During the first day of his visit to Jamaica, President Danilo Medina was decorated with the Order of Excellence of the Jamaican Government at The King's House, official residence of the governor. The honor was conferred to Medina by Governor General Peter Allen. President Danilo reciprocated this state recognition by honoring Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew with the Gold Cross of the Order of Duarte, Sánchez and Mella.
While in Kingston, Jamaica, President Medina held a bilateral meeting with Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness, who had visited the Dominican Republic earlier in 2017.
Later at the Hotel Jamaica Pegasus, President Danilo Medina received the visit of opposition leader, Peter Philipps. Also attending were opposition leaders Mark Golding, Julian Robinson and Lisa Hana.
President Danilo Medina had arrived to Jamaica on Monday, 27 November 2017, for the start of his official two-day visit to the island nation. At the Michael Norman Manley International Airport, he was met by Prime Minister Andrew Holnes and his cabinet. Lina Hana represented the political opposition in the welcoming. Also at the welcoming was Dominican ambassador in Jamaica, José Tomás Ares.
On Tuesday, 28 November 2017, President Medina will be in Montego Bay to share the Dominican tourism experience at the 'Global Conference on Jobs and Inclusive Growth for Sustainable Tourism' that began in Montego Bay, St James on 27 November.
President Danilo Medina to speak at Jamaica's global sustainable tourism conference
President Medina is in Montego Bay on Tuesday, 28 November 2017, to share the Dominican tourism experience at the 'Global Conference on Jobs and Inclusive Growth for Sustainable Tourism' that began in Montego Bay, St James.
The conference, led by Jamaica's Ministry of Tourism, runs from November 27 to 29 at the Montego Bay Convention Centre. In addition to President Medina, Prime Minister Allen Chastanet of St. Lucia is attending as a speaker.
Taleb Rifai, secretary general of the World Tourism Organization, the United Nations agency responsible for the promotion of responsible, sustainable and universally accessible tourism, described the Montego Bay conference as a milestone in the process of advancing tourism development . Rifai said that the landmark conference, which has attracted 1,300 participants, will set a new standard for partnerships with industry stakeholders. It will also contribute significantly to the sustainable development goals (SDGs), he added, referencing the level of partners convening in Jamaica - the UNWTO, the World.
The World Tourism Organization, the World Bank Group, and the Government of Jamaica in collaboration with Chemonics International are sponsoring the conference. The event seeks to identify successful models and future initiatives of public-private partnerships (PPPs) that will contribute to sustainable tourism development globally.
The Dominican tourism industry can boast impressive numbers in comparison to the rest of the Caribbean. Tourist arrivals have kept a 6.7% annual average growth rate. The Dominican Republic is the leader in hotel rooms. The country at present has 82,000 hotel rooms with another 15,000 under construction that are expected to open in late 2018. Government tax incentives to hotel construction have motivated investors to add thousands of hotel rooms in the past four years.
Most important, the Dominican government's open skies policies has attracted dozens of new airlines and the country is the leader in flight operations in the Caribbean, with more than 270 daily flights to its eight international airports. The frequency and diversity of flight connections, has attracted even more airlines.
President Medina is traveling with Foreign Minister Miguel Vargas, Administrative Minister of the Presidency José Ramón Peralta; Tourism Minister Francisco Javier García; and Environment Minister Francisco Domínguez Brito, and his support staff.
Also attending and speaking at the event for the Dominican Republic is Frank Rainieri, founder of the Puntacana Group will speak on the "From Board Room Decisions to Destination Development – Industry Leaders Discuss the Key Elements to Successful Investments" and Jake Kheel, vice president, Grupo Puntacana Foundation who will address the audience in the panel Tourism and Sustainability: Threats, Risks and Challenges and will speak on the Keys to Sustainable Tourism".
Speeding up immigration for Christmas
The Migration Agency (DGM) has announced that from 30 November 2017, Dominican citizens, naturalized abroad will not have to have a second inspection in the different airports and ports, as their passports will be unblocked when they go through the immigration checks at departure. This ruling also applies to those foreigners who have legal status in the Dominican Republic, as well as members of the diplomatic corps in the country.
In a press release the DGM said that persons in the above categories should register in the DGM offices located in the International Las Americas airport and the Cibao International airport.
In order to do this, those Dominicans naturalized abroad should present their passport and identity card (cedula). Foreigners living legally in the country should present their identity document showing their immigration status.
This is one of the measures ordered by the Director General of the DGM, Lieutenant General Máximo William Muñoz Delgado, to speed up the Migration services during the Christmas period, a peak travel time.
Mental Health program is working
Following the implementation of a program of integrated treatment for mental illness by the Mental Health Department of the Ministry of Public Health and the First Lady's Office, the number of homeless and street people diagnosed with chronic mental illness has decreased. The Ministry of Public Health reports that this year, 97 people have been rescued from the streets. Those rescued were taken to crisis intervention centers in different hospitals before being reunited with their families. So far 37 people have been returned to their families.
Of those taken off the streets, around 20 are in the Psycho-Social Rehabilitation Center, located at kilometer 28 on the Duarte Highway in Santo Domingo West; 37 were returned to their families, two foreigners were handed over to their respective embassies, five were taken to Hogares Crea and some are still in the crisis intervention units in hospitals.
The information is in a report covering January to November 2017 that was prepared by the Program for the Protection of those with Chronic Mental Illness of the Mental Health Department of the Ministry of Public Health.
Police station set up on Saona Island
The Police has opened a security station in the Mano Juan community on Saona Island. The plan was sponsored by the Ministry of Tourism is to enhance the safety and security for the inhabitants and foreign visitors to the island. Saona Island is the most visited destination by tourists arriving to the La Romana and Punta Cana beach destinations.

