Let's gaze at the clear cold night sky as we honor The Stars of Winter. We'll look up to find The Winter Triangle. Stars that are part of the Winter Triangle teach us that their forces can aid in the service to those of us who are spiritually attuned.
And we take it a step further as we honor two special "stars" of Winter; the Norse Goddess Skadi, and the Norse God, Ullr.
Now, did you know that Scandinavia may have been named after the Goddess Skadi. Some theorize that Scandinavia could mean "Skadi's island".
And finally, if you ski, then you've probably heard of Ullr. In Norse mythology, Ullr was considered a superb archer and skier, and was the god to invoke when engaging in single combat.
Then we'll talk some science and discover why the night sky of winter is so much brighter than it is in summer. It's not your imagination!
Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!
Some of the music you'll hear on this weeks show include The Moody Blues: "Voices in the Sky"; Shawn Phillips: "Sands of Time"; Hagalaz Runedance: "Das Fest Der Wintersonne"; Loreena McKennitt: "Beneath a Phrygian Sky"; Laura Powers: "Winter of Dreams" and more.
Maybe you've composed a new poem and would like to hear it on the radio. If you want to submit audio to The Spiral Dance, send me an email. There are basically no rules - just no harsh language, no commercial self-promotion and no Christian-bashing. Please let me know what you think about the show. I'm always open to suggestions; email spiraldance1@ excite.com or firstname.lastname@example.com

3 storey model helps artists plan their shows
An art gallery in London asked us to produce 10 sets of these floor plate models to help artists design upcoming shows. Each set consisted of 3 storeys and showed the circulation routes and available floor and wall space on each level so that the artist could plan the positions of paintings or other exhibits in their show. At 1:20 scale the floor plans are very large so we designed a flat-pack solution which allowed the artists to take the three floor layouts as portable kits that could be easily assembled at a later date. We created our own CAD files for all components and then laser cut the floors and walls out of 5mm acrylic. Stairwells, WCs and other facilities were indicated by laser-engraved lines on the floor plates.
Model of Butlins redevelopment plan at 1:200 scale
This 2.3 metre long model was commissioned to showcase the new development proposals at Butlins holiday resort at Minehead, Somerset. The model shows the first phase of the development, a new chalet area, in full colour and detail whilst the phase 2 proposals for a new hotel are shown at a simplified, monochromatic level (the building is just visible as a white massing block in the main photo). The phase 2 area will be updated to a fully detailed level at a later date. An important requirement for the model was that it should illustrate the attractive landscaped setting for the new chalets and the client was very pleased with the final result.
Concept model shipped to Saudi for competition bid
This white styled concept model incorporates clear Perspex blocks to represent the proposed buildings for a major development in Saudi Arabia. The client RTKL, an international firm of architects, needed a company who could complete the model in just two weeks, despite the fact that for the first week they were still finalizing the scheme. We were happy to take the project on, working flexibly with the client as they evolved their design. The model then had to shipped to Saudi to form the focal point of their presentation for this international competition.
House model with lift-off floors
Because of the complex layout of this luxury villa the developer felt he needed a realistically detailed marketing model to allow potential buyers to fully appreciate the intricacies and subtleties of the architecture, especially as it was situated on a steeply sloping site. As well as giving it a realistic external appearance we also had to build the model in removable layers so that the split level internal room layout could be demonstrated as well. You can see this in one of the images. Although there is no internal colour or detail we did includ some simplified furniture and fittings to give the rooms an instant identity and a clear sense of space.
Interactive update of static model
Originally built as a static model in spring this year, GSK asked if we could add an interactive element to help the model convey a more detailed representation of their sustainable energy and waste treatment processes. Our solution was to add a touchscreen information panel linked to area specific illumination on the model. This is the second major project we've completed for the blue chip pharmaceuticals manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline who demand the very highest standards from all their suppliers and sub contactors. The main aim of this model was to demonstrate how the company harnesses biogases from their waste treatment process to fuel a newly installed Combined Heat & Power facility. On the original static model colour coding of the pipes indicated the different stages of the treatment process. The addition of the interactive touch screen and pulsing lights on the model allowed us to create a much more engaging and informative presentation.

Why I'm a Member
Wiesbaden, Germany
In 2007, during her second year of teaching at a U.S. Department of Defense school in Wiesbaden, Germany, Jennifer Loftus discovered a thick envelope in her mail. Inside was an intimidating sheaf of papers—each marked with an official government seal— informing her she owed thousands of dollars to the U.S. government for teacher housing. The letter detailed a handful of repayment options, and indicated she would need to start paying immediately, or her salary would be garnished. The problem? Loftus knew she didn't owe a dime. The fix? Her union! As a member of the Federal Education Association (FEA)—the NEA-affiliated union of teachers and educational support professionals in Department of Defense schools around the world—Loftus was able to tap a deep reserve of resources and support. "The first thing they did was alleviate my fear," says Loftus. "You get this feeling that the government is coming after you, and it's very scary! I'm a law-abiding citizen. I've never lived beyond my means, and here they're telling me I owe a lot of money. I knew I didn't owe them anything, and I tried telling them that…but they weren't listening."
As an individual, Loftus didn't have a loud voice. But as a union of educators, FEA does. Loftus handed her carefully maintained records to FEA's experienced attorneys, and they got on the case. In 2009, they brought Loftus and 14 other FEA members—collectively accused of owing about a quarter-million dollars total to the federal government—to an arbitration hearing in Germany. FEA tore apart the government case. "It was incredible to watch [FEA attorney] Bill Freeman go through our cases with the same meticulous care," says Loftus. "I am definitely proud to be a member."
Soon after, Loftus discovered another official letter in her mail. But this letter read, "Wow! We actually owe you money!" Loftus says. On her own—without the assistance of her union—Loftus says she could never have reached resolution. "I did try, but I don't know the government's formulas or how they work…and I'm just trying to teach second grade and be the best teacher I can. I want my energies focused on the kids and the improvement of the school.
—Mary Ellen Flannery

