Biological Control of Apple Anthracnose by Paenibacillus polymyxa APEC128, an Antagonistic Rhizobacterium
Kim, Young Soo; Balaraju, Kotnala; Jeon, Yongho;
The present study investigated the suppression of the disease development of anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. acutatum in harvested apples using an antagonistic rhizobacterium Paenibacillus polymyxa APEC128 (APEC128). Out of 30 bacterial isolates from apple rhizosphere screened for antagonistic activity, the most effective strain was APEC128 as inferred from the size of the inhibition zone. This strain showed a greater growth in brain-heart infusion (BHI) broth compared to other growth media. There was a reduction in anthracnose symptoms caused by the two fungal pathogens in harvested apples after their treatment with APEC128 in comparison with non-treated control. This effect is explained by the increased production of protease and amylase by APEC128, which might have inhibited mycelial growth. In apples treated with different APEC128 suspensions, the disease caused by C. gloeosporioides and C. acutatum was greatly suppressed (by 83.6% and 79%, respectively) in treatments with the concentration of
colony forming units (cfu)/ml compared to other lower dosages, suggesting that the suppression of anthracnose development on harvested apples is dose-dependent. These results indicated that APEC128 is one of the promising agents in the biocontrol of apple anthracnose, which might help to increase the shelf-life of apple fruit during the post-harvest period.

- 1 large wholemeal tortilla
- 2 large eggs
- Handful pre-grated cheddar cheese
- 1 tomato
- 2 tbsp salsa
- Preheat the grill to a medium temperature. Place the tortilla on a chopping board ready for stage two. Gently heat a frying pan before cracking in the eggs and scrambling. Time to multi-task: as the eggs cook, finely chop the tomato.
- Add the cooked eggs to the tortilla and top with the cheese, tomato and salsa. Fold, grill for two minutes to crisp up the tortilla, then serve for a big breakfast. If you don't want to restrict yourself you can have this morning, noon or night. In the evening they go well with a dark ale.

Chances are you've already got a favorite street mapping site; and most of those work just fine for common needs, like directions and so forth. But what if you have a mapping project that needs raw map data? Then things get a little more complicated…and expensive. OpenStreetMap has come to life in the style and spirit of the open-source Wiki community. The goal: enable a community of empowered users to build a comprehensive street map database, with the resulting source data also freely available. How does it work? Well, if you just need to grab a quick map simply use the search bar just as you would on any other site. To contribute street data, grab a GPS device and hit the road. After doing a little exploring out in the real world return to OpenStreetMap and upload your 'GPS trace.' It's pretty neat to check in and see the street data steadily expanding, and a fun way to contribute – especially if you're already tooling around with GPS anyway.
As of this writing, supportable export formats include XML, Mapnik, Osmarender Image, and Embeddable HTML.

First full trailer for Priest reveals the vampires of the future
I don't know much about the original Tokyopop series that the PRIEST film is adapting, other than it's a futuristic world where vampires run amok and warrior "priests" hunt them down. We've seen a few pics and clips from the set, but this is the first time we've seen any extended footage, and finally we've got a real trailer on our hands.
I'm split on what I'm seeing here. I think the world that's been created is pretty goddamn cool looking, very BLADERUNNER/AKIRA. The cast is solid as well, as I'm a fan of all those casted here including Cam Gigandet, Paul Bettany, Karl Urban and Maggie Q.
But I'm just so sick of goddamn vampires at this point, I'm pre-disposed to be annoyed with that concept. And when I see that most of the vampires are of the poorly CGI-ed, I AM LEGEND variety, that makes things even worse. Lastly, when I learn that this is the team that brought us LEGION, which also had a great trailer, yet it turned out to be complete shit, I'm highly skeptical they've acquired that much more filmmaking talent in the last year.
How does it look to you?

Gaddafi's wife, 3 children cross into Algeria
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's wife Safia, daughter Aisha, and sons Hannibal and Mohammed arrived in Algeria, state media reported.world Updated: Aug 30, 2011 09:02 IST
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's wife Safia, daughter Aisha, and sons Hannibal and Mohammed arrived in Algeria on Monday, state media reported.
The government has informed the UN and Libyan rebel authorities about their arrival, the official Algeria Press Service (APS) reported.
Gaddafi's family members, including his grandchildren, entered the country around 8.30 am via the Tinalcom border crossing in Illizi province.
Algerian authorities allowed his relatives to enter the country on humanitarian grounds, Xinhua reported quoting the Arabic daily Echorouk.
The Libyan convoy comprising seven cars with 31 people on board waited for 12 hours at the crossing before being authorized to enter Algeria, the paper said.
The health condition of Aisha Gaddafi, who is pregnant in her 9th month, prompted Algeria to let in the convoy, it noted.
Meanwhile, Gaddafi and two of his other sons are reportedly in hiding in the town of Bani Walis south of Tripoli, the Italian news agency ANSA said on Monday, citing "authoritative Libyan diplomatic sources".
Abessalam Jalloud, a former Libyan prime minister who defected to Italy last week, said Gaddafi could be hiding south of Tripoli, according to alarabia.net.
"There are two possibilities: either he is hiding south of Tripoli or he left some time ago," Jalloud told reporters.
The leader of the rebel National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, on Monday cautioned against a let-up in international action against Gaddafi, saying he "still poses a danger, not only for Libya but for the world".
"That is why we are calling for the coalition to continue its support," the alarabia.net quoted Abdel Jalil as saying in Doha at a meeting of chiefs of staff of countries militarily involved in Libya.
Italy is Libya's former colonial ruler and enjoyed close diplomatic and economic ties with Col. Gaddafi's regime before the start of a popular uprising this year. It has since joined the international coalition against Gaddafi's regime.

