Published Document
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"),[1] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,[2] notice is hereby given that on October 20, 2010, the EDGA Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange" or the "EDGA") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which items have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit Start Printed Page 66406comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend EDGA Rule 11.5(a)(2) to provide system functionality that will cancel any portion of a market order submitted to the Exchange that would execute at a price that is more than $0.50 or 5 percent worse than last sale at the time the order initially reaches the Exchange, whichever is greater. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Internet Web site at http://www.directedge.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The purpose of the proposed rule change is to protect market participants from executions at prices that are significantly worse than the last sale at the time of order entry by providing Exchange system functionality that will cancel any portion of a market order (as defined in Rule 11.5(a)(2)) that would execute at a price that is 50 cents or 5 percentage points worse than the consolidated last sale, whichever is greater. Any portion of a market order that would otherwise execute outside of these thresholds will be immediately cancelled back to the User.[3] The Exchange believes that Users who submit market orders to the Exchange generally intend to receive executions for the full size of their orders at or near the consolidated last sale and are not always aware that there may not be enough liquidity at that price to fill the entire size of their orders. The Exchange believes that the market order thresholds proposed in this rule filing will help avoid executions of market orders at prices that are significantly worse than the consolidated last sale and avoid potentially creating clearly erroneous situations.
Those Users who intend to trade against liquidity at multiple price points from the consolidated last sale beyond the market order thresholds proposed in this rule filing can clearly and unambiguously specify that intent by submitting a marketable limit order to the Exchange.
2. Statutory Basis
The statutory basis for the proposed rule change is Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,[4] which requires the rules of an exchange to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The proposed rule change also is designed to support the principles of Section 11A(a)(1) [5] of the Act in that it seeks to assure fair competition among brokers and dealers and among exchange markets. The Exchange believes that the proposed rule meets these requirements in that it seeks to promote transparency for how order flow will be handled during a trading pause.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others
The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested parties.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (1) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (2) impose any significant burden on competition; and (3) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act [6] and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.[7]
A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally may not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.[8] However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6) [9] permits the Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become operative upon filing. The Commission notes (i) the proposal is similar to existing thresholds on market orders adopted by The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc., BATS Exchange, Inc., and NYSE Arca, Inc; (ii) it presents no novel issues; and (iii) it may provide a benefit to market participants. For these reasons, the Commission believes it is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest to waive the 30-day operative delay, and hereby grants such waiver.[10]
At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:
Electronic Comments
- Use the Commission's Internet comment form (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml); or
- Send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include File Start Printed Page 66407Number SR-EDGA-2010-15 on the subject line.

The International Comparative Legal Guide to: Oil & Gas Regulation 2015
1 Overview of Natural Gas Sector
1.1 A brief outline of Turkey's natural gas sector, including a general description of: natural gas reserves; natural gas production including the extent to which production is associated or non-associated natural gas; import and export of natural gas, including liquefied natural gas
(LNG) liquefaction and export facilities, and/or receiving and re-gasification facilities ("LNG facilities"); natural gas pipeline transportation and distribution/transmission network; natural gas storage; and commodity sales and trading.
Turkey has long held a strategic role in the natural gas map of the world. Relying on its key geographical status, market players, be it State or private entities, have been recognising Turkey as a regional energy hub.
As of 2013, Turkish natural gas reserves were estimated at 6.2 billion m3, which at the prevailing production rates is likely to meet 10 years' national demand (http://www.tpao.gov.tr/tp5/docs/rapor/ 2013-YILI-HAM-PETROL-VE-DOGAL-GAZ-SEKTORRAPORU. pdf, pg. 29). The last decade has witnessed a significant rise (almost three times the 2002 figures) in natural gas consumption.

Wayne Rooney's proposed move to China seemed like nothing more than speculation for a long time.
Yet, in recent days, a genuine possibility has emerged that the England captain could actually leave Manchester United and head to the Far East.
The 31-year-old has achieved all there is to achieve in English football, this season surpassing Sir Bobby Charlton as the Red Devils' all-time leading goalscorer.
In a press conference before the St Etienne game, Jose Mourinho was unable to guarantee that his skipper was staying until the end of the season, insisting he wouldn't make the decision for him.
And while Rooney is still yet to confirm he's thinking about a move, Sky Sports have given one interesting update on the situation.
The star's agent Paul Stretford has now flown to China to speak with interested parties, with four Super League clubs leading the race for his signature.
They are Guangzhou Evergrande, Beijing Guoan, Jiangsu Suning and Tianjin Quanjian.
Nonetheless, it's not likely that a deal will happen before Tuesday, in which case Rooney may well see out the rest of the season in a bit-part role at Old Trafford.