ProConsumidor, CMD and Sisalril reject Andeclip diagnostics exclusion order
Spokespeople from ProConsumidor, the Dominican Medical Association (CMD) and the Superintendence of Health and Labor Risks (Sisalril) rejected the decision by the Association of Private Clinics (Andeclip) to only accept diagnostics carried out at their own centers for patients awaiting operations. Andeclip represents 116 private clinics nationwide.
Anina del Castillo of ProConsumidor said that the implementation of the measure would violate Consumer Protection Law 358-05. She said Art. 33 of the law establishes that consumers have the right to choose providers for a variety of products and services, according to the needs and desires of the patient and his or her healthcare provider. Castillo also said the measure violates General Competitiveness Law 42-08 and Social Security Law 87-01.
Concurrently, spokespeople from CMD and Sisalril indicated the measure would be in violation to Social Security Law 87-10 in regards to patient's right to choose. Andeclip based the decision on this enabling better control and improving their finances. Dr. Waldo Ariel Suero, president of CMD said this would affect the cost of healthcare. Suero called for the Sisalril and the National Council of Social Security (CNSS) to intervene to block the implementation of the controversial order. Pedro Luis Castellanos, head of the Sisalril, doubted the unilateral decision would prevail. He said that the decision had not officially been communicated to them. Castellanos said to accept the measure would affect other suppliers and create conflicting situations.
On Monday, 27 November 2017 in the afternoon, Pedro Luis Castellanos of Sisalril, announced that Rafael Mena of Andeclip had told him they would postpone the application of the measure and opens talks sponsored by Sisalril.
Another public hospital medical strike this week
With only 12 days remaining before he hands over the presidency of the Dominican Medical Association (CMD), Dr. Waldo Ariel Suero has called for another two-day strike in the public hospitals across the country. The strike will be the eighth in the last several months and is due to go into effect on Wednesday 29 and Thursday, 30 November 2017.
On 8 December, Suero will hand over the presidency of the CMD to association vice president, Dr. Wilson Roa, but he said that this new strike was approved by the Executive Committee as the authorities refused to discuss their claims with them. The medical association is demanding a salary increase for those doctors who still have not received the 25% increase agreed by the government and which should have been paid last August.
Police and DNCD agents arrested for keeping drug point in San Juan de la Maguana
Two Police officers and three agents of the National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) have been arrested following a raid carried out in the DNCD office in southwestern San Juan de la Maguana. El Dia reported that the names of those arrested in the case are Police lieutenant colonel Andrés Martínez, Police captain José Castillo, and DNCD agents Wilson Sánchez, and Wilkins Peralta and Samuel Escalante. The DNCD stated the men had committed "irregularities in the exercise of their duties".
The press release added that having carried out an investigation, as part of which a security camera was installed in front of the DNCD office in San Juan, it was discovered that the agents were linked to activities which were against the law in violation of the ethical, legal and professional principles. The investigation was carried out by an internal department of the DNCD together with the public prosecution service.
More femicides
The epidemic of femicides continues with the murder of a 26-year old woman in Boca Chica who was stabbed to death by her partner near the beach on Sunday night, 26 November 2017. The victim is Ani Mojica Ramírez; her partner Joan Antonio Rodríguez Contreras fled the scene. The couple had been living together for two years. She worked in a restaurant in Boca Chica and he was a casual laborer. Her body was taken to the Forensic Pathology department in the National District.
On Sunday, giving a year of preventive custody to Martin Bautista Ogando for the murder of his ex- partner Geraldin Sánchez Baldera, Judge Alejandro Vargas said that he should prepare himself to serve at least 30 years in jail.
In the past week, Ana de León was stabbed to death by her partner Luis Gonzalo in Los Brazos in Santo Domingo east, who then killed himself with the same knife.
On Saturday, 25 November, Gabriel Ortiz was found hanged to death near the Colon Lighthouse, after seriously injuring his ex-partner Yuleici María Aquino, aged 21, in El Almirante.
Christmas and the Tour Eiffel
Santo Domingo West mayor Francisco Peña has turned on the lights of the Tour Eiffel iron tower located where Av. 27 de Febrero flows into Av. Luperón of the National District, besides the Rotonda de la Bandera.
The lighting of the Tour Eiffel in Santo Domingo has become a Christmas tradition after the controversy over the high cost of the structure purchased after it had fallen into abandonment at the site of the former Euro Club Discotheque outside the Hotel Hispaniola in Santo Domingo. The structure is by well-nknown craftsman from La Romana, José Ignacio Morales (El Artístico).

Josh Barnett has a new interview with Rich Swann for USA Today's "For The Win" section. Below are a couple of highlights:
"I just hope that I get to perform and get a match. I tell you what, though, I think that will be a great match for the division, when you consider Austin Aries' list of accomplishments and everything he has done in this industry. That will be a banging match. If I do not get a chance to participate at WrestleMania that is one match that I am going to keep an eye on."
Where the Cruiserweight Division is overall:
"It takes time for the WWE Universe to really digest about seven to eight new guys that are coming on the scene and it's hard to get to know everybody. Now the WWE Universe is starting to get to know everyone's personalities and who some of these guys really are, and what their agendas are in the division.
"Things are really starting to heat up with the cruiserweight division and on 205 Live, especially with Neville coming in and shaking things up and really proving his stature as King of the Cruiserweights. With him winning the cruiserweight championship at the Royal Rumble, I feel that was a big driving point for the division.
"The cruiserweights are out showing that we aren't some guys who are 205 pounds or less flying around and not knowing what to do in there. We are showing that we can put on some of the best matches that WWE has to offer."
Swann also discussed his dance moves, how his life has changed over the last nine months, winning the WWE Cruiserweight Championship and more. You can read the full interview by clicking here.

