Britain too wet to bury dead as ministers try to pull plug on rip-off flood hotline
HEARTBROKEN families are being forced to wait for their loved ones to be buried with gravediggers finding it "impossible" to dig up areas of flood-hit ground.
Cemeteries across the country have been submerged in the flooding crisis putting bereaved families through extra distress.
Graveyard officials are saying the scenes are "absolutely abnormal".
Tim Morris, chief executive of the Institute of Cemetery and Crematory Management, said "there is very little the burial authorities can do".
He said: "It's actually all around the major flooded areas.
"You can imagine it's impossible to excavate a grave for a funeral where parts of the cemetery are under two feet of water."
He added that he hopes families understand "it's the weather that's causing it, not people".
He said: "As soon as you start to dig, the graves fill with water, and of course that's not only difficult for funerals, it's also quite dangerous for the gravediggers.
"It's just absolutely abnormal."
"The Government must sit down with insurers and agree a new industry standard"Ed Miliband
With the water levels still rising across Britain, reservoirs have begun to drain millions of gallons of water creating picturesque whirlpools.
At the Ladybower Reservoir in the Peak District, environment officials have pulled the plug with the water rising so high that it could wash away the banks.
Dave Ashton, a reservoir expert at the Peak District, said: "Ladybower Reservoir is built with two large sinkholes underneath, which act like the drains in a bath.
"Without these, the water could break away the banks and flood the area surrounding it."
The draining, which looks like a water-based UFO, then sends water back into the River Derwent.
As the weather continues to bombard already flood-hit areas, today insurance chiefs are attending a flooding summit.
Ministers and bosses have joined together at the Downing Street meeting to assess the way insurance claims from flood victims are being death with.
It comes as consumer company Which? raised concerns about customers being forced to call costly telephone numbers to make claims.
Which? executive director Richard Lloyd said: "We're pleased the Prime Minister has this issue high on his agenda and the insurance companies must to do everything they can to make things easier for flood victims who shouldn't have to pay a premium to make a claim, especially when many will be calling from a mobile.
"The Government must also make sure other public bodies play fair and drop high-rate numbers as soon as possible so that people are not left out of pocket when calling essential services."
Labour leader Ed Miliband has called for less costly and quicker payments.
He said insurance companies need to agree on a 'new standard' that speeds up the process.
He said: "Of course it takes time to repair homes damaged by flooding, but 12 months to complete an insurance claim is far too long.
"The Government must sit down with insurers and agree a new industry standard that significantly reduces the time that people have to wait to have their houses restored and move back home."

New Zealand Post issued two stamps featuring silver fern, the emblem adopted by the New Zealand Rugby Football Union. With an unrivalled winning percentage since the first test against Australia in 1903, the All Blacks will carry the hopes and expectations of more than four million New Zealanders onto the field.
Despite decades of change in how the game of rugby is played, the current All Blacks have one key thing in common with the generations of All Blacks before them: they all wear the silver fern.
This distinctive emblem was adopted by the New Zealand Rugby Football Union in 1893. Originally a graphic representation of the native ponga fern (Cyathea dealbata), it has been modified through the years to become the trademarked symbol we see today. Representing both a nation and a state of mind, it's always placed on the left breast of the perennially black jersey, reflecting its place at the heart and tradition of rugby.
Title: All Blacks

