The Vice-Commander of the DPR Operational Command reported on another flagrant savagery of Ukrainian radicals. According to the Republic's reconnaissance, a human sacrifice was made by the AFU fighters professing Slavic paganism in the so-called 'ATO' zone.
"On July 12, 2017, a group of servicemen of the 57th separate mechanized infantry brigade, formerly part of the nationalist Right Sector movement, professing Slavic paganism, celebrated the ancient Slavic feast "The choice of sacrifice to Perun," said the Vice-Commander.
According to the Old Slavonic canons, the holding of this "holiday" is accompanied by a sacrifice of slaves from among the captured enemies.
"In one of the forest zones in Pervomaiskoye village (near the locality of Avdeyevka) a sanctuary for the pagan god Perun was built and Yevgeny Viktorovich Prokharchuk, born in 1979, was killed as a sacrifice to the god," he said.
What is more, previously the murdered person was listed as missing.

On the price front, all of the major indexes are currently bid below the lower edges of defined 10-Day Price Channels to confirm a short-term negative. Near-term negativity is about to play out and with decision on the larger Intermediate Cycle. While the Dow was last holding marginally above the lower edge of its 10-Week Price Channel, we suspect that "failsafe" level will soon be erased. At the same time, the S&P 500 is about to sink below its weekly Price Channel by default (even if the S&P remains unchanged during the upcoming week) while the NASDAQ Composite and the Value Line index that are both weaker than the S&P 500 and the Dow are already in an Intermediate Cycle negative mode.
Market Overview – What We Think:
- Odds are good uptrend underway since last October 4 is over.
- Question now developing is how far weakness will carry and what will be the implications for larger Major Cycle that has been hovering near "Neutral" for months?
- Since odds are good weakness will soon develop below lower edge of 10-Week Price Channels (1369.70—S&P 500) at statistical support and minor support (1357.38—S&P 500), how quickly market becomes "Oversold" and where prices stabilize will determine severity of decline.
- Given ongoing "reluctance" of the majority of our key indicators to confirm market strength into recent highs, next presumption could be that selling could carry on downside far further than many market practitioners expect.
- Three indicators, MAAD, CPFL, and CV that measure Smart Money bias, sentiment, and the power of buying continue to indicate market underpinnings remain weak and that price action could adjust accordingly.
Near-term price oscillators remain toward "Overbought" levels to suggest ongoing price vulnerability. At the same time, our Daily MAAD Ratio that relies on Most Actives inputs for calculation remains "Oversold." But the problem with "Oversold" in the early stages of an intermediate-term reversal to negative is that negativity is actually a correct assessment of the market's status rather than a suggestion prices are in a zone of opportunity. Since the larger Weekly MAAD Ratio remains near "Neutral" it's possible the larger cycle is reflecting selling pressure while the smaller Daily trend will simply stay "Oversold" while staying negative. In other words, the negative bias of Daily MAAD is currently correct.
Daily S & P 500 Index with Cumulative Volume
Weekly S & P 500 Index with Cumulative Volume
So what's to come?
The Intermediate Cycle uptrend that began the first week of October in the major indexes is probably finished. And the excesses created by that uptrend must be corrected. The "Overbought" conditions must be eliminated and the market must reset in a zone of opportunity. But the problem is the same problem we have been underscoring for months – many of our key indicators have not liked the rally that followed the October lows to the extent they did not confirm it. Only Daily MAAD rallied slightly above its May 2011 highs. The indicator has since fallen back.

Hilarity abounds in this sweet tale of love and romance, in which Charlotte and Elizabeth Richmond are elated by the good fortune of both having acquired a beau. Likewise Thomas and Robert, the best of friends, are utterly smitten by the young sisters, and all seems bright and beautiful and the path ahead strewn with love and romance. But a few sage, or could it be embittered words, from an aged aunt, and the girls are cast into uncertainty and fears of male infidelity. Equally, young Thomas and Richard receive sage, or could it be mischievous advice, thus all the young lovers are cast into a pickle reminiscent of French Farce, and despite the simplicity and predictability of this little tale, it's a giggle read from start to finish!
This isn't a novella that strikes one as period specific, but that really doesn't matter all that much because it is a parody of historical romance, and the "errors" aspect is classic farce. Besides, if one stops to think seriously about Jane Austen's novels, what was Elizabeth Bennet but a caricature of fickle female? And Emma too, a blind romancing matchmaker who couldn't see love staring her in the face!