The tragedy of Trayvon Martin's death has mobilized the nation and it has become an international story as well. My heart goes out to the family of this young man. It appears that Trayvon was a good kid who deserved so much better.
Unfortunately, the Florida Sheriff's office might not have conducted a thorough investigation of the shooting and the case has blown up, so much so that the media, possibly our DOJ, and the New Black Panthers are convicting the shooter without a trial or even an adequate investigation.
The Florida DA and the FBI are currently investigating the case. According to some reports, there is one neighborhood witness to the tussle between the shooter, George Zimmerman, and the victim, Trayvon Martin, who said that he saw Trayvon beating Zimmerman. He then saw Zimmerman on top of Trayvon and heard the gunshots though he did not see the gun go off.
Trayvon had been drinking and was on his way home, eating skittles and talking with his girlfriend when he noticed someone following him. The person following Trayvon was George Zimmerman, neighborhood watch volunteer, who had called 911 and was told not to follow. Zimmerman's father said his son did not continue to follow Trayvon. The investigation will hopefully uncover the truth.
There is much more to be learned about the case but the media would rather not wait for the facts.
Holder's DOJ is considering filing a hate charge against George Zimmerman. On one of his 911 calls to police that night, Zimmerman muttered something under his breath that some listeners say sounds like a racial slur. Zimmerman's father is white, and his mother is Hispanic.
Zimmerman is receiving death threats and a bounty of $10,000 has been placed on his head by the New Black Panthers. Since Zimmerman is not missing or charged, what is the bounty for exactly?
The answer can be found in the NBP's leader's own words –
Members of the New Black Panther Party are offering a $10,000 reward for the "capture" of George Zimmerman, the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who shot Trayvon Martin.
New Black Panther leader Mikhail Muhammad announced the reward during a protest in Sanford Saturday. And when asked whether he was inciting violence, Muhammad replied defiantly: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." [Standard-Examiner]
That sounds like a death threat to me. Could someone explain to me why Mr. Muhammad and his compatriots are not being arrested for putting a bounty on the head of someone who is not wanted? Calling Eric Holder!
This terrible tragedy of a young man's death has now become a crazed racial incident without evidence that racial bias is the case or that the shooter is guilty of murder. We can all have our suspicions but we are being fed by the media and the mob is out-of-control. We are supposed to be a nation of laws that follows the rule of law.
The shooter's father, Robert Zimmerman, 64, said in a letter to the Orlando Sentinel that his son was Hispanic and grew up in a multiracial family.
He defended his son's actions on the day that he got out of his car and shot the teen, despite being strongly discouraged by a 911 dispatcher.
"At no time did George follow or confront Mr. Martin. When the true details of the event became public, and I hope that will be soon," the letter said, "everyone should be outraged by the treatment of George Zimmerman in the media."
He said his family is "deeply sorry for the loss of Trayvon."…
When did the nation become so lawless and irrational?
This is an all-around horrible tragedy.

NYCC: Marvel Television Has Big Plans
Jeph Loeb, head of Marvel Television and writer of "Avengers: X-Sanction", presented the full slate of Marvel Television's current and upcoming projects Saturday afternoon at New York Comic Con. Before his presentation began, Loeb gave a shout out to "Amazing Spider-Man" writer Dan Slott and editor Steve Wacker, who were sitting in the audience, crediting them with the recent surge in "Amazing Spider-Man" sales.
"If you see rumors online, if you hear about things, if you don't see my name attached to it, you just gotta assume that those rumors are things we are not ready to talk about," said Loeb as he moved on to the topic of the afternoon. "Anything we do today, you'll know is for reals."
He reiterated by saying what they do at Marvel Television and Marvel Studios is special and all their projects are worth the years' long wait between shows and movies. He knocked Marvel comic projects other studios have pushed out quicker, specifically naming "Daredevil" as a movie that did not do the property justice.
Loeb first talked about "A.K.A. Jessica Jones," which will air on ABC. The show is based on Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos' "Alias" series about a former super-heroine who becomes a private investigator. "Obviously we can't call the show 'Alias.' Thanks J.J. [Abrams!]"
"A.K.A." will feature two other major Marvel characters — Carol Danvers and Luke Cage — better known as Ms. Marvel and Power Man, respectively. Loeb didn't comment whether Luke Cage's role in this show will affect the chances of him getting a solo feature film.
Up next was the previously announced "Hulk" TV show. Loeb hinted right off the bat that the writer/producer would be Guillermo del Toro, stopping short at naming him directly, instead offering, "You don't have to look very hard because he's online every day talking about it. He's done things with big huge monsters and does them very well, but I can't comment on that either way in terms of what's going on."
The show will feature the same Hulk fans saw recently in "The Avengers" trailer, but will most likely have the graphics scaled down to fit a TV budget.
Loeb next announced that the upcoming live-action "Cloak & Dagger" series on ABC Family would be set in post-Katrina New Orleans. This differs from the comic books, which are largely set in New York City.
The other upcoming ABC Family live-action show is "Mockingbird," the long time Avenger and wife of Hawkeye. For the TV show, she will be a freshman at a northern California college who is contacted by S.H.I.E.L.D. to become an operative. "By day [she] will be a student, and by night, [she] will be somebody that's learning the world of a secret agent."
The concept behind the show was trying to mix "Felicity" and "Alias" together, both of which were created by J.J. Abrams.
Next, the conversation turned to Marvel Television's animated projects. Marvel Knights Animation, the division that creates Marvel's motion comics, will now take on the second half of Joss Whedon's "Astonishing X-Men" run. The complete set of the current motion comics will be released in a 5-DVD box-set on November 22, including "Iron Man: Extremis," "Thor/Loki: Blood Brothers," "Black Panther," "Astonishing X-Men" and "Spider-Woman."
A sizzle reel of the upcoming Disney XD show "Ultimate Spider-Man" was shown to the crowd, highlighting storytelling techniques new to the Spider-Man universe including Peter Parker breaking the fourth wall and talking to the audience, using cut-away gags and even having visual jokes like turning Spider-Man in to a toaster in mid-battle when a villain tells him "he's toast."
The "Ultimate Spider-Man" pilot is written by Paul Dini, with future episodes scripted by fellow comic book writers Joe Kelly, Joe Casey and Brian Michael Bendis, among others.
Clark Gregg will reprise his movie role as Agent Coulson in the show, Chi McBride will voice Nick Fury and JK Simmons makes a triumphant return as the voice of J. Jonah Jameson, a role he made famous in Sony's "Spider-Man" films. The announcement of Simmons' name, in particular, drew an immense cheer from the crowd.
Loeb announced that Stan Lee would have a recurring role as Stan the Janitor, an announcement that also drew massive cheers from the packed room.
Clark Gregg, who plays Agent Coulson in "Iron Man," "Thor" and every other Marvel Studios movie including "The Avengers," emerged from behind the stage while Loeb was talking. The crowd rose and gave Gregg a standing ovation.
"As a New Yorker and a comic book lover, I could pretty much die after that, so thank you!" exclaimed Gregg at the love the audience was showing him.
Gregg revealed he was originally only meant to have a cameo appearance in the end of "Iron Man," but before he knew it, the character grew to have multiple appearances across the breadth of the Marvel movie universe. Fans and the studio reacted so well to him that before he knew it, he was one of the lynchpins of the Marvel movies.
"I was doing a scene in 'Iron Man 2' and they said, 'You're going to go to New Mexico.' I said, 'What's in New Mexico?' and they said, 'Oh, you're in 'Thor,' did nobody tell you that?'" recalled Gregg.
Gregg's role in "The Avengers" also came as a surprise. He wasn't going to be in it until Joss Whedon himself cornered Gregg immediately before the legendary "The Avengers" panel at Comic-Con International in San Diego. Whedon pitched him his role on the spot and Gregg leapt at the chance.
Speaking on "Ultimate Spider-Man," Gregg said, "Perhaps the funnest call I've got, as a geek, was to come down and say, 'Someone's gotta play Agent Coulson, so it damn well better be me!'"
Gregg indulged the audience with a brief Q&A when technical difficulties forced Loeb to halt his presentation for a few minutes.
"Does anyone have any questions? I'm sorry I can't answer any of them!" joked Gregg, referring to the media black-out on most details of "The Avengers."
"Someone's making these awesome 'Be Calm, Call Coulson' t-shirts, which is great because nobody who knows me thinks of me as calm. Luckily it's in the scripts!" He did hint that he might be forced to lose his cool due to events in "The Avengers."
Asked if he had the role of "geek icon" in mind from the time he first accepted his role as Agent Coulson, Gregg responded, "I loved me some sci-fi and I loved me some Jim Starlin comics — I dreamed of it. It seemed like two different things, my kind of high-brow pretentious desire to be ultimate high-brow thespian man and my great love of super-heroes, comic books and sci-fi. It's only through my beautiful love affair with Marvel that I've been able to make that a menage."
At this point, the audio for the projector was fixed and Loeb played a second teaser trailer for "Ultimate Spider-Man."
Moving on, Loeb said that "Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H." will air in early 2013 and star Hulk, Red Hulk, She-Hulk, Skaar and Abomination as a team that fights earth-shattering Kirby-esque threats.
"They'll be taking on the biggest threats in the Marvel universe, bigger than you can possible imagine," said Loeb.
Loeb said "The Super Hero Squad Show" will return with new episodes and is going to continue playing daily, calling the show a "huge success" for Marvel.
A slide for "The Avengers" cartoon was shown with Loeb giving series writer Chris Yost credit for making the show such a success. In the second big surprise of the panel, Loeb then played the season two premiere of the cartoon to close out the panel.