Using models
The box and sphere primitives are easy to use, however, in most cases, we'd like to use other models for the visualization.
Luxinia is using its own 3D format for displaying objects. You can either use one of the exporter plugins for 3DS Max or Cinema 4D to export a model, or you can use the convertool that we provide to convert a model from a different format.
Step 1: Converting
The hardway: Using the Console
(for the simple way, see here)
The plugins for the 3D editors are fairly easy to use, so I will describe here how to use the converter. First, you will need to download the luxinia tools from the download section and extract it to a path on your HD, i.e.
c:luxtools. As an example model, I will use here a spaceship model. I've exported it to the 3DS format, as it is very likely that any other modeller supports this format.
You can convert the 3DS file by opening cmd.exe (Start→Execute) and change to the directory where the model file is located.
I assume that the target file is located in c:luxtoolsluxf3dt33.3ds
- Change to the directory where the model file is located by typing
cd luxtoolsluxf3dt33.3ds
- convert the file by typing
luxf3d t33.3ds t33.f3d
t33.f3d is created.
The output will look like this:
Luxinia F3D Tool 2.2 ==================== by Christoph 'CrazyButcher' Kubisch Arguments: t33.f3d MODEL: t33.3ds Loading .3ds ... Loading and internal conversion finished MODEL: t33.f3d Writing .f3d ... Writing Meshes mesh: 1 instance: 0,0,0 helpers: 0 MESH:1,W_rfel Parent: 0,MESH material: 2 vertices: 299,indices: 1056,groups: 1 Writing Materials materials: 2 MATERIAL:1,W_rfel shadername: (null) MATERIAL:2,ships/t33.jpg shadername: t33small.tga Writing Skins skins: 0 MODEL: DONE
Create a directory named
modelds in your project directory (where main.lua is located) and copy the file
t33.f3d and the texture named
t33small.tga into that directory.
Step 2: Displaying the modelThis is quite easy. First we need to load the model, then we'll link it with our actor, just like with the primitives we used earlier.
view = UtilFunctions.simplerenderqueue() view.rClear:colorvalue(0.0,0.0,0.0,0) actor = actornode.new("t33",0,10,0) actor:rotdeg(40,-20,40) t33 = model.load "t33.f3d" actor.l3d = l3dmodel.new("t33",t33) actor.l3d:linkinterface(actor)
The result will look like this:

My question is about host a website of my personal use on my server. I think one issue is I'm using a Apple Time Capsule and I have no issues sharing files on my server but setting up my server to do web hosting its saying I need to configure UPnP. I found out that the Time Capsule doesn't support UPnP so I seem to have to get another router and tie that into the network and then I should be able to do, but I want to know if I'm going down the right way or do I have to go a different way.
Try Ubuntu Server or some servers on the Linux side. Though it might prove hard to understand initially, it'll be worth the swap. Linux servers don't have as many vulnerabilities as Windows does.
You can use free software, like unbuntu server, to run a website instead of Windows Home Server.
For personal web server you need a sever computer and leased line internet(must) connection min 10mbps (recommended 100mbps) you need Windows server if Apple will not work and you must keep your computer on so that your website can be viewed anywhere if you turn off your system no will able to access your website, if you cant afford this you can go for shared hosting services
for legal use u have to get a liscecse server
If you do not see the Port Mapping option on your Time Capsule, it means that the Time Capsule is in Bridge Mode, connected to another router. If it is the case, so the router should be configured for UPnP

Taking pictures of the meal you're about to eat has become common occurrence. I've snapped plenty of pictures, either so I can try to recreate it later, crib an idea, or just make someone jealous. China-based Zhu Jingxuan, a student from Donghua University's Fashion & Art Design Institute, has something that could take that quite a few steps further. She's created a proof of concept device that both captures pictures and aromas of food and prints them on a postcard.
The 'food printer' melds camera, a smell extractor and printer. The camera takes the picture of the food – the smell extractor collects the smell – and the printer makes a postcard with aromatic ink. The food printer was created as part of Sony's Student Design Workshop.
In an interview with China Daily Ms. Jingxuan said: "I spent several months designing it. What I completed was just an idea and draft sketch. Without the help of Sony's designers, I could not have made the model."