Mobile Apps
What is a Mobile App?
Mobile app is short for "application software", is comprised of small computing devices such as smartphones and tablets. Mobile apps are designed to comply with various screen sizes, hardware specifications, and configurations.
A typical desktop computer will have an operating system (OS). Mobile devices also have an OS such as IOS, Android, and Windows Phone OS. It's safe to say users will have the option to download mobile apps for extended functionality, accessibility, and efficiency. Compare a mobile OS to a miniature PC. An easy place to discover mobile apps include the Apple App Store, Google Play, Windows Phone Store, and Blackberry App World.
Why do Mobile Apps matter?
- Data is often stored for quick access by fetching info through GPS location-based services, order-tracking, ticketing purchases, and credit card information.
- Mobile apps can boost productivity, efficiency, and user satisfaction.
- Mobile apps are designed for smaller devices which means no more zooming in and out on a full screened website.
- For example, checking the balance of checking account. As most will understand that navigating a website on a mobile device can become difficult. This is where Mobile Apps can become useful. A common banking Mobile App directly prompts the user for credentials.
As we share more information through the cloud, we should consider mobile apps as an easy way to store and receive information. Consider mobile apps as an alternative when compared to native desktop applications.

Did you not know?
Did you not guess,
What a reverse the Big Bang cost us
When God in Heaven
Went and lost us?
It's very rare
To sit up there
And even in ten billion years
To lose a planet
In the spheres.
Each day unfurled:
Another world.
God, of course, has few reverses
Making brand-new
But work gets dull,
One needs a lull.
Even those with mighty power
Like to relax for
Half an hour.
Aha! Ambition!
Matchless mission - -
A scheme to create a race of men
With ethics and
With acumen!
"And at their birth
I'll make the Earth
As beauteous as an April sonnet,
And place my new
Creation on it."
Purblinding flash!
Oh, boom and crash.
A zillion atoms spun in space!
"Where did they fly?
Someplace, someplace.'
"Oh, stupid, spent
The bang went off before expected,
Before mankind
Could be perfected."
Oh! Looks aghast,
The moment past.
"Where is that H2O and granite,
Where is my chosen
Little planet?'
"Oh! Fractured hope!
How will they cope,
Lost in the vast ethereal sphere,
Gripped by suspicion,
Greed and fear?'
"Oh, doom, oh gloom.
Not I? Then whom?
Who will there be to keep them moral
To teach them how
To love, not quarrel?'
And thus they're left
On Earth, bereft,
Without a God to tell them "nay",
Lost amidst
The Milky Way.
Left in the lurch
Some went to church
With good intent they said a prayer
Not knowing there was
No one there.
God searches here,
He searches there
On moons, black dwarfs, dark energy,
But not a human
Could he see.
"Ah! Infinitesimal speck!
Hey, what the heck?
If men on Earth possess a flaw?
Forget it? I'll just
Make some more.'
"T'was all in vain,
Let's try again.
I'll now perfect what once I started
And find a home for them
That's charted.'
"Now let me see
Which galaxy?
Should it be Star Queen, Sombrero, Smoking Gun?
There! Flash! That's better!
Now I'm done!"
And thus time passed
Until at last,
In rambling past some neutron stars,
He happened upon
Earth and Mars.
Ah, eureka!
Planet seeker!
He cried, "Aha, that's where they've gone.
Let's see how they are
Getting on."
(With one accord!)
We're glad you've come as prophesied!
We thought we'd see you
When we died."
So saying, men
Proceeded then
To pepper God like proper pests
With thousands of
Inane requests.
Most were self-seeking,
Like "Bless me, Lord, and kindly strike
And punish those whom
I dislike."
And God above
Said "Where is love?
I should have been around to ground 'em.
I rather wish I'd
Never found 'em."

Data has become a vital part of how businesses work. Whether that's in predicting financial trends or streamlining processes, any business worth its salt is using it to their advantage. However, only in the past 20 years, with pioneers like Billy Beane, has data really started to shape the way professional sports teams are run. Earlier this year, we highlighted the idea of data analytics in sport and some of the roles involved, you can read more here. To understand a bit more about this multimillion dollar part of professional sport, we've taken a deeper look at some of the specific examples of how data has been used in some of the country's biggest sporting leagues.

Olivia Keene, at a early age, has the ability to cipher sums. Her father, being proud of her ability, often took her to the local pub and racetrack, placing wagers on her ability to give the correct answers. Around the age of twelve, something happened and her father lost interest in her, drinking to excess, becoming very quarrelsome, and making Olivia's life miserable.
Coming home late one night she surprises a man trying to strangle her mother. She grabs a fire iron, striking him on the head and he falls to the floor. Thinking she has murdered the man, her mother encourages her to flee from the home and go to St. Aldwyns, a girl's school where she might obtain a position.
On the way, Olivia overhears a conversation revealing a secret she should not have heard. Lord Bradley, occupant of the Manor, and whose secret she had overheard, forces her to take a position in the nursery, caring for his two young cousins. This way he could assure himself of her silence. Keeping her own secret, Lord Bradley's secret, and his contempt for her makes for a very stressful life.
The story is moving, mysterious, and romantic as the writer keeps you focused on the life of a Governess in an English Manor where nothing is as it appears to be. Mrs. Klassen did a excellent job of holding my interest to the final conclusion. I strongly recommend you read the book to see if Olivia's and Lord Bradley's secrets are exposed, what impact the secrets have on the lives of those living at the Manor. A must read for those who enjoy historical fiction, you will become a fan of Mrs. Klassen and look forward to reading all of her books.
This book was supplied by the publisher as a review copy.

