anything with their machine guns - present them with a barrage balloon at two feet and they would hit the trees instead), but that's part of the fun.
Richard Burton, in a switch from the heavy dramatic roles that made him famous, is excellent as our hero, John Smith, who leads an elite group of Allied commandos assigned to rescue an American general who is being held captive in a castle. But it is Clint Eastwood who makes it all worthwhile.
He is the young American lieutenant with an individualistic streak. Mary Ure and Ingrid Pitt, as an agent called Heidi, provide respite from all the men.
THE thriller Knight Moves (World, 9.30pm) is a bit ridiculous, with little suspense or sense of reality. A chess champion (Christopher Lambert) is suspected of being a serial killer. The real killer, meanwhile, presents him with teasing clues.
THE formula for The Cosby Mysteries (Pearl, 1.05am) is part family sitcom, part Agatha Christie with contemporary American mores. A dastardly guest star commits a crime that baffles everyone except Cosby (and the viewers). But soon enough clever Cos outwits the perpetrator, confronts him with his misdeeds and sends him to justice.
This sounds interesting, but in fact it isn't. If The Cosby Mysteries were mysterious, and less predictable, they might be more satisfactory. The clues are fired at the audience in such a way as to make you feel the producers and writers expect you to be very stupid. An apparent suicide victim has slashed his wrists. But hang on, the very same suicide victim said while he was still alive that he was afraid of sharp objects. Oh my gawd . . . it must have been . . . murder! THE Inspector Morse season continues with Infernal Serpent (STAR Plus, 9pm), which features the usual unpleasant goings-on in British academia. An eminent environmentalist is bumped off minutes before he is due to give a controversial speech and Morse (John Thaw) can't help but wonder why.
The real mystery is why anyone would want to take part in either Donahue (12 noon) or The Oprah Winfrey Show (3pm). The first features hard-core ex-cons talking about what really goes on in prison and the second features Oprah and a guest called Sinbad. You can watch both shows twice if you want; they repeat at 4am and 3am respectively.
M.A.S.H (1am) has been showing forever and there is no end in sight. If you are in the habit of collecting trivia, you might care to know that the series barely escaped cancellation after first appearing on Sunday evening in autumn 1973 on CBS. The station moved it to Saturday evenings, squeezed between All In The Family and The Mary Tyler Moore Show and it hit fourth in the seasonal ratings and remained a top 10 show for the next nine seasons.
Wisely, the people behind M.A.S.H decided to end it while it was still popular, with a 21/2 hour special entitled Goodbye, Farewell And Amen which was broadcast in the US on 28 February 1983 and was, at the time, the most widely-watched television programme of all time.
In this episode - we are still in the early days in Hong Kong, eight years or so behind the civilised world - a pregnant girl arrives at the 4077th, just in time to deliver.
FILM on Cable Movie Channel: Fox Legend (11pm). A young man sets out to avenge dead foxes by murdering the son of a family who kills them for their fur. It's not an eco-friendly melodrama, but a Hong Kong fantasy, which also features mystery, romance and a Taoist priest. Starring Kelly Yiu and Joey Wong. Directed by Wu Ma in 1991.