Happy Birthday to meeee.....
Yes I am blogging my own birthday! Who else would?! Right?
Really, I am excited to finally have my golden birthday! I am 29 today! I only have another year to enjoy the rest of my twenties & then onto my flourishing thirties. Whats not to look forward to?
There is something about a woman once they reach their thirties, they seem more grounded in who they are and seem to blossom in outward beauty as well as inner beauty.
I thought it would be fun to tell a little bit about me... Just a few things you may or may not know about Marsha.......
1. I have to use 2 or 3 seat covers when using a public restroom, if they don't have any, I squat!
2. My worst habit is picking at zits/blackheads on my face. I think of it as a home facial. Come on, its not as bad as those scratch and sniffers out there.( you know who you are!)
3.I regret to mention these two things but, when I was 18 and soo grown up I got a tattoo of a hibiscus flower on my right 1st metatarsal. It's still there! I also thought getting my belly button pierced would be fun; so I choose to do that opposed to getting my tongue pierced while I was with a group of guy friends. I still have the holes to prove it! What was I thinking?!
4. I love extreme sports! My passions are still snowboarding and longboarding as it is on hold for full time riding until I teach my children and they are old enough to ride together.
5. My biggest traffic pet peeves are: Drivers on the freeway who slam their breaks on over and over again with plenty of room ahead of them... take your foot off the gas and coast with traffic. I also get irked when you have a blinker on to move to the next lane and the car next to you speeds up instead of letting you in and then you loose opportunity to move over because the cars behind him speed up too. No worries I don't get road rage! okay maybe once in awhile. lol
6.My testimony of the gospel has always been strong! Even when I have maybe not made the best choices at times in my life there has never been a doubt in my mind of the love my Heavenly Father has for me and of the great atonement of our loving Savior. My love for the gospel has grown tremendously as I served the people in New Zealand to the adventure of becoming a wife and mother. I know his plan and understand my divine place in it. I know the temple is a sacred place where it has been made possible that families can be together forever!More than anything I love my husband and adore our little girl and am excited for our life and eternal adventures. The book of Mormon is another testament of our Savior Jesus Christ and witness of our Heavenly fathers love for all of us! I love the Young Women I work with! It never ceases to amaze me the strength and understanding they have to live the gospel so valiantly today. I loved working with the youth from EFY to my home ward! It is rewarding!
7. I love to keep my cupboards and refrigerator full of food! In any circumstance i like to have the ingredient or food I need to make a meal or bake a goody at the last min. Or better yet if someone needs anything I would be the neighbor to call for the rescue. I don't like making several stops to the grocery store more than once a week. My shopping trips are intense and prepared by a long list that gets me through the whole week. One thing I don't love is making the meal plans. I don't mind the cooking, but thinking what to eat is not fun to me. I prefer baking over cooking any day!
8. I love running and working out! It is a rush for me! I feel strong and powerful after a good long run or taking an intense class. Of course it doesn't feel good as I'm sweating and struggling to finish a workout, but it is the after effect that keeps me desiring the next workout. I know I have accomplished a short term goal and did my best at it. It's personal and rewarding. It is the time I can meditate & relieve any stress!
9.Mmmm... I love chocolate! Not just any chocolate, the good chocolate! Homemade chocolates are the best. See's Candies curbs my sweet tooth. The retail chocolates are limited, Doves and Symphony bars. Cadbury has some mean chocolate, mainly New Zealand Cadbury yummy yum!
10. I can be sooo Indeceive when it comes to eating out! I could care less where I eat I will always find something I like no matter where we go! This is something Robbie & I butt heads on. He asks me where I want to go eat, I say "anywhere". He asks me to pick a place and I have the hardest time deciding. I would prefer to have the other person decide on a place and I go along with it!! I think of myself as just being laid back and easy going. I will enjoy myself no matter what!!
11. Two years ago I had foot surgery( by the best podiatrist) for a bunion. It sounds painful , but that was not the painful part! When I was on my mission I somehow got toenail fungus on my right foot. Most athletes get this, it is caused by athletes foot. I had 5 toenails removed & the beds of my nails cleaned in hopes that the fungus would not grow back. Oh my! That was painful!It was the most painful part of the whole thing! It takes several weeks for your nails to grow back.. lets just say they were very sensitive. Unfortunately the removal of the nails did not cure my problem. I will always have funky toenails on my right foot. A great souvenir from the mission!
12. One last bonus since we are talking about feet.. I love shoes! Any and every kind of shoe! I think they can make or break an outfit. Accessories with an outfit also tells a story; the rings, bracelets, earrings, shoes, nail polish, scarfs the list can go on! Dare to tell a story!!!!I love accessorizing!<---( not a word, but I often make my own words up anyway!)

Lebanon opposition calls mass protests
Nasrallah calls for massive turnout Friday to support opposition's demands for national unity cabinet.
The Lebanese opposition called for mass demonstrations Friday in support of its demands for government of national unity but the pro-Western cabinet swiftly rejected the move.
"The opposition forces, on the basis of their constitutional rights, call on all Lebanese, whatever their religious confession, to demonstrate peacefully in an open-ended sit-in from 3 pm (1300 GMT) Friday for a national unity government," said an opposition statement.
"The opposition forces appeal to demonstrators to brandish only the Lebanese flag and authorised slogans," the statement added. (more…)