Murray Goulburn loses suppliers
Murray Goulburn Co-operative has recorded a first-half-year loss of about $31.9 million and has suffered a 20 per cent reduction in milk supply.
The big milk processor has also experienced a 14 per cent cut in revenue compared to the same period last year.
While the result looks disappointing on paper, new managing director Ari Mervis said the financial results were not unexpected in a particularly challenging year.
Mr Mervis said it was flagged in October last year that there would be a debt generated due to the attempt to maintain a competitive milk price.
So, he said, the financial result was broadly in line with last year.
''Record rainfalls and high levels of competitor activity have reduced our milk intake, impacting revenue and our ability to fully recover fixed costs and overheads,'' Mr Mervis said.
''In addition, although the recent increases in the global prices of dairy commodities are welcome, they have not recovered in time to impact on MG's first half sales volumes.''
The company has blamed aggressive market competitiveness for milk supply and seasonal conditions for the big drop in milk supply.
Mr Mervis said there were about 350 suppliers who had left the co-operative since May but there were still about 2200 suppliers and his focus was on them and retaining them by obtaining the best he could for them.
He said the company was pursuing cost reductions and after last April more than 200 positions had been removed from the corporate office, generating savings about $10 million to $15 million in the current financial year.
When fully implemented it will create about $50-$60 million of savings annually.
A company asset review is under way which Mr Mervis said was being pursued with diligence and rigour.
Mr Mervis said he was aware of speculation about the future of the Rochester factory but he said no decisions had been made.
''It would be premature to draw any conclusions.''
The outlook was more favourable with on-farm conditions and global conditions.
''While there is a lag on the benefit of those commodity prices if they are more favourable and optimistic, there is a general consensus that things are looking more positive.''
Mr Mervis will be visiting suppliers in the region during the next few weeks.
He said he wanted to rebuild trust and confidence in the company.
Murray Goulburn is forecasting a full year milk price of $4.95/kg, with the current average about $4.92.

Crocus Group
The Crocus Group is (historically) a splinter group from the British Iris Society. It is a very loose assemblage of persons with a shared interest in the genus Crocus. The group has no formal constitution and currently there is no annual subscription for membership. There is a joining fee of UK five pounds sterling, and occasionally, if funds get low the committee may call on members to make a further contribution toward running costs.
The Group is very informal, and for 21 years from its formation in 1974 was organised by the efforts of one person, the much missed plantswoman Primrose Warburg. Since 1996 the Group's activities have been organised by several of the members. These are:-
Patron - who could not possibly be anyone other than Brian Mathew, the guru of Crocus, who kindly keeps us updated with botanical and taxonomic information.
Committee - two of our members
Secretary - Tony Goode
If you are interested in joining The Crocus Group please email Tony Goode for more information
The main activities of the Group are:-
- Production of two newsletters annually in the early Spring and late Summer, where details will be found of all the other activities as well as articles by members and other information.
- Arranging visits in the Spring and Autumn to see Crocus collections, gardens and other places that may be of interest to members.
- A sale and auction of Crocus corms in the dormancy period for Crocus in the early autumn.
- A seed exchange that gets seed to and from the members at the optimum time for sowing to ensure good germination, this being as soon as possible after seed ripening.
- Awarding a trophy known as the Crocus Spoon to the best pan of Crocus in an AGS show each year.