What a way to end a month and end a quarter! Oil prices as calculated by Reuter's News finished up 3 percent for the quarter and up 12% in September for the biggest monthly gain in 16 months. And let's face it, most of that gain came in the last couple of days. Just another reminder to never fight the Fed. Their promise to provide additional accommodation if needed to support the economic recovery and to return some inflation has over time helped create the environment for the breakout back above $80 a barrel. The day the Fed made that statement back on September 21, oil hit a low of approximately 7281 in the lead contract, a level that has not been seen since. And despite some lower on the day closes oil has averaged up ever since.
Obviously as we ended the month and the quarter the combination of strong data out of China and a drawdown in US inventories and some goldilocks US economic data on the Durable Goods, Chicago Purchasing Managers and Weekly Jobless Claims created a short covering buying mania. Adding more fuel to that fire is China's Purchasing Manufacturer's Index flying to a more than expected to 53.8% in September, up 2.1% points from August. Of course there are those out there that are rolling out even more bullish argument and touting the bullish side of the story.
Goldman Sachs once again is calling for oil to average $100 a barrel next year. Goldman, frustrated last year with their bullish call, now says that oil is undervalued and will soar as the global economy rebounds and the current over supply of oil tightens. Sound familiar? These bullish predictions are based in part on predictions of a 4.3 percent growth rate predicted from the International Monetary Fund. Others believe growth in China, India and Brazil will tighten supply and create supply tightness. That is even without the 100 billion dollars of stimulus that the Chinese pumped into the economy last year.These are the same arguments that we have heard going into this year and the fact is it never materialized to the extent that impacted oil over supply. In fact the bulls predictions of $100 a barrel plus oil as we began 2010 at 8151 never quite happened as oil prices surge to get back to even where we stated the year. Yet whether or not you buy into the bullish demand side of the argument, the bulls have the Fed on their side and Fed with their magic printing press is impossible to fight. And wouldn't you rather switch then fight?

Process, Function and Shape: Neoliberty in the Italian Home
In the mid 1950s a group of young architects from Turin and Milan began to question the dominant trends in architecture and design. Among them Gabetti and Isola, Vittorio Gregotti, Aldo Rossi and Gae Aulenti. It's not a violent reaction but an inspiration, a proposal more than a movement, against the values carried by rationalism and International Style. The importance of history matters and the attention to shape combined with execution, quality, and the importance of a connection with the end user are the new values. This goes beyond a standard and aseptic industrial product and the design of interiors "…similar to the showroom of a furniture shop" which is a total reversal of the sequence: process, function and shape.
Roberto Gabetti and Aimaro Oreglia d'Isola met among the drawing tables at the University of Architecture in Turin. Both men were raised in Turin where they met two 'maestri' who would profoundly mark their beginnings as architects.
Giovanni Muzio was a Milanese architect who opened an architecture office in the 1920s with Gio Ponti and Emilio Lancia . Muzio was the author of the Cà Brutta, the icon of a new classical language in Italy's architecture, and of Palazzo dell'Arte, about the building of the Triennale. He taught his students about modernity by looking back on tradition as a model of balance and Italian authenticity, and how to connect rigorous design to craftsmanship.
The second profound influence on Gabetti and Isola was Torinise architect Carlo Mollino. Mollino embodies a typical Torinese intellectual vision, free from international conventions and proud of an independent cultural identity. As Professor of Interior Design and Decoration, he taught his students a vision of interiors as set design, where every single element participates at the mise-en-scène of a landscape tuned to the client's character.
Gabetti and Isola soon attracted attention with the Borsa Valori and Bottega d'Erasmo buildings in Turin; the latter has been the cause of an international debate leading to the definition, often misunderstood, of Neoliberty. In both projects they use exceptional sensibility and care in both design and creation, from the building itself to the furniture design and details in accordance with the idea of "total decor" similar to the philosophy of Henry van de Velde and the Wiener Werkstätte. Their pieces of furniture, when addressed to private interiors, do not look for an instant effect or easy opulence, but rather a balanced cosiness and refinement in composition and materials.
In February 1968, Interni magazine published an article with the vanity featured in situ, shown in the dressing room designed by Gabetti and Isola. The two architects were responsible for the decoration of the walls, choice of colors, and the design of furniture and lamps. In the article, the architects stress the importance of linking the individual rooms with the interior and exterior, and the introduction of furniture in a modern context that are best suited to their function as in real life.
The vanity, with matching chair originally made for a Bottega d'Erasmo apartment, resided in a corner and communicates directly with the glass door facing the outside. It presents a classical structure, with a square leg section and a front with two side drawers and a central recessed drawer. Three adjustable mirrors are mounted on a tilting rod supported by uprights, which are an extension of the rear legs. The structure is made of padauk wood; the handles, mirror frames and mechanical parts are in brass, and the top is partially covered with linoleum.
The manufacturing of the vanity was entrusted to the Colli Company, a workshop known for its reliability and long tradition, and with whom many well-known architects such as Ponti, Gariboldi and Mollino also collaborated with. The client for this particular commission is also notable; the bathroom was in fact designed for the daughter of the managing director and member of the Fiat board of directors, Enrico Minola.
Based on a historical piece of furniture, the designers concentrate their attention on quality: the construction details, visible joints and finishes all pay attention to the anatomy of contact surfaces, in keeping with practical use. This vanity epitomizes the designers' melding of the fine craftsmanship with the sentimental and cultural aspects of historical design, seen through the filter of a modern, intellectual and practical way of intimate living.
Their careers as designers would not continue for long, ending in 1970 with a design targeting modularity and oriented to industrial production. The Trilogy series produced by Arbo was created from joinable supports and containers, and included, among other forms, a vanity with three mirrors - a direct evolution of the present lot from 1963. This new vision, while different in appearance, illustrates their emphasis on quality of materials and production, which was entrusted to a small company that produces essentially custom-made furniture. It is yet another example of Gabetti and Isola interpreting the best ways to renovate living needs.
For us designing furniture is continuous experience, equal to that of making homes: almost an immediate verification of aspirations, and of research. An experience that we do not consider at all secondary: a way to have links with life.
—Gabetti and Isola

