And it's not just Amazon and other corporate giants getting into the drone game. The multibillion-dollar industry is forecast to grow exponentially in coming years. Sinclair Joins National Consortium For Drone Research By Lewis Wallace • Jan 29, 2016 Lewis Wallace / WYSO Sinclair has become the first community college in the country to join a federal research consortium on unmanned aerial systems (UAS), or drones. That comes after the college in Dayton spent around $10 million over the last few years to invest in facilities, permits and new courses focused on development of UAS technologies and workforce training for those who want to go into the industry. In 2015, the school unveiled a new UAS test center at its downtown Dayton campus. Sinclair To Unveil New Drone Test Center By Lewis Wallace • Aug 23, 2015 Lewis Wallace / WYSO Sinclair Community College is unveiling its new drone test center in a Monday afternoon ribbon-cutting that coincides with a first-of-its-kind conference about unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The renovated test center was funded with $4 million from the state and $1 million from Sinclair, and it's meant to be used by drone entrepreneurs and educational groups from around the country. It includes manufacturing facilities and a new wind tunnel for UAS testing. Deb Norris is the VP of workforce development at Sinclair. As Drone Regulation Delay Continues, Locals Hold Their Breath By Lewis Wallace • Jan 19, 2015 Lewis Wallace / WYSO Supporters of drone development are anxiously awaiting a first draft of Federal Aviation Administration regulations expected to come out soon. Right now hobbyists can fly drones—the industry term is unmanned aerial systems or UAS—but companies are prohibited from flying them outdoors unless they have special federal authorization for individual flights. The FAA said it would release a proposed rule by the end of 2014 to regulate commercial drones in U.S. Watch Your Head: The Ohio UAS Conference Starts Tuesday By Lewis Wallace • Aug 26, 2014 A three-day conference on unmanned aerial systems (UAS), or drones, starts Tuesday in Dayton. This is the third Ohio UAS conference, and the first one since the greater Dayton area was turned down in its bid to become a federal testing site for commercial drones; Mo McDonald with the Dayton Development Coalition says he still expects the industry to grow in Dayton. ODOT Selects Springfield As Site for Ohio/Indiana UAS Center By Wayne Baker • Jun 13, 2013 The Ohio Department of Transportation has selected Springfield as the site for the Ohio/Indiana Unmanned Aerial Systems Center. The center will be the hub for Ohio and Indiana's joint operational efforts to become a test site for unmanned aerial systems.The Unmanned Aerial Systems Center will be housed in the Nextedge Applied Research and Technology Park which sits on the eastern part of Springfield along Route 40.ODOT will manage the Systems Center in Springfield, which has a two-year lease that will run until June of 2015 at a total cost of $70,000.

Renewable Fuels Nebraska (RFN), the trade organization for Nebraska's ethanol industry, announced today that they have selected Troy Bredenkamp to be the organization's next Executive Director. Bredenkamp, who most recently served as the General Manager of the Nebraska Rural Electric Association (NREA), will begin his role with RFN on November 1.
"We are excited to have Troy and his extensive association experiences leading our organization into the Future," said Ted Free, General Manager of Bridgeport Ethanol and President of Renewable Fuels Nebraska.
"We face a lot of challenges and opportunities in Nebraska's ethanol industry. Troy possesses the background, the expertise and the vision to help our members navigate those challenges while helping to propel our organization and industry forward".
Prior to his last position, Bredenkamp served as CEO of the Colorado Farm Bureau, Director of Congressional Relations with American Farm Bureau Federation in Washington, DC and Vice President of Technical Services with Nebraska Cattlemen.
"As the 2nd largest ethanol producing state in the US, this is a tremendous opportunity to serve as RFN's next executive director, getting in on the ground floor and helping build an organization worthy of the significant economic role that the ethanol industry plays here in Nebraska," Bredenkamp said. "Agriculture and rural
prosperity have always been passions of mine, and RFN represents ethanol – one of the greatest value-added agricultural products and one with substantial economic significance to this state. I am excited to get started representing this vital industry."
A native Nebraskan born in York, Bredenkamp was raised on a small family farm near Waco, NE. He holds a BS in Education from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. Bredenkamp serves on the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and Industry State Board of Directors and as the Public Affairs Council Chair for the State Chamber.
Bredenkamp also serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors for The Hope Venture, a Lincoln-based charity helping to improve lives in Africa, India and here in the US. He resides with his family in Lincoln, NE.

It may recalled that the ace director had fallen sick a month ago after he complained of difficulty in breathing. He was later discharged from the hospital after treatment. Since then, his health continued to deteriorate.
Born in Palakollu of West Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh on May 4, 1942, Dasari created history by directing more than 150 films, which also earned him a place in the Guinness Books of Records. He had started his film career by directing `Thatha Manavudu', never looking back since, he later directed several hit films with prominent actors including Akkineni, NTR and many other popular Telugu stars.
He became Rajya Sabha member twice, and also served as a union minister. He had campaigned for the Congress party in 2004 elections.
He was also a friend, philosopher & guide for several directors apart from being an actor who rose to prominence in cinema by acting in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada films. As a film producer, he produced 53 films in his illustrious career. Apart from this, he richly contributed to the industry by providing story and screen-play for more than 250 films. He was also in reasonable demand in Bollywood. His two super-hit Hindi films are Swarg Narak (1978) and Jyoti Bane Jwala Jwala (1980). However, his most talked about Hindi film was 'Aaj Ka MLA Ram Avtar' – a political comedy starring actor Rajesh Khanna in the protagonist's role.
His films spoke of social justice and equal rights for all. He stood for the underdog and his movies were trend setters. He gave breaks to actors like Mohan Babu, Murali Mohan and R Narayana Murthy; and directors like Kodi Ramakrishna and Relangi Narasimha Rao. He is credited for elevating Sridevi, Jayasudha and Jayaprada to the status of superstardom. He was respectfully addressed as Guruvu Garu in the industry.