Some thoughts on Crocus sieberi by Alan Edwards
This note was penned on 9th January 1999, a day of phenomenal winter warmth in the UK which brought Brimstone and Peacock butterflies out to enjoy the sunshine ( 14 deg C in Westhumble and 15 deg C in London, a level unsurpassed since 1841 ). The sustained mildness of recent weeks has encouraged my winter and vernal Crocus to be more precocious this year to the extent that today I was able to record a total of 23 taxa in flower in the greenhouses and 5 in the garden.
Among those in pots were representatives of the tribe of C. sieberi including a curious form from Didima in the NE of the Peloponnese which manifests an ability to commence flowering in the third week of November and continues intermittently until mid January. My corms of this eccentric were raised from seed collected by Melvyn Jope in 1993. On a subsequent autumn visit to the site he found plants in flower but in cultivation his material flowered in the spring.
I have examined the flowers but can find no trace of pubescence in the throat which suggests that it is a form of subsp. nivalis which normally should not extend much further north than the outliers of Mt. Taygetos. However, I have also just examined some C. sieberi collected on Mt. Kerketion, west of Trikala in N. Greece ( in the heart of subsp. sublimis territory ) which also lack pubescence in the throat so I am thoroughly confused and leads me to question the validity of separating the two subspecies by the presence or absence of throat hairs or even on the basis of geographical range.
During a visit to the Langada Pass between Kalamata and Sparta in late May 1998 we discovered that the woodland floor of the towering and vast forests of Black Pine that clothe this northern section of the Taygetos range was full of presumed subsp. nivalis. I found it intriguing that this subsp. can also be seen in a totally different environment only a few kilometres away to the south among the melting snows and screes of the summit slopes of Mt. Taygetos ( Prophitis Ilias ) at 2000m. In the conifer forests of the Langada Pass subsp. nivalis has adapted to life not only under a canopy of trees but also bracken. Having such a robust and ubiquitous companion calls for some very precise timing in the process of maturation. This was exemplified by finding plants with near ripe seed capsules just as the new seasons bracken shoots were emerging and expanding. Alan Edwards
I certainly sympathise with Alan's comments above, as I too have been examining the throats of sieberi taxa for pubescence with mixed findings. Looking at representatives of subspecies atticus, nivalis and sublimis from many different collections and sites I am beginning to wonder whether throat pubescence is variable in all these taxa. Mind you, these hairs are difficult to see even with x15 magnification. DBS
Crocus medius by David Stephens
I have at least three different stocks of Crocus medius in cultivation here, obtained from various sources over the years. Two of these are probably the same stock, being a commercial clone of some antiquity in the UK. I also have a stock which originated from the garden of Cedric Morris, though whether it was originally a wild collection of his own or his friends, or is yet again more stock of the old commercial clone, I do not know.
What I do know, is that I believe that the old commercial clone(s) of medius in the UK are virused. All the forms I grow and have seen look alike, and all have a curious reddish streak running through the background colour of the segments. I have wanted to grow 'clean' medius from plants or seeds of known wild origin for a long time, but there appeared to be little to no collections of known provenance from which to draw material in the UK.
Also, I had been fascinated by an obscure article published by a botanist in the journals of an Italian Botanic garden which sought to rename medius on the grounds that the herbarium specimens of the type plant were actually conspecific with nudiflorus. He suggested the name ligusticus, as the whole of the known wild range of the plant lies within the Italian province of Liguria. There are he says two distinct populations based on the Alpic calcareous and Appeninic serpenticolous areas that they grow.
If you look at a map of the Riviera border between France and Italy, just on the border is a town called Roqquebrunne (there are various spellings). This is the most westerly point at which medius will be found, growing in the hills above the town, or at least that was the case in the early part of this century, it is pretty much built over now. The coast road eastwards through the Italian Riviera for the next 75 miles or so to Genoa is paralleled inland by the ranges of the Alps. If you take any road going north from the coast road in the whole stretch between the French/Italian border and Genoa, you are likely to find medius. After Genoa, the coast turns south into the main body of Italy, and there is a gap where no medius grows between where the Alps come to an end and the Northern Appenines start. The second place where populations of medius are found is in a smaller area than the Alpic (as opposed to alpine which has a different meaning) populations, being found at various points inland from the coast into the Northern Appenines for a distance of about 20 miles ending at the town of La Spezia on the Ligurian/Tuscany border.
This last October, I decided to take advantage of one of the cheap flight offers, and took a three day trip to see medius in the wild. I flew to Nice in France where a car was hired and over the next days drove to Genoa and back, exploring inland as I went. Unfortunately there was not time in such a short trip to turn the corner into the Appenines and see those populations.
Well, I have to say that seeing the plant wild in three different stations has left me with a totally different impression from my previous ideas, which were based on the old commercial clone(s). Firstly, the plant is large and vigorous. On first sight I thought I was looking at colchicum as I whizzed past them in the car. Then I realised this wasn't quite right and got out to look more closely. Until you look very closely, the similarity to nudiflorus is striking. Long naked stems up to 25 cm topped by large purplish goblet shaped flowers with huge multi branched orange stigma is the general description. They were mainly growing in sparse grass on woodland edges at no great altitudes, and were in quite dense populations with closely spaced plants, although as usual with Crocus they grew as individuals and did not form clumps. Flower size and colour variation was quite significant, and none of them looked anything like the commercial clone(s). The plate in Brian's monograph is actually very well observed in all details, particularly if you envisage it as being very large.
Although seemingly confined to one Italian province, the evidence is that it is fairly common in quite a number of stations with no apparent threat to its continued existence. The few corms I took have luckily formed seedpods and now I know where to find them I shall one day return for a large enough seed collection to share with the Crocus Group to enable us all to grow the real thing. In the meantime the few seeds I hope to have available will be in the seed exchange. DBS
Crocus growers are well aware that we have more species, subspecies, formae and cultivars in cultivation than ever before. The pot of Crocus pelistericus which I have before me today would, ten years ago, have been one of my less conceivable aspirations. Crocus paschei was unknown then, but is now proving a very amenable species. Crocus mathewii, with its willingness to set abundant seed, must surely soon appear in commercial bulb lists.
However some species which were formerly common in cultivation seem to be in danger of becoming rare. In the interests of garden plant conservation we must try to ensure that these do not slip through our fingers. One such species is Crocus olivieri. Crocus olivieri subsp. olivieri used to be readily and cheaply available and I used to be able to rely on having several pots full of its cheerful orange flowers. Now I find I have but few corms, partly due to my attempts (unsuccessful) to establish it in the open garden. Do other growers find that it is becoming more difficult to maintain and increase? And has any member of the Crocus Group grown or ever seen the pale lemon yellow-flowered plant referred to by Brian Mathew as forma balcanicus? Another butter-yellow coloured plant used to be available commercially as C. suterianus 'Jamie'. I have "advertised" for this plant but with no response and I fear it must be lost to cultivation.
And what about subsp. balansae? It used to be readily available from bulb nurseries but has disappeared from many (but not quite all) of the lists. I have only once had access to corms of known wild origin and they grew in the open garden without difficulty. This was a good deep orange form found by Dr. J.R. Marr. Subsequently an even more striking form carrying the cultivar name 'Zwanenberg' became briefly available. I still treasure two remaining corms of this. But why do we not see more of this highly garden-worthy plant?
Finally we have subsp. istanbulensis which was the subject of an article by Andy Byfield in Crocus Bulletin No. 21. I do not know whether this has ever been in cultivation. Plants so named have been offered commercially in the U.K., but those I received were certainly not the true subspecies. Though it is a very rare Crocus in the wild, one must hope that, through the efforts of the Turkish Indigenous Propagation Project, material will be made available to skilled growers.