Deer & Deer Hunting Editor Dan Schmidt with his Minnesota buck. This is the kind of broadhead performance you can expect from a big expandable on chest hits. Shoulder-blade hits can be a bit more tricky. Photo by Chris Hermans.
I received a note last night from a Facebook friend and loyal Deer & Deer Hunting subscriber from Pennsylvania. John had the unfortunate experience of shooting a big buck in the shoulder last week, and he didn't recover it. He was using a large two-blade expandable and only got about 3 inches of penetration. John writes:

International Magnetic Solutions will showcase innovative magnetic technology for mining and industrial applications on Stand H1026 at AIMEX.
The Newcastle company's ABM 25 Miner Magnetic Mesh Locator includes a magnetic roof mesh locator and retainer magnet system designed support the cantilever weight of mesh grating as it sits in place in readiness to be bolted to a mine roof.
"The system is designed to apply a substantial holding to mesh, making installation easier, faster and safer," Victor Cassar, International Magnetic Solutions' managing director said.
The system was commended at the NSW Minerals Council OHS Innovations Awards in 2009 following successful trials at Centennial Coal mines in the Hunter Valley and Mandalong.
Components are encased in mining grade yellow urethane and structurally reinforced with steel.
International Magnetic Solutions will also show its Scale Busta Magnetic Scale Eliminator at AIMEX.
The Eliminator, designed to remove scale from pipes in underground mines, focuses an intense magnetic field through a pipe wall into the water to be treated.
Cassar said this softened and removed concrete-hard scale from pipes with the scale simply washing out with the water.
The Australian-made Scale Busta did not require chemicals, while it also prevented further scale build-up and kept new installations free from scale, Cassar said.
The company will also show a purpose-built diagnostic procedure for determining if magnetic wet drum separators are faulty.
Cassar said that when, for example, a plant was known to be wasting magnetite, the diagnostic tool could help to identify irregularities such as magnets moving within a drum assembly, magnetite ingress or magnet damage.
"The IMS test results will confirm if the condition of the magnet wet drum separators is a contributing factor and that information can be used to decide whether they simply need to be adjusted or if it's necessary to go to the significant expense of pulling them out of service for repairs."

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said that patients with an underlying heart condition, such as heart failure, heart disease or circulatory problems, or patients who have previously suffered heart attacks or strokes, should no longer use diclofenac.
An MHRA spokesman said the advice on the drug has been updated after a European review which found a small increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
Research published in 2011 in the journal Plos Medicine found that patients using diclofenac were found to be 40 per cent more at risk than those who were not using the drug.
During 2010, almost 17 million prescriptions were filled out for NSAIDs, which are used for pain relief and their anti-inflammatory effects in conditions including arthritis, back pain, gout, headache, and the aches and fever associated with flu.
Dr Sarah Branch, deputy director of the MHRA's Vigilance and Risk Management of Medicines Division, said: ''Whilst this is a known risk and warnings have been included in patient and healthcare information for some time, this advice is now being updated.
''For many patients diclofenac will continue to provide safe and effective pain relief but it is no longer suitable for certain at-risk groups.
''Those with underlying heart conditions currently taking diclofenac should speak to their GP or pharmacist at their next routine visit to consider an alternative pain relief treatment.
''Patients with certain cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, raised cholesterol, diabetes and smoking should only use diclofenac after careful consideration with their GP or pharmacist.''

The TPS65283, TPS65283-1 in thermally-enhanced 4-mm × 4-mm VQFN package is a full
4.5- to 18-V Vin, 3.5-A/2.5-A output current synchronous step down DC-DC converter, which is
optimized for small designs through high efficiency and integrating the high-side and low-side
MOSFETs. The device also incorporates one N-channel MOSFET power switches for power distribution
systems. This device provides a total power distribution solution, where precision current limiting
and fast protection response are required.
The 60-mΩ independent power distribution switch limits the output current to a
programmable current limit threshold by using an external resistor. The current limit accuracy can
be achieved as tight as ±10% at typical 1.25 A. The nFAULT output asserts low under overcurrent and
reverse-voltage conditions.
Constant frequency peak current mode control in DC-DC converter simplifies the
compensation and optimizes transient response. Cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection and operating
in hiccup mode limit MOSFET power dissipation during buck output short circuit or over loading
conditions. When die temperature exceeds thermal over loading threshold, the overtemperature
protection shuts down the device.