Elegant Strawberry Cheesecake
Chef's Note
"This cheesecake is so beautiful to look at we almost hated to cut into it! I'm glad we did, because it's the all-time best strawberry cheesecake we've ever tasted! I now use the crust ingredients for many other desserts requiring graham cracker crusts. It is somewhat time-consuming, but is well worth the effort. Many times I do the crust and filling steps one day and the glaze/strawberry decorating the next. (I prefer lemon juice in the glaze or 1/2 lemon juice and 1/2 Grand Marnier rather than the full 3 T of Grand Marnier, but use your own taste as judgment!) It must be chilled thoroughly before serving. (Tweaked from a Taste of Home recipe...) JULY 2011, NOTE: I very rarely make the glaze topping anymore. I'd like to be virtuous and say I'm trying to reduce sugar content, but it's mainly because I usually am short of time or lazy. I make and chill the cheesecake, then cut stems off strawberries and prettily arrange them pointy-side up on the top before serving. The cheesecake is still as beautiful and SOOO good, so you decide which way you want to go."
READY IN:1hr 40mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup ground pecans or 1⁄2 cup ground walnuts
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 32 ounces cream cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 pint strawberry, stems removed
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 (12 ounce) jar strawberry jelly or 1 (12 ounce) jarseedless preserves
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice or 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- Soften cream cheese to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 350 dg. Lightly grease (or spray with Pam) bottom and sides of a 10" springform pan.
- Mix together ground nuts and graham cracker crumbs. Add 3 T melted butter and mix with fork until crumbly. Press into bottom of springform pan and bake for 5 minutes in preheated oven. Remove and set aside.
- Place jellyroll pan with sides on bottom rack of oven and fill 1/2 full with warm water. Close door and continue heating.
- Put cream cheese, eggs, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla in mixing bowl. Beat thoroughly with electric mixer until smooth and pour over crust. Place baking pan on rack above water bath pan. Bake for 50 minutes or until filling is almost set. Remove from oven (do not turn oven off) and let stand for 15 minutes.
- Blend sour cream, sugar and vanilla with mixer and pour over cake. Bake for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from oven. If cheesecake is slightly jiggly, don't worry. It will firm up while refrigerated.
- Refrigerate at least 6 hours (I refrigerate overnight at this point and finish up the next day.).
- Remove cheesecake from springform pan (running knife around sides to prevent sticking) and put on serving platter.
- Arrange whole strawberries pointed side up evenly over top of cheesecake.
- Prepare glaze by mixing water and cornstarch over low heat in saucepan until well mixed, stirring constantly. Add jelly and heat, stirring constantly until jelly mixture melts and thickens. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice or liqueur. Cool to room temperature.
- Spoon glaze over all until small amount drips down sides of cake. (Perhaps there may be slightly more glaze than needed, but it can be saved to heat and pour over ice cream another time.).
- Serve and enjoy!
- (NOTE: If you wish you could cook the cheesecake in a water bath to avoid cracking a bit on top. I don't, because the top is covered with the preserves and strawberries so it doesn't show anyway!).

FC Dallas rolls into the MLS Playoffs tops in West
Published Monday, October 26, 2015 11:27 AM by Shane Barrow
Mission accomplished. FC Dallas has won the MLS Western Conference and now head into the playoffs as the top seed. That means the road to the MLS Cup comes right through Frisco, Texas a place where the team has been almost unbeatable this year.
Sunday was the final regular season MLS match as FC Dallas welcomed a desperate San Jose Earthquake side to town. San Jose were fighting for their playoff lives and needed a victory to make the playoffs. They threw everything at the home side as they bossed the opening twenty minutes of both halves.
The pressure paid off as San Jose grabbed an early lead through Quincy Amarikwa in the 13th miunte of play. The strategy of going right at FCD center back Zach Loyd was paying off as Loyd is well undersized for the position and every high ball seemed to find him. FC Dallas would weather the storm and get their legs though.
The tide would turn midway through the half and the quality of the Western Conference leaders began to show through. Mauro Diaz, Fabian Castillo and Michael Barrios were just too much to handle and FCD tied the match before halftime as Castillo blazed down the left flank before sliding the ball across the six. Mauro Diaz latched on and flicked home.
San Jose would emerge from the break on the front foot once again. This time they were unable to cash in before Dallas once again took control. The frustration was starting to show for the Earthquakes as their season was slowly slipping away as the minutes ticked off. A draw would not be enough. Matia Perez Garcia could not handle the pressure and was sent off in the 67th for a silly violent conduct play.
FC Dallas would cash in and ten minutes later found the winner. A turnover from San Jose led to the counter with Fabian Castillo slipping a ball that Victor Ulloa would slot home. San Jose would go quietly from there with Clarence Goodson spending his time whining to the referee at every opportunity. FC Dallas for the 2-1 victory and a franchise record for most wins and most points in a season.
Now comes part two of the FC Dallas mission. The MLS Western Conference Playoffs. The team gets a week off with a first round bye while Portland, Seattle, Sporting Kansas City and the LA Galaxy fight it out for the right to advance to face Vancouver and Dallas for a spot at MLS Cup 2015.