The "Journal of Crazy Things Members of Congress Say" got a new entry last week during an otherwise unremarkable hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee courtesy of Rep. Curt Clawson (R-Fla.).
The freshman has been on the job only a month after winning the special election to replace the coke-lovin' Trey Radel. Anyway, Clawson thought the two folks with the foreign-sounding names and dark skin testifying before the committee were from the government of India. And he went out of his way to overflow with praise for the world's second most populous nation. It was downright charming — until you realize that Nisha Biswal is the assistant secretary of state for South and Central Asian affairs and Arun Kumar is the assistant secretary of commerce and director general of the U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service.
Clawson: I am familiar with your country. I love your country. And I am hopeful with the new change in regime that the future and the land of promise and the land of opportunity of India can finally become so….
So, I'm enthusiastic about working with you all and anything I can do to make the relationship with India better….
So, just as your capital is welcome here to produce good-paying jobs in the U.S., I'd like our capital to be welcome there and there to be free enough capital so that both sides are on the same territory. And I ask cooperation and commitment and priority from your government in so doing. Can I have that?
Biswal: I think your question is to the Indian government and we certainly share your sentiments, and we certainly will advocate that on behalf of the U.S. government.
Clawson: Of course. And I'm asking your opinion of how they view….
Biswal: Like I said, I think we have heard a lot of positive signals, a lot of positive intentions. And we will be engaging both through the state department, through the commerce department, through our USTR, through our treasury department to make sure that we are engaging on those issues and looking for the concrete steps forward.
Clawson: Okay, let's see some progress.
The transcript above is from the video clip on The Post's Web site. I point this out only because it is a more complete version of events than that presented by the clip made famous by the folks at "The Cable" at Foreign Policy. Their clip chops out everything after Clawson says "Of course" and all of Biswal's follow-up response. The result is Clawson coming off as more of a total dolt saying, "Of course. Okay, let's see some progress."
Clawson has since apologized. "I made a mistake in speaking before being fully briefed and I apologize," he said in a statement late Friday. "I'm a quick study, but in this case I shot an air ball." Not nearly quick enough. Not only was he not briefed (as he claimed), but he also failed to look at the witness list provided to him or even listen to the introduction of Biswal and Kumar. As a result, Clawson's case of mistaken identity produced a cringe-worthy moment in race that was gobsmackingly bad — even for Congress.
"It's extremely uncommon for foreign officials to testify before Congress under oath," Foreign Policy explained on Friday. Sadly, it's becoming extremely uncommon for members of Congress to actually know what they're talking about.

As a fitter and lingerie blogger, I feel obligated to invest in only the best fitting bras. I try not to indulge in anything less than the very best fit. But then, Chantelle released a full busted option in the C Chic Sexy line and made it available in a 30G. See ya later, willpower!
Before the plunge bra debuted this summer, I've had an unhealthy obsession with the Chantelle C Chic Sexy Demi. It was the first bra I saw on a client, but with European sizes from 32-38 B-F, there was no way it would work its French magic on me. When I saw that the 3-Part Cup would arrive in a more inclusive size range, I jumped at the chance to try a 30G/30DDDD. Generally, I prefer the English sizing system over the European and I have not found the methods to be equivalent. With the Chantelles I've tried before, the 30G (or 4D) was a tad small whereas the 30H (5D) was too big. According to the tag, the French 30H is a U.K. 30FF which is still an entire cup size lower than what I usually take. As I suspected, the 30G is fractionally small. Luckily, with this deep plunge shape, I'm able to squeeze by with a little spillage.
In the design department, the C Chic Sexy 3-Part Plunge gets top marks. This type of bra -- sheer, classic, black -- is currently my favorite, but the glamorous details take it to the next level. I'm completely enamored with the pleated straps, rhinestone charm, and the scalloped edge trim. The designers at Chantelle have done a wonderful job of taking these intricate pieces and fusing them into one elegant, sophisticated style. Unlike other lingerie brands where one visual element (like fabric or embroidery) accounts for the majority of the design perspective, Chantelle's collections are carefully crafted and thoughtful. It's the whole construction, rather than a singular piece of interest, that makes this bra so special.
Side notes:
- With Chantelle bras, I've felt the cups are fairly wide set. This makes the spillage on my larger side a little more obvious, but it's great for ladies who have more natural space between their breasts.
- The band fit true to size. Not as snug as Panache/some Ewa Michalak nor as loose as Freya.
- I wasn't expecting the side and bottom portions to be opaque. Once I wore it, I was relieved since those sections add fantastic nip coverage. If you're looking for a totally see-through number, you'd be better off with the Freya Lyla.
- It's silly, but the logo fabric?! You know that "C" stands for Cece!

"Best Practices" firms are a group of independent insurance agencies taking part in an annual study that has become a recognition of the superior accomplishments of top insurance agencies in the country. Gibson Insurance Group first received the honor in 2001 and has retained the "Best Practices" status every year since. About 900 independent agencies out of more than 32,000 within the United States were nominated to take part in the annual study, with only 195 agencies qualifying for the honor. To be chosen, agencies had to be the top-performing agencies in their revenue category. The agencies were nominated by either an IIABA-affiliated state association or an insurance company, and qualified based on their outstanding customer services, growth and financial management. ELKHART -- The Indiana Credit Union League awarded Michiana Credit Union (MCU) first place in the Desjardin Youth Financial Education Award program and second place in the Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility Award Program for credit unions.

We take chances everyday in our life.
Consciously or sub consciously we calculate
the risk reward factor.
Those who took chances in Bitcoin are at huge profit today.
Risk Reward
By investing $10, if it can grow to $100 or more the risk reward ratio is good and it is worth taking chances.
Yes! one must always review where you are investing. If it looks like a scam then better to stay away. But, most of the time it is difficult to judge.
Who thought in 2009 that Bitcoin will give such returns?
Yet, there were people who just out of curiosity put some money into it without having any inclination of its great growth.
Suggested Strategy
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Get into 7 to 10 Low Risk - High Reward plans.
4 will fail
2 may just give back you initial investment
Even if 1 plan takes off, your life is made.