CCRI volunteers aid community agencies
March 27, 2014
Nearly 250 students, faculty and staff from the Community College of Rhode Island registered to participate in the college's eighth annual Community Service Day on Tuesday, March 25. The volunteers were spread out across eight sites spanning the state from Woonsocket to Westerly, donating hundreds of hours to various projects in celebration of All College Week.
Projects varied from site to site, including landscaping a neglected tract of community garden, facilitating arts and crafts projects at a human service nonprofit, cleaning and restoring local historic armories and more.
As morning broke in Providence, volunteers at the Southside Community Land Trust weren't afraid to get their hands dirty as they dispersed throughout the small, weedy environs of the Dexter Community Garden.
Michelle Walker, who has worked on the staff of the land trust for the past five years as the development assistant, said this was her first time working with volunteers from CCRI. Walker said that the land trust has a small core group of paid employees and depends largely on volunteer efforts from the community to help it succeed in its mission of promoting urban agriculture and local food production in the city. It's a partnership that makes sense for both the land trust and the college, she said, particularly as many of the college's students live in the greater Providence area.
"These students are already invested in the community … and this is a nice way to be invested directly in the community. Because this garden will not only impact people, it impacts a local economy, and it impacts green space, so it's nice to have a group from local college helping out," Walker said.
General Studies student Lenize Madrid, who was working to rake and till the soil on the plot, primarily takes classes in Warwick but lives nearby in Providence, so she said it felt particularly "good to be able to help this community in a way that everyone can see."
Walker explained that the space had served as a community garden for the neighborhood in the past, but that the residents who were gardening had moved away some time ago, leaving the site dormant. The CCRI volunteers were working in teams to pick up trash, weed the lot and loosen the already composted soil on the lot to get it ready for use this spring.
"The transformation is amazing," said Dean of Business, Science and Technology Peter Woodberry, a member of the crew led by Camille Numrich, who works in Student Services at the college. "We're doing good work, and seeing the before and after is really gratifying," Woodberry said.
Numrich added: "I think this work – being out of the classroom – is a very important part of learning and education. This contribution isn't only valuable to the community, but to ourselves, as well."
Just over the line in Cranston, more than 100 student and staff volunteers gathered at the various sites belonging to the Keystone Group, a nonprofit that offers services to individuals with developmental disabilities. In a large, open space at the group's AccessPointRI facility, clients and volunteers milled about at various stations, creating cheerful arts and crafts in various mediums. Abstract wooden forms, cut in the attached garage by a CCRI volunteer, were being painted in neon hues at one table while at another station, a client worked with an employee on a sewing project, for example.
Art and enrichment program director Karen Matteson said that the clients' work eventually would be displayed and sold in an effort to raise funds for the facility, helping to create awareness and a self-sufficient business operation for the organization.
"It's been a wonderful experience," she said. "The thrust of our program is really based on the volunteer experience, integrating people from the community into our program, having it be a collaborative experience. We're looking to get people in here so that they can be aware of what it is that we do for people with disabilities."
The mission of Keystone and its partner organizations was close to home for CCRI student Maryann Swanbeck, who serves as the president of the Knight Campus Human Services Club – two of the main reasons she chose to volunteer for Community Service Day. She said that she was having such a wonderful time that she would encourage the Human Services Club to make Keystone one of its volunteer sites in the future. "I feel like I'm definitely making a difference," she said, "and it's a great learning opportunity."
Swanbeck was one of many students working on the site hailing from the college's Access program. Former student Antonio Lombardi, who served as the college's site coordinator for the Keystone Group this year, now works for the college as part of the Connect to College program. He said Community Service Day represented a unique opportunity that clearly showed the college's commitment to educating students beyond the classroom.
"It really proves that 'community' in CCRI isn't just an internal thing. It's unique that we give the opportunity to our students to expand into the outside community and apply everything they've learned in their CCRI education to their community," he said.
Another group of volunteers gathered at the Varnum Memorial Armory and Varnum House Museum in downtown East Greenwich. The dedicated group had made quick work of the tasks at the Armory, and by early afternoon they were tucking in to lunch while the sun shone in on the freshly cleaned historic space.
Site coordinator Deborah Zielinski, who works as assistant to President Ray Di Pasquale, said that her crew of approximately 40 volunteers—largely made up of students and faculty from the Dental Health department—had been working to clean shell casings from the basement shooting range, moving and sorting boxes of archival materials and other housekeeping tasks for the Armory, which serves as not only a museum but as a public function space as well. "We have so much community support that it's nice for us to turn around and do the same back," she said.
Larry McDonald, who serves as colonel of the marching unit for the Armory Corp., said that the volunteer effort meant a great deal to the 100-year-old historical militia group, whose mission is to promote patriotism and historic interest throughout the state. McDonald said this was the first time he had worked with volunteers from CCRI, and that he couldn't be more impressed.
"This is a bunch of really nice young people," he said. "It has really helped us make a forward step in our plans for improving the armory. One of our goals is to put the armory to use more. The students have helped us by doing simple work which we really don't have the resources to do, and it's nice to see the students interested in the history."
Catelynn DaCosta, who is studying to be a dental assistant, was one of the students providing the muscle to move archival materials up and down the armory's stairs. It was her first Community Service Day with the college, and she said that she wanted to volunteer to do something different and rewarding. "It feels great to give back when you can," she said. "Not a lot of people get the chance to do this."
Another group of students, faculty and staff were gathered farther south in North Kingstown at the USS John F. Kennedy Aircraft Carrier Project. Tucked inconspicuously along Post Road inside a strip of buildings, the project aims to bring a family attraction to the state built around the historic USS John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier. The group hopes to eventually locate the carrier, which was decommissioned after 40 years of service, on the Newport side of the Narragansett Bay. In the meantime, in addition to campaigning for the preservation project, the group maintains an impressive host of commemorative materials, historical objects and informational material through the Rhode Island Aviation Hall of Fame. Volunteers at this site contributed in areas running the gamut from administrative and archival duties to maintenance work on some of the group's signs.
"It's such an honor to be able to work on this," said General Studies major Natividad Caraballo, who said she pursued the opportunity largely because of her interest in joining the National Guard. "As a student of CCRI, having this opportunity makes me feel proud of the college, too."
Caraballo was working alongside fellow student Oscar Martinez to catalog logs from ships as well as to archive important historical objects. Like Caraballo, Martinez said that this community service opportunity was important to him because of the military connection. A veteran of the Navy, Martinez said he relished the opportunity to work alongside other veterans – people who, he said, are all around us, but who we might not notice unless they self-identify.
"It's uplifting because of the great memories that I had of my service, and it's interesting to compare my stories with other people here. I was in the submarine force for 21 years versus the other side of the Navy – the aircraft carriers and ships. It's a great experience," he said.
"I just have to tell you what a great bunch of people you have," added Frank Lennon, president of the USS John F. Kennedy project, who worked with volunteers from CCRI at last year's Community Service Day. "What they're able to do for us in one day is so helpful that it's beyond description. Too often our volunteers get wrapped up in the immediate day-to-day things and, as a result, a lot of background stuff just piles up. This day is a great opportunity for us to catch up on that."
Other service sites this year were NeighborWorks Blackstone Valley in Woonsocket, Norman Bird Sanctuary in Middletown, the Women's Center of Rhode Island in Providence and the Westerly Armory Restoration Inc.