- Ecological adventure with boutique hotel comfort in the Belizean forest
- We love...
- taking an early morning run from the hotel to Big Rock Waterfall followed by a relaxing afternoon with mojito in hand while admiring Rio Privassion, 5 Sisters Waterfall and the pine forest.
This is green tourism at its show-stopping finest.
Recipient of Green Globe Certification, this is a remote, five-star jungle camp big on eco sensitivity and designer comfort. Gaïa Riverlodge is located deep in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve of Belize looking out to the alarmingly beautiful forest and down to Five Sisters Waterfall and its private beach. Gaïa's thatched cabanas merge into the breathtaking scenery, which is yours to explore first hand, home to more than 450 species of plant life, an incalculable variety of birdlife, butterflies and fascinating wildlife.
This is a place for some serious adventure and time for reflection. Activities range from tours of Mayan ruins, bird-watching, biking, hiking, zip-lining, cave tubing and repelling to yoga workshops and time-out in the spa. Essentially, the lodge is all about serenity. The gentle sound of cascading water consumes the air from Gaïa's 16 cabanas (built from local hardwoods and thatch) where luxuries such as Frette linens and polished mahogany keep matters very sophisticated.
Then there's the food! Organically grown vegetables from Gaïa's very own garden and seafood fished from the nearby Caribbean Sea create a tasty choice of vegan, vegetarian, Mayan, Belizean and international dishes best served on Gaïa's wraparound veranda facing the ever-changing, eye-popping views of the waterfall from sunrise to sunset.

Here's my tip written for student travellers on today's Guardian.co.uk. Ecuador is considered one of the best places to learn Spanish in Latin America because of the clear accent and low prices.

From the USA:
What are the pro's and con's of insulin pumps for children with diabetes? Some people on this site say they're great for kids, others say they're not, and others say their pediatric endocrinologists have never even mentioned using an insulin pump.
I would refer you to previous questions answered about pumps, as well as the other information available at this website. I would also talk to a diabetes educator or physician who is knowledgeable and experienced in the use of the insulin pump in children to see if your child would be a candidate. Minimed and Disetronic (the pump manufacturers) have information available as well.
[Editor's comment: There are several parents of kids with pumps who frequent the Parents Chat Room. JSH]

Ladies and gentlemen, today you're going to find out is your brain as good as you really think? Well, let's find out. Sounds great, right? Well yes, and it's very simple – just take a look at the article below and find out more about this.
Yes, according to this brain study, if you can read this, you have a strong mind. Apparently my brain needs to hit the gym a little more and do some bench presses. Just take a look at the message below and see what muscle strength your brain has.
And, to be honest with you, it's really funny how the brain is the only part of the body that we want to get bigger. I have no shame in admitting there were a couple of lines I had to reread to figure this one out.
Well, maybe more than a couple. The numbers threw me off! I will be hitting the "brain gym" later today. Enjoy!