Microsoft and the Cortana team have noted that users can expect updates to the service every few weeks. Tonight, at least one new change is new to the personal assistant: local events.
For those who do not know, Cortana stores preferences of the user in her 'notebook' and one of those has the label 'Interests.' Interests range from news, weather, travel, sports, finance, and other items that a person may want to have Cortana track. Now under those interests is a new category with the name Events.
Located under the Discover feature, Events comes with the following description: "Get suggestions for local events in a wide variety of categories." Those optional categories include such things as community, dance, music, food and dining, and more. Once enabled Cortana tries to identify happenings around you that may pique your curiosity.
Although adding local events is nothing significant, it does demonstrate how Microsoft can dynamically update Cortana to enable new features with a flick of a switch. Moreover, it reveals Microsoft's plans to make Cortana a very profound personal assistant, with numerous categories added in the future. One such example recently highlighted involves merging Bing, Cortana, and Microsoft's Academic Search for scholars.
Back in June, Microsoft added numerous new enhancements to Cortana, including UI changes, weather icons, more 'chit-chat' and finance support. Later in July, graphs for stocks was added as well.
What categories would you like to see Cortana get next? Let us know below.
Thanks, Sanjeev S., for the tip!


text: Hello BHW! I am pretty new to all of this. I've been playing with various ideas for about 3-4 months. I currently have a website that I am driving traffic to under false pretenses. Basically, what they ended up on my page looking for doesn't exist on the page. This has been resulting in decent CTR in Adsense by people clicking ads hoping to find what they were originally there seeking. However, I have noticed that some people actually send me an email (via "contact us") and ask where the information they were seeking is; this behavior was quite unexpected. Since I know it's illegal to harvest the emails this way (and my hat isn't THAT black...) I was thinking about replying to them with a link to a content locker that, after submitted, would redirect them to a website that actually contains the information they were looking to find. My questions for you fine folks are: Would this work? and what would be a good content locker to look into that allows incentivized traffic? Thanks in advance!

Fewer than half of the first wave of free schools announced by the government last month are likely to open in time for pupils to start next September, according to a leaked civil service assessment.
The analysis says "a minority" of the 16 proposed schools are likely to be in a position to appoint a headteacher by the deadline of December 2010, while a number of the groups are unlikely to have a school site "whether temporary or permanent" by mid-August next year.
The groups proposing to set up free schools have to come up with business plans by mid-December and several are "unlikely to be ready to submit" by this date, the assessment leaked to the Financial Times warns.
Last month the education secretary, Michael Gove, approved 16 projects, provided they deliver satisfactory plans.
Free schools are state funded, but independent of local authorities. The government believes they will deliver higher standards by having flexibility over the curriculum, being able to teach longer hours, and having the freedom to offer teachers better pay.
The groups announced in September include the West London Free School, which plans to have compulsory Latin for pupils aged 11 to 14. Seven of the 16 have faith affiliations; they include a Sikh school in Birmingham and a Hindu school in Leicester, as well as two Jewish schools in London.
In his speech to the Conservative party conference yesterday, Gove said the government had received more than 100 applications to start new schools since the summer.
He said: "Sixteen of those applications are already on course to open and more are poised to follow. No school reform programme in England has ever proceeded at such a pace before."
A source close to Gove said the government was aware of the challenges and was "working to fix them".
In his speech, Gove said there was unused space in more than 100 buildings owned by the Department for Education, and promised that it will be turned over to new schools. This includes Mowden Hall, a disused private school in Darlington. The government is due to publish a consultation paper on allowing office blocks and other commercial or residential property to be used for schools without their having to apply for planning permission.
The shadow schools minister, Vernon Coaker, said: "This is yet more embarrassment for Michael Gove. He told us there would be thousands of these schools, then just hundreds, and now we hear it won't even be the 16 he claimed last month – just a tiny handful.
"He should be focusing on delivering high standards for every school, but instead he is tied up trying to rescue these botched free-market style reforms. They are more and more discredited by the day, and will only ever help a minority at the expense of the rest."

Dublin's Temple Bar performer is currently on tour in the United States promoting his album This is My Home.
Be sure to visit Dublin's Temple Bar when you drop by because I am sure you will hear this distinctive voice playing nightly. Dave Rooney has a voice that can calm an angry soul and inspire tired hearts to hope and love.
The first time I heard the title track 'This is My Home' I am carried away by his bold lyricism and his decision to take the high road-that's going independently , not waiting for some money-eyed record exec to pick his songs up for commercial release. Instrumentally, this album is rich. Backed by seasoned musicians of excellent caliber, the tracks shimmer. You can hear the dobro, fiddle, whistles piano and keyboards, saxophones bass guitars and drums arranged with excellent taste. The album has energetic tracks but are balanced with introspective ones for those who just want to chill out. If you like Chris de Burg, Luka Bloom, Christy Moore and the likes, then this one's for you.
Dave's music has soul and wisdom. Coupled with wit he creates an album that's solid and artfully crafted. Hear him out and I am sure you will never forget him.