Any given Thursday: Baby stuffs
>> donderdag 15 juli 2010
You know.. I'm so into baby stuffs right now, like nursery decorations, clothes, toys, whatever... I just wonder where that came from??!! Oh right, I'm growing a little baby myself! :) I've always thought baby's were cute, even kids...since that's prob. why I decided to work with them. But now-a-days newborn baby's are EVEN CUTER. Can you imagine, well I can!! Yesterday one of the moms at daycare came to pick her son and she brought her 5 weeks old baby girl with her.. . I think she thought I was nuts, cause as soon as the she started crying, I pick her from her stroller and started cuddling with her... I was like, 'in love for the first time' !! haha But luckily I saw, that the mom was ok with it and saw she was thinking..' it's probably the hormones!' LOL
Today marks 18 weeks and here's what they say about the development about our little Dot...
Your Pregnancy: Week 18
Now that you're in the full throes of the second trimester, you're feeling—and looking—fabulous. So don't waste it! See friends (they've missed you since you moved your bedtime up to 7:00 p.m.), plan romantic dinners with your partner (you will miss those when junior arrives) and get active. Waterskiing might be a little too much but swimming and taking long walks are great for you and your bambino.
Your Baby
Your baby's ears are now facing forward and are completely formed so she can actually hear you talking now. You don't need to abandon your potty mouth just yet, but you might want to start thinking about it! Other highlights this week:
This week is also the beginning of ossification. And while that sounds like some long and involved paperwork you'll have to fill out, it's really a fancy medical term for the hardening of your baby's miniature bones. And that's a good thing.
Your baby's nerves are making more and more complex connections. Her sense of smell, taste, sight and hearing are all developing. A substance called myelin, which makes nerve connections travel faster, is now coating your baby's nerves.
Your baby now weighs between 5 and 7 ounces and is about 5½ inches long—about the size of a pickle from the corner deli. (You're familiar with pickles, right? Your regular accompaniment to a big bowl of ice cream?)
---- NOTICING the fact they're talking about a SHE and 'HER sense'... Does this mean it's going to be a girl??!! hihi. Well according to my, my dad's & my cousins feelings... who actually got it right most of the times, we think it IS A GIRL! But we're not going to find out till August 3rd! Yeaah, my guy finally (or I probably convinced him, we just needed to know! LOL) decided he wants to know the sexe of the baby... But we did decided to keep it between the two of us (Like I can??!! LOL), but yeah that's the deal... I can tell my BFF, cause a girl just has to tell someone, right?
Now onto the baby stuffs...
I've got tons of ideas to decorate the nursery (babyroom), but there's too much to choose from, it's getting hard. But before I'm going to make a final decision on the theme and such, I want to know what the sexe of the baby will be... And of course, we still need to find a new house to make the nursery in. But I'm sure we'll manage and if not, we'll stay here for a while longer! *sigh*
Wall stickers... Are defenitly my favorites when decoratiing the nursery...or really any part of our house. You can find these in any color, any theme, any size and I think they are truly adorable to place on the nursery wall. Some exsamples I truly love (with links)...
These are pretty particular for Boys or Girls, which are so cute, but then these are probably ones, you'll get enough of easily... But I also love these simple, more natury, more stylish ones... and you can pick out the colors for like the birds, leaves & trees yourself...
From designed designer on Etsy
I love the blossom trees, but also love flowery ones... big tress with leaves and such. I'll tell you it's hard to pick just one. But maybe, since the plan is to move anyways... I'll get different ones, including ones for our bedroom :)
Then there's pretty art prints, patterned wallpapers and what about these cute mobile's...Made with paper or felt... available in different themes like these owl's, hearts, birds, butterflies and much more....
I found these on Etsy.com... That site is truly inspiring when it comes to DIY projects. I mean, don't go there to copy-cat brilliant ideas these people have. But it's a great inspiration for making anything. And most things aren't that expensive either and it saves tons of time when people already done it for you, right??!! :)
So peeps, I think that was it and the inspiational baby stuffs for today... I do want to share one FUN party announcement today...
So if you're ready for a party, hop on over to after five designs... Summer is coming to an end, and we are celebrating the close of the season with a month-long block party!!! The fun starts today till August 15th and there will be different activities each week, like: challenges, sales, contest and lots more... Go check it out!!
Have a great day and will see you soon! –xx-

Alice Kessler-Harris, a prominent feminist historian and author of the pioneering study Out to Work: A History of Wage-Earning Women in the United States (1982), has written a difficult book about a difficult subject. A Difficult Woman is difficult because, rather than being a conventional biography of Lillian Hellman, the celebrated and despised playwright and screenwriter, it explains her life by attempting to answer a question: How was it that Hellman, whom Kessler-Harris and others admired for her three autobiographical works (An Unfinished Woman, Pentimento and Scoundrel Time) and her "blunt and plainspoken style," had become, by the time she died in 1984, the "archetype of hypocrisy," the "embodiment of ugliness," and the public image of "the quintessential liar" (as well as the "angry woman," the "rigid Stalinist" and the "greedy, self-aggrandizing individual")—even in a "world where so many others had committed many of the same sins?" Kessler-Harris has tried to answer this question not by reassessing Hellman's character but "by thinking through her relationship to the twentieth century." That is no easy task.
Lillian Hellman was difficult in part because of her many apparent contradictions. Born in 1905 in New Orleans, she was a white Southerner who worked for civil rights. She was perhaps the most famous woman playwright in the world, yet one who thought it demeaning to be known as "a woman playwright"; a Jew who was accused of denying her Jewishness ("self-hating" was the term her Jewish neoconservative critics preferred); a truth-seeker who was said to be a congenital liar; a "tough broad" who had no particular use for feminists; a civil libertarian who was repeatedly denounced as a Stalinist; a woman whose face once led William F. Buckley's conservative National Review to run a cover story showing her looking in the mirror and asking, "Who is the ugliest of them all?" Yet she had an allure, as evidenced by her numerous attractive male bedmates, whose names Kessler-Harris has no compunction about naming.
Hellman was also a difficult woman because she liked being—not to put too fine a point on it—difficult. Sometimes she was difficult on principle: for example, she would not allow her plays to be performed in apartheid South Africa. Sometimes she was difficult professionally: she once struck a deal with Ladies' Home Journal for three lucrative articles but specified that not a word of hers could be changed. Sometimes she was difficult temperamentally: as Kessler-Harris reports, "She expected accountants and agents alike not only to understand and respect her principles but to honor all her unspoken as well as spoken wishes." And sometimes she was difficult, period. Stephen Gillers, who worked with Hellman as co-chair of the Committee for Public Justice, an activist organization that she helped found in the 1970s to protect constitutional rights and liberties, told me that a better title for Kessler-Harris's book would have been An Impossible Woman.
Although Kessler-Harris does a brave and fair-minded job of traversing the thicket of -isms surrounding Hellman (Stalinism and Trotskyism, Zionism and anti-Semitism, communism, McCarthyism, cold war liberalism), a principal value of her book is the way it shows how labels like "Stalinist" obfuscate rather than capture the character of this complicated woman, not to mention the century through which she passed. Consider the striking contrast between her interactions with the two McCarthys, Joseph and Mary. Kessler-Harris makes clear why Hellman's reaction to the McCarthyite charges that she was a subversive and a possible communist propagandist won her kudos and glory, whereas her lawsuit for defamation against Mary McCarthy (who said of Hellman on the Dick Cavett Show that "every word she writes is a lie, including 'and' and 'the'") earned her obloquy and ridicule.