chastity belt I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone (LP, £18.95)label: Hardly Art
Chastity Belts second full-length for Hardly Art Produced and mixed by Matthew Simms of Wire Full album download included with LP Bonus tracks included on CD and LP A few years ago, while in a tour van somewhere in Idaho, the members of Chastity BeltJulia Shapiro, Gretchen Grimm, Lydia Lund, and Annie Truscottopted to pass the time in a relatively unusual fashion: They collectively paid one another compliments, in great and thoughtful detail. This is what we like best about you, this is why we love you. I think of that image all the time, the four of them opening themselves up like that, by choice. Its hard to imagine other bands doing the same. But beyond their troublesome social media presencesee: the abundance of weapons-grade duck face, the rolling suitcase artand beyond their moonlit deadpan lies, at the very least, an honesty and an intimacy and an emotional brilliance that galvanises everything they do together. Which is a fancy way of saying: Theyre funny, but theyre also capable of being vulnerable. This June marks the release of I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone, their third and finest full-length to date. Recorded live in July of 2016, at Jackpot! in Portland, Oregon (birthplace of some of their favourite Elliott Smith records), its a dark and uncommonly beautiful set of moody post-punk that finds the Seattle outfits feelings in full view, unobscured by humour. There is no irony in its title: Before she had Chastity Belt, and the close relationships that she does now, Shapiro considered herself a career loner. Thats no small gesture. I can make as much sense of this music as I can my 20s: This is a brave and often exhilarating tangle of mixed feelings and haunting melodies that connects dizzying anguish (This Time of Night) to shimmering insight (Different Now) to gauzy ambiguity (Stuck, written and sung by Grimm). Its a serious record but not a serious departure, defined best, perhaps, by a line that Shapiro shares early on its staggering title track: I wanna be sincere. When asked, their only request was that what youre reading right now be brief, honest, free of hyperbole, and v chill. When pressed for more, Truscott said, Just say that we love each other. Because we do. This is who they are, this is why I love them. David Bevan, February 2017. Tracks: 1. Different Now 2. Caught In A Lie 3. This Time Of Night 4. Stuck 5. Complain 6. It's Obvious 7.

Superintendent Sheila Mitchell is currently reviewing district policies on all religious activities following legal guidance from the state and the school district's attorney.
Mitchell said she sought legal counsel after the ACLU of KY sent letters to superintendents in August asking for the district to stop Gideons International from handing out Bibles during school hours or face potential litigation.
By Meaghan Downs
and Ben Carlson
News staff
Attorneys for the city council and fiscal court confirmed this week that, despite the ACLU's contention that it violates the Establishment Clause of the Constitution, both will continue to open their meetings in prayers.
"We're living in a poor place when you can't have a prayer for the community," council member Ken Evans said Monday afternoon.
Just days after the Anderson County School District issued an edict against coaches and staff leading students in prayer, attorneys for the city council and fiscal court vowed to pray on before holding public meetings.
Threatened litigation by the ACLU over Bible distribution in schools has sparked one of the most passionate and controversial topics to hit Anderson County in recent memory, and has already resulted in drastic changes to school policy that were on full display last Friday night.
Youth football in Anderson County is no longer backed up to its own goal line and facing third-and-20, but it still has a long way to go before scoring a touchdown.
The local league opened its season on Aug. 31 with four teams and big dreams for the future.
Anderson County simply willed its way to a win Friday night.
The Bearcats, obviously struggling following a week when football had almost been pushed aside by a decision to change the post-game prayer ritual that had been standard since 2005, somehow found the way to outlast South Oldham 35-20 in a game much closer than the final score would indicate.
Ever since that December Thursday in 2004 when he was introduced as Anderson County's new football coach, Mark Peach has had his sights on one football program in Kentucky.
Boyle County.
The Rebels have become the consistent statewide power that has marched the same path Peach is hoping to lead the Bearcat program on.
So close to taking a huge district win. Anderson County was so closed that the Lady Bearcats could taste it.
But close to the brink of elimination, Collins rallied to win Game 4, then whipped the Lady Bearcats in the tie-breaker to take a 3-2 (25-16, 22-25, 15-25, 25-20, 15-8) win in a major 30th District showdown.
Anderson County needed a win. That it was a blowout made things even better.
The host Lady Bearcats routed 30th District rival Shelby County, 5-0, last Wednesday to get their first win of the season. Most importantly, the Lady Bearcats likely put themselves in position to avoid the fourth, or bottom, seed in the four-team district tournament next month.
Anderson County was unable to hold on to what could have been its first win of the boys' high school soccer season last Thursday.
Fairdale scored inside the final 10 minutes to tie the Bearcats, 3-3, on the Anderson pitch.
Anderson had broken a 2-2 tie when Joe Rose connected near the 20 minute mark in the second half, but Fairdale came back to salvage the tie.
Wells Memorial Golf Scramble to be held Oct. 5
The Third Annual Jack Wells Memorial Golf Classic will be hosted by the Knights of Columbus of Lawrenceburg on Saturday, Oct. 5.
The scramble will be held at Wild Turkey Trace Golf Course, beginning with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start. A continental breakfast will be served from 7-8 a.m.

By Lucy Jordan, Senior Contributing Reporter
BRASÍLIA, BRAZIL – Seven violent attacks were reported in the southern Brazil state of Santa Catarina on Monday night, as a wave of violence which has seen dozens of buses torched reached its seventh day. In total, 54 violent incidents have been reported in 18 cities statewide since January 30th, military police said.
Authorities have credited the upsurge of attacks – which have seen relatively few injuries – to a recent police crackdown on crime, particularly drug trafficking. They say that, as with a similar surge of violence in November last year, during which 68 violent attacks were recorded, members of criminal groups that operate in and out of state jails have ordered the violence.
However, Folha de São Paulo reported that the attacks may be a reaction to an assault on inmates of Joinville prison on January 18th. CCTV footage shows the prison officers firing rubber bullet at prisoners who are half naked and crouched against a wall with their hands clasped behind their necks.
In a statement, the director of the Department of Prison Administration (Deap), Leandro Lima, said the incident was being investigated. "To give smoothness to the investigative process," the statement read, all professionals "identified in the images have been removed from duties and functions."
This is peak tourist season in wealthy state capital Florianópolis, considered to have among the best living standards in Brazil. Civil and military police maintained a heavy presence over the weekend and public transportation is operating with police escorts after 10PM.
The unrest comes soon after a period of deadly violence in São Paulo last year. October, the most violent month for São Paulo in the past two years, saw an eighty percent increase in homicides on the same period in 2011: 329, compared to 182.
That surge in violence was thought to signal the end of a "truce" between police and the First Capital Command (Primeiro Comando da Capital, PCC), a notorious gang involved in drug trafficking and organized crime.
Many experts said that those killings did not express frustration at effective policing, as authorities claimed, but anger at the widespread police brutality and extra-judicial killings that have earned Brazil criticism from rights groups.
Camila Nunes Dias, a Universidade de São Paulo sociologist and expert on the PCC, told The Rio Times that the violence in Santa Catarina could be connected to a prison gang called the PGC (Primeiro Grupo Catarinense). She said that although she did not think this violence was directly connected with the PCC, the PGC has a organizational structure based on that of the PCC and was formed partly in response to similarly poor prison conditions.
"The PCG operates in and out of prisons and has approximately ten years of existence. It is similar to PCC, but much smaller in terms of performance, structure, organization," she said. "Like the PCC, [the PCG] are the expression of the fact that the prison is today the locus of organized crime; a space in which the government does not holds the least control."
The state of Santa Catarina is one of three states in Brazil's Região Sul (South Region), along with Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul. It is a place of contrasts, boasting beautiful beaches, stunning scenery and quaint cities that are home to southern Brazil's melting pot of European migration.