Chris James –
Buying a car is a major purchase for most people and it's easy to get carried away with the sleek lines, alloy wheels and other superficial aspects of the vehicles in the show room. However any good engineer will tell us that it's what's under the hood that ensures performance, safety and a great driving experience. It's not just the engine, but the suspension, clutch, gears—in fact the entire underlying infrastructure. These components might not be as exciting as the soft top, but they are essential and a car can't function without them. It's the same for IT: while networking and migrations might not be considered as exciting as applications, they nevertheless are fundamental for strong performance, and managing them well can make all the difference to the business.
We're finding that, around the world, enterprises handling business-critical applications are beginning to grasp how important it is to look under the hood and to have clear visibility and control over the entire data centre IT infrastructure. In the last decade much change has happened with virtualisation and the look and feel of end user IT. As a result, IT managers are now looking under the hood to identify areas for potential optimisation in terms of performance and reliability—such as storage, archiving and disaster recovery to name just a few.
The necessity of looking at the whole IT infrastructure is due to a combination of new pressures brought about by growing volumes of unstructured data and ever evolving, complex IT environments that are continuously impacted by virtualisation, cloud computing, BYOD (bring your own device) , rich media and video streaming. The traditional ways of coping with an increase in the need for performance is no longer acceptable, and costly over-provisioning is no longer an option to address performance spikes or degradation. Managers want to stop wasting budget and resources and demand to know what's happening across the entire data centre, and take advantage of all the benefits of Infrastructure Performance Management (IPM).
The tools for understanding what's under the IT systems hood are already available from most vendors—but only to a limited extent. The problem is that these vendor-specific tools are biased; only giving visibility into that particular vendor's products. This limits the level of monitoring and trouble shooting, and does not enable an accurate, unbiased, system-wide view across the infrastructure as a whole.
Our VirtualWisdom platform can be easily installed on the back of Traffic Access Points or TAPs; it is compatible with all vendor hardware and has won several awards for its non-disruptive, real-time monitoring and analysis capabilities. Most data centres have built-in redundancy to cope with spikes in demand for capacity. By using VirtualWisdom, IT managers can see precisely where latency and performance degradation occurs, and they can proactively identify and address any traffic issues before they become major issues. With VirtualWisdom this granular and comprehensive insight into the IT infrastructure is achieved without impacting application performance or end user experience—and it doesn't add any 'load' on to the system the way polling does. Once implemented VirtualWisdom reads the Fibre Channel protocol in real time, end-to-end regardless of vendor equipment.
By having in-depth levels of insight datacentre managers can truly plan, and manage their IT environments, and ensure they remain perpetually agile. It's just like when mechanics plug cars into computerised diagnostics machines to assess issues; not only are faults detected but so are emergent weaknesses and indicators of future problems. In a similar manner, with VirtualWisdom, IT infrastructure managers can see how applications are performing, spot any existing and upcoming bottlenecks, review the level of utilisation of each component and understand whether these can be optimised to reduce cost. Once armed with this information it is possible to eliminate downtime and latency, set application-aligned SLAs, and set in motion new initiatives such as tiering to ensure that each component (server, switch, fabric, storage) is perpetually optimised—and therefore running as cost effectively as possible.
So next time you are going to buy a car don't forget to look at what's underneath the hood and when you're planning IT upgrades or migrations of critical applications, look at what IPM can do for you so that you know what's really happening in your data centre and across your IT infrastructure.

NEH Challenge Grants
National Endowment for the Humanities
Limited Submission Program (LSP): This funding opportunity and the Limited Submission Program (LSP) is open to all Texas A&M University faculty and principal investigators who meet the eligibility requirements. Texas A&M and The Texas A&M University System agencies jointly administer this process to select the proposal(s) that will be submitted to the sponsor in response to this solicitation.
Institutional Eligibility: Applications are welcome from colleges and universities, museums, public libraries, research institutions, historical societies and historic sites, scholarly associations, state humanities councils, and other nonprofit humanities entities. Programs that involve collaboration among multiple institutions are eligible as well, but one institution must serve as the lead agent and formal applicant of record.
The proposal will be prepared and submitted by Sponsored Research Services (SRS).
Proposal Limit: 1
Summary: NEH challenge grants are capacity-building grants, intended to help institutions and organizations secure long-term improvements in and support for their humanities programs and resources. Through these awards, many organizations and institutions have been able to increase their humanities capacity and secure the permanent support of an endowment. Grants may be used to establish or enhance endowments or spend-down funds that generate expendable earnings to support and enhance ongoing program activities. Challenge grants may also provide capital directly supporting the procurement of long-lasting objects, such as acquisitions for archives and collections, the purchase of equipment, and the construction or renovation of facilities needed for humanities activities. Funds spent directly must be shown to bring long-term benefits to the institution and to the humanities more broadly. Grantee institutions may also expend up to 10 percent of total grant funds (federal funds plus matching funds) to defray costs of fundraising to meet the NEH challenge. Because of the matching requirement, these NEH grants also strengthen the humanities by encouraging nonfederal sources of support.
Successful applicants will be offered a matching grant. Recipients must raise three times the amount of federal funds offered, except for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribal Colleges and Universities, and two-year colleges. These three types of institutions are required to raise only two times the amount of federal funds offered.
Program staff recommends that prospective applicants submit a draft proposal four to six weeks before the application deadline. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this preliminary review, which can significantly strengthen their proposals. Although applicants are not required to submit draft proposals, staff review of a draft can substantially improve a proposal: staff members can draw on their extensive experience to identify technical problems with a planned challenge grant and to offer advice for improving a narrative.
March 4, 2014: Deadline for an email of intent including the title of the internal proposal and a one to three sentence description of the project.
Send email of intent to email@example.com
March 6, 2014: Deadline to submit an internal proposal.
All proposals for the LSP must be submitted electronically using the e-proposal on-line application system.
Be prepared to upload your internal proposal. The sections will include a one-three page research plan summary, two-page bio-sketch, and preliminary budget.