Ejiofor Alike and Chineme Okafor
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja has been hit with sudden increase in scarcity of petrol in most of its major filling stations that hitherto sold the product with limited challenges.
Meanwhile, motorists and other users of petroleum products would have a sigh of relief as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) will today reopen the Atlas Cove and Ejigbo Depots in Lagos, which pump fuel to the corporation's pipeline network and depots in the South-West, THISDAY has learnt.
Although, supply and sale of petrol in the city had been inconsistent for a long time now owing to lingering misunderstanding between the Federal Government and marketers of the product over the management of petrol subsidy claims in the Petroleum Support Fund (PSF), the sudden increase of vehicular queues in most of the service stations visited yesterday indicated that product supply to the city may have become minimal.
The shortage may have been occasioned by the shut-down of the Kaduna Refinery and Petrochemical Company (KRPC) for two weeks by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) as well as distortion of product supplies and distribution by the current face-off between the government and marketers.
Following an enquiry by THISDAY, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and its subsidiary, Products and Pipeline Marketing Company (PPMC) could not provide adequate information as regards the latest development and so allegations that the current ordeal of Capital Oil and Gas Ltd may have contributed in upsetting the distribution of products could not be ascertained.
Acting Group General Manager Public Affairs of the NNPC, Mr. Fidel Pepple, simply said he could not respond to the enquiry.
THISDAY had reported that the NNPC had shut down the Kaduna Refinery and Petrochemical Company (KRPC) for two weeks for routine maintenance; a development which may have contributed to the acute shortage in supply considering that the corporation had relied on the Kaduna refinery to augment its supply to the city and other parts of the north.
However, the decision to reopen the Atlas Cove depot, it was learnt, followed the repair of the damaged pipeline at Arepo area of Ogun State.
A source at Atlas Depot told THISDAY last night that the pipeline was repaired last week and the test run was completed last night.
"We have started pumping products to Ejigbo depot. In fact, Ejigbo has about four million litres of PMS and the facility will start loading to trucks tomorrow (today). We have also started pumping from Ejigbo to Mosimi and in due course we will pump to Ibadan, Ore and Ilorin," he said.
THISDAY gathered that all trucks that were programmed to load NNPC products from the private depots at Apapa have been re-directed to load at Ejigbo depot to ease the traffic congestion in Apapa.
This development is however a big blow to the private depot owners, who have been selling products at exorbitant prices because of the collapse of NNPC facilities.
The Atlas Cove is designed to pump fuel to all these depots in the South-West along System 2B, which is the most active depot system in the country.
The Pipeline Products and Marketing Company (PPMC), a subsidiary of the NNPC had in August shut down System 2B Network, which pumps imported products from the Atlas Cove Depot to Ejigbo Satellite Depot, also in Lagos and Mosimi in Ogun State, as well as to Ibadan, Ore and Ilorin Depots.
The shutdown of System 2B followed a pipeline fire and explosion in Arepo, Ogun State, which was caused by sabotage.
The explosion was caused by vandals who attempted to siphon petroleum products from the network.
The vandals also attacked and killed some NNPC workers, who went to access the extent of the damage by the explosion.
With most of the NNPC depots in the South West out of operation, all tankers from different parts of the country have been coming into the private depots in Lagos to lift NNPC products.
This situation worsened the fuel crisis and created serious traffic gridlock in Apapa area since the past few months.

Lazy Gardening: Container planting offers convenience, greater flexibility
Most of my efforts on expanding backyard plantings focus on container planting for the following reasons:
Container planting requires less weeding: A limited amount of encased soil topped with a layer of mulch requires less weeding than a flower bed. That frees up time for other activities.
Container planting affords flexibility: A flower may grow better in a different location, or look better next to a different plant. It's much easier to move containers until you're satisfied with the results than it is to repeatedly transplant flowers or other plants.
Container planting doesn't require much space: I have a large backyard, but container planting also works well for someone whose outdoor space is limited to a balcony or entry area.
Caveat: A container plant requires more regular watering, but there's a fairly easy solution for that. The plant container absorbs heat. That raises soil temperature, which hurts the plant's roots. More regular watering is needed to cool the soil and keep the plant from dying.
Fortunately, it's relatively easy to address that issue. Just take an empty plastic food bottle you would otherwise toss in the trash or recycling bin. Drill holes on the bottom half of one side of it (bottom picture left). Embed the bottle in the container soil when you pot the plant, with the holed side facing the plant and its roots.
For watering, open the cap (bottom picture right), fill the embedded bottle with water and then close the cap . All the water will slowly drain out at the root level, where the plant needs it most.
How often do container plants need to be watered? That depends upon climate, time of year and lessons learned from trial and error.
My container plants get watered every other day during periods when the afternoon highs regularly top 90 degrees. During cooler periods, watering gets done every third or fourth day.
Container planting represents one more way to get additional pleasure from gardening without also adding a corresponding amount of work.

thanks for sharing... i think this linux distro is the best one at this time
The biggest issue with most linux distributions is the hardware drivers (not including manufacturer drivers but less working opensource drivers). If someone really wants to trade in Windows for linux it would be very handy to have the manufacturer drivers installed autmatically
It's not a "perfect desktop" just because you installed a bunch of software. Drivers is as mentioned the biggest issue. Software is the easy part. We need video drivers, print drivers, sound issues solved these would be way more useful. Software installs are nice but...
Thanks a million to the author for this great guide.
Have you been able to get Opera to hand magnet links to Transmission? I have tried adding a Program (magnet) but I get a "Could not start external helper application" error from Opera.