Naseeruddin Shah's Upcoming Pakistan-film to Mock Media
Published: 19th February 2016 11:23 AM | Last Updated: 19th February 2016 11:23 AM | A+A A-
KARACHI: Naseeruddin Shah has been one of those very few actors, who have consistently portrayed their shades of characters both in mainstream masala and parallel movies, depicting realism both nationally and internationally.
The upcoming Paksitani flick will be satirising media's obsession with the ratings, reports the Express Tribune.
Directed by Gaur and Farjad Nabi, the movie titled 'Jeewan Hathi' will be a black comedy, centering the media and manufactured realities.
Unlike the director duo's last venture, 'Zinda Bhaag,' which had a host of newcomers, they have this time taken some of the most famous artists from both sides of the border on board.
Falling under the umbrella of Zeal For Unity, 'Jeewan Haathi' is part of a cultural collaboration, which brings together 12 Pakistani and Indian film-makers, six from each side.
Other than Naseeruddin Shah, this movie has experienced performers like Samiya Mumtaz and Hina Dilpazeer.

Liberal gov't restores mandatory long-form census
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Thursday, November 5, 2015 11:16AM EST
Last Updated Thursday, November 5, 2015 7:59PM EST
The new Liberal government will restore the mandatory long-form census, but it's unclear whether penalties will be enforced for those who refuse to complete it.
Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Navdeep Bains made the announcement in Ottawa Thursday morning.
"As we said throughout the election campaign, we are committed to evidence-based decisions on programs and policies and providing better and more timely services for Canadians," he said.
Bains said the long-form census will once again provide Statistics Canada with "high-quality data" that's needed to determine the needs of Canadian society.
Stephen Harper's Conservative government eliminated the mandatory long-form census in 2010, saying it was intrusive to threaten people with penalties for not answering the long questionnaire. When it was replaced with the shorter, voluntary National Household Survey, the response rate dropped from 94 per cent in 2006, to 68.6 per cent in 2011.
Bains said the government plans to roll out a "robust communications plan" to inform people of their renewed obligations.
"The law is the law," he said.
Thursday's announcement to resurrect the long-form census was applauded by NDP MP Charlie Angus, who said the Liberals' decision will help governments and businesses make more informed decision on behalf of Canadians.
"From the muzzling of scientists to the stifling of Statistics Canada, evidence-based decision-making has been under siege in Ottawa," Angus said in a statement.
"Reinstating the long-form census will help reverse a broken decision-making practice where ideology and willful ignorance trumped reason and fact."
The move to do away with the mandatory long-form census led to the resignation of Statistics Canada's chief Munir Sheikh, and was strongly criticized by many data experts and civil society groups.
On Thursday, some of those groups applauded the Liberals' decision, saying the decision will help ensure the voices of all Canadians can now be heard.
"This is one small step our government can take to ensure that minority voices, such as Canadians with low-incomes, Indigenous peoples, and those living in rural areas and small towns are heard in our national political discussion," Citizens for Public Justice spokesperson Brad Wassink said in a statement.
The president of the Canadian Council on Social Development called the long-form census Canada's "central navigation system" and said its return will be a boon for small rural communities that may have been overlooked in the voluntary survey.
"2011 will always be our little blip," Peggy Taillon told CTV's Power Play. "I call it the 'age of ignorance' where we just don't know as much about ourselves as we needed to know."
Other groups also applauded the decision, including the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) and the Canadian Psychological Association, both of which have been calling for the census' reinstatement.
"Immediate restoration of the mandatory long-form census has been a key recommendation of our union for many years and especially over the past year," PIPSC president Debi Daviau said in statement on Thursday.
"It is a fundamental requirement for a return to evidence-based national policy in Canada. We are delighted the government is fulfilling its pledge to restore the census."
Throughout the election campaign, the Liberals promised to immediately restore the census to its previous form.
But Bains and Social Development Minister Jean-Yves Duclos dodged questions Thursday about penalties that could be imposed on Canadians who refuse to fill out the census.
Bains would only say that the law surrounding the mandatory census has not changed and that the Liberal government wants to focus on "engaging" Canadians in order to get "good, reliable data."