Woman Receives Death Threats for Confronting Misogynist Game Designer
A host of death threats were made against Toronto-based feminist and avid Twitterer Steph Guthrie for her coverage of the "Beat Up Anita Sarkeesian" flash game and its creator, Ben "Bendilin" Spurr, a story which I covered a few days ago on Gameranx.
My story received numerous "troll" responses, but the public's reception of the article was nowhere as vitriolic, or as personal as the attacks made towards Guthrie.
Steph Guthrie's coverage of Ben Spurr over the social media story-curation service Storify prompted the story to go more or less viral, with word of its happenings reaching—and being subsequently broadcast—by the likes of The IT Crowd creator Graham Linehan (@Glinner), among many popular users on Twitter. Linehan even went so far as to confront Ben Spurr on Twitter, drawing the attention of thousands of other users to do the same.
Ben Spurr's Twitter account was suspended yesterday, for reasons undisclosed by Twitter staff. One can only assume that the amount of complaints made towards his account prompted the service to take action. None of these complaints were endorsed by Guthrie, who has now become the target of Spurr's supporters, one of whom going by the name of @Super_Cool_Guy made a series of death threats towards her over a dozen tweets.
@amirightfolks The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, bitch.
— Super Cool Name (@Super_Cool_Guy) July 9, 2012
@amirightfolks If knew your little "clever" comments was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.
— Super Cool Name (@Super_Cool_Guy) July 9, 2012
@amirightfolks But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot.
— Super Cool Name (@Super_Cool_Guy) July 9, 2012
Aside from death threats, a small number of Ben Spurr's supporters have come out of the woodworks to hurl abuse at Steph Guthrie, perhaps perceiving her as an easy target despite the fact that she is just one among many other writers, journalists, and feminist activists to speak up about the issue—Gameranx included. Others, like Ben Spurr supporter "EggNogFan" have made attempts to dismiss the threats as merely "jokes" despite the clear threats posed in the tweets quoted above.
@deluxvivens @unatronic @amirightfolks That's not a death-threat, you ill-informed ignoramus. Have you seriously never seen that before?
— Justus MTBW/ Haxagon (@EggNoggFan) July 9, 2012
Needless to say, Guthrie isn't taking the threat of violence sitting down and has since reported the incident to the Toronto Police.
@TorontoPolice Thank you for the swift response. Screencaps obtained. @crobins72ca @Super_Cool_Guy
— Steph Guthrie (@amirightfolks) July 9, 2012
This ugly, yet sadly not uncommon incident highlights the urgent need for the videogame enthusiast community to ask some serious questions about where it is, where it's going, and how it plans to handle misogyny from within. There's no reason anyone—gamers or otherwise—should have to put up with threats of violence, much less accept these incidences as par for the course.

With each generation of new DSLR released comes a whole new level of technology designed to make our photography experience that much better. But does all this new technology actually help us become better photographers? Now, I am by no means a luddite. I appreciate and use much of the technology of my Nikon D300 and I am very much looking forward to upgrading my camera body later this year to a new D800 or the rumoured D600. But while I enjoy the convenience that new technology brings to the game, I am unconvinced that any of it will make me a better photographer. Allow me to explain….
There are a number of fundamental photographic constants that every photographer needs to know if he/she wants to become proficient at the art. Fundamentals like the relationship between ISO/Shutter speed/Aperture as they relate to proper exposure must become second nature. While all DSLR cameras now offer automatic exposure modes such as Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority, and many of them offer ISO compensation when shutter speed drops too low or apertures become too large, the real question to ask is "do I want my camera to do my thinking for me?".
I learned to photograph with a manual SLR film camera in the late 1970's. That's right, MANUAL! I could not afford the fancy Nikon, Pentax or Olympia cameras available at the time that had Aperture Priority mode. I could only afford an inexpensive Fujicon camera that had only Manual exposure capability. At the time that I bought it the camera sales person helping me make my decision asked me what I thought was a strange question: "Do you know how to drive a standard transmission automobile?". As I had learned to drive using a stick, I answered yes and he told me that I would do fine using a Manual exposure only camera. He was right. Using manual exposure meant that I had to learn to first think about doing three things at once, just like learning to drive with a stick shift (clutch, accelerator,
break brake and driving safety). Once I became proficient at the relationship between the various pedals, driving a manual transmission car became a lot of fun (it still is today).
Using a camera in manual mode is, in fact, a lot less complicated than learning to drive a standard transmission, but it still requires an awkward learning experience where a bit of fumbling with the camera settings will take place and a few poor photos will be taken. Once learned, however, there is no feeling at all like the total control of your exposure that Manual gives you. You may never even go back to Aperture priority again (well, maybe not, but it is a possibility!)
Using Manual only exposure taught me about the relationship between Aperture, Shutter speed and the film speed (ISO today) I had loaded in the camera. If I wanted nice bokeh, I needed to balance shutter speed with the desired aperture. If I wanted to capture fast moving events I had to ensure I had a fast film and a high shutter speed. Now, all of this seems elementary to you, I am sure, but try to do it without the camera helping. I needed to set the shutter speed and then adjust the aperture until the light metre showed a balanced exposure. I had to learn to compensate for exposure extremes like photographing somebody surrounded by snow or in the darkness…all without any feedback from the camera view screen, histograms etc. available today.
Don't get me wrong. I think the technology in today's modern DSLRs is amazing and I would never go back to a Manual film camera again. I do feel, however, that the technology has in many cases removed people from the basics of photography. In fact, most people today rely so much on the camera doing their thinking for them that when a poor photo is taken, they blame the camera.
Let's not forget that some of the most iconic photographs ever taken were made by photographers using the technological equivalent of stone knives and bearskins compared to what is available today.
If you want to become a better photographer, give yourself a week using your DSLR in manual mode only. Give yourself permission to adjust the shutter speed, aperture and ISO settings as required in order to get a proper exposure. Hell, go ahead and use the view finder and histogram to check your work as you learn: There is no point in not using the technology to help us learn. The only thing I ask you to remain faithful to for one week is to not move your dial from the Manual setting. Learn to use the light meter. Learn to compensate for exposure issues without the exposure compensation button.
By doing this you will learn not only about the fundamental relationship in the exposure triad (shutter speed/aperture/ISO), you will also learn how exposure compensation can work: Try exposing an image using the reading of the exposure meter. Then, try to under expose the image by one or two stops. Try to over expose the image by one or two stops. How many ways or combinations of ways can you get those different exposures? Experimenting like this will teach you more about photography fundamentals than any online course or blog article. You will probably have fun doing it too.
So there is the challenge: Take a week and experiment with the Manual setting on your camera. Post some of your best photographs on Facebook, twitter or Flickr and send us a link. Tell us your stories about your experience in the comments here. The worst thing that can happen is that you learn a bit about photography that you didn't know before. The best thing that can happen is that you will become a better photographer.
(clutch, accelerator, break and driving safety) – should be brake.
Great article. I took out my old Yashica fully manual and find that I enjoy it even more now that I have the modern toys.
It forces you to slow down and think, both for camera settings, and the cost of developing the film afterwards.
Spot on article. I was fortunate enough to begin photography before the advent of cameras with all the bells and whistles. I still rely heavily on the manual settings, but am thankful for the new cameras. I still challenge myself in using the old Kodak sunny 16 rule to see if my eye is still accurate or not.
I am new to your newsletter and webpage/website. And, I have to say I am intrigued! I have been slowly learning about manual settings, how to achieve different shots etc. I unfortunately was not lucky enough to begin with a manual camera then onto an automatic. So, for me, the learning curve has been somewhat challenging. I am definitely going to do what you have suggested and put my dial on manual for one week, maybe more. I'm sure I will finally have a better understanding and hopefully acquire a bit more experience and confidence! Thanks
Well, it's been more than a week, but… Just a catch up on things…..I've been practicing and practicing…. My Dad is such an inspiration and great teacher! He has taken so much of his time to 'draw me the picture' in order to comprehend aperture, shutter speed, ISO etc. He's a professional photographer & has been since he was a teen, some 55 years plus ago. :o) I've always wanted to be a photographer, but have always been stuck in 'Auto' mode and concentrated more on posing, background snafu's etc.. And now, I'm happy to say that I am finally getting it thanks to my Dad. Which of course made it much easier for me to take your suggestion and switch the camera to 'Manual'! What a great suggestion! It has created many challenges in a fun way. In some situations I've been able to accomplish many more shots than ever before by experimenting and experiencing. I'm having a lot of fun with the new lenses I've purchased including the the Nikon 50mmG F-1.8 lens. I really love learning the art of light.
Thank you for sharing your experience and advice! :o) Merry Christmas to you and yours!