State Tuition Waiver (STW)The State Tuition Waiver is available for Soldiers and Airmen attending a "Partners in Education" institution. In order to apply, Soldiers and Airmen download the State Tuition Waiver form, have their Unit Commander sign the letter, and turn the completed document in to the finance office of their school. Most discounts range from 25% to 50% per semester. Click here for the State Tuition Waiver Letter.
Federal Tuition Assistance (FTA) Federal Tuition Assistance (FTA) is a benefit available for Soldiers in the ARNG that may be combined with the State Tuition Assistance (STA) programs. This program is governed by GoArmyEd (www.goarmyed.com). The Education Office can assist Soldiers in setting up their account and applying to Tuition Assistance.
Federal Tuition Assistance Policy after 1 January 2014On 1 January 2014, the Army's FY14 Tuition Assistance (TA) program will change. The new policy will allow Soldiers to use TA after successful completion of their first year of service after graduating from AIT, OCS or BOLC. Soldiers are eligible for up to 16 semester hours per year and they can use TA for a second, higher-level post-bachelor's degree after completion of 10 years of service. The second degree time in service requirement applies to movement from a bachelor's to a master's degree and not from an associate's to a bachelor's degree. Also, the 10-year requirement only applies if Army TA was used to pay for any portion of the undergraduate coursework. After 1 Jan 2014 there may be other changes to the 10 year rule. Those changes will be published immediately upon receipt form HQ Army Education Services.
Soldiers will continue to receive up to $250 per semester hour and the current policy limits of 130 semester hours for completion of a bachelor's degree and up to 39 semester hours for a master's degree remain in effect. Soldiers cannot use TA for a second equivalent degree, i.e., no second bachelor's or master's degree. All courses must be part of an approved degree plan. TA cannot be used for first- professional degrees, e.g., PhD, MD or JD. In addition to DA adverse action flags, we will continue our policy to not allow TA for Soldiers who are flagged for APFT/AWCP. The Army will honor TA requests for payment for Soldiers with approved TA requests by 31 December 2013 whose eligibility for TA will be affected by these policy changes. However, no further TA-funded enrollments will be authorized until they meet the new eligibility requirements. For more up to the minute information contact your Maryland Army National Guard Education Service Center at 410-576-1499. If you have any question contact Mr. Fisher, Education Services Specialist at 410-576-6025.
State Tuition Assistance Reimbursement (STAR)STAR is a program available to MDNG Soldiers and Airmen whose Tuition and Fees are not 100% covered by STW and FTA. Servicemembers can be reimbursed for these costs each semester. Servicemembers are required to turn in the STAR form to the Education Office, signed by their unit commander, along with a copy of their schedule and bill, within 45 days after the start of the semester. No later than 60 days after the end of the semester, servicemembers are required to turn in their grades to the Education office for reimbursement. Please check with the Education office to obtain current reimbursement rates. Click here for the State Tuition Assistance Request (STAR).

Jordan holidays
Feel like adventurers with a visit to Jordan. Marvel at the Rose City of Petra, where Indian Jones was filmed, and where years of ancient history are held within the secrets of the stones. Take to the desert with the family and enjoy the novel experience of sleeping under the stars for a night. Recoup at the Dead Sea to relax before leaving the wonderful locals of Jordan behind.
Over the centuries, Jordan has played an important role in trade and communications between the continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. This 11-day itinerary combines visits to the relics of some of...
We have highlighted the standard of accommodation featured on a tour immediately above the tour itinerary.
In some cases, tours include some departures in one category and some in another: you can see and select the different tour types under 'tour variations'. For these tours, the itinerary is generally the same and just the standard of accommodation varies. However, if there are any variations in the excursions included, these are shown within the itinerary.
Superior: Most Cox & Kings tours fall under this category and are based in 4- or 5-star accommodation, or the best available.
Luxury: These tours will usually feature 5-star de luxe accommodation throughout.
Standard: Simpler in emphasis, these itineraries typically feature 3- and 4-star accommodation throughout.
Discovery: This type of holiday is best suited to the hardier traveller, as it will typically include some quite basic accommodation, possibly longer and rougher road journeys and, in some cases, more arduous activities, such as trekking.

Our wine list features the best that Niagara has to offer including a wonderful selection of ice wines to accompany that special dessert. During the warmer months, a candle lit dinner can be enjoyed on the side verandah which overlooks the gardens as well as North America's oldest golf course.
After dinner, guests are welcome to enjoy a glass of port or ice wine or perhaps a specialty coffee in the adjoining lounge or sit on the verandah to enjoy the evening sky.
The dining room is open seven days a week.* Please see menu's tab for seasonal hours