My latest foray to Greece and its islands was fab as usual. The September sun was shining, the sea was warm and the public discourse dominated by the tax modernisation requested by the EU, the ECB and the IMF (the 'troïka'). The subject was the abolition of 199 taxes towards third parties imposed by the […]Read More
Greece: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Fix Hellas I know that "Fix Hellas" sounds like a cry of despair, but anyone who's travelled to Greece before the early 1980s surely remembers ordering and drinking Fix Hellas, the only beer produced in Greece with a national distribution network. The country's Soviet-style industry control system, import controls and a small domestic market ensured […]Read More

Hey guys, this is my first post of 2014 and welcome to my new blog! I hope the new design is looking good for you all 🙂 Anyway today I want to talk about how this year I've decided it's about time I lost my extra weight. I know it's easy to talk about these things but much harder to actually go through with it and make some significant progress. I'm determined for this to be different though, I mean for a start I have you guys to keep me accountable right?
How I plan to lose weight
First things first, I have to improve my diet. I am going to cut out all sugar, processed food and limit my intake of refined carbs and grains. My hope is that by keeping my blood sugar levels stable I should be able to be healthy and not store so much unnecessary fat. This isn't obviously my idea, it is something which many people do. There is of course the Atkins diet and the Paleo diet where people tend to cut out a lot of carbs and of course sugar, and they both seem pretty effective at getting into shape.
The other thing I going to do is try and exercise five times per week and to do that I have purchased a very cheap but cute rowing machine. It is the Stamina Body Trac Glider 1050 and you can get it from Amazon for just over $100. I don't expect it to be of professional quality BUT that isn't important to me, I just want to get fit and by all accounts this machine is good enough for my needs. Also it's around the same price as two months of a gym membership so I say it's a bargain.
As a note there are many many different types of rowing machines out there, so if you have a bigger budget I'm sure you can get something nicer than mine which I hope will keep you motivated. Even though I bought a cheap model, I did read lots of rowing machine reviews first to find the best rowing machine. Well when I say "best" I mean best for me, everybody has different needs so just make sure to do some research first and get something you are happy with.
The reason I chose an indoor rower is because I am a pretty lazy person by nature, hence the extra weight! This combined with the fact my closest gym is a good half hour drive away made me search for something I could use at home. Now I didn't want to buy a whole gym worth of different exercise machines, I don't have the budget nor space for that. So after reading about how rowing machines offer a full body workout I decided this would be the best option for me.
Signing Out
Anyway guys I hope you found this post useful and I wish anybody else embarking on their own journey to lose weight all the best of luck!

Dear Maiken, I love when you update the blog! I really do, you know this (or so I hope!) I come here every week to check and I am very happy that there's a post now (Bloglovin sometimes is not delivering posts to me, strange. That's why I come here to be sure of a new post). I loved the recap and the first picture, you should frame - it's so beautiful! I loved the pink sweater! You look like an angel! I loved that the Vices pair of shoes cost 7 euros, what? So good and beautiful! Both pink and golden are lovely. The price for the Timberland boots were reasonable, fair. 66 for so good quality is really good - I love Timberland and your boots look great! There are time in the winter that I really dress in jeans and a sweater and boots, the whole week long. It's so comfortable! Loed to see your plants and seeds, and the veranda whhere they will sit, so big, so good! And s nice that you went to E's grandparents and oooohhh, Elvis is such a cutie! What for a sweet photo! So I hope that March is being a great month for you, dear Maike, and that you enjoy spring a lot! Hope you have a lovely day and weekend, soon!ReplyDelete