<<< << -- 3 -- Malcolm Miller PRIMAL ENERGY
Composed only four years earlier, Kodály's Dances of Galanta is of an entirely different cast, a celebratory tone poem formed of regional dances infused with the flavour of Magyar, Gypsy and Slovak traditions. What made this thrilling was the VPO's solo woodwind, the eloquent clarinet theme of the first dance, the equally ravishing flute and oboe solos for the ensuing dances, and the centrally positioned cellos. Barenboim's analytical direction helped to clarify the impressionistic textures, as well as the frequent spicy augmented harmonies and sumptuous Debussyesque whole tone chords. Yet it is his sense of the surprise which distinguished this account, as when, after an unexpected pause, the woodwind share the final theme and the final dance plunges headlong to its fizzing finish.
Gyorgi Ligeti's Atmospheres (1961) was riveting from start to finish, an exquisite tapestry of continuous, rarefied sonorities. Familiar as the sound track to Kubrick's 2001: a space odyssey, the beautiful whispered texture, though innovative for its time, seemed curiously orderly, circling around the orchestra from strings via woodwind to brass, where raspy sounds form a climactic midpoint after which the strings resume. Its novel soundscape of hinted, implied gesture, the delicately nuanced weave of the micropolyphony, at the edge of sound, with effects such as the brass blowing silently through their instruments, still, nearly fifty years after its composition, invites a new ways of hearing and the audience displayed the utmost concentration during its aptly atmospheric unfolding. Neatly sandwiched between two orchestral fireworks, the excellent performance formed a worthy tribute to one of the most influential post-war modernists one year after his death in 2006.
Though it is one of his most popular works, George Enescu's Romanian Rhapsody No 1 (1901), a riotous display piece, is still not often performed, and it was apt to feature it as it was a favourite of Henry Wood. Barenboim and the VPO propelled it with dazzling dance impetus and excitingly graded dynamics that added thrilling drama, especially in the remarkable cadenza like passages which imitated gypsy music, solo rhapsodizing over static dominant seventh harmonies. Barenboim bounced and swung to the music on the podium, and elicited from the VPO every ounce of energy and colour. By contrast, in two rather more genteel encores by Johann Strauss, he moved with the courtly elegance of Viennese nobility, and by this stage the audience was too delighted to care about blips, such as the false violin entry where conductor and orchestra were caught off guard. With such echt-Viennese flair and lilt (which other string section plays such stylish, if brazen, portamenti at each appearance of the theme?), would it be too presumptuous to hope that Barenboim will soon be invited to conduct the VPO's annual New Year concert in Vienna?

Microsoft this week threw its support behind AT&T's proposed $39 billion purchase of T-Mobile, stating that the benefits of the two companies merging would outweigh the negatives. And the software giant isn't alone: Facebook, Research In Motion (RIM), Oracle, Yahoo!, and several other high-profile tech companies have also officially voiced their support.
"Many policy-related efforts will not be able to quickly address near-term capacity needs," a letter from Microsoft and other companies to the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reads. "The FCC must seriously weigh the benefits of this merger and approve it."
Not everyone is happy about the proposed purchase. Sprint, which is currently the number-three wireless carrier in the United States and the company that would be most left out in the cold should it go through, has been very vocal in its opposition. And some high-profile tech companies that would be impacted by the deal, such as Apple and Google, have thus far remained quiet.
At issue here is the makeup of the US wireless market and fears that a smaller number of big players would harm innovation and competition. Today, Verizon and AT&T are the two largest wireless carriers by far, followed by Sprint and T-Mobile. But if AT&T were to purchase T-Mobile, it would become the largest carrier in the United States, and customers would have only three major services from which to choose.
Supporters of the deal say that critics conveniently forget to mention that there are dozens of smaller wireless carriers in the United States, however, most of which compete specifically on price. These smaller players will ensure that consumers always have low-cost options and choice, they say.
Both the DOJ and FCC will need to approve the deal before it can proceed. But don't expect a decision anytime soon: The approval process can take up to a year.