Crocus in Cyprus, 1998 - By Steve Keeble
Our first trip of 1998 was to Paphos, during the first week of February, this being chosen to coincide with the flowering of Crocus hartmannianus which we successfully located near it's type locality, east of the Troodos mountains. They were very sparingly dotted around a steep, moist area amongst Cistus scrub. The variation between individuals was striking, ranging from a broad purple/black stripe to almost completely dark outer petals, even one strongly feathered one. The ground colour was always a pale mauve with an orange throat and the black anthers confirmed the plants identity.
C. cyprius was found flowering near Platres at around 1200m situated in grassy forest clearings. The summit region, where it would flower weeks later, was at this time under several inches of snow (friends tell us that this extended to much lower levels during unseasonably inclement weather that March). We arrived late in the day and did not see the flowers open, but the reverses all had a very dark stripe, which did not extend to the petal tips. Variation in flower size was evident, as was a range of ground colour from near white to a clear mauve. The orange throat previously observed in
C. hartmannianus appeared to be confined to the tube only, at least from the outside.
Plants found flowering at lower elevations on the rugged, wild and beautiful Akhamas peninsula included Cyclamen persicum, several Muscari, Anemone coronaria, Barlia robertiana, the occasional Orchis and Ophrys with many more orchids promising flower later. The most prolific area for seeing most of these was the coast path westwards from the 'Baths of Aphrodite'. We knew that the autumn flowering Crocus veneris grew in the areas we visited but it's foliage remained undiscovered. This, along with several sightings of Cyclamen cyprium foliage encouraged us to return at the end of the following November. This time Crocus veneris was easily located at several sites within 3 km of Droushia. C. veneris has a small, starry white flower, with fine black lines running from the yellow throat down the tube. Some strongly growing individuals had 5 or 6 leaves, defying one of the features separating it from C. aleppicus It was always in open grassy situations and never amongst exposed rocks, seeming to have a suicidal liking for tracks, particularly bearing in mind the recent tarmacing of many local ones.
We revisited the locations of C. cyprius and C. hartmannianus. Unsurprisingly they were not in evidence but the real surprise was the presence of a C. veneris form (not expected to be found on igneous rocks) at the site of the latter, this time with a fine purple line down the length of the outer segments. Climatic differences from the previous year were evident by the desiccated condition of the Cistus and the sodden state of the soil, perhaps promising a more prolific flowering in 1999.
The aforementioned coastal path again proved worthwhile, with good populations of Narcissus serotinus. The nearby Adonis Trail provided Narcissus tazetta and a sighting of Spiranthes spiralis. Other bulbous plants encountered on the Akhamas peninsula included Scilla autumnalis (profusely), a Muscari along with Cyclamen cyprium which rarely carried more than a couple of flowers and usually none at all. Following a 3 hr drive to Troodos a circuit of the easy 1800 metre altitude summit path revealed several interesting but mostly non-bulbous alpine endemics awaiting the snow. Along the south coast and most dramatic were the huge populations of Narcissus serotinus within Episkopi garrison - no stopping or photography (or goats) allowed here.
Several non-botanical interests were indulged in - wonderful walking country varying from easy strolls to assault courses through gorges and prickly scrub (I should admit that many tens of miles were walked without seeing any interesting plant life, but the scenery was so good that it didn't matter), exceptional local food, archaeological sites - we will have to go back in April to see those orchids we missed!