2nd Colorway for the Block Party
4 comments:
Maybe two pink gingham hearts with an M monogrammed on one side and plain on the other? Or a corner covered in gingham with a rickrack trim?ReplyDelete
I'm liking those ideas! I'll have to get with you and get more details about the "how to". :)ReplyDelete
I agree with Robinznest, I would appliqué on to your choice of fabric using whatever shape, then maybe put a second fabric on the back, machine quilt around with a zigzag, then cut the excess close to the stitches.ReplyDelete
BTW I forgot to say, I already signed up for the new quilters blog hop, I hear great reports so, should be fun.
How about two layers of polar fleece sandwiched and bound together? That way you could hide the messy back of any decorative stitching between the layers. A few decorate ties would hold the layers together.ReplyDelete
Alternatively, hand applique in embroidery thread and make sure you are really neat so it looks ok from the back. The outline will also be readable from the back. Thankfully, Ms work in both directions.

SINGAPORE is more forgiving of failure these days but it still does not get top marks for encouraging those who have failed to try again, said several MPs.
Yesterday, four of them suggested ways to encourage risk-taking, such as giving greater publicity for those who failed but picked up pieces again, and incentives for risk-taking civil servants.
"It seems we have convinced ourselves that we are too small to risk failure," said Nominated MP Eunice Olsen.
"But the notion that we cannot afford to fail or take risks is a hurdle in the journey to bigger and better things. Failure is one of the best teachers, "she added, praising investment company ERC Holdings for its work.
ERC works with Economic Development Board to help struggling enterprises turn round by training and guiding their entrepreneurs.
"To me, we fail only we give up on ourselves," ERC's chief executive officer Andy Ong told The Strait Times. " We have to encourage people to keep trying."
Ms Olsen also told the House that "we should give failure more publicity – from those who have turned it around to those who are still trying".
Ms Penny Low (Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC) suggested that the civil service take a leaf out of the book of large French companies.
They assume those who do not make mistakes are the ones who did nothing new.
"Instead of getting a blemish in their record for failed attempts, they get rewarded for taking risks and a blemish for not innovating," she said.
Mr Wee Siew Kim (Ang Mo Kio GRC) said there should be more room for second chances in education.
Meanwhile, Mr Teo Ser Luck(Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC) wants the private sector to take the lead in investing in new ventures, including those with no track record.
"We should not be too quick to jump to conclusions and turn down opportunities, "he said.
"Who would have thought YouTube or Google would be so wildly successful?" he added, referring to the popular video-sharing website and Internet search engine.

Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen
Publisher: Speak
Pub. Date: May 11th, 2004
Pages: 288
Age Level: Young Adult
Obtained: Bought
Best friends for years, Scarlett and Halley have shared everything. But at the beginning of their junior year in high school, Scarlett discovers she's pregnant and their friendship enters a new and challenging phase
My Thoughts:
As with all of the other Sarah Dessen's books that I have read, this one is terrific! Everything changes with one phone call. A life lost, lives change, a new life born and a community is brought together by merely chance. Scarlett and Halley are the perfect example of best friends. They support each other in ways that even I haven't experienced with my own friends. Halley has always seen her mother and Scarlett as the strong ones, but this time it's Halley who has to be strong for both of them. Michael may be "dead" physically but he seemed so alive to me by the way that he was just ever so present in their lives! Then of coarse this is a Dessen book and we of coarse are going to have the love factor here. Halley ends up falling for bad boy/ Michael's best friend Macon. This book goes into forgiveness, the choices of having to grow up even if your still a kid yourself, and the power of young love. Dessen continues to completely captivate me in all of her stories and this one is no exception. Definitely a must read guys! I give this novel 4 out of 5 paws.
When did you meet your best friend? Lemme know in the comment section below.
As always,
That Chick That Reads

text: I am much more comfortable shooting portraits than I am landscapes. I also practically never use long exposures in my photography or a tripod at all for that matter. But with my trip to Iceland coming up in December – and me being the huge dork that I am – I've started practicing. I was feeling inspired one evening and trekked down to Land's End in San Francisco, and caught a sutro baths sunset practice. I even wore my new Iceland-intended hiking boots to keep my feet warm and dry a few inches deep in the Pacific.