Try and not be sad, angry, disappointed. It's been a great run and all good things end eventually. As this door closes, others are opening. I want you all to come with me through these new doors of opportunities and experience how cool it's going to be. Have faith, be strong. Know I'm eternally yours."
Original article August 12:
After 25 years with "The Bold and the Beautiful" as Ridge Forrester, actor Ronn Moss will be leaving the show, according to Entertainment Weekly. Moss, who is one of the four original cast members on "B&B," didn't provide a statement, but an insider told EW that Moss chose not to renew his contract over a "salary issue." A representative of Bell-Phillip Television said, "Ronn has spent an amazing 25 years with 'B&B'. We will always consider him family, and we wish him only the best in all of his future endeavors."
Moss's final scenes will be taped on Tuesday August 14, with his last episode airing in September.

The aim of this paper is to provide a non-technical summary of a selected number of publicly released and peer-reviewed studies on CO2 distribution infrastructure (networks) as applied to CCS. The primary focus of this paper is on the transport of CO2 by pipeline. Much of the publicly available literature concurs that pipelines will be the most likely option used for transporting a large majority of the gigatonnes of CO2 (GtCO2) that will potentially be required to be captured and stored in the decades to come. This scale of mitigation is considered to be imperative within the context of the global community preserving a carbon budget (the allowable volume of greenhouse gas emissions to be released) that may avoid dangerous levels of climate change.
The paper does not specifically focus on CO2 capture or storage solutions. It recognises however that CO2 will not be transported at scale unless there is a sufficient and reliable source of CO2 as well as sufficient, secure, safe and available long term storage options. These activities will consequently require the establishment of property rights, appropriate regulations governing the long term liability, monitoring, measurement and verification (MMV) of sites, as well as effective compliance regimes across the CCS chain.

(FOX19) - Do you know Lulu? If you're a man, chances are she knows you!
It's a new app that allows women to anonymously rate men, described as the 'Yelp for men'. Lulu lets women rate their male friends, boyfriends and ex's like restaurants.
Lulu app fan Michelle Dao reads, "Nose hair!? It's so mean but I love it."
Here's how it works: Once the app is downloaded, Lulu links to your Facebook profile and pulls in all the men you know, and even some you don't.
Will women believe it? Dao will, "I think this is helpful."
It allows users to rate men via pre-written hashtags, some positive and some negative, including: #RemembersBirthdays #AlwaysPays #DudeCanCook #NoChemistry #OwnsCrocs #SwearsLikeASailor and #ForgotHisWallet.
FOX19 asked the 'Dating Doctor' himself, David Coleman what he thinks about the app.
"Have you ever gone to a movie that got bad reviews, and you went and you loved it? So you're not going to date someone because another woman puts some type of review of him. For all you know, she may not be over her ex," said Coleman.
Coleman says the app isn't valid because the posts are anonymous.
"Always remember that someone had an ulterior motive for what they posted, and if they were in a good relationship, they wouldn't have time to get on Lulu," said Coleman.
Even so, Lulu is getting more and more popular with women, but guys like Chris Grannen hope they don't believe everything they read.
"I would hope people would look past a review," said Grannen.
If males reading this now want to go and download the app and see what women are saying about you... you can't. Lulu is only available for women ages 17 and older. The app verifies that you are a woman of age through your Facebook account.
First launched in February, the app already has more than 200,000 men rated and reviewed.
So... If you're looking to find out the dirt on your next date, there's an app for that.

When we first reviewed Cue Energy, it was the company's exploration prospects that excited us. That has not changed. Off the coast of WA, amongst the largest gas fields in the country, lie Artemis and Caterina; two exploration blocks that could, if they contain the expected volume of gas, transform the company.
Then there's the Cue story's most promising twist; two large oil and gas companies have agreed to pay drilling...