OKCMOA Presents First Large-format Photography Exhibit
By Tourism Industry Partner
Oklahoma City, OK—This fall, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art will present its first, large-format photography exhibition featuring works by internationally acclaimed photographer Michael Eastman. Faded Elegance: Photographs of Havana by Michael Eastman, opening September 8 through December 31, 2011, consists of twenty-nine, 6 x 7 1/2 ft. photographs taken by the artist between 1999 and 2010.
For more than a decade, Eastman has captured Havana's changing cultural landscape in his images of the city's architecture and lush interiors, ravaged by the effects of time. His large-scale photographs evoke the nostalgia and wealth of a bygone era, while shedding light on the harsh economic realities faced in present day Cuba. While in Havana, Eastman photographed a number of subjects, from the interiors of homes along Ambassador Way, to stairwells and music schools, to abstract patterns found on the exteriors of buildings. Eastman is known for his richly colored photographs, which he captures with his 4 x 5 camera. This exhibition will be the first to explore the depth and range of Eastman's Havana photographs.
"The Oklahoma City Museum of Art is pleased to be able to present such a fine sampling of Michael Eastman's famous photographs of Havana, Cuba," said Glen Gentele, president and chief executive officer. "Visitors to the exhibition will be captivated by Eastman's images. They portray the grand elegance of Cuba's past while providing a lens through which we can experience the dramatic interiors and architecture that has survived the passages of time."
Based in St. Louis, Michael Eastman has established himself as one of the world's leading contemporary photographic artists. The self-taught photographer has spent four decades documenting interiors and facades in cities as diverse as Havana, Paris, Rome, and New Orleans, producing large-scale photographs unified by their visual precision, monumentality, and painterly use of color. Eastman is most recognized for his explorations of architectural form and the textures of decay, which create mysterious narratives about time and place. He continues to resist the digital movement, capturing his images on film and printing them himself.
Eastman's photographs have appeared in Time, Life, and American Photographer, and are included in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the International Center of Photography, The Art Institute of Chicago, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and other prestigious institutions. His books include Vanishing America (2008, Rizzoli) and Horses (2003, Knopf), which is now in its fifth edition. Eastman's forthcoming full-color publication Havana (2011, Prestel) is a vivid and poetic tribute to a vibrant, unique city and culture. The book is comprised of over 90 photographs, the fruits of his four trips to Cuba over the last 12 years. Contributors include Cuban-born writer and poet Achy Obejas and photography author and critic Vicki Goldberg (The Power of Photography and Light Matters.).

This weekend we decided to get out of Los Angeles and head to the central valley to visit some family and friends. Getting out of town was a little tricky as it was our first time packing for three and we didn't anticipate the changing/feeding/changing cycle we would get in as we left town. After 4 hours and a few parking lot nursing sessions, we made it to my mother's house where we baked brownies and introduced Wally to his uncle Cam.
On Sunday we had a magical day in Three Rivers at my friends Max and Corina's beautiful home. Corina informed us about a rad new restaurant called Ol' Buckaroo where we ate grass fed beef and drank Mexican cokes. On the way back down the hill, we visited my mother's antique store and found a few great scores including a South Western tambourine and straw hat. To finish the weekend off, we met a couple of friend's babies for the first time.
My visits to the valley are always short and sweet and I am grateful that I have so many wonderful people to fill the schedule.

Contrary to published reports, superstar rapper The Game has not been banned from conducting interviews on BBC's Radio 1 station, AllHipHop.com has learned.
Last week, various websites, including AllHipHop.com, reported that the rapper was permanently banned from conducting interviews, due to homophobic comments the rapper made during an interview lastsummer.
A complaint was filed against the BBC over the homophobic comments the rapper made during a July 2006 interview on The Jo Whiley Show on BBC's Radio 1.
According to the false reports, The Game was supposedly banned from conducting interviews on the BBC due to the comments, but his music would still be allowed to be played of the airwaves.
A representative for the BBC told AllHipHop.com that the information is in accurate.
"The BBC does not ban artists, but we do have editorial guidelines making clear that we do not condone homophobic comments or bad language, which all artists are expected to follow when they are on air during a live interview," a representative for BBC's Radio 1 told AllHipHop.com.
The warning comes as The Game tours Europe on a promotional tour and is scheduled to make several interview appearances on Radio 1 and 1Xtra.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Pinch-hitter Coco Crisp snapped a scoreless tie in the seventh inning with an RBI-single that gave the Cleveland Indians a 1-0 win over the Chicago Cubs in a pivotal Game Three of the World Series on Friday.
Cleveland seized a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven Fall Classic and spoiled an Opening Night party for the Cubs, who were hosting their first World Series game in 71 years.
The game ended in frustrating fashion for the Cubs, who left runners on second and third in the ninth inning when Javier Baez struck out against closer Cody Allen in the second shutout loss of the series for Chicago.
Andrew Miller, who relieved starter Josh Tomlin in the fifth, was credited with the win as four Cleveland pitchers combined on a five-hit shutout. Chicago reliever Carl Edwards Jr took the loss.
The Indians' victory jettisoned any chance the Cubs had of clinching the World Series title at home with only the next two games left to be played in Chicago.
Game Four of Major League Baseball's championship series is set for Saturday with Indians ace Corey Kluber, the Game One winner, scheduled to start against Chicago's John Lackey.