This reminds me of Eli Roth's Cabin Fever, a horror film that went back to the basics and didn't rely on formula, whether successful in that endeavor or not.
Red State also stars Ronnie Connell, Kaylee DeFer, Kyle Gallner, Anna Gunn, Matt L. Jones, John Lacy, Catherine McCord, Alexa Nikolas, Stephen Root, Cooper Thornton, and Betty Aberlin.
Watch the Red State movie trailer below, look at the movie poster (click to enlarge) and leave your thoughts on them in the comments section. For more Red State photos, videos, and information, check out our Red State Page. Red State will be released in US theaters on October 19, 2011.

"Synchrony 2015"
Dear friends,
After a hugely successful family bash late last year, we are back with another big bang! We are organizing "Synchrony 2015" on 15 May 2015 and we shall be very happy to see as many of you there as who can attend the event. Especially those who had to miss out on the previous event due to the limited seats that we had.
"Synchrony" is organised to promote interaction between the interns (Fuchchas & Bachchas) and local alumni. It is an ideal platform to catch-up with the latest developments at the Institute (rumours & gossips) and also hear fancy stories of summer placements (from Interns). It is an ideal camouflaged opportunity for seniors to make some CP (and hopefully the Bachchas will not protest!!) We had a wonderful get-together last year with ~200 participants and we are confident it would be even better this year.
So, we look forward to seeing you at 18:30 onwards at Mayfair Banquets, Worli, on Friday, 15 May 2015.
We have arranged for online registration and payment (see link: ) for your convenience. Kindly make use of this facility.
The prices for this event are as under:
We look forward to your participation to this cocktails and dinner gala event to make the evening more enjoyable, including courtesy of our gift sponsors and other sponsors for the evening.

It was a priority Nr 1 to create a simple to use online solution, which is accessible from everywhere. In our vision we see all the data submission and management processes participants – manufacturers, distributors, professional users and, of course, a Competent Authority's staff – are being equal partners.
The second but not less important task was to create a system which can provide an opportunity to trace the medical device during one's lifecycle. It would be extremely useful in case the Estonian Competent Authority should receive any critical vigilance information connected to one or another medical device.
Using the forward-looking approach the Database was created with possibility to describe the medical device with the serial or LOT/serial number accuracy (UDI's dynamic part), also it is possible to mark where a device is taken into use. Should the device move to another facility, it is possible to add another connection to a new owner and as a result, by using such a descriptions history, we are able to trace the medical device while it is moving from one hospital to another. Such a precise description is needed only in the place of taking into use (health care facilities), so the manufacturers and distributors do not have to provide more data than it is necessary to identify the medical devices model (UDI's static part). In the future it will be possible to add medical device into Database by scanning an UDI code.
Even more! In the new Database it will be technically possible to link specific devices to specific patients, so we can find potentially affected patients in case we have to face yet another "PIP-MOM-whatever" problem. The patients are easily reachable and the necessary safety information will be delivered to them. Actually, we are talking here about a universal solution that will successfully fulfil the role of an implant's registry. Thanks to (once again!) forward-looking solution there is no longer any need to develop a separate system.
An important feature of the new system is that it is possible to store user manuals for medical devices and make them searchable and visible for all the users, including the lay users. Moreover! Smaller health care providers can keep in the new Database their own data about their equipment and maintenance works. This in turn ensures the storage of data and simplifies cooperation with the Surveillance Authority.
Reporting adverse incidents has become really simple and does not take remarkably much time anymore. All the printable and fill-in forms have been eliminated from the reporting process and replaced with a filling of a few additional data fields in the section of already existing device. Data application process is simple enough, so it can be managed by any health care system employee without needing him or her to do great preliminary work.
As we all know very well, it is not possible to ensure the safety of a medical device without a close cooperation between medical device users, manufacturers and Competent Authorities. The key to the successful cooperation is getting quick and adequate feedback from the device users. In case the medical device should cause problems or even prove to be dangerous, and there is reason to believe that the problem is caused by an error that has been made during the designing or manufacturing process, then it is most likely an Adverse Incident. In such situation the professional user has to find the device model from the Database and to add a brief description of the case. Then provided data will be proceeded by Competent Authority's responsible officer. In case the affected device is not presented in the Database, the rapporteur can add the new device into the Database by himself.
The entire exchange of information takes place within the system and the Competent Authority's officer has the opportunity and obligation to verify all the presented data. In case the data needs to be upgraded or there is a need to deliver any information to the data provider, the Competent Authority's officer uses the communication module in order to transmit information to the Database User. The communication module operates bilaterally and the entire information exchange is recorded within the Database linked to the particular medical device and the organisation. If necessary, it is possible to recall the dialogue and there is no need to spend time rifling through the letter archives.
And it is free!
Using of the entire system is absolutely free for all the categories of users – manufacturers, distributors and health care providers.
Just try it!
Anyone can access the training version of the Database at http://msakoolitus.sm.ee. It is just a training version, where you can feel free to play through the Database operations without damaging the real data in any way.
The actual Database is located at http://msa.sm.ee
If you have any question about Estonian Medical Devices Database, please contact us at mso|ä|terviseamet.ee
The very first idea about logic of the new Medical Devices Database was produced by the Medical Devices Department (Estonian Health Board) in the end of 2007.
The order was placed by Estonian Ministry of Social Affairs.
The used financial resource spent was nearly 150,000 € (VAT included).
The developer organisation was Piksel OÜ.