Chasing The High
Left at the altar. Dumped. Abandoned. Jilted. That only happened in books. Fictional disasters like the kind I wrote. It wasn't supposed to happen to me, Sam Stone. My life was supposed to be orderly. Organized. Perfect.
Life in Reverse
Life keeps moving forward, even when all you want is to turn back.
It all started with a simple phrase. Love Sucks. The moment Vanessa Hilliard walked into the tattoo shop uttering those two words was the day my life began its downward spiral. Or maybe it's the day my life began. My name is Rex Grayson. And this is my story.
Ashton Taylor. Six foot one, Dark hair, chiseled jaw, riveting hazel eyes, and a body cut in all the right places. He's a natural. Things just come easy to him. He's used to getting everything he wants, excelling at everything he does. The grades, the recognition, the beautiful women.
Love Love
Gabrielle Willis is smart. She's funny. And oh yes, she's a bit klutzy. When Gabrielle left sunny California bound for the energy of Manhattan, she was willingly leaving the life she had known for the new life she would create. But was she really leaving something behind or was she running away?
Scarred Beautiful
Francis Heller lives with two truths. Love hurts and beauty is only skin deep. With midnight black hair, moss-colored eyes, and traceable curves, Fran is the picture of beauty and confidence…on the outside. But deep down she is tormented. Not just by the jagged scars that line her body, but by the horrible memories that cloud her mind and haunt her dreams. The ones that make her want to flee from herself and from the devastating pain.
Finding Autumn
My name is Autumn Winters. The truth is, that's the biggest lie I've ever told. My real name is Olivia Redmund. Autumn Winters is the curtain I hide behind. You see, I write bestselling erotic romance novels. But my life is far from erotic. The only fantasy exists in my head.
For the Love of Raindrops
This is a story about a boy who loves a girl…deeply, madly, passionately.


text: Charges laid against Alberta advisor An old-school case of an unlicensed player allegedly doctoring client files to cover losses is highlighting the merits of a one-stop-shop national registration that includes all licensed advisors no matter their specialty. The observation comes on the heels of an OSC announcement this week that its Joint Serious Offences Team has moved to lay two charges under the Criminal Code of Canada against Michael Lee Hughes and Rivertree Financial Services Corporation. The first alleges fraud over $5,000 contrary to section 380 of the code, with the second asserting forged document contrary to section 368. Here's where things get interesting. Although Hughes isn't registered by the OSC to advise or trade in securities, he managed a portfolio for an Ontario resident between 2008 and 2013. That's problem number one. The second fly in the ointment? Hughes lost a bunch of money on behalf of his client. To make matters worse he's alleged to have hidden this fact by forging his client's statements to reflect a much healthier financial picture. Worse still, Hughes and Rivertree are also alleged to have continued charging investment management fees on this healthier, much higher dollar amount, resulting in a double whammy to the unsuspecting client. Hughes, who now lives in Alberta, operates a website that touts Rivertree's slogan, "Making your Financial Needs our #1 Priority." Services offered according to Rivertree's website include tax management, accounting services, financial planning, insurance, and investment management. Hughes' profile says he's a CMA in Alberta; a quick search of the Certified Management Accountants of Alberta directory confirms he is indeed a member. However, a search of the CSA's national registration search shows no record of a Michael Lee Hughes or Rivertree. Financial advisors operating in Canada would be well advised to recommend to potential clients that they first do a search of the CSA registry to provide peace of mind about their advisor's registration status. But the case may also recommend the kind of one-stop-shop national registration Advocis is calling for where all licensed advisors, no matter their specialty, are recorded. Right now the protection provided clients by the big firms doesn't necessarily protect investors across the board. Harley Lockhart, an Advocis director, points out that "the CSA has no authority over life insurance. A life insurance license is required to sell segregated funds. It is possible to legally help clients with investments without being on the CSA list." As this case makes its way through the courts perhaps we'll learn more about how investors can be protected when it comes to licensing, or the lack thereof. SHARE

The World Series was one for the record books. Audiences tuned-in to watch the cursed Chicago Cubs battle the Cleveland Indians in a dramatic series. Down 3 games to 1 in a best of 7 series, the Cubs staved off defeat and won 3 straight to break the curse and become World Champions.
The 108-year championship drought for the Cubs grew into a American myth that resonated with baseball fans and non-fans alike. Throughout the playoffs, people rallied behind the Cubs. Chicago's team bested Cleveland in social engagements in the post-season and in all 7 games of the World Series but 1.
Only after Game 4 when Cleveland took a 3 to 1 lead in the series did the Indians receive more engagements and higher sentiment than the Cubs.
Generally, people have been optimistic about the Cubs' chances to break its championship drought. Average sentiment for the Cubs during the World Series was 79% compared to 74% for the Indians. Sentiment for the Cubs peaked during Game 2 at 86% revealing fans became slightly more apprehensive later in the series.
Massive audiences tuned-in to see if this would be the Cubs' year and the final game did not disappoint. Tied after regulation, an extra inning was required to decide the outcome.
Social sentiment visualizes the dramatic Game 7 with many turning points where the balance shifted. Fowler's leadoff home run gave the Cubs momentum early in the game. A key juncture was when a wild pitch scored 2 runs for Cleveland, however Indians fans remained uneasy as Chicago retained a 2-run lead.
While Cleveland had the lead in terms of positive sentiment during the 9th inning once rain delayed the required extra innings, their fans became worried about what was to come. Cleveland recorded its lowest sentiment at 37% while Chicago fans were more positive in the moment with 55% sentiment.
Ultimately, audiences were left happy, and Cleveland fans were good sports at the conclusion of the World Series. Both teams achieved sentiments above 80% when the game ended.
Many brands sought to take advantage of attentive audiences during the World Series. Chevrolet, Apple, and Taco Bell were the most present TV advertisers during the final series.
Which fans did Taco Bell have the strongest connection to? Our Social Affinity Index reveals that during the postseason people engaging with Taco Bell were nearly 1.4X more likely to engage with the Cleveland Indians while those interested in AT&T, the 5th highest TV advertiser in terms of minutes, were nearly 1.4X more likely to engage with the Chicago Cubs.
Official MLB sponsor Bank of American had a strong connection to both teams. The bank ranked first in terms of social affinity index for the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians.
The 2016 World Series demonstrates the power of story in the way people united around the Chicago Cubs. The thrilling comeback and dramatic finish will become a part of Cubs lore and reminds us of the influence of TV for shared media experiences.
Across 4C we're sharing the moment with everyone from our Chicago headquarters.