Musicians » Tom Schuman
Tom Schuman was born on January 31, 1958, in Buffalo, NY. His father, Wally, was a jazz bassist and his mother, Marion, was a jazz singer when they met. Greatly influenced by this family of musicians, Tom began playing piano by ear at age six. His parents were reluctant to give him lessons because of their own struggles with the music business. When they heard him playing jazz chords, improvising and writing tunes at age seven, they felt compelled to provide him with all of the musical support a child could possibly have.
He started studying classical piano in 1965. For five years he practiced every day after school but soon grew an aversion to classical piano because of its lack of freedom. He always preferred to jam on the classical chord structures instead of playing what was written. One of his teachers, Sandi Holland, was impressed with his natural talent and arranged for him to play and be interviewed on a local radio program. He played Chopin's Prelude in E-minor (as written). Then he played a jazz standard with his dad on bass and friend, Charlie Fadale, on drums. He picked How Insensitive because of its melodic similarities to the Chopin Prelude. He was eleven at the time. This experience gave him enough motivation to continue his musical education.Read more

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - After spending 10 days in cramped conditions out on the Pacific Ocean, a famous doctor continued to make waves when he arrived back on land.
Dr. Jim Sears, a pediatrician on NBC's "The Doctors," crossed the finish line and completed his first Transpac race on Monday, but that wasn't the most exciting part.
"As we crossed the finish line we unrolled a banner that said 'Marry me Gina' and Gina was sitting there at the club watching and she was totally surprised. I had the ring right there, ready for her, now I'm engaged," said Sears, after proposing to his girlfriend of three-and-a-half years.
Before popping the question, Sears had quite the adventure out at sea.
A few days into the 2,225 nautical mile race, the doctor suffered a slight ankle injury that had him limping around for a little bit.
Gina Liotta, Sears' girlfriend, was just expecting him to return home, but was blown away at the surprise he had in store.
"I was like 'Oh my gosh!'," said Liotta. "I was so happy to see him already, so when I saw that, it was like 'Wow!' It was so romantic."
Sears, a lifelong sailor, plans to compete in the race again in 2013.
"I think it's good that they only do this race every two years because it gives enough time to kind of forget all the suffering and the pain," Sears said. "The first couple of days of this race is cold. It's cold and windy and wet and kind of miserable, but the second half of this race is why we do it."
As for his future wedding, Sears says maybe he and Gina will get married here during the next race.

Rather than the usual doom and disruption that is the hallmark of this feature, I thought I would try highlight some of the upsides of the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Besides many jobs being relegated to machines because they are dull, dirty or dangerous, here is at least one career path that will need bright and enthusiastic human intervention. Mobile Application Development, or simply app developer.
This is the quintessential career that did not exist when this year's matrics started school, and the SA LinkedIn jobs portal lists over 2500 available positions right now.
Mobile app developers are a subset of programmers that have existed since we first made a machine go beep. However, this field focuses on the specific applications that will run on mobile devices using one of the dominant operating platforms namely Google's Android or Apple's iOS.
Apple have trademarked the phrase "There's an app for that".
There are more that just these two, so keep an eye on what Amazon are up to. Besides the platform your career would also require you to have training in one of the popular programming languages like Java or Objective C. You would also need to get to know the SDK's (software development kits) offered by the platforms to make the most of the mobile phone functions and graphic capabilities and a good understanding of APIs (Application Programming Interface) - not that anyone uses the full name.
Online courses should allow anyone with even a basic understanding of computers and code to get up and running in no time.
But just because it is easy to get started does not guarantee you will be a superstar.
Like any career, simply knowing how to do something is only good enough to get your foot in the door - to thrive you need to have an aptitude and willingness to work it.
When the app platforms began with the launch of the smartphone about a decade ago, writing apps was hard and few people knew how to use them. Since then, the app environment has exploded with both iOS and Android having over 1.5 millions apps available for download and both boasting in excess of 50 billion downloads to the approximate 3 billion smartphone users worldwide.
The Apple environment which gives 70% of revenues to developers has surpassed the $70 billion mark in the last 10 years. That may not sound impressive. But, consider that revenues would have been very low for the first few years. This figure also excludes revenue for Android. Considering we're at only 50% penetration of the global population - there is still quite a bit of room to grow.