It's a start. At least that's what Fall River Post 314 hopes.
It's a start. At least that's what Fall River Post 314 hopes.
Fall River on Friday completed a tough first half of the American Legion District 9 baseball schedule by beating Seekonk 9-8 on Bryant Oliveira's RBI single with nobody out in the bottom of the seventh inning at Father McCarrick Field.
Fall River (2-8) caught a break in the top of the seventh inning when Seekonk (5-6) scored only once, creating the 8-8 tie. With runners at first and second and two outs, Cody Callahan crunched a ground-rule double to deep left-center. His blast kicked off a light pole and rolled under the fence. Had the ball stayed in play, it was going to be at least a two-run triple.
Winning pitcher Ryan Souza retired Chris Calves on a ground out to end that threat.
In the home half of the seventh, Chris Kenyon led with a towering double to deep left, a ball which Ron Case got a late start on and saw drop behind him near the fence. Oliveira, on fire the last two nights at McCarrick, followed with a sharp single down the left-field line. Fall River manager Norm Yelle, coaching third base, aggressively waved Kenyon home. Case made a strong peg home, but the ball was up the line a bit and Kenyon slid past the sweep tag attempt of catcher Calves.
Oliveira is 6-for-9 the last two nights at Chew Park, and Fall River, with its 11 hits Friday, has 23 hits over those same two games.
"Not exactly the game of the week, but a win's a win's a win," Yelle said. "We're putting it together. We're hitting the ball now. We just kept coming back. We got a few breaks, finally."
The breaks included four walks, three hit batsmen, a two-out throwing error that scored two runs, a two-out balk that gave Post 314 an 8-7 lead in the sixth inning, and the Callahan ground-rule double. Fall River had only three RBIs.
Fall River also made some of its own breaks.
Chris Benevides was 3-for-3 with a double, three runs scored and an RBI. Bryan Archambault was 2-for-2.
Ryan Souza earned the win with three innings of relief. He allowed two hits and three runs, but only one of those runs was earned.
Fall River played quick-response, answering in the bottom of the inning every time Seekonk scored.
After falling behind 2-0 in the top of the first, Post 314 answered with a pair in the bottom of the inning. After Seekonk made it 3-2 in the top of the third, Fall River scored three runs in the bottom of the inning.
Both teams scored twice in the fourth inning, leaving Fall River up 7-5.
Seekonk scored twice in the sixth to tie it, and Fall River went back ahead in the bottom of the inning.
"The defense has stepped it up the last four or five games," Yelle said. "We're starting to put it all together. A one-game winning streak ain't bad.
"The first half's over. We've got 10 games in two weeks. We'll see where it takes us, but I'm expecting much better things the second half."

A vineyard in your own garden, with grapes hanging over the terrace or on the wall, don't we all want that?
It's easier than you think.
Location and Soil
This almost goes without saying, but make sure you plant the grapes in full sunlight. And if necessary (depending on where you live), you should also look for a spot with well-drained soil. The roots of a vine should not stay in water.
Clayey- or humus-rich sandy soil are very good for growing wine grapes, but the best results will be achieved on calcareous soil.
Growing grapes is not as hard as you may first think, but there are a few basics you need to know. First of all, the best time to plant the grapes is usually between September and March. But before you even get started, it is important to make some kind of structure to which you can tie the branches up. There are a lot of structures you can think of and if you plan on making this a big and ongoing hobby you should really investigate this further, but a quick and easy way to get started is by using a wire screen.
The holes should all leave enough room for the roots and you should plant the grape as deep as it was at the nursery (this depends on the type of grape). Plant the grapes at least 7 feet apart and 12 inches from the wall or fence. When you're ready, make sure you gently press the soil around the plant.
Now leave the soil settle for a few weeks before you start binding the main branches.
Choice of Grape, Pruning and Harvesting
The title of this section sounds promising, doesn't it? But the problem is: these are all topics of their own.
We'll probably touch on a few of the topics in the future, but for now we just wanted to show you the basics and let you know it's possible to grow wine yourself. It does require a bit more research and information than we can show you here, but we encourage you to just start and go from there.
Good luck!

What is possibly the most iconic German vehicle hit an even more iconic milestone just a few days back– after 54 years of production, the 1,000,000th Porsche 911 has officially rolled off the production line.
A million balloons and 400 cases of beer were delivered to the factory in Zuffenhausen, not only to celebrate the completion of the millionth iteration, but also to celebrate the nameplate's past 54 years of success and quality.
As stated in the release, "Designed for both the road and track, no other sports car embodies this recipe for success quite like the 911." The performance and style icon that debuted back in '63 has truly evolved into a legendary sports car, continuing to raise the bar while remaining completely sophisticated.
The milestone is marked with the creation of this beautiful Irish Green 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera S. The car was created with the goal of paying tribute to the original– from the unique paint color, the old-school wood, leather, and houndstooth interior, all the way down to the proper manual gearbox.
A Chairman on Porsche's Supervisory Board, Dr. Wolfgang Porsche, has played a part in the 911's development since its inception, "54 years ago, I was able to take my first trips over the Grossglockner High Alpine Road with my father. The feeling of being in a 911 is just as enjoyable now as it was then. That's because the 911 has ensured that the core values of our brand are as visionary today as they were in the first Porsche [in] 1948."
The car is not for sale– but it is heading on a world tour to hit the Nürburgring, the States, then China before it moves on to expand the collection at the Porsche Museum.