Wellington: The All Blacks confirmed Ben Smith as their first-choice full-back in the team named Thursday for the opening Rugby Championship Test against Australia, with World Cup winner Israel Dagg finding himself on the outer.
Dagg failed to even make the match-day squad for the clash in Sydney, as coach Steve Hansen stuck with the line-up that completed a 3-0 whitewash against England in June.
The run-on side features only two injury-related changes from the third England Test, with Wyatt Crockett in for the sidelined Tony Woodcock and Conrad Smith returning from a hand injury to demote Malakai Fekitoa to the bench.
Conrad Smith`s return follows Hansen`s regular policy of slotting his injured stars straight back into the team once they are fit, regardless of how their replacement has played.
But he abandoned the practice when it came to choosing a full-back, admitting Ben Smith`s form had been irresistible since he took up the position after Dagg suffered a knee injury in the first Test against England.
"While we have been very happy with Israel Dagg`s performances at 15, Ben has come in and raised the bar to another level," he said.
"The challenge for Israel now is to get his performances -- when he gets the opportunity -- to an even higher level."
Dagg, a 39-test veteran who was a key part of New Zealand`s 2011 World Cup triumph, has endured a patchy season at Super Rugby level, while Smith has consistently produced outstanding performances.
The three New Zealand-Australia Championship Tests also will also decide the trans-Tasman Bledisloe Cup and Hansen said the All Blacks were keen to defend the trophy.
"We always enjoy playing Australia and this Test is no different," he said.
In other team news, Hansen said loose forward Liam Messam was not considered this week because of fatigue and prop Charlie Faumuina was a late withdrawal after coming down with an illness.
Crockett`s promotion to the starting 15 opens the way for the uncapped Joe Moody to potentially make his debut from he bench.
New Zealand (15-1):
Ben Smith; Cory Jane, Conrad Smith, Ma`a Nonu, Julian Savea; Aaron Cruden, Aaron Smith; Kieran Reid, Richie McCaw (captain), Jerome Kaino; Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick; Owen Franks, Dane Coles, Wyatt Crockett.
Replacements: Keven Mealamu, Ben Franks, Joe Moody, Steven Luatua, Sam Cane, TJ Perenara, Beauden Barrett, Malakai Fekitoa.

The affairs of the Craft are
managed and administered by a governing body known as the Master
Court. The members of the Master Court are elected each year at the
Choosing Meeting of the Incorporation held in September. The Master
Court act under the Rules and Regulations of the Incorporation of
1904 as amended which provide as follows:
to usage, and in terms of the Letter of Guildry, dated 6th
February, 1605, the funds of the Incorporation shall be exclusively
appropriated, after defraying expenses of management, and of
defending its rights and interests, to charitable, benevolent, and
any other good and pious uses, which may tend to the advancement of
the common weal of the Burgh, but primarily to the support of
indigent members, widows, and unmarried daughters of members, and
orphans of members under 15 years of age, with power in extreme
cases to make allowance to children even above 15 years of age; but
all grants and allowances shall be at the discretion and during the
pleasure of the Master Court."
The objects of the Incorporation
therefore are principally the provision of support to members,
their widows and dependants and the advance of appropriate
charitable causes and the good of the community of Glasgow.

The five-year relative survival rate for B-cell lymphoma is 67 percent, while the 10-year relative survival rate is 55 percent, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Aggressive B-cell lymphomas are often curable, while slow-growing lymphomas are difficult to treat and often recur after remission. Actual survival rates for B-cell lymphoma depend on the stage of the condition and age of the patient.
B-cell lymphomas, a form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, develop in the lymphatic system and mostly affect people in their 60s and 70s, notes the University of Maryland Medical Center. After diagnosis, 67 percent of patients survive through the first five years while 55 percent of patients survive 10 years. Patients with slow-growing B-cell lymphoma are at a high risk of disease-specific death than those with aggressive lymphoma. Slow-growing lymphomas are potentially curable if diagnosed in the first or second stage. However, since they do not produce any symptoms until they reach advanced stages, indolent lymphomas spread to other sites and become difficult to treat.
Although aggressive lymphomas are often curable, they are more likely to cause early death if left untreated, states the University of Maryland Medical Center. High-grade aggressive B-cell lymphomas are curable with intensive chemotherapy combinations. Since the early 1990s, survival rates for lymphoma patients, especially those under the age of 45, have significantly improved.