Friday - A beautiful wedding reception in Lehi for my cousin B. Sterling and his darling new wife Quincey. We had a blast! And they served Italian Ice.. ohhhh myyy, delicious! We had a quick dinner with the Giles family at Chili's before and then got to hang out in a beautiful backyard on a windy Summer's evening. It was a fun night and Kailee had so much fun running around with all of my cousins. Plus, its always nice to spend a little extra time with this handsome man I call my Grandpa. And he sure loves Jake! It seems about every time we are together and Jake steps away, Grandpa reminds me how lucky I am to have him and what an incredible guy he is. Makes my heart happy to have his approval!
|Don't mind our wind blown hair! Love this sweet man!
|Grandpa with my cute cousin Melanie who we don't get to see often enough!
Side note- It's really, I mean REALLY weird to have your mom in on the bouquet toss! Lol! She's so cute and she'll make one very lucky man extremely happy some day! (NO rush!)
|My favorite albeit blurry, photo of my favorite people!
Saturday - It was up to help the Black's move into their new residence! Joey and Lindsay bought a beautiful home in Syracuse so we went up to help paint for the day before they moved all of their stuff in. We didn't get to help as much as we would have liked to before it was off on our next venture! It was JoLene's birthday so we had a
Sunday - We started the morning off with a family work out! I have loved doing that this Summer. We get up, eat breakfast and head outside. We do sprints to the end of the street, jump rope, box jump on the big rock, whatever we can think of! Kailee keeps track of our reps with chalk and also gets to run and play with us! We try to make it fun and not stress too much about 'going hard'. She loves it and I hope we're setting a good example! After we all took our showers it was prepping time for dinner. I made calzones, cheese bread and salad to take over to Roger and JoLene's. We don't get a whole lot of one on one time with them so I really enjoyed our day! We played outside and helped pick strawberries and raspberries, and ate more than we saved! :) Kailee loved being the center of attention and I loved being outside with family and playing volleyball with Jake.
|My workout buddy! The cutest one too!
|She is the best at 'box jumps'!
|LOVE her!
|What an awesome evening!
Dad - So many of my favorite memories involve our shared passion of sports and traveling. I am so thankful for you pushing me my entire life to always work hard. Those were two words you said probably more than any other, 'work hard', and they've really stuck with me. Life isn't easy and we have to fight for the things we want. Because of you, I will never give up on my goals and dreams. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to try everything. From dance to sports and everything in between. I will forever cherish our weekends and evenings at the high school with you. I was always so proud of you as a coach. Thanks for all you do for us and for being a good grandpa to Kailee. We love you!
Roger - I don't know many non-blind men who spend afternoons every Summer having water fights with their granddaughter! At least they can see it coming and close their eyes! Instead, you take it straight to the face in stride! ;) Kailee will always remember the time you spend with her. Thanks for never letting your disability stop you from playing with her. From tea parties to water fights, nothing means more to her than having your attention. She loves you! Thank you for raising the man of my dreams, and for raising him to be a MAN. I couldn't ask for more! You accepted and loved me from day one and your support of our marriage and family mean a lot to me. And by the way, I forgive you for asking me to go first to do my 'thankful for' on Thanksgiving a few years ago. You didn't care that I had just met you less than an hour before, or that it was the first time for me in your home and I was so nervous I had to remind myself to breathe. You made me feel like I was a part of it from the get go. It meant and still means the world to me to have your support. We love you!
Happy Father's Day to all of the other wonderful men in our lives! We have such great guys around us! Our grandpas, uncles, brothers, cousins and friends. What upstanding men you are. Your charm, character and selfless love stand out among the best. Your jobs as Father's truly don't get enough credit! And also to another very important father.. Jason, who is Kailee's step dad. We truly couldn't ask for a better other dad for her. Jake and I have so much love and respect for him and all he does for Kailee. From teaching her to ride her bike, to throwing her the ball and all the countless things he does for her daily. But most importantly, for always making her feel safe, comfortable and loved and giving her the beautiful life she deserves. She is SO blessed! Happy Father's Day to you!
Another wonderful weekend full of memories and family! What more could we possibly ask for?!

Symptoms of nasal cavity cancer and paranasal sinus cancer include chronic congestion, recurring infections of the sinuses, headaches and recurring nosebleeds, according to Cancer.net. While many of these symptoms can be caused by noncancerous illnesses and infections, it is important to consult with a physician if symptoms are persistent.
Individuals with nasal cavity cancer or paranasal sinus cancer may also experience symptoms such as facial tingling, ill-fitting dentures, ear pressure and nasal discharge, explains the National Cancer Institute. Tests utilized to detect the cancers include biopsies, physical examinations, X-ray procedures and nasoscopy procedures in which a physician inserts a lighted instrument into the nose and examines the nasal passages.
While there are several types of nasal cavity cancers and paranasal sinus cancers, the most common form of the disease is squamous cell carcinoma, a tumor that develops in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus linings, explains WebMD. Less common types of cancers include melanomas that develop in the skin and sarcomas that develop in the muscles.
Although the specific cause of nasal cavity cancers and paranasal sinus cancer is not known, factors that can put individuals at higher risk for the disease include cigarette smoking, outdoor air pollution and continual exposure to wood dust, according to Macmillan Cancer Support. Treatments for the condition depend on the stage of the cancer and can include chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

It's amazing how words written 500 years ago can have just as much meaning and purpose for us today as it did for the people back then. Martin Luther was a scholar, but he was also an artist, and he cared very deeply about common people like you and me. Luther longed for a peace from the thought that he needed to "earn" his salvation in some way, and he found that peace clearly written in God's Word. From that point on, he wanted everyone to know, especially the common folk, that all are saved by God's grace alone, by faith alone which itself is a gift from God, and this truth is found in God's Word alone in all it's truth and purity. The artist in Luther knew that to get that message out to common people, he needed to speak their language, and one of the best ways to do it would be through music . . . and this idea still holds true today.
CROSS HEART ROSE SKY RING is a journey through Luther's words and works in a modern setting for the common people of today to hear, maybe again, for the first time.
Happy Friday! This week's video is from our album, CROSS HEART ROSE SKY RING.