Lovebites 2017
After a hugely successful launch in 2016, our Lovebites campaign has kicked off again to drive visitation to the city centre during the quieter winter months. Lovebites celebrates businesses in our city centre through unearthing hidden treasures. Last year's campaign was very well received by businesses and consumers, and we saw an increase in positive perceptions, as well as spending in the city centre.
In 2017 we wanted to build on the success of Lovebites and evolve it to introduce a human element, the people and places of the city. The campaign launched on 3rd July and runs across Cinema, Digital media, the Link Bus Network, Outdoor billboards and adshels and via the NZ Herald until late September.
Winter 2017 will be our 9th year in market, building on success of Lovebites 2016 which contributed to total Heart of the City spending being up 5.5%. Winter is our most significant investment across the year, delivering a promotional awareness campaign for the city during the tougher trading months of winter. It is one of five key campaigns annually: Winter, Restaurant Month, Fashion, ArtWeek and Christmas.
On average, our digital activity across eDM, social, web and WHERE NEXT™ app reaches over 270k people each week.
Please keep in touch with us and tell us what you're up to, so we can keep our audience informed via our weekly City Guide eDM sent to over 40k subscribers weekly. The WHERE NEXT™ app has over 80k monthly uses and heartofthecity.co.nz website has over 2.2m web sessions annually.

I keep a copy of the remaining games that I need to play on a list in my wallet so I can always remember what I have left when I head down to the basement in preparation for game night. With the list now down to a baker's dozen, the end is in sight. Lately however, I have been looking at trying to find a reason to remove games from the list. Honestly, I would say about half of the games that remain are probably on the list for the wrong reasons (the reasons range from having kept the game since childhood and can't seem to part with it, to it being technically an expansion, but I want to get that game to the table more this year or a miniatures game but I really want to play it this year). For example, about 5 years ago, I got IU-opoly from a friend who was looking to clean out her apartment before she moved and knew that I played games (the other games she gave me have been traded or sold away long ago). I have kept IU-opoly so I could put it into a shadow box and place it on the wall in my proposed game room – the problem is that a shadow box of that size costs about 50 dollars. Honestly I just want to buy a game to play as oppose to making a cool decoration for a game room that isn't complete yet. On the other hand, I feel like I would be cheating the spirit of this mission if I converted it to a decoration this December just so I won't have to play it. These are the dilemmas I face as I come to the end of this journey!
Onto the games:
The first game played from the list this week was Dixit – a Spiel des Jahres winner in 2010. The game is easy to understand and play. Each round, one player is the storyteller who picks one of their six cards and makes a sentence about it telling all the players. Then the other players look at their cards and picks one that best matches the sentence. All cards are shuffled and arrayed on to the table. Then players pick the best card that matches the storyteller's statement. The key for the storyteller is to get some but not all of the players to guess correctly. The other players are looking for the storyteller's card and to trick players to guess their card for the most points in a round. Whoever has the most points once all cards are drawn is the winner. A very simple and fun party game!
The next game I played from the list is Power Grid. I didn't need to play with any robot players since there were four players – all who had played before. This is another one of those games that most people that are reading this have played so I don't think I am going to explain how to play. The game is amazing considering its simplicity – it's always a tense and fantastic game. I will say that it's the only game that I can think of that all players are attempting not to be in the lead until the very end. The game is so unforgiving to the leader that most players are only going to be in first place when they can deal with low and expensive resources and poor power plant choices. The game has a bunch of maps and different power plant card sets that allow for a myriad of play options. If you haven't played this one yet, go and play as soon as possible – it's fantastic!
The final game played is Blood Bowl. This is one of those games that may be more a miniatures game than a board game, but it is on the list since it holds a special place these days (it is how I met my current gaming group). When I think of fantasy football, this is the game I think about and not the accounting and statistics game that most people like to play when the NFL is in season. The rules for this one are online and free last I checked and a lot of companies are out there selling miniatures that you could use for a team. I played a stand-alone match without any experienced players and while it's a decent game in its own right, the game truly shines when you can play in a league and watch your team gain experience and skills (hopefully without getting killed in the process). The only downside to this one is the fact that most matches are about two hours long all told and makes for a hard sell on a week night where you might only get a single game a week complete. I will say that there is a computer version of the game and can be played in the classic mode – exactly like the board game (I was playing with a high elf team before my computer crashed).
Side Note: I am still putting together all the miniatures from Deadzone. I did get a single player variant with (plague) zombies from the Kickstarter that I might be moving towards to complete this one. Of course, that does mean that I have to assemble all the zombies as well as all of the terrain and the miniatures for the factions – there is hope for me yet (see below).
Last thing I will mention – I am in the process of making dungeon tiles using my purchased Castle Molds (see http://www.hirstarts.com). These molds are great for making really cool terrain and awesome looking dungeon tiles. Of course, I haven't been able to rid my casts of the tiny bubbles even after using the wet water method along with a vibrating table explained on their website. Why I have tried to makes these blocks after all my failures over the years is a testament to something – though to what is anyone's guess! On a plus side, I have about 6 minutes per casting that I need to wait so I can scrape the mold flat which allows me 6 minutes to assemble Deadzone miniatures (about 1 or 2 if I'm lucky).
Until next time – Play a Game!