TÜV SÜD survey: consumer knowledge of hay milk
'Hay milk' is a special dairy product that has been conquering chiller cabinets in many areas including Germany. However, few consumers know what's really behind the name. TÜV SÜD's current survey shows that consumers asked about hay milk associate the name either with no particular quality criteria, or sometimes with incorrect criteria. TÜV SÜD informs about this product category.
Food retailers in southern Germany and Austria have included hay milk in their product ranges for some time. However, farmers in Germany can only dream of awareness levels of around 80 % for the product, such as those in Austria. While the higher prices of hay milk products clearly indicate that it is a high-end food product, German buyers are not informed clearly about the differences in quality compared to conventional milk.
According to the TÜV SÜD survey, over 70 % of consumers surveyed continue to buy conventional full-fat or skimmed milk. Dairy substitutes based on rice, oats or soy are only relevant for around 5 % of consumers. In Germany, only about 2 % of consumers buy hay milk. One-quarter of consumers surveyed indicated that they do not know about the special features offered by hay milk. 9 % of respondents chose the option "No comment".
23 % of the consumers interviewed know that the cows' feed must come from traditional grass farming. 5 % stated that hay milk must be produced without the use of silage. Around 10 % of consumers associate the name of "hay milk" with Austrian origin, and 18 % with ecologically controlled production.
It's all in the feed
The difference between conventional cows' milk and traditional hay milk lies in how the animals are fed. In conventional milk production, the cows are also fed fermented fodder (e.g. corn silage), moist or wet hay, whereas fermented fodder is not used at all in grass-based dairy farming. By-products from distilleries, breweries or fruit pressing are prohibited in the production of hay milk. In spring and summer, cows are out on pasture grazing on herbs, grasses and leguminous plants. During the winter period they are exclusively fed on hay. On top of that, the animals may be fed bran or pellets with high mineral contents, e.g. from sugar production, or protein feeds from cereal processing. Concentrated feed is allowed, but carefully regulated. In Germany and Austria, there are official organisations that take care of feeding and husbandry guidelines and monitoring in hay-milk dairy farming.
The green feeding of the animals means that hay-milk production also affects the landscape, which plays a role for some consumers in their purchase decision.
The name 'Hay milk'
Production of hay milk is a very traditional kind of dairy production. However, the name 'hay milk' was not protected until 2016. Since March 2016 – with a transition period until March 2018 – hay milk products that comply with the regulations of the official hay milk bodies have been able to gain the EU-wide "Traditional specialities guaranteed" label (abbreviated as "TSG").
Consumer information
To ensure consumer expectations are fulfilled, TÜV SÜD informs about the key facts of hay milk:
- Hay milk is not necessarily organic milk- Organic milk must fulfil many further criteria.
- Hay feeding affects the taste and composition of milk. For example, hay milk includes twice as many omega-3 fatty acids as standard milk.
- The TSG symbol stands for the traditional mode of production of hay milk, not the origin, and
- The TSG symbol is easy to confuse with the label for Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). Consumers should take a close look at the labels given on the packaging.

Kermit Dell, a Palm Beach County vegetable farmer for more than three decades, said Monday he will challenge Democratic incumbent Dorothy Wilken for the District 4 County Commission seat.
"I know it's going to be very difficult, but we have a lot to offer," said Dell, who retires this month from his Delray Beach-area farm.
Dell, 65, has served on the county Planning Commission and is board chairman of the Lake Worth Drainage District. He's been a member of the county's Farm Bureau since its founding 35 years ago.
"I've had a lot of friends from the agricultural industry pushing me, and I've worked in this county almost all my life," he said.
Wilken is seeking her second four-year term. Boynton Beach Vice Mayor Bob Ferrell, Bob Wheeler, and former County Commissioner Norman Gregory are the Republicans in the District 4 race.

Hi jockeys! Here is a mail organizer I came up with to house our incoming mail, outgoing mail, and coupons, and to hang our keys from. I made it out of poplar, stained to an antique Walnut finish, and some curly red oak. It's pretty basic and straightforward, but I always have the most fun making projects on the fly, no plans, and no idea what it will look like when I make the first cut. Thanks for looking!

Day 53
Michelangelo is noted for saying "Ancora Imparo" which means Still I am learning. What a great reminder, that mistakes are simply a point on the learning curve! Every attempt gives a chance for continued improvement, that you are always ancora imparo! Mastering the experiences of continued learning… "now that's amore"!! Lol One of the best things that came out of my childhood revisited narcissist business was, and is the opportunity to claim and examine my own vulnerabilities. It has given me hope that if I do the work, I may have an opportunity for a better future. So what I am trying to say is that for each of us left in the fetal position, sucking our thumbs and rocking in the post narcissist dark…this a new day! The supports and insights of today give real insight to both the narcissist and the codependent. I wonder if had these resources been available to me as a young girls, what direction my life might have gone! Luckily, for all of us, it is not too late as we are all still able to embrace the ideal of "still I am learning…"
Day 53 Your assignment
Imagine you had no real clue or insights into narcissism. Imagine no support in a place where others were too embarrassed to share their stories. Think about all the people who went on for years believing they were miserable failures and it was ALL their fault when it wasn't! It is important for me, and I invite each of you to learn as much as you can to protect yourself!! Search the web, read multiple posts, in order to get a new insight from different perspectives, because this is our time to learn, not burn!!