5 lessons to learn from Bernie Madoff
Bernie Madoff's incredible $50-billion Ponzi scheme didn't target just the rich and famous. He bilked many middle-class investors out of their life savings, too.
When the 71-year-old swindler was sentenced to 150 years in prison, his victims berated him as a "monster." A "beast." A "nightmare." The federal judge vilified his "extraordinarily evil" fraud.
So what can we learn from this tragedy?
Here are five lessons every investor should take away from Madoff's scam:
Lesson 1. Diversify.
The biggest mistake many of the victims made was to put all of their golden eggs in one fraudulent basket: Madoff's Wall Street firm.
"Although it seems more convenient, it is never a good idea to have all of your money with any one adviser or firm," says Ann Logue, a financial analyst and author of Socially Responsible Investing for Dummies.
"Even assuming that Madoff was legit, he could have had a bad year. Then where would everyone be?"
Lesson 2. Don't rely on recommendations.
Madoff acquired many of his clients through recommendations of his existing investors. Even if your mom or dad or best friend or high school softball coach swears by an investment adviser, be skeptical.
Be especially wary if you need a special introduction to be considered as a client. Or if you're told the adviser only accepts a certain caliber of investor and being allowed to open an account feels like you're joining an exclusive club.
Creating the illusion that you're being offered something that's reserved for a privileged few is common to many frauds, because it's effective at pulling victims through the door.
Lesson 3. If it's too good to be true, it's probably not true.
Madoff claimed to make 10% to 20% a year. Year after year. In good markets and bad.
That's simply not possible. Warren Buffett, considered by many to be the greatest investor of our time, couldn't consistently earn those kinds of returns.
Madoff claimed to be using what traders call a split-stake conversion strategy, which involves buying a basket of stocks that closely correlate to a market index and then using futures contracts to hedge against losses.
Yet, other investment advisers repeatedly asked how Bernie Madoff could make so much more money than anyone else using split-stake conversion and even his own clients repeatedly wondered, "How does he do it?"
Lesson 4. Ask questions. Get answers.
"The interesting thing about the Madoff case is that when people asked questions, he refused to answer them," Logue says. "That should have been a big red flag."
Indeed, Madoff created a cult-like following among his investors by refusing to explain his trading strategy, inferring that it was just too complicated for a lay person to understand and fostering the false aura that he was just smarter than everyone else.
Like many accomplished con artists, Madoff cultivated the notion that even asking about the source of his outsized returns was rude, bordering on disloyal.
When investment advisers tell you to stop worrying and just put your money in their hands, that's exactly when you should worry and take your money out of their hands.
Lesson 5. Have a reputable third party hold your investments, do the trading.
Let your adviser decide what stocks and bonds to hold in your portfolio.
But hire a well-known broker such as Charles Schwab or Fidelity to serve as the custodian for your investments, execute trades and issue statements.
"In the Madoff situation, all of his clients' money was accounted for only by Madoff's firm," says Mike Davis, president of Resource Consulting Group, a Florida financial planning and investment advisory firm.
Investments were held by Madoff's wealth management operation, which was at the heart of the scam, and trades supposedly were handled by Madoff's brokerage.
Clients got as many as 30 or 40 statements a month detailing trades and listing all of the stocks and bonds in their accounts.
They were totally fictitious -- and critical to perpetrating the fraud.

BELLEVILLE, N.J. - July 10, 2013 --Police in New Jersey who responded to a report of domestic violence shot and killed a New York City chef.
The Essex County Prosecutor's Office says Dante Cespedes' wife went to the Belleville Police Department to say her husband was physically assaulting her.
Four officers went to their home to arrest Cespedes and serve the 40-year-old with a temporary restraining order.
The prosecutor's office says Cespedes appeared intoxicated and lunged at the officers with two knives. Three officers opened fire and Cespedes was pronounced dead at the scene Tuesday.
Officials are investigating whether the officers were justified in shooting.
Cespedes worked as a relief chef at New York City's Algonquin Hotel. The hotel's general manager told The Star-Ledger of Newark everyone is shocked and saddened.

Breakfast Made Easy
Hello Darlings, Growing up we've all heard it many times over and over again. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. While the fact never changed only 44% of us actually eat it every day.