There are sure strides you can take keeping in mind the end goal to make your property less rodent inviting and keep a rodent issue.
Here is a step by step instructions from one of the experts at Animal Removal Oakville by which you can keep rats far from your home.
- Do a month to month visual home assessment of the outside of your home. You don't need to be a home examiner to play out a visual investigation like this. Rats regularly enter from some place around the walls of the home. Watch out for zones around channels they may have been bitten away.
- Listen up for commotions that you hear in the home. You will regularly listen to the rats in the dividers or roofs before you will see them inside the living space.
- Look for droppings close deplete openings, toward the edges of rooms, under sinks, or under racks in the cellar.
- Make sure to keep all pet foods in fixed plastic holders. Rats can focus in on a food source from exceptionally far away. It is particularly imperative to keep the foods fixed in compartments for the reason that numerous enhancements are made with genuine confection or scented wax.
- Keep bushes conveniently trimmed and no less than 2 feet far from home. This gives cover to rats and other untamed animals to move around the property undetected.
- Ensure that the trees encompassing the house are not within 10 feet of the rooftop. Not exclusively can the trees themselves make harm the home, yet they are regularly thruways for rooftop rats going on and off the rooftop.
- Keep all winged creature and deer feeders no less than 20 feet far from the home; this will draw in rats among numerous other irritation wild creatures.
- Make sure to put your pet's food away when they are finished. We get a ton of grumblings about rats coming up through channels and eating pet foods during the evening. Rats will be pulled in to the possess an aroma similar to the pet food inside and outside the home.
- Keeping a clean and mess free home will keep rats away. The mess is a rodent's closest companion. Cleaning the home all the time is an absolute necessity for keeping pests away. Rats additionally leave fragrance trails that different rats can take after. Cleaning the home routinely will diminish fragrance trails that rats desert.
- Keep heaps of kindling no less than 20 feet far from home. This makes extraordinary territory for rats and different creatures on your property.
Take after these precaution tips to help keep rats far from your home. Tragically, even with the greater part of the above, rats can, in any case, be exceptionally tenacious and may interfere with your home or storage room space if they are searching for a place to live.
If you speculate you have rats in your storage room, dividers, cellar, slither space, on your rooftop, or in your soffit call the specialists at Animal Removal Mississauga, for successfully accommodating rodent evacuation, avoidance, and control.

Help debugging with STOP 0x000000CA (PNP_DETECTED_FATAL_ERROR)
Hmmm. Strange crash while monkeying around with this digital voice recorder as of recent. Probably a random crash out of the blue somewhere.
In either case, the debugging files are attached. Can't get perfmon /report to run since I've booted in Safe Mode for the moment. And I don't know why the tool jcgriff2 didn't capture the full MEMORY.DMP file.
|My System Specs
|12 Jul 2012
The jcgriff2 tool does not collect the MEMORY.DMP file because it would be too large to upload to forums.
Device Concerns:
Software Concerns:
It is difficult to find patterns with one .dmp file. You have made it difficult for us by using CCleaner to clean your disk; CCleaner deletes the .dmps when it runs, so please refrain from using it for the duration of your troubleshooting. Your one .dmp and the BugCheck codes found in your Event Viewer logs are pointing to a hard disk or Windows issue. I wonder if your Acronis/backup software is involved since it is pre-Windows 7; please update it or remove it. I also wonder whether the registry cleaning being done has damaged Windows and the software installed on it... There is a chance crashes are virus/malware related or memory related.
|My System Specs
|12 Jul 2012
Every other time I ran Seatools it treated my disk as a SCSI disk and not SATA and would not open the SMART statistics, so I ran that from Speedfan instead.
CCleaner isn't wiping memory dumps, as far as settings go at this point. This is due in part because I've been using the simple WhoCrashed tool to analyse what kind of crash took place.
And meanwhile I finally got together a perfmon report.
With Spybot - Search & Destroy and SpywareBlaster gone, who's going to keep my browser blacklist and hosts file updated?
Some of the software you listed will be uninstalled.
|My System Specs
|13 Jul 2012
An invalid command line option was specified. (0x89000008)
|My System Specs
|13 Jul 2012
The -w flag compacts the files to the center of the hard disk. It makes the system run faster by allowing faster access to your files, program data, etc.
Does WhoCrashed delete the files when it finishes analyzing them? Is there an option to stop it from doing so if it does?
WhoCrashed and other 3rd party blue screen analysis tools that do not use WinDbg to gather information often give very vague analyses of .dmps. In my experience, the most you can usually gather from such programs is that Windows is not working as it should... Not the most helpful information to those trying to find out why Windows is not working as it should.
|My System Specs
|14 Jul 2012
System File Checker did not find any integrity violations.
Software uninstalled:

SMART attribute for Western Digital My Passport External Hard Drive - WDC WD5000BMVW-11AMCS0 (firmware 1016)
Disk Defragmenter has been run today.
Some traces of Spybot - Search & Destroy weren't removed by the installer. These need to be removed by hand. You need to tell me where to look so I can delete from these locations.
Device Concerns:
|My System Specs
|14 Jul 2012
Please provide the warnings that occurred when removing the spybot software.
Did you remove in Safe Mode? If so, did you use these steps: Uninstall and Remove Software in Safe Mode.
I do not use Spybot Search & Destroy, so I would be guessing as to where the remnants reside. You would be much better off asking the developers of the software. They would know exactly how to remove it manually:
The home of Spybot-S&D!: How to uninstallI also wonder if the problems with removing programs and device issues are being caused due to a damaged registry from using the registry cleaner...
|My System Specs
|14 Jul 2012
Found it, remaining program data on Spybot - Search & Destroy has been obliterated. (Location checked: C:\ProgramData)
Disk Health
Scans were scheduled to run at restart on the system and swapfile partitions.
All other partitions or disks will be scanned, provided it doesn't bog down my system first when I'm trying to do something else!!
ChkDsk eated my memory
Every other disk scanned and checked out fine, but My Passport (G: ) did not complete its scan. The system was already low on resources and already messing up applications such as Windows Live Mail (couldn't connect to Gmail) and Chrome ("application/page has become unresponsive" warning messages). I suppose I should run a check in the WinRE later.
For some reason, Windows skipped through and said "the volume was clean" whenever it scanned the system and swap partitions, so I had to go back and issue commands to reschedule both of them for scans before any work was to be done.
|My System Specs
|15 Jul 2012
Do you want for me to uninstall the WhoCrashed tool?
|My System Specs
|15 Jul 2012
I do not think the WhoCrashed tool is really beneficial. 3rd party tools that do blue screen analysis usually provide very vague information that tells us the system is not working right but rarely actually tells us why the system is not working right.
It is up to you whether you want to continue to use it. I would prefer that you run it only after you have uploaded any new .dmps though since there seems to be question at the moment as to whether or not it deleted your .dmps...
And yes, you should probably run the disk checks through the recovery environment if you are having performance issues running them while in Windows.