PhD scholarship in Finance, Spring 2016 CBS, Denmark
PhD scholarships in Finance, Spring 2016
The Department of Finance at the Copenhagen Business School invites applications for PhD scholarships in finance. Several scholarships are available of which one is a general scholarship within any area of finance while three scholarships are within specific areas of finance, as described below.
One scholarship is available within the field of financial frictions and the student will be associated with the Center for Financial Frictions (FRIC), which is a Center of Excellence funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. Financial frictions are costs or impediments in connection with financial transactions, for example due to transactions costs, borrowing constraints, credit risk, capital requirements, or asymmetric information.
One scholarship is available within the areas of household finance and behavioral finance. This scholarship is funded by a European Research Council Starting grant awarded by the European Research Council to Professor Steffen Andersen.
One scholarship is available within the area of empirical entrepreneurial finance. This scholarship is funded by the Sapere Aude grant awarded by the Danish Council for Independent Research to Professor Morten Sørensen.
All scholarships initially cover a three-year period of study. Extended funding is available for successful candidates who wish to pursue a university career.
The PhD program at CBS allows students to conduct research under the supervision of CBS professors, supported by research training courses. The program is highly international, and students are expected to take part in the Department's research activities, such as seminars and conferences organized by the Department.
CBS PhD graduates in finance are held in high esteem in academia and research institutions as well as in government and the private sector where their research qualifications are in high demand. The Department of Finance has placed PhD candidates at leading academic institutions (WU Vienna University, Cass Business School, London Business School and the EPFL in Lausanne), at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, at Goldman Sachs, and in leading Danish financial institutions.
Copenhagen Business School has a broad commitment to the excellence, distinctiveness and relevance of its teaching and research programs. Candidates who wish to join us should demonstrate enthusiasm for working in an organization of this type (highlighting, for example, relevant business, educational and dissemination activities).
The starting date is normally August 1 or September 1, but may be agreed upon individually.
General information:
A PhD scholarship normally runs for a period of 3 years, and includes teaching obligations equivalent of ½ year's work (840 work hours). The scholarships are fully salaried positions, according to the national Danish collective agreement. The scholarship includes tuition fees, office space, travel grants plus a salary, currently between DKK 29,104.00 (app. 3,901.00 €) and DKK 35,164.00 (app. 4,713.00 €) per month including pension contributions, depending on seniority.
Appointment and salary will be in accordance with the Ministry of Finance's collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC).
The PhD student will be enrolled at the PhD School in Economics and Management. Please see the CBS homepage for more information about the PhD program, http://www.cbs.dk/en/research/phd-programmes.
To be considered, the candidate should have a basic training at the Master's level (similar to the 3 + 2 Bologna process). The applicant must have successfully completed the Master's degree before commencing as PhD student at CBS, but we also welcome applications from individuals close to completion of the Master's degree. Generally, a completed MBA education does not fulfill this requirement. The applicants must be fluent in English. The successful applicant must have a record of top grades from previously completed programs. Priority will be given to candidates who have both a strong quantitative background and strong previous training in financial economics.
Application procedure:
The application (see link below) must include a project description of up to 5 pages. This research proposal should contain a presentation of an original research question, a description of the theoretical framework and related literature. Please only send one application and indicate in which of the scholarships you see your project proposal.
In addition to the research proposal, the application must include the completed online application form, copies of a Master's degree certificate or other certificates of a corresponding level, brief curriculum vitae (CV), a list of papers and publications, and one copy of a selected written work (e.g. Master's thesis). Applicants must enclose documentation for English language skills. Documentation of GRE and/or GMAT scores as well as two letters of recommendation are strongly encouraged. For submitting GMAT scores, look up Copenhagen Business School in the GMAC register and choose the PhD Program.
For submitting letters of reference, please have them sent to Julie de Molade, email@example.com.
A committee of experts will assess the applications. The assessment will be based on the merits of the applicant, as well as the quality and relevance of the project. Following this assessment, the Department will select the recipients of the scholarships among the qualified candidates.

Doctors may perform an open surgical repair, all-arthroscopic repair or mini-open repair to repair rotator cuff tears caused by an acute injury, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Surgery is often necessary if pain persists despite nonsurgical treatment.
The size of the tear, the condition of the bone and tendon tissue, the patient's anatomy and the doctor's experience are several important factors in determining the suitable shoulder surgery for a patient, notes the AAOS. During an open repair, doctors create an incision on the shoulder and disconnect the deltoid shoulder muscle to view the torn tendon more clearly. They often remove bone spurs from the bottom part of the acromion.
An all-arthroscopic repair is the least invasive surgical option for repairing a torn rotator cuff, and it involves making small cuts and inserting a tiny camera, known as an arthroscope, into the shoulder joint, explains the AAOS. Doctors use the camera to guide thin surgical instruments into the damaged tendon.
During a mini-open repair, a doctor creates an incision that is about 3 to 5 centimeters long and insert an arthroscope to evaluate and repair the damage to structures within the shoulder joint, states the AAOS. He views the interior of the shoulder directly without using video monitors.

One of the leading exponents of Conceptual art, Sol LeWitt stressed the idea behind his work over its execution. "A blind man can make art if what is in his mind can be passed to another mind in some tangible form," he once said. LeWitt is best known for his large-scale "Wall Drawings," rigorous arrays of designs, shapes, grids, and colors rendered in pencil and paint in coherence with strict instructions and diagrams to be followed in executing the work. LeWitt made over 1,200 of these works in his career, his visual vocabulary in strong alignment with Minimalism despite his rejection of the movement. His "structures", as he preferred to call sculptures, were variations on geometric shapes, constructed from steel, polyurethane, or concrete, often featuring stacked cubes without sides. LeWitt is one of the seminal artists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, influencing artists like Eva Hesse and Frank Stella, among countless others.

True Frogs: Ranidae - Physical Characteristics, Diet, Behavior And Reproduction, Conservation Status, Micro Frog (microbatrachella Capensis): Species Accounts - GEOGRAPHIC RANGE, HABITAT, TRUE FROGS AND PEOPLE

BROWN FROG (Rana temporaria): SPECIES ACCOUNTS
True frogs live in much of the world, including most of North and Central America, the north end and parts of central South America, most of Europe and Asia, much of Africa, and Australia. Some members of the family are also found on islands in the ocean. Some populations, like those in much of Australia, were introduced to these areas by humans and previously did not live there.
Many species live near water, such as a pond, quiet stream, or marsh. A few, like the goliath frog, make their homes in fast-moving rivers and rapids. Other true frogs, however, spend most of their lives away from water in forests or grasslands, and only return to ponds or wetlands once a year for breeding. Of these land-living frogs, some do not return to the water at all and instead lay their eggs in moist places on land.
People from many countries, including the United States, eat frog legs. The legs usually come from large true frogs, often bullfrogs that have been captured from the wild. Some Asian and African people also make frog soups and other meals out of entire frogs and tadpoles. In addition, some people in different parts of the world use certain parts of frogs as medicines.