Taipei City Councilor Vivian Huang was recently commenting on the absurdity of how surveillance cameras on Taipei's streets are filming residences and broadcasting live footage of people's private lives on the Internet, instead of being used to enforce traffic regulations. Huang asks whether the Taipei City Government is really spending hundreds of millions of New Taiwan dollars on surveillance cameras merely to monitor lawmakers and residents?
During a Taipei City Council question-and-answer session on Nov. 12, Huang remonstrated with Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin over the cameras, which she said should be used for monitoring traffic conditions, not residential buildings. She said that cameras were found being pointed directly at her office last week, and that it was not the first time it had happened.
In 2010, when a surveillance camera at the intersection of Chenggong Road and Wende Road in Neihu District was found pointed directly at her office located on the second floor, she notified the police and those in charge of managing the cameras immediately corrected the problem. The police told her that the manufacturers were at fault.
When Huang was browsing the Web site of the Traffic Control Center, under the Traffic Engineering Office, to find out more about the footage filmed by the surveillance camera that was pointed at her office, she discovered that cameras were also monitoring residences and that the footage was being broadcast online 24 hours a day — a serious violation of human rights, she says. Many of the cameras on the site were "temporarily unavailable," which also exemplifies the acute incompetence of the city government, Huang says.
1. remonstrate v.
抗議;告誡 (kang4 yi4; gao4 jie4)
例: The coach remonstrated with the referee over his decision.
2. incompetence n.
無能 (wu2 neng2)
例: Upper management would like to evaluate all employees to get a better understanding of how incompetence is affecting overall performance.
3. intentionally adv.
刻意地 (ke4 yi4 de5)
例: She didn't do it intentionally, so why are you punishing her so severely?
Hau said that a more effective method for managing the surveillance cameras will be established in the future, while Department of Transportation Commissioner Jason Lin says that the cameras were not intentionally pointed at residences. He says that the optic fibers embedded in the cameras had probably shorted the circuits, consequently disrupting the Traffic Control Center's ability to control the cameras remotely and causing the cameras to face the wrong direction. All of the cameras were originally pointed directly at their respective intersections and all malfunctioning cameras have been sent for repairs, Lin says.

April 9, 2014
I sent a 2.5 pound bag of Turkish pistachios to my dad for Father's Day and he received them today on the anniversary of my mother's death. He called me promptly to say he had the nuts and proceeded to tell me all about the various nut sayings printed on the bag. He was so tickled about it. Then he said , "I bet this bag weighs 5 pounds!" I said no it only weighs 2.5 pounds. Not believing me of course he turned the bag over to read the weight and found another little story about the history of the nut company which turned out to be a third generation family business. Turns out my dad is also my boss in a fourth generation business. Dad says, "This nut company has been in business since before I was born." I asked him if he thought the nut business was an easier business than our business. He said probably not and then we both agreed our business was full of nuts. We laughed and I asked him how long he thought it would take him to eat 2.5 pounds of pistachios and he said at least two years. I said at least you won't run out. He said, "I've been thinking about you." And I said I think about you every day Dad. Thank you Jeffrey and family @ Nuts.com for the superior customer service. Hope you won't mind if I use your company as an example to our family business services. Customer service can never be just good enough...it has to be perfect!Miss Priss, Atlanta, GA

'Aunty' Sharon was being the prompter for her amateur dramatics society http://www.hambledonartssociety.org.uk/drama.html for their production of 'The Vicar of Dibley'. She knew how much I wanted to go on the stage and offered to show me around back stage and to meet the cast. Thank you so much to the cast for looking after me and allowing me to join in the fun. It wasn't quite the rock star occasion that Sally had in mind but I was still on a stage!! Another thing can be ticked off my bucket list.