Also available on: Xbox 360, PC
Genre: Action RPG
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Publishers: Bethesda Softworks, ZeniMax Media
Age rating: 18+
Release date: October 31, 2008
The subject of doomsday's wake has been dealt with many times before, but rarely as vividly realised as in Bethesda's latest action/role-playing hybrid. Fallout 3 offers a vast post-apocalyptic Washington DC to explore, in which the player is given boundless freedom. Whether it's the choice between vanilla hero or nefarious villain or between joining a tribe or flying solo in this brave new world, the decision is yours alone, and it's this level of interactivity that makes the game a winner.
The story begins with the protagonist's birth in the year 2277. Nuclear war now occupies its own section in the history books, but humanity has endured deep beneath the ground in such constructs as Vault 101, your character's home. Growing up in this subterranean sanctuary, you have lived a sheltered life (literally), experiencing nothing of the irradiated land outside, a wasteland once known as Washington DC. The former U.S. capital - now Capital Wasteland - is now a radioactive hell crawling with giant insects and other hideously mutated lifeforms. You awaken one morning to discover your father (voiced by Liam Neeson) has left the safety of Vault 101 and crossed the post-nuclear landscape without so much as a goodbye. Henceforth, your journey into hell in search of an explanation begins.
After tracking your father to a settlement known as Rivet City, you meet a scientist named Doctor Li, who soon has you entangled in a science vs. government conflict with implications for the whole of humanity (or what's left of it).
Capital Wasteland is a harsh, unforgiving world but thoroughly deep, absorbing and involving. A ruined Washington Monument looms over a devastated landscape blighted by pools of radioactive sludge, desolate shells of buildings and burnt-out cars litter the scene, and a scarred Capitol building lies heavily guarded by arcane figures. Exploring this expansive world can be daunting - not least because it is a chilling interpretation on the future of humanity - but also very rewarding. There is a great emphasis on non-linear exploration, with hidden caves, settlements, disused warehouses and abandoned factories to tour, as well as some fascinating locals to acquaint yourself with. You will encounter disgruntled mutants, a Lord Of The Flies-esque tribe, as well as organisations seen in earlier Fallout games, such as the Brotherhood of Steel, a group of technology-coveting freedom fighters, and the Enclave, the elitist and murderous government remnants. Whether these characters are allies or mortal enemies is entirely up to the player.
Previous Fallout titles are well known for their comedic dialogue and black humour, but here we have a more sombre entry to the series. Bethesda has gone for a deeper concept, a strong script and meaningful inter-character relationships. The humour, however, is still there beneath the game's dark, unsettling tone.
Although the game's world is thoroughly non-linear, progression is dependent on the completion of a series of missions. There aren't as many of these as you might think, but the emphasis is on quality rather than quantity. The story's direction depends on which quests you decide to play, and the choices you make during them. A karma metre measures the morality of your character, moving up or down based on your actions. For instance, helping a hapless orphan find a home or weaning an addict off drugs will see your karma rise, while engaging in cannibalism will see it fall dramatically. Other characters' perception of you is dependent on your karma level. Good-natured characters will avoid you like a bout of radiation sickness if your level is low, while undesirables will seek to join your party.
The consequences of your actions are far-reaching, many of them only coming back to haunt you later in the game. Character interaction is extremely complex, not least because you are moulding your character's own development as you go along. There is a wealth of dialogue choices to select when conversing with other characters and the attributes system - which will be familiar to anyone who has played previous Fallout titles - is an effective and involving way of advancing your character's growth and skill levels.
Gameplay mechanics are much improved this time around. Playing from the third-person perspective feels somewhat awkward, but the first-person view is apt for combat situations despite a few annoying camera quirks. The Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System (VATS) allows the player to freeze time and target foes' body parts to precision. Watching mutants' limbs explode in slow-motion is extremely gratifying, and a headshot result in some of the best in-game fatalities outside of the Mortal Kombat franchise, but be warned, you can only carry out a limited number of VATS commands at any given time, so some real-time combat is unavoidable.
As the game progresses, you build up an impressive arsenal. The sawn-off shotgun delivers some brutal damage and the dissolving effect of the plasma rifle will have you hollering with delight after the first few frags. Ruining a mutant's head with the supersledge is nothing short of horrific, but in the best possible way. While unabashed slaughter is not without its charm, this is far from a mere run-and-gun romp. Every shot you reel off has its repercussions.
Unfortunately for Playstation 3 owners, it would seem the game is technically inferior to its Xbox 360 and PC counterparts. All three versions suffer from a lack of fluidity where animation is concerned, but only the PS3 edition is addled by pixelated edges and underexposed lighting. A number of bugs seem to have slipped through the quality control net too. Characters' features and limbs occasionally disappear and day becoming night often leaves streaks on the screen. The Xbox and PC versions also offer trophy support, a feature not yet included in the PS3 version (but Bethesda assure us it's on the way).
Fallout 3 is one of the most ambitious titles to hit shelves this year, and one impossible not to recommend. Favourable comparisons can be made to Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series where gameplay mechanics are concerned, and BioShock for tonality. The sheer depth of each mission and the almost limitless paths your character can take in post-apocalyptic Washington hiding a thousand dark secrets gives the game plenty of replay value. It may have taken a long time coming but it was worth the wait. This is one of the deepest and absorbing RPGs in recent memory.

Julia Coffman on Developing Effective Public Policy Strategies
2 Comments · Posted by John LaVelle in Advocacy and Policy Change
My name is Julia Coffman and I am Director of the Center for Evaluation Innovation, a nonprofit effort that is building the field of evaluation in hard-to-measure areas such as advocacy, communications, and systems change. I am also a strategy and evaluation consultant to nonprofits and foundations, specializing in advocacy and policy change efforts.
Advocacy to advance public policy can be a powerful way to achieve large-scale and lasting results for individuals and communities. But sometimes a mismatch occurs between public policy goals and the strategies chosen to advance them. For example, we know awareness alone typically doesn't drive policy change, but how many public awareness campaigns have been funded with the expectation that they alone will drive policy? Before specific tactics are chosen, several important decisions must be made.
Hot Tip: Follow these five steps when developing a public policy strategy:
- Choose the public policy goal: Select ambitious goals, but make sure they follow the SMART rules (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely).
- Understand the challenge: Assess where issues of interest currently stand in the policy process, along with why they are stuck.
- Identify which audiences can move the issue: Determine who to engage to address the barriers identified in the last step. Audiences may include the public (specific segments of it), policy influencers (politically-influential individuals or groups), or decision makers.
- Determine how far audiences must move: Assess where audiences currently are in terms of their engagement, as well as how far they need to move in order to achieve policy success. Audiences may be completely unaware that problems exist. Alternatively, they might be aware that problems exist, but do not see them as important enough to warrant action. Or, even if the willingness to act exists, audiences may not have the necessary skills to advocate.
- Establish what it will take to move audiences forward: Identify the strategies and activities that will move audiences and support effective change.
Rad Resource: This visual framework was developed to support steps 3, 4, and 5 above. The framework contains specific types of strategies and activities, organized according to where they fall on two strategic dimensions—the audience targeted (x-axis) and the outcomes desired for those audiences (y-axis). The framework forces the consideration of audiences and outcomes before tactics are chosen.
Rad Resource: Read more about this framework and its application in the 2009 article I wrote with Martha Campbell in The Foundation Review. http://www.innonet.org/client_docs/File/center_pubs/public_policy_grantmaking.pdf