My Secret Killer Fudgy Brownies
November 24, 2012
I am known for two things, my brownies and my chocolate chip cookies. Since I am keeping my cookie recipe to myself, I decided it was only fair to let my brownie recipe free. If you plan on making this fudgy masterpiece, you have to remember they resemble more of a fudge than an actual brownie. They are so dense that they need to stay refrigerated. I recommend taking them out 30 minutes before serving. I make these for every family occasion, and you can usually find some hidden somewhere in my freezer.
***I always make these the day before I serve them, they need to firm up to cut.
- 3 cups sugar
- ¾ lbs. butter (3 sticks)
- 8 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 6 eggs
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- 12 ounce bag semi sweet chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Generously coat 9 x 13 inch baking pan with butter or spray.
- Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Let cool.
- In large bowl beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add cooled chocolate mixture.
- Stir in flour (or use your lowest setting on mixer), until just combined.
- Add chocolate chips.
- Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes.
- Take out and immediately transfer to fridge until next day or until firm.
- When ready to serve, cut around edge of pan with sharp knife.
- Lay cutting board on top of pan and invert brownies, they should slide right out.
- Turn over and cut into small squares, they are very rich.
- Remember, put in fridge until 30 minutes before serving!
***I use this kind of pan.

ExpressionEngine 2.0 Beta
January 5, 2010 in Industry News
At Flourish Web Design, we know and love ExpressionEngine, so much so that we use it almost exclusively for our client projects. Unlike most of its competitors, ExpressionEngine is well-documented, commercially supported and extremely extensible, built to be customized rather than forcing developers to hack it to pieces, then put it back together again to achieve custom functionality. As great of a piece of software as it is, however, there are still some lacking features. That's why we're so excited to hear that the ExpressionEngine 2.0 Beta is now available!
New Features That We're Stoked About
- More options for custom fields — We love custom fields. They allow us to create beautifully designed custom pages that are chock-full of dynamic content. One of our biggest gripes with ExpressionEngine 1 is that the custom field types are limited to text boxes and text areas. In ExpressionEngine 2, we'll be able to add all kinds of other options right off the bat, including checkboxes, radio buttons, even address and date pickers. This will streamline the workflow for both developers and content editors. For example, imagine you are a client publishing a product to your e-commerce store. One of the things ExpressionEngine 2.0 will allow us to do is present you with a checkbox list of display options for the product. You'll be able to check off all the places where you want the product to appear (for example, on a home page slideshow, on the main store page, in a sidebar on your blog, the possibilities are limitless). Achieving this in ExpressionEngine 1 is a bit more complicated for both the developer and content editor.
- Image editor in-browser — Our designs are created to extremely tight tolerances, down to the pixel. When our clients upload images for certain fields, they must often be cropped to specific dimensions to display properly. Whereas before this required a graphics program like Photoshop or ImageReady, it can now be done in-browser.
- Improved control panel, including an iPhone app — The ExpressionEngine 1 control panel is very utilitarian, but not the most attractive interface out there, certainly not on par with the WordPress administrative controls. While there are custom control panel themes out there, we're looking forward to seeing a more sleek and professional looking control panel out of the box. Additionally, the ability to make updates from the iPhone is just downright awesome and another feature that should help cement ExpressionEngine's popularity.
What Does This Mean For Our Clients?
We are currently in the process of evalutating ExpressionEngine 2.0, and things are looking mighty promising. Within a few weeks, we may be ready to recommend ExpressionEngine 2.0 to our clients, and will hopefully be developing our first client site on it soon. For new and existing clients using or interested in using ExpressionEngine 1, this is no reason to be alarmed. We will still continue supporting it for the forseeable future, as most of the two pieces of software are fundamentally still the same.