With my job some days are spent at numerous locations while others are spent at home. On days when I have meetings or need to visit client offices it's…View Post

Bridging the Global Leadership Gap
New book edited by IESE Dean Jordi Canals
06/03/2013 Barcelona
Globalization is changing the corporate context and the corporate imperative. This has given rise to new and complex challenges for business leaders. Developing leaders with the capabilities to navigate the complex challenges of globalization has become an urgent issue for business schools and corporations alike.
In Leadership Development in a Global World: The Role of Companies and Business Schools, IESE Dean Jordi Canals, along with deans and professors from other top business schools around the world, outlines ways to bring leadership development up to speed with the demands of this new era.
If the 20th century was "the American Century," then the 21st will be "the Global Century," marked by the increasing influence of high-growth economies such as China, India and Brazil, says Nitin Nohria, the dean of Harvard Business School.
New growth markets like these urgently need to develop their local talent with a global mind-set. Moreover, they need to develop global leaders who are capable of managing across cultures and complex and uncertain environments, adds Prof. Canals.

In exchange for a minimum of 18 hours work, WET members receive free entrance to the three-day event, a festival t-shirt, camping and the chance to be a key part of Phish's first festival since 2004.
According to WET's team, "the most important intangible gain for some is how your work can help you get into the elusive music industry. You will be working with and around some industry 'movers and shakers,' and could possibly find yourself with a permanent position in the business down the road (like many WET volunteers have in the past). It will be up to you, the members of our clan, to absorb what you can from the music business-related experiences you will have. You just mind find your music business connections expanding exponentially like some recursive virus."

Keep trying, stay positive and keep striving for your greater. We all face battles and experience feelings of defeat during our life journey….the good news is true champions can always bounce back. When the cares of this world have you feeling shaky don't be disturbed or distracted, get up and fight some more. Don't surrender in defeat or give up at first instinct, you are a fighter. Keep pushing, persistence and perseverance is key. Go again, try again, seek again, it's a must. Behind every locked door there is space and room for you.
Battles can seem painful and endure longer than we'd like but don't run from them. Don't worry or fear, they don't last forever and rest will come. Victory requires effort. Fight to live the life YOU are destined to live. Champions recognize when to fight, when to fight harder and when the battle has been won. Champions don't fight always. Breakthrough, opportunity and access is all around you. Whatever has been taken from you demand it be returned. Prosperity, healing, health, peace, joy, love, whatever it is… persevere and explore new possibilities, room has been made for you. xoxo

CapeTalk/702 Eusebius Mckaiser (standing in for Redi Tlhabi) asked listeners to share their challenges and experiences of navigating the generational gap, and how they relate to their children.
The problem for me as a parent is that I still don't have in my head what black success looks like. My kids don't belong anywhere really. They ingest all the whiteness from school and when they come home they feel they don't belong. They are in this island where they are not black enough in terms of culture and not white enough when they are at school, it is very confusing.— Michelle in Thembisa
I have a biracial-binational daughter who goes to an international school … You have to be incredibly attentive to the cues and basically pull them confrontingly into that reality. It's a constant effort especially linguistically— Pholo, Caller
Listen to the full conversation below:
I think we are becoming more and more lazy parents especially with the new generation. It's not about filling the gap from what the school does but it's you as parent setting the boundaries in terms of what needs to be done.— Sakhile Bryanston
We are a Jewish family and our children go to regular English schools. In spite of that we have strongly enforced what our cultures values are, we follow our holidays and we do what we have to do at home and there is no clash— Ellaine, Caller