Hola Ricardo! What a pleasure to hear from you again. Thank you so much for your very thoughtful comment in response to my post.
I completely understand and agree with what you are saying about the uncertainty of the public policy arena and the fact that advocacy efforts almost always evolve and change over time (as do their evaluations). What I didn't say next to that first step is that I always advise the advocates or organizations that I work with to be prepared for the fact that their goal may need to shift over time. In fact, we often go through an exercise of thinking through the conditions under which such a shift might need to occur. For example, some advocates want to create "contingency logic models" because they expect certain political or economic shifts to occur (e.g., elections), and they want to be prepared if they do. I've used another exercise called "advocacy premortems," in which we assume the advocacy effort they are planning has failed completely. The advocates then identify all of the risks or things that could go wrong with it so both they and the evaluators know what to look out for in the future. This helps to address the concern about putting blinders on and being prepared for the unexpected.
I still do, however, ask for precise goals upfront because I have seen the danger of doing the opposite. In my experience, being unclear about the policy goal typically means being unclear about the strategy needed to get there. It also leads to the lack of a clear advocacy "ask." And, in my opinion, that can be more counterproductive than trying to develop a goal under uncertain conditions.
Thank you again for your comment, Ricardo. As always, you've made me think.
Warm regards,
Ricardo Wilson-Grau · March 22, 2010 at 1:15 pm
Hola Julia,
I speak as someone who spent some thirteen years working to influence public policy decision-makers as a journalist and then environmental campaigner, and now for the past seven years as an evaluator of the outcomes of public policy advocacy initiatives.
All five steps except the first one resonate with that experience. I do not think that I can remember a case when SMARTly defined goals where the results that actually eneded up being achieved. The arena of public advocacy is rife with complexity – the cause and effect relationships between what you will do and what you will achieve are simply unknown. In fact, defining what you want to achieve so precisely is usually counterproductive, because of the waste time and resources in attempting to predict the unpredicatable, or because of the blinders you set for seeing the unexpected, or the discouragung disappointment of not achieving what is so meticulously planned.
Best wishes,

HTC in disarray: staff departures, 'disastrous' First, and production problems cloud company's future | The Verge
The Verge has learned that HTC's Chief Product Officer, Kouji Kodera, left the company last week. Kodera was responsible for HTC's overall product strategy, which makes the departure especially notable on the heels of the global launch of the make-or-break One.
It's not just Kodera. In the past three-odd months, HTC has lost a number of employees in rapid succession — most recently Jason Gordon, the company's vice president of global communications. Other fresh departures include global retail marketing manager Rebecca Rowland, director of digital marketing John Starkweather, and product strategy manager Eric Lin.

Yes, autumn is well and truly here in our neck of the woods. The cool, crisp air,the colourful leaves adorning the trees and falling as the branches are being swayed by the blustery winds is a pleasure to behold. The "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness" is here to stay!
As the weather gets cooler, those red noses, and numb hands need warming up and hearty, comforting dishes are just the things needed. Autumn brings with it, it's own bounty of natural goodness- squashes, pumpkins, blackberries, figs and so many others, just waiting to be picked up and enjoyed. The other night, a sweet butternut squash was paired with some lamb to make a wonderful pot of stew.
This stew is based on three Hungarian stews; namely Goulash, Pörkölt and Paprikas. These traditional Hungarian stews are considered to be the national dishes of Hungary.
- Pörkölt is a stew with boneless meat, paprika, some vegetables and no potato.
- Goulash is a s a stew with more gravy or a soup (using meat with bones, paprika, caraway, vegetables and potato or different tiny dumplings or pasta simmered along with the meat);
- Paprikás (using only meat, paprika and thick heavy sour cream). (source)
I had heard of goulash but never made it. In fact, when we brought home a wonderful shoulder of lamb, it was well on it's way to a curry or a biryani. It was then when the bulb lit up, and with the weather, a bowl of hearty stew sounded wonderful. Armed with the above information and a little input from each of the above stews, a dish started to form which completely blew us away. The stew was inspired in some way from allthe three stews mentioned above.
I would have loved to have added other vegetables too, but as luck would have it, it was just one of those days when there were not too many choices available in the vegetable crisper. So it was just butternut squash and the lamb that played the starring roles in this dish. And my, oh my! How perfectly they played their parts! The pieces of succulent lamb and sweet butternut squash in the thick tomato based gravy spiced with paprika and cumin along with bay leaves and sprigs of lemon thyme and a hint of heat from chillies. Hmmm, it was heavenly indeed.
Here's how I made it-
What's needed-
500 gms of butternut squash, chopped
1 kg shoulder of lamb, cut into bite sized pieces
2 onions, chopped
4-5 cloves of garlic, chopped
3 bay leaves
3-4 tblsp of oil
1 tblsp of cumin seeds
2 tsp cumin powder
1 tblsp paprika
1 tsp crushed red chillies
1 can of plum tomatoes (400 gms)
3C of stock ( more or less)
2tblsp of soured cream( or double cream)
salt to taste
How to-
- Pre heat the oven at 220 deg C.
- Heat oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds. When the seeds splutter, add the lamb pieces and stir till evenly browned.
- Add the onions and garlic and cook till the oinons soften.
- Add the cumin powder, paprika and crushed red chillies. Stir well.
- Add the tomatoes and bay leaves and stir till the tomatoes break down and are soft and bubbling.
- Add the stock, lemon thyme and check the seasoning . Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
- Transfer to an ovenproof dish, cover and transfer to the middle rack of the oven for about 35-40 minutes or till the lamb is nearly cooked. Add the squash, stir, cover and bake for a another 10-15 minutes or till the squash is tender. Keep an eye to prevent the squash from turning mushy.
- Stir in the cream and return to the oven to heat through for a couple more minutes.
- Serve hot with bread/ pasta or even rice.
This was a chunky , hearty dish, full of bold flavours. Just look at the colour! And how we enjoyed it! Straight from the dish , it went into bowls with these dill and soda bread rolls on the side. All four of us were silent, except for the "yums" and sighs over the dish. A perfect autumnal dish- warm and hearty.
The lamb was cooked just right and the squash held their shape and added it's sweetness. The gravy was sensational. It was a filling meal and I had made quite a generous portion. So, the next day, we looked forward to lunch with the same eagerness and the swooning and sighing began all over again. Probably, never in the history of leftovers have there been so much of swooning and sighing as we did on that afternoon over the bowl of leftover lamb and butternut squash stew!