|Availability of Full Text:
This project uses advanced modelling techniques to produce a design for a computer based advisory system for the operator of a critical, complex, non-linear system, typified by a nuclear reactor. When such systems are in fault the operator has to promptly assess the problem and commence remedial action. Additional accurate and rapid information to assist in this task would clearly be of benefit. The proposed advisory system consists of two main elements. The plant state is determined and then the future condition predicted. These two components are linked by a common data flow. The diagnosed condition is also used as input for the predictive section. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are used to perform both diagnosis and predictions. An ANN, a simplified model of the brain, can be trained to classify a set of known inputs. It can then classify unknown inputs The predictive element is first investigated. The number of conditions that can be predicted by a single ANN is identified as a key factor. Two distinct solutions are considered. The first uses the important features of the fault to determine an empirical relationship for combining transients. The second uses ANNs to model a range of system transients. A simple model is developed and refined to represent an important section of a nuclear reactor. The results show good predicted values for a extensive range of fault scenarios. The second approachis selected for implementation in the advisory system. The diagnostic element is explored using a set of key transients. A series of ANNs for diagnosing these conditions are developed using a range of strategies. The optimum combination was selected for implementation in the advisory system. The key plant variables which contributed most to the ANN inputs were identified. An implementation of the advisory system is described. The system should be a single suite of programs with the predictive and diagnostic sections supported by a controller module for organising information. The project concludes that the construction of such a system is possible with the latest technologies.

"Are we going to be OK here?"
That's a line the characters of a horror show don't often ask themselves, but Jane (Rachael Taylor) says it to Henry (Dave Annable) just after moving into The Drake in the series premiere of ABC's 666 Park Avenue.
Exclusive: Enrique Murciano and Wendy Moniz move into ABC's 666 Park AvenueGavin (Terry O'Quinn) and Olivia Doran (Vanessa Williams), the owners of the chic Upper East Side apartment building, hire the innocent Midwestern couple to be the building's resident managers. Unbeknownst to them, the residents have all made deals with the devil to have their desires fulfilled. (And some desires, like in the clip below, are too hot for TV!)Check out an exclusive first look at the new series, which premieres Sunday, Sept. 30 at 10/9c on ABC.

If you are one of those workers who wish you had four hands to manage several tasks in less time, don't give up yet! By using voice apps you can create and send emails, make calls or even solve math problems. In the meantime, you can keep working on your computer and multitasking without taking your fingers off the keyboard. All you need is your phone and a well-organized work plan. Keep reading to find out which voice app better fulfills your needs.
- Siri is definitely one of the best known voice action apps and it is definitely a good tool to speedup your tasks. But the Apple iPhone 4S isn't the only toy around that uses voice activation. Before there was Siri, the App Store had a downloadable Voice Action app for sale, and still does for anyone who doesn't have the 4S or 5. Apple's Voice Action app provides similar features to Siri, but individual commands have to be recorded at first. The user interface on Siri is much more straightforward and more easily edited.
- Meanwhile, Google was also able to create a viable competitor, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, that works pretty much as well as Siri, but for Android phones. Some of its more popular features are the 'Project Butter', which makes Jelly Bean run smoother and Offline Voice Typing to help with voice-to-text tasks even when you don't have Wi-Fi . There are other voice apps options out there if you are not an iPhone owner: Speaktoit Assistant, to get closer to a real voice assistant, or EVA Intern which is activated just by shaking the phone.
Siri or Android?
The main difference between the various services is accuracy, besides, of course, the kind of phone you have. Some users have found Siri to be the most adept at following commands the first time around, but Android was mostly reliable as well. Using a clear input device, such as a Bluetooth microphone, can help with clarity so that the app can figure out what you are saying right away. Consistency is another area where users might get turned on to one or the other. Siri speaks responses every time, whereas Google's Jelly Bean sometimes speaks and sometimes delivers the information in text form.
Some common features of voice action apps are sending and dictating texts and emails, making calls, setting an alarm, launching a website, getting directions, and playing music from your library. You can also get information on things like weather conditions, nearby restaurants, or pretty much any topic on the web. You can even work out math problems simply by dictating the information into the phone.
At the end of the day, all voice action apps can be useful, depending on what you intend to do with it. Although Siri has more abilities than Google's service (for example, making reservations at restaurants), it is worth considering how valuable you think these extras will be to you.
In typical Apple versus Google form, Siri is more streamlined and maybe easier to use for beginners, but Jelly Bean has better learning capabilities. The key is to figure out which one is more matched to your style.
Try them, and let us know which one make your multitasking more productive!

Rev. Bryan Griem, a California-based pastor, may be an unpleasant fellow who doesn't like the idea that people who disagree with him on metaphysical issues have rights, but being an unpleasant fellow is not enough to give you an entry. Griem, however, is also a creationist. Like most creationists he doesn't really understand evolution, but he is nevertheless not afraid to conclude that "Big Science" is in some sort of conspiracy against good religious people like himself. Accordingly, he has called out Bill Nye as "the scary guy, the pagan guy; one worshiping godless misdirection," and concluded that scientists are motivated by money and anti-religious arrogance (yeah, a standard trick for justifying why you won't bother to actually understand something or look at the evidence): They "garner funding, find arti-'facts' and pretend life's knowledge. They're ignorant, as Nye illustrates. I don't like him anymore. Neither do my kids." Indeed, like Voltaire, Nye is a "dork." So that settles that. Griem is also behind a very positive review of "Expelled", but I won't link to that one (search it up yourself if you, for some reason, should want to read it).
Aside from that, Griem is on record lamenting the status of the US as a Christian nation (which he, like so many fundamentalists, claims is what the Founding Fathers intended all along), for instance pointing out that in a truly Christian nation "pregnant women would not murder the offspring they produced from their wanton lifestyles" and "gay pride would be an oxymoron," and that Obama was not elected by a Christian nation – he couldn't have been (ostensibly since people who disagree with Griem on politics couldn't be real Christians). So, yeah: that kind of guy.
Diagnosis: An unpleasant person. Stay well away (but I doubt minimally reasonable and decent people would have much trouble realizing that on their own once Griem opens his mouth).