|The fifth Doctor, Peri and Erimem.
A Review by Finn Clark 3/3/04
Best. Telos. Novella. Ever. (In my opinion.)
Until now I hadn't been blown away by a Telos novella. I could see the quality in something like Fallen Gods or The Cabinet of Light, but I didn't always connect with them emotionally. 'Twas like being fed a spoonful of the most carefully prepared haute cuisine, but afterwards still being hungry. And then certain other novellas hadn't worked for me at all. However I loved Blood and Hope.
In some senses it's a fairly traditional story, albeit presented in an epistolary form. For starters it's an American Civil War historical written by a Brit, which could have been toe-curling but succeeded beyond all my expectations. Part of it's the TARDIS crew. Historicals have been attempted with several post-Hartnell Doctors by now, but the vulnerability and understated realism of Davison's character works better than most in an authentic setting like this. I suspect the other Doctors are too larger-than-life to fit so comfortably into the template of Doctor Who's early years. Should you wish to test this thesis, check out the novel-length Colin Baker Find Your Fate adventure book set in the same historical period (Doctor Who and the Rebel's Gamble, by William H. Keith, Jr), published by FASA in 1986. It's a worthy attempt, but it's not the same.
Peri and Eminem are perfect, too. Peri is great because she's an ordinary American in a period she knows from her schoolbooks, which may sound like a rather predictable reader hook but actually works like a charm. She's plugged into what's going around her. It has meaning for her. What's more, she knows something about it (but not everything) and so can clue in the reader naturally as she shepherds Embryem through the dangers that beset them.
Ah yes. Elbumen: the Egyptian Pharoah who's apparently travelling with the 5th Doctor in Big Finish audios. This sounded like stunt casting when we all heard about it (having flashbacks to Instruments of Darkness), but it's totally justified. She's slightly Leela-like in her unfamiliarity with the modern world and much more that we'd take for granted, but more fundamentally she's a coloured teenager in the Confederate States in 1865. Simple, yes, but it makes for a powerful story.
Incidentally, this is the first time we've seen Peri travelling with another female companion. Her time in the TARDIS was male-dominated, whether we're talking about her one-off meetings with other companions (Turlough, Jamie), the pseudo-companions of the Colin Baker era (Lieutenant Hugo Lang, Commander Lytton, Herbert George Wells) or her only co-companion before now (Frobisher). Having a female friend rather suits her.
In a sense I'm not fully qualified to comment on this novella. I'm eager to see what American readers make of Blood and Hope, but as an Englishman of little acquaintance with the subject matter I found it convincing and moving. (Well, John Ostrander seems to think so in his foreword and since he's a god upon this earth I couldn't even dream of disagreeing.) The epistolary format is used cleverly, allowing Iain McLaughlin to drop in extracts from Abraham Lincoln's speeches, the Declaration of Independence, South Carolina's statement of secession and more alongside the personal letters from his original characters. In a more conventional narrative this might have felt awkward, but here it really brings the history alive.
The novella also avoids certain traps inherent in its chosen format. In my opinion it's easy to lose one's way with an epistolary novel, waffling on with the most self-indulgent kind of first-person narration. Blood and Hope avoids that, instead giving us meaty letters that have plenty to say and get on with doing so. In my opinion it does so better than many non-Who novels I've read that tried the format. Another danger is the risk of distancing; it's easy for second-hand reportage to remove one from the action and make it harder for the reader to care about the story (as happened for some readers with The Adventuress of Henrietta Street). Again no such problem surfaces here. On the contrary, this narrative has power.
This isn't as experimental a novella as some, but it's a sensitive yet energetic portrayal of a turbulent time. Its use of the 5th Doctor will make you wonder why we haven't had more Davison historicals, while Peri and Elbowem are terrific. This Telos novella is well worth its asking price. Heartily recommended.
A Review by Richard Radcliffe 10/4/04
I have always been fascinated by American history. At college in my late teens we studied far more about American history than my own English history. Since I have rectified that anomaly, and become fascinated by my own land's history - but American history continues to interest and amaze. The Civil War was always curiously neglected in my formal studies though - the teacher no doubt not as interested in it, hard exam questions and all that. Therefore it was only a couple of months ago, after watching the excellent film Cold Mountain, that I felt it was time to fill this information gap in my life. A few books were bought, and the scope of this magnificent and horrific conflict totally engrossed me.
It was only when I received my latest Telos parcel through the post that I remembered that this was about the very subject I had been so interested in lately. I had completely forgotten about this one, and I had got so far behind in my Telos reading, as to see it very much on the horizon. I started a Telos reading programme - and after a few weeks I had read the previous 5 novellas - now it was time for the one I was really looking forward to. To be honest the last few had been rather average too, but I was sure I would love this one.
It features the 5th Doctor, Peri and Erimem. It's written by Erimem's creator Iain McLaughlin. It deposits the TARDIS crew right near the end of the American Civil War conflict, and through a series of letters and historical documents takes us through the trauma and emotion of this historical period.
The novella gives us many characters that are completely wonderful - and top of this list has to be the Doctor, Peri and Erimem. I have never seen such a more sympathetic and human portrayal of the Doctor in print, than this. The 5th Doctor was always the most human - but here he is the most caring and heroic. I've always suspected it - but it is quite glorious to set it so vividly in print.
The companions fare almost as equally as well. Because of Peri's diary entries we gain an insight into her personality more than any other story I can think of. Her character goes beyond the beautiful woman of the TV series, and into the realms of beautiful individual. I always adored Peri - but I always felt her character has suffered as a result of her looks. That is finally put to rest here. Her sisterly relationship with Erimem has brought out the best in her. She works better here with Erimem and the 5th Doctor than she ever has.
Erimem too has now become a great character in her own right. After a few Big Finish audios, she now has transversed the genre into books. I hope some author out there sees fit to bring this TARDIS crew to more books, because they really work well together. They are quickly becoming one of my favourite TARDIS teams.
The rest of the cast of this novella become familiar to us because of their letters. Will Johnson is the main letter writer, to his beloved back home. His letters form the story, with Peri's diary entries. Through them we are shown how the Civil War divided friends, how it destroyed people, and how the pain of war stays with people. His friendship with Paul is lasting and caring. His relationship with Claire is heartfelt and optimistic. The way the Americans looked to Abraham Lincoln is also clear in this book. The admiration of the masses (unless you are a Southerner) is well described and presented.
The book doesn't really take sides in the Civil War, despite its veneration of Lincoln. The emphasis is on American against American, and the tragedy of that. From what I have read about this war, Iain McLaughlin says things as they were - and his facts are spot on, historically, racially and emotionally. Ironic that he's a Scotsman, but then I'm an Englishman fascinated by American history too - interesting history and fantastic stories can be set anywhere and appeal to many.
You can gather from this review that I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated Blood and Hope. I was hoping that Telos would bring us a true classic of Who - Cabinet of Light was close, Blood and Hope achieves it. A totally brilliant, evocative and stunning novella. 10/10