What Are SEO Settings?
SEO is an acronym for Search Engine Optimization.
In the course of building your Landing Page, you will be asked to input the SEO Settings for that page. It's required to fill in the Page Title. The Description and Keywords are optional.
The reason we make it mandatory to fill in the Page Title is because visitors will see that title in the the tab of their browser. So you want the Page Title to reach out and grab a visitors attention. This Page Title can also be use in search engine results to describe to a searcher what your page is about in a few words.
The Description will show up in search results as a brief synopsis of your page. Over the years this has become less relevant as Google will pull your page description from other sources like DMOZ.org or from you page content itself. The same holds true for the Keywords section as this has declined in relevancy when Google made updates to ranking algorithm.

As of 2011, Aventador replaced ten years old Murcielago as Lamborghini's flagship car. 2015 Lamborghini Aventador, 2-door two seater sport car, has been carried over next year. Good thing is such expensive sports cars always get anything new, even if it's a little aesthetically upgrade.
Albeit a lot of the body is made of lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber, 2015 Lamborghini Aventador weighs 3, 700 pounds. As much as its design comes, what is it possible say about Italians and never admire them. Aventador is both beauty and also the beast in one and it is adorned with many sharp and angular edges. Actually, it resembles jet fighters in a roundabout way, particularly with its low, sharp nose and huge air inlets behind doors which open vertically, how else? Rear end offers limited to none rear visibility using its mid engine layout and rear window made of few segments.
Interior, surprisingly offers lots of space and futuristic look which doesn't surprise us. Only the foremost premium materials were used inside it, including Alcantara leather in four colors of which you'll choose somethat you complement base black. Cabin is divided by an enormous center stack which rises under sharp angle from the elbow, up towards the center of the dashboard where LCD display sits. Safety features are minimal aslo include traction and stability control, anti-lock carbon-ceramic disc brakes, and an airbag system. Downsides are in-existence of cargo space and outright awful visibility which is really a problem on several sides, but mostly, as already stated, behind.
Available like a coupe or convertible, just like all serious sports car is, Lambo Aventador offers a 6. 5L V12 engine beneath the hood which provides incredible 700 hp and 507 lb-ft of torque. In the meantime, only 4WD config and 7-speed ISR semi-automatic transmission could be had which isn't visiting change soon. With these, this exotic supercar reaches top speed of 217 mph and sprints from 0-60 in 2. 9 seconds.
Fuel economy ratings are what you'd expect given by a supercar. Coupe will go 11 mpg inside the city and 17 mpg upon the highway, while Cabrio will require you one mile less in both categories. However, if you possess the money to purchase one, you'll not be worried about fuel consumption, which brings us towards the price category. Aventador costs paltry $400, 000. Not much, isn't it?
2015 Lamborghini Aventador is definitely an exotic supercar which sits atop the line from the king of roads, by some. Italian manufacturer yet again brought us a mixture of sheer power and meticulous design which it did numerous times before.

Robotic weapon to give rescue vehicles autonomous suppression fire
An Israeli start up is developing a robotic weapons system designed to supply autonomous suppression fire for search and rescue vehicles in combat zones. Ben Gruber reports.
STORY: This is when a helicopter is most vulnerable. Flying low over a hostile zone attempting to retrieve wounded from the battlefield. Sagiv Aharon, CEO of Israeli start-up Duke Airborne Systems, says rescue helicopters are ill equipped to provide sufficient suppression fire when attempting to search, land and quickly take-off in the midst of a gunbattle. He says most rescue helicopters a equipped with a manual gun operated by a soldier - his solution is to automate the process. (SOUNDBITE) (English) SAGIV AHARON, CEO OF "DUKE AIRBORNE SYSTEMS", SAYING: "There are helicopters like the Apache and other attack helicopters that their aim is an attack but I'm talking about protecting the aircraft. You need to know where the target is and fire back as quickly as possible. And that is this unique solution that we give for search and rescue helicopters." That unique solution, says Aharon, is an autonomous weapon with a panoramic targeting zone. It comprises a state-of-the-art robotic system to maximize its stability and accuracy as well as an array of sensors to accurately pinpoint potential threats. (SOUNDBITE) (English) SAGIV AHARON, CEO OF "DUKE AIRBORNE SYSTEMS", SAYING: "In order to target the system quickly we use sensors that detect fire sources and launches in order to direct the system to that threat as soon as possible. That way we give an immediate response for the pilot." And that response allows the pilot to concentrate on navigating out of a danger zone. Aharon says the system can be adapted to a range of vehicles including boats, ground transports and even drones. Currently the weapon is still in development, but Aharon expects to have a working prototype within a year.