I'm a nanny because I love each and every one of these children and often times do not even feel as though I am working. I find children uplifting, refreshing, and educating, and love knowing that i am a vital part of their growth and development in a happy healthy manner.
My past childcare experience I have raised two children of my own, who are now grown women. My one daughter has two young children (ages 2 1/2 and 18 weeks), whom I have spent lots of time caring for and who are my light and joy. I am currently working with a family of three boys, (ages ranging from 18 months to 9 1/2) and I have been with this family for almost two years, since the youngest was 4 months old. In between the job with three boys, I have also spent time being a nanny for a couple other families as well. One of families has a young girl who is about 2 years old now, but started with them when she was about 9 months old. The other family consisted of two teenage children, whom i would care for before and after school, and even through the night when parents were away.
Additional comments While working for each one of these families, my jobs have also included being somewhat of a personal assitant to the parents, with running errands and helping with household chores. I speak English and Spanish fluently and have spent time volunteering as a CASA (court appointed special advocate) for foster children. Again, my passion for children and their healthy growth and development periods is rife and what I live for.

Elizabeth Banks was one of the many stars to attend the 2013 Vanity Fair Oscars party, hosted on Sunday evening at the Sunset Tower in Hollywood.
The 'The Hunger Games' actress wore a bold Alexander McQueen gown, Brian Atwood shoes, Dior jewels and an Alexander McQueen clutch.
The vibrant orange gown makes Elizabeth look fun and fresh and she pulls of the low-cut bodice well.
Unfortunately, the star's hair is entirely too otherworldly for my taste. The height of the pouf just looks silly, instead of finishing her look off strong.
What do you think? Is this look a win, or does the hair detract from the gorgeous gown?

I recently ran a quick survey of my fellow Fellows to find out what we were all doing at the age of 17. We generally consider ourselves a pretty ambitious, well-travelled, well-read bunch; these days, at least. Responses I got spanned the following:

'Slowly slowly subbing all the liquor in my parents' cabinet for water'

Seven Network has once again disappointed, delivering a full-year profit result riddled with restructuring costs and promises of better times ahead. Despite a booming advertising market, the group could only muster an 8% rise in net profit. Running a distant third to Channel Nine and Ten, Seven's TV earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) rose 9% to $160m while magazine operations fared little better with an EBIT contribution of $13m, up 7%.

Clarence Jeffries V.C. & William Currey V.C.Print Page
The Jeffries - Currey Memorial Library commemorates Clarence Jeffries & William Currey; recipients of the Victoria Cross (V.C.) who attended the school. The library at the school was opened on the 24th May 1941. On the 1st May 1976, new school buildings were erected and the 3 glass panelled bookcase which originally housed the school library was rededicated
Clarence Smith Jeffries V.C, (26 October 1894 – 12 October 1917) was an Australian recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest decoration for gallantry "in the face of the enemy" that can be awarded to members of the British and Commonwealth armed forces. He was posthumously decorated with the Victoria Cross following his actions in the First Battle of Passchendaele during the First World War, in which he led several parties of men in an attack that eventuated in the capture of six machine guns and sixty-five prisoners, before being killed himself by machine gun fire.
Private Currey was awarded the Victoria Cross for "most conspicuous bravery and daring" on 1 September 1918 at Peronne, France. He rushed a 77mm enemy field gun under heavy machine gun fire and succeeded in capturing the gun single handedly after killing the entire crew. He later rushed another enemy post, causing many casualties and enabling the advance to continue. He then volunteered to carry orders again under heavy gun fire for the withdrawal of an isolated company. He succeeded and returned with valuable information.
He returned to Australia in March 1919 and was discharged on 2 April. He was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 1941 as the Labour Member for Kogarah, and retained his seat until his sudden death on 30 April 1948.
Dudley Parents and Citizens' Association decided at the annual meeting to place a maple bookcase in the school corridor to house the library. Mr. Fraser, of Newcastle, is the designer and builder. The sum at £17 was passed for payment. It will be known as the Curry-Jeffries (sic) Memorial Library to perpetuate the memory of Private W. Curry, (sic) V.C., and Captain C. Jeffries, V.C., who were pupils of the school. They were awarded the V.C. is the Great War. Many donations of books and money have been received.
Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners' Advocate (NSW),
19 March 1941
Unveiling of the library memorial at Dudley Public School has been fixed for 3 o'clock on Saturday. The event is of interest to a wider field than Dudley. It is to perpetuate the memory of those who fell in the last great war, and to honour ex-students who have been decorated. On the honour-roll are the names of 94 boys who served through the war of 1914-1918. At the head of the roll, crowned by carving of the Australian coat-of-arms, are the names of the school's V.C. winners-Captain Clarence Jeffries and Sergeant W. M. Curry (sic). Both were born in Wallsend, and through their families had been connected for years with coalmining. They were among the first to enlist, and were together through the fiercest fighting on the Western battlefields in 1918. Sergeant Curry (sic), who now represents Kogarah constituency in the New South Wales Parliament, has accepted the invitation of Dudley Parents and Citizens' Association to attend the function on Saturday, with the parents of his late friend. The ceremony will be performed by Mr. H. L. Wheeler, a former Mayor of Newcastle. who, with the Headmaster (Mr. T. D. Colgan) and the District Inspector of Schools (Mr. J. P. Austin), was on active service for the full period of the last war. They will be guests, with other representative public men, at the ceremony. The memorial comprises a central school library, designed and erected by Messrs. Wallbank and Fraser. The library, 30ft. in length, adjoins the school. The original classes were held at Dudley.