Solomon Islands
Getting There
From the West - London & Europe
There are many options to get to the Solomon Islands from the UK. Flights stopping over in Singapore, Manilla, Dubai which head over to Brisbane. It is a short three hour flight from Brisbane to Honiara. Some flights go through Port Moresby (Papua New Gunea). On average expect round about £650-800 for return flights.
From the East - USA
There are many carriers that will fly into Brisbane Australia via LA, and Honolulu. Flights normally cost $2000-2300us.
Early History
Indigenous Solomon Islanders have their own origin stories, differing between tribes and islands but commonly indicating that they originated from within the islands rather than arriving from somewhere far away.
The first official European contact was the sighting by Spanish explorer Mendana in 1568. It is said that he named the country Isle de Solomon after the riches of King Solomon and the biblical land of gold. Mendana was followed by missionaries, traders, labour recruiters and colonial administrators from many countries in Europe and Asia.
The British
In 1893, the British declared a protectorate over some of the islands in response to the German annexation of others. By 1900 Germany agreed to cede their interests to Britain and the Solomons came entirely under British rule.
In the early 20th century, several British and Australian companies began large scale coconut plantations on the islands and at around the same period missionaries arrived, converting many Solomon Islanders to Christianity.
A rise in nationalist sentiment following WWII eventually led to the country's independence in 1978.
World War II
World War II and its aftermath had a significant impact on the islands and people. There were heavy losses of life on all sides and names of key battle sites like Bloody Ridge, Red Beach, Skyline Ridge and Henderson Field remain to mark the brutal campaign.
Guadalcanal was invaded by the Japanese in July 1942 and being so close to Australia, the island was viewed as an important stronghold. At dawn on August 7, 1942 the American Navy fired on the island while Marines landed on the beaches. They caught the Japanese completely by surprise and swarmed ashore.
Elsewhere on the islands, the brutal fighting continued. A Japanese tactic was to take advantage of the honeycombed hills and hole up in the caves, pouring machine gun fire over approaching Marines.
After many months of constant combat, the Japanese withdrew completely in early 1943.
Following the war, Honiara was made the capital using infrastructure from the war to assist with its development.
In 1998, tribal rivalries erupted into armed conflict, prompting Australia, New Zealand and other Pacific Island neighbours to step in and negotiate peace and security. Assistance is still given today but with a new focus on community policing and sustainable development.
The many islands that make up the Solomons are grouped into nine regions or provinces. Each region has their own provincial government and their own particular characteristics and customs. Honiara is the capital.
There is a small but growing population in the Solomon Islands of approximately 550,000 people. Solomon Islanders are predominantly Melanesian - about 95% - with smaller Polynesian, Micronesian, Chinese and European communities.

The Barchester ChroniclesDVD - 1982
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
I'll admit that my primary reason for watching this is to see a young Alan Rickman in action. To the series' credit, however, it does a great job of bringing the book to life, staying true to the storyline.
i really really liked this series!
beautiful beautiful music.
acting is funny and superb!
The Barchester Chronicles has many, many pleasures—all of which are the ones we associate with these BBC "Masterpiece Theatre" adaptations of literary classics. Excellent casting (Donald Pleasence and Nigel Hawthorne are particularly good in this one) , literate scripts, faces that we don't often find on the "big screen" and glimpses of the sensibilities of bygone eras. I say "glimpses", only because once we've seen productions like these, many of us (myself included) are not inclined to actually pick up the big, fat tomes that they're based upon. They have now become the "Classics Illustrated" Comic Books for the middlebrow middle-aged. (Myself included). Be that as it may, I am now seeking out those productions of the last thirty years that I somehow missed, for one feels particularly virtuous sitting through these multi-part marathons. (The only downside I can think of is this dashed craving for a continuous cup of tea).

Malaysia U-23 2-1 Vietnam U-23: Tigers book semi-final spot
Malaysia remain on course to defend their SEA Games title after overcoming an awkward Vietnam side by two goals to one.
The Vietnamese team looked dangerous on the counter throughout the half, and their first significant chance came on 12 minutes. Captain Nguyen Van Quyet brought the ball forward and played the ball to Le Van Thang who broke into the box from the left-hand side, however his sidefoot effort across goal was saved well by Tarmizi Roslan in the Malaysia goal.
Roslan did not cover himself in glory in the 28th minute however, as he spilled a routine free-kick from 25 yards from Manh Hung Pham, almost palming it into his own goal. From the resulting corner Vanh Thang rose highest but was unable to steer his header on target.
With Vietnam needing a victory from this fixture, and Malaysia only requiring a draw, it was no surprise to see the reds do much of the attacking and they had two quick fire chances as the first half drew to a close.
Firstly Malaysia captain Irfan Fazail was dispossed, allowing Van Thang to drive forward and unleash a low effort which whistled wide. Less than a minute later and Vu Minh Tuan crossed for Van Thang, Roslan once again flapped at the ball but was let off the hook as Van Thang's his downward header went into the side netting.
On the stroke of half time Malaysia proved that they too possessed a goal threat, as Arasu received the ball in the Vietnam area with his back to the goal, but his spin and subsequent effort went high and wide. With almost the last kick of the half Vietnam talisman Van Thang again broke with pace and had an excellent rising effort on goal, but Roslan was equal to it preserving the 0-0 score at the break.
Into the second half and it was again Vietnam who dominated, with Malaysia defending deeply and scrapping well. On 64 minutes they had yet another opporunity, as Van Quyet chested Dinh Tien Tranh's cross into the direction of an onrushing Van Thang, but Roslan saved his low effort well.
In the 79th minute Vietnam were mere inches away from taking the lead on the evening. Once again it was Van Quyet causing a nuisance of himself, and he burst into the area leaving Saad Shahrul for dead. His low shot-cum-cross across the goalmouth was almost met by Hoang Danh Ngoc, but he could not quite stretch out to steer the ball home.
Just when it seemed that the game would end in a stalemate, Harimau Muda took the lead against the run of play with ten minutes remaining. It was a smart control and finish by Ashri Chuchu who converted a right-wing cross that Vietnam defender Danh Ngoc got caught underneath, lashing the ball past a helpless Buu Ngoc.
With the goal Malaysia grew in confidence and could have made it 2-0 five minutes later, as Arasu flicked on a long ball from the back into the path of Irfan Fazail. The Malaysia captain beat the keeper to the ball but his lobbed effort just went wide of the post.
The feeling that it just wasn't Vietnam's night must have hit them in the 90th minute. Firstly Vietnam's Mac Hong Quan was again denied by the imperious Roslan, before Malaysia swept up the other end and made it 2-0. It was Deandrn Saarvindran who was fed by Fazail, and he cut inside Nguyen Thanh Hien before dispatching clinically.
Vietnam did eventually get on the scoresheet in the 95th minute, as Mac Hong Quan needed two chances to fire past Roslan, but it was too little too late as Malaysia held on for the win which eliminates Vietnam, and sets up a semi-final against Indonesia on Thursday.