The Art History of Games is a three-day public symposium in which members of the fields of game studies, art history and related areas of cultural studies gather to investigate games as an art form held at SCAD in Savannah.
The symposium opens today and continues until February 6th in the High Museum of Art's Rich Auditorium on the campus of the Woodruff Arts Center, 1280 Peachtree St. N.E., in midtown Atlanta.
There Tale of Tales launches its first iPhone application, Vanitas .
Vanitas is a small virtual wooden box filled with objects that, juxtaposed next to each other, remind the player of their mortality. It's a meditative piece without rules. The only reward given to players is a golden star when three identical objects appear in the box. Zoė Keating added musical ambience on solo cello.
As of today, Vanitas can be purchased in Apple's App Store for $1. A trailer, screenshots, information and credits are available on Tale of Tales's website.
"Despite using contemporary technology, we are artistically inspired mostly by pre-modern art," admit creators Auriea Harvey and Michael Samyn. "In the 16th and 17th centuries, many Dutch and Flemish painters created still lives with symbols that referred to man's mortality. They were named after a famous quotation from the Bible by Ecclesiastes: "Vanitas vanitatum omnia vanitas". Or "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity", implying that everything we do in life is without meaning. Creating a "Vanitas" painting for the iPhone felt like the appropriate response to the commission by Ian Bogost and John Sharp."
Next to Vanitas, two other games were commissioned by the Savannah College of Art and Design and the Georgia Institute of Technology Program in Digital Media. A PC game by Jason Rohrer, entitled Sleep is Death (Geisterfahrer), and a life-size board game by Nathalie Pozzi and Eric Zimmerman, entitled Sixteen Tons.

The launch took place late on Friday evening (UK Time).
Once in orbit, the Astra 2F satellite operated by SES, will be positioned at 28.2 degrees East and join other satellites at that orbital position providing services for Sky and Freesat viewers.
|UK spotbeam. Picture credit: SES
For the past decade, UK spotbeam capacity has been limited, reducing the number of free-to-air ITV regions, for example. Astra 1N has during the past year been temporarily providing UK capacity ahead of the arrival of 2F.
Astra 2F will also have a seperate spotbeam aimed at West Africa, to supply that region with additional capacity, catering for a boom in satellite delivered broadcasts in several West African countries. Internet services will also be available for certain countries from the satellite.
Testing is expected to commence in around two weeks' time, followed by the launch of services by November/December. Some services are expected to migrate from Astra 1N, which was temporarily deployed to serve the UK at 28.2 degrees East, and plug the gap between Astra 2D being decommissioned and Astra 2E and F being launched. Astra 1N will ultimately be moved to serve mainland Europe from operator SES's other orbital position at 19.2 degrees East.
Astra 2E incidentally has not yet been launched. It is expected to launch and enter service next year.

[Important UPDATE!] Fish and Wildlife Convoy Headed South Past Miranda
A convoy of approximately eight Fish and Wildlife vehicles have been spotted headed south on Highway 101. This may be a continuation of the warrants served in January up Sprowl Creek related to water usage.
UPDATE 9:25 a.m.: According to Hollie Hall of Hollie Hall and Associates Watershed Resources Consulting, there is expected to be a sweep of enforcement action this week that address properties in the Indian Creek, Jones Creek and Sprowl Creek areas. Hall who is the water agent for several property owners in the area says her clients have received phone calls from WET (The Watershed Enforcement Team) which is a partnership between California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) with the State Water Resources Control Board. The calls have requested access to her clients' lands for water assessment.
Hall explained, "I act as a liaison for people when I handle their water rights. I am their first point of contact [with the agencies.]…I tend to work with a lot of cannabis farmers..Clients have asked me to accompany them this week."
She says that WET is looking to identify water storage and usage and potential pollutants to waterways. "They've called people in advance," Hall said. Hall, who also sits on the policy team of California Cannabis Voice Humboldt, says that it is important to "not only protect our watershed but also our farmers."
But, she says, farmers need to be properly permitted.
Hall insists that it is important to "have your water use activities permitted. [not doing] that is what is triggering enforcement."
She says, "It is time for people to really make sure that they are using their land in a fish friendly way. They need to depend on stored water to supplement summer needs. They have to have proper Fish and Wildlife exclusion screens on their intakes. They have to manage erosion, prevent soils and sediments from entering the waterways and Keep trash cleaned up and out of the waterways."
In addition, Hall says, "Petroleum and fertilizers have to be stored in secondary containment." She explained that even one bag of fertilizer needs to be in a bucket with a lid or similar container.
Hall points out, "From the sky, it is evident you are using water. There are no secrets. If you haven't filed your permits, [law enforcement has] to come out and visit to figure out what you are doing. Getting into the permit system reduces your liability."