Paul Banks has been having plenti of fun masquerading around under the name Julian, releasing a debut LP at just around the same time (again) as that other smart-dressing NYC contemporary with the same first name. For his part InterPaul's been prolific of late — a stop at Fallon's, a video with Emily Haines, some free MP3s — and plans to tour his Skyscraper around the world this November with a band that includes members of French Kicks and the Giraffes. In anticipation, the Interpol singer anchored the antics of the It Came From Brooklyn series' latest installment, this past Friday night in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum's Frank Lloyd Wright Rotunda. Banks brought strings, horns, and interesting covers (America's "Horse With No Name," Pixies' "Into The White"), taking the stage after funny things from Eugene Mirman, readings by Rivka Galchen and Hampton Fancher, and an opening musical set by I'm In You.
Ryan Muir delivers these beautiful shots. Look at them, watch some fan-captured footage, and check the Plenti tourdates.

PISA scoresPeter Rea
The latest results in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) don't paint a pretty picture for American education, at least as it compares to the progress made by most other countries. Americans aren't necessarily performing worse, it's that other countries improved at a faster rate than U.S students. Andreas Schleicher, who manages PISA, indicated that the highest performing PISA schools all have "ownership" cultures — a high degree of professional autonomy for teachers in the classrooms, where teachers get to participate in shaping standards and curriculum and have ample time for continuous professional development. So teaching is not treated as an industry where teachers just spew out and implement the ideas of others, but rather is "a profession where teachers have ownership of their practice and standards, and hold each other accountable."
That seems like the opposite of what we're seeing here, where the focus has long been on the creation of standards for which so many teachers are expected to adhere, ultimately giving them less autonomy and forcing them to gear everything towards meeting the standards. We think Schleicher's on to something….

Officials in Will County are investigating whether a rabid bat found in a Naperville backyard may have come in contact with people.
In a news release, the county's health department says investigators are particularly concerned because the bat was seen hanging from the underside of a trampoline earlier this month.
That, they say, increases the likelihood that someone came in contact with it.
The bat was taken to the Illinois Department of Public Health, where tests confirmed that it had rabies. Officials say it's the fourth bat discovered in Will County since May 1 to have tested positive for rabies.

When a big storm hits Oklahoma, you hunker down inside, relying on your home to protect you and your family. Once that storm passes, though, it's time to repay the favor — identify the damage and protect your home from further issues.
The National Storm Damage Center has a number of resources and tips for homeowners.
Just a friendly reminder that our office will be closed Monday, September 5th! Enjoy your Labor Day Weekend.
When generating a personalized home insurance quote for all Oklahoma residents, we take into account several standard aspects of your home and deductibles to find a starting price point. However, we also look at a few other factors when determining your home insurance premium.
What your house is made of can increase or lower your premiums. Concrete and brick houses tend to fare better against environmental elements and are less susceptible to house fires. Therefore home insurance premiums on them tend to be lower than their wood structure counterparts.
Insurance companies actually use "Insurance Scores" rather than "Credit Scores" when rating for for your home and auto insurance. Each company has their own proprietary formula for calculating an Insurance Score; however, based upon our experience, we find that Credit Scores (such as those through TransUnion) are usually similar to Insurance Scores.
What your house is made of can increase or lower your premiums. Concrete and brick houses tend to fare better against environmental elements and are less susceptible to house fires. Therefore home insurance premiums on them tend to be lower than their wood structure counterparts.
Newer homes that have been built with the current safety codes and better building materials may mean lower insurance premiums than their older counterparts that were built with outdated security measures and older structural materials.
Many homeowners don't realize the effect of their town's fire station on their home insurance premiums. If your home is close to a fire hydrant, near an adequate fire station, and has a higher quality emergency response team you may be eligible for lower premiums.
It is important to understand how your house can affect your homeowners insurance premiums. If you have any questions or wish to speak with one of our agents, please contact us today to review your policy.
Colleges in Oklahoma are expensive enough without the added cost of unexpected accidents or theft, not covered by your insurance policy. If you have a student heading away to school in Oklahoma, below are a few tips to help you get the most out of your coverage!
HOMEOWNERS (Oklahoma)

You are constantly bombarded with ads for big, well-known insurance companies. Chances are that you're familiar with Progressive's Flo and Geico's gecko. So it makes sense that you might gravitate toward one of these companies.
However, working with an Independent Insurance Agent has many benefits that you should be aware of before deciding where to take your business.
Instead of calling one insurance company and getting a quote one at a time for their products, independent agents work with a network of trusted insurance providers. They input your information and receive quotes from many insurance providers, saving you numerous phone calls.
Rather than seeking out several quotes for yourself, an independent agent will assess your needs and then do the work for you. With just one phone call, you'll have a person working in your best interests to find you the best policy for the right price.
Aside from just renewing your policy for another year, ask your independent agent to check to see if there are any better deals that suit your needs. Agents have saved customers lots of money by doing this.
With big companies, you have to navigate an automated answering system when you call. But with independent agents, you get a real person. Plus, these agencies serve a smaller area than large companies, so they can spend more time with each customer in order to address your questions and concerns.
Independent agencies are local, which means that they're familiar with neighborhood needs. They know if your town is located in a flood plain and the likelihood of theft in your area. This makes independent agents valuable resources when it comes to coverage needs and discounts.
"We welcome you to find the value in your Edmond Locally Owned business and would love the opportunity to become your Independent Insurance Agency today. Please contact us if you have any questions with your current/future insurance needs."