Weight loss is about more than diet and exercise. While any good weight loss program will seem easy enough to follow, staying vigilant day in, day out can be difficult for a number of reasons. Lack of variety, tiredness, temptation, obligations, or plain old boredom can try even the strongest resolve.
Motivational aids can act as an inspiration and a reminder to re-focus attention back onto long term goals, and avoid the temptation of short-term gratification. Studies have shown that people with high levels of motivation are more likely to be successful in their weight loss goals, and you can't argue with science! (1,2)
Weight Loss Motivation Quotes
Use it as a mantra, stick it to your fridge or make it your phone's screen saver. Choose something that reminds you of why you're losing weight. That way, when you're tempted to slip up, having inspiration and not just snack food to reach for will heighten the likelihood of making a healthy choice. Here's a few to get you started:
"I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday"
"You're only one workout away from a good mood"
"No excuses, only results"
"Think about why you started"
"What you do today will improve all your tomorrows"
"Suck it up now, and you won't have to suck it in later"
"You earn your body"
"Someone who is busier than you is in the gym right now"
"Is this the best you can do?"
Weight Loss Motivation Ideas
Track your performance – Keeping tabs on their progress is something that keeps a huge number of people on target. Stepping on the scales at the end of the week can be a proud and inspiring moment. Research has shown that positive reinforcement is a big motivator when it comes to weight loss (1).
For some people, fat loss does not necessarily translate to a drop in weight because the body is laying down muscle at the same time. If you track body measurements, for example, waist, biceps and hips, as well as weight, you'll most likely have something to smile about even if the scales aren't cooperating, and you'll get a really great idea of how your body is changing for the better over time.
Set goals – Set regular, attainable goals. Working toward small goals, say, weight lost in a month, or centimeters per week, gives you regular wins which will keep your fires burning. Having a reasonable goal also prevents you from going overboard - someone whose only goal is to lose as much weight as possible is more likely to make unhealthy choices, give up, or gain back the weight they've lost. The most important part of goal setting, of course, is celebrating victories! Treat yourself to something you want, but be sensible. Make it something fun, and stay away from food-based rewards.
Boost your mood – Maintaining an energy deficit while dropping weight can sometimes make you feel tired, run down, and irritable. These are the times you're most likely to turn to comfort foods or skip exercise. The good news is that there are a number of products designed to assist weight loss that can lift your mood, get you off your backside, and they won't break your diet.
Fat burner supplements frequently include mood boosters like PEA and L-tyrosine and safe, natural stimulants like caffeine and bitter orange extract for energy. In addition, these supplements regularly contain ingredients that target the metabolism and promote fat burning, like L-carnitine and green tea extract. Fat burner supplements are safe, effective and help you to both look and feel good. Some of the more popular products include Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite and Oxyshred, which have used by many people to promote safe, effective weight loss.
Get the right gear – Exercise is a crucial part of healthy weight loss. In addition to burning calories, exercise lifts the metabolism for hours afterward, and having more muscle tissue means you lose more weight in the long run, because muscle cells use a lot more energy than fat. Having the right exercise gear can help in a number of ways. Using the correct shoes is important to prevent injuries which can put you out of action. Modern activewear is lightweight and takes up very little space, so it's easy to just shove in a bag and go. It is designed to be flexible and sweated in, so you'll be more comfortable when you're working out, and feeling confident in stylish gym gear can put you in a mood to achieve.
Weight Loss Motivation Tips
*Work out with a friend and motivate each other. Keep each other honest!
*Colour can affect mood. Wear bright colours when you need a pick-me-up.
*Drop the idea of being perfect – we all make mistakes. Tomorrow you can do better.
*Get enough sleep – tired people eat more and make bad decisions.
*Schedule your workouts in your diary and stick to them like you would any other meeting.
*Start slow – don't aim to change everything in your life at once, lose the weight first.
*Variety in your meals and workouts will keep things exciting.
*Ask your friends and colleagues not to distract you with unhealthy options.
*Think about the negative consequences of not losing weight.
*Remember that you are cheating yourself with every excuse.
*Use images – An unflattering picture, a celebrity body you admire, even your kids can give you a visual reason to change your life.
Like diets or exercises, motivation is not a one-size-fits-all affair. Everybody has different reasons for losing weight and different goals, so it is important to motivate yourself with something that addresses your situation and gets you going. Good luck!

No Backsies On U.S. Air's Obviously Mispriced Backseats
from the honest-mistake dept
As much as we'd love to side with the little guy, we have to draw the line here. U.S. Airways agreed to honor 1,000 tickets accidentally advertised and sold for $1.86. We said it before when United did a similar thing a few years ago, and we'll say it again: The airline should not have to honor these fares. Sure, many of us would have jumped on the deal -- in the hopes that it was actually true and knowing it probably wasn't. Even if you thought one dollar and 86 cents was the intended price, it was clearly an honest mistake. Those who make the finder's-keeper's argument should at least be consistent. If a customer overypays for something by $1,000 because of an obvious computer-related error -- say, a bank's faulty bill pay system or a typo in an online form -- then you should also argue that the business can keep the mistaken excess. Unlike United, which caved from public pressure and finally allowed its fares to stand, U.S. Air immediately gave in before the negative publicity. They probably figured it would cost them less to allow the flights than take up the fight. So, in a perverse way, this was a good decision. It's a struggling airline that literally can't afford the bad press. But maybe they should have proposed a compromise instead. People get to keep the frequent flyer miles if they return the tickets, which the airline can sell again at market price. Some of the customers were only after the miles and don't plan to take the flights anyway.

The ball is crossed in at varying heights and positions and the goalkeeper competes with outfield players to catch the ball. More players can be added gradually to recreate a game situation.
Soccer Goalkeeping Drills
Aim: To improve Goalkeeping techniques
Suitable for: U11's and upwards
Equipment: Marked area, cones and balls
Organisation: Play is set up using one goal, one GK, one server, one wide player, one defender, two forwards and 10 balls. The aim of the drill is for the server to cross the ball from a wide area or corner in to the cones area around the 6yd box. The 2 forwards and the defender are allowed to compete for the ball. The emphasis is on the GK's decision making, anticipating the flight and speed of the ball to come and catch the ball at its highest point. If the GK collects the ball they must move towards the edge of the box and throw the ball towards the wide play simulating a fast break attack.
- Alternate sides so crosses come in from both the left and right wide positions.
- Change angles of server
- Wide player can cross balls in to coned area.
- Drive crosses
- Loft crosses
Coaching Points
- Keeper to be on toes all the time
- Communication, keep talking to the defenders and other players around the last 3rd of the pitch (KEEPER'S BALL !!!) Even at training it is good practice to shout loud for the ball
- Anticipation & awareness
- Footwork - agility & flexibility
- Starting position