text: 180 gram audiophile vinyl Gatefold Sleeve The energy that Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Three captured on the legendary Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison (MOVLP274) record can probably never be duplicated. That being said, Hello, I'm Johnny Cash comes very close. This forgotten album is arguably one of the five best albums in the Cash discography. It is fueled by superb original Cash songs and well executed covers. It contains 'See Ruby Fall' (co-written with Roy Orbison) and one of his best '70s hits, 'Blistered.' The lean, minimalist instrumentation of the Tennessee Three ensures the album with great rhythm, leaving Johnny Cash's voice as affective as ever. The album itself reached No. 1 on the country charts and No. 6 on the pop charts.[cargo]

Re: Marijuana Intensifies Pheromones?
https://news.uci.edu/2015/10/26/love...-interactions/ *
In the late 1980s, receptors were found in the brain for THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the primary psychoactive component in marijuana. But since THC doesnt naturally occur in the body, the presence of these receptors puzzled scientists. The mystery was solved a few years later with the discovery of arachidonylethanolamide, later called anandamide.
Anandamide is a natural neurotransmitter produced in the brain that binds to the CB1 Cb2 THC receptors. Its been called the bliss molecule aptly named after ananda, the Sanskrit word for joy, bliss, or happiness. It is considered an endocannabinoid a substance produced in the body that binds to cannabinoid receptors and now seems to be responsible for much of the natural normal positive feelings in social interactions, bonding, touch, sex, exercise, and love.
When you eat dark chocolate, running, use marijuana, or release the hormone oxytocin through sex, touch or staring into the eyes internally, they all stimulate the production of Anandamide, a motivation, pleasure and happy/bliss neurotransmitter in the brain. Oxytocin is known as the love and bonding molecule. Feelings of love ratchet up your oxytocin levels for example, which in turn dial up your bodys anandamide effects giving us that pleasure.
When scientists stimulated oxytocin release, it increased anandamide creation in the brain. When they blocked anandamide, it also blocked the pleasure and pro social effects of oxytocin which means that oxytocin reinforces social bonding/trust and pleasure by anandamide creation. Interrupting anandamide breakdown further enhanced the pleasure of social contact, and animals treated with a drug that stops anandamide breakdown increasing it behaved as though they enjoyed spending time with their cage mates much more then animals treated with placebo.
Anandamide (AEA) increases in the brain during and following exercise and may be mostly responsible for why exercise makes you happy. A recent animal study similarly found that anandamide might be responsible for producing the "runner's high" in mice. *https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26438875 *
https://medium.com/@mary_c_biles/ana...y-895cdafcf7fe *
Those who are 'extra happy' people produce less of the enzyme FAAH (fatty acid amide hydrolase) which is responsible for breaking down a chemical in the body called anandamide
Study Explores Chemical Links Of Cannabis, Exercise, And Sexual Bliss
https://webcache.googleusercontent.c...&ct=clnk&gl=us *
CB2 is tied to sexual pleasure.
Researchers from the Faculty of Medicine of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, discovered that the use of cannabis (also) activates the same receptor as sexual pleasure, CB1 and releases oxytocin and both activate dopamine, responsible for the sensation of pleasure same as intercourse. They studied how various activities provide us with pleasure, and came to the conclusion that the feelings yielded by marijuana and sex are more similar than previously thought. This pleasure is not obtained only by smoking marijuana, but with other types of consumption, such as ingestion or the application of balms. Cannabis is a potent aphrodisiac, increasing body awareness, greater concentration or an increase in climax. Marijuana just also blocks the breakdown (lessening) after the fact increasing the potency of the effect. https://www.dinafem.org/en/blog/cann...-pleasure-sex/