Our final Tailgate Tuesday installment highlights the little treats that will leave a sweet taste in the mouth of even the fiercest fan. As we previously mentioned here and here, all of our tailgate recommendations must meet the following criteria to be considered among theBEST TAILGATE FOOD 1. easy to transport and eat (i.e. no utensils) 2. able to sit out for a long time 3. somewhat healthy 4. yummy
Each of these tastes does that (excepting maybe the healthy) and more, making them standouts that will disappear faster than you can say Down, Set, Hike.
Bacon Wrapped Apricots
find a similar cheese board here
jCb arrived at our tailgate testing with these favorites that she first tried at a gathering of her posse a few years back. Sweet and savory, these little morsels pack a huge punch that even seems almost healthy. Perfect for hanging out on the tailgate table for a long time, your guests are going to love the flavor combo.
- 24 sage leaves
- 24 dried apricots
- 8 slices bacon cut into thirds
- 2T+ maple syrup
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Place one sage leaf on an apricot and wrap them in a cut piece of bacon, securing with a toothpick. Dip in or brush on maple syrup. Place on cookie sheet and repeat with remaining apricots.
- Bake for 5-8 minutes depending on bacon until it is brown.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
- You can assemble in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake or assemble without maple syrup and freeze. If baking from frozen, brush on maple syrup and bake 8-10 minutes at 375°.
- Use top quality bacon or, as used for the picture above, Oscar Meyer thick cut pre-cooked, which will save you a lot of mess!!!
White Chocolate Pretzel Bites
After spotting something similar on Pinterest, Ellen had more
hair-tearing fun figuring out how to recreate these sweet and savory pretzel bites with the two team colors. (How did we ever survive without single colored M&Ms?) It was definitely worth her trouble as our tailgaters couldn't get enough of them. Even better, you can make these color-coordinated bites work for any holiday or other festive (not fancy) occasion.
- round waffle-style pretzels
- M&Ms in your choice of colors and amount equal to number of round pretzels
- white chocolate melting wafers, amount equal to number of round pretzels
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the pretzels on the baking sheet. Top each pretzel with a melting wafer. Bake for 2-3 minutes. As each oven is different, watch closely to be sure wafers don't melt too much. Remove from oven and top with one M&M.
- For testing purposes, I used Ghirardelli Chocolate White Melting Wafers purchased at my local Kroger.
Whiskey Whoopie Pies
The moment that I spotted these in Southern Living, I knew that I was trying them. Football and whiskey will always be linked in my olfactory memory, so how could I resist? For true all-day tailgating, wrap these individually in plastic wrap and pull out of a cooler as needed to refresh your serving tray through your tailgate time.
- Cookies
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ¼ t salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1 t baking soda
- 1½ cups buttermilk
- Filling
- 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 2 T whiskey
- 3½ cups powdered sugar
- ¾ cup toasted chopped pecans
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Beat first 3 ingredients at medium speed with a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and egg yolk; beat just until blended.
- Sift together flour and next 2 ingredients; add to butter mixture by fourths alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Drop batter by level spoonfuls onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets, using a medium-size cookie scoop (Next time I'll use a smaller 1" scoop for more bite-size pies).
- Bake for 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets 5 minutes then move to wire racks to cool completely.
- Prepare Filling: Beat cream cheese and next 2 ingredients at medium speed until smooth. Add powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, beating at low speed just until blended after each addition. Assemble: Turn half of cooled cookies over, flat sides up. Dollop each with about 2 Tbsp. filling, and sprinkle edges with pecans. Top with remaining cookies; press gently to spread filling to edges. Serve immediately.
- Make ahead: place pies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze 8 to 24 hours or until firm. Store in freezer up to 3 weeks. Let stand 1 hour before serving.
Previously Featured Sweet Treats
Looking for something else to take to the tailgate on Saturday? How about
Yes, they were a hit at the Royal Baby Shower, but since then, they have come in handy at other less frou-frou events, as well. So unexpected, they can sit out for a long time as long as you keep them out of the hot sun.
Last week's End of Summer Fruit Cobbler Bars would also work great for a tailgate.
You make them ahead of time, and they taste great at room temperature. Easily transportable in the baking dish, the hint of bourbon flavoring makes them another fitting football food.
Now It's Your Turn
What are your favorite tailgate foods that you think meet the criteria above? We want to know and would love to share them with the rest of the posse. Leave us a comment, and we will spread the word.

Former Liverpool star Alan Kennedy feels that Roy Hodgson let the fans down by going against his promise of starting Fernando Torres in Wednesday night's Europa League clash with FC Utrecht.
Hodgson said prior to the match that the Spaniard would be given plenty of game time in a bid to get him back to full confidence but decided not to play him at all.
And Kennedy feels the 40,000-strong crowd at Anfield, which was made up of a lot of youngsters due to the free entry the club put on, was let down.
The fans were certainly excited when they read in the papers that Roy said Fernando was going to start," he said. "That was in the papers on the day of the game that Fernando would be playing," he said.
"Some of the fans might have been influenced to come to the game because of that and it was a chance to see him play.
"I thought watching the game that the longer it went on, Fernando could have done with coming on.
"Let's be fair to the manager and he wanted to keep faith with the players he had used in the other Europa League games and Ryan Babel has been doing all right up front.
"But, yes, when we need goals, then we all want to see Fernando on the pitch if we are being a little bit selfish."
It's all kicking off again! Click here for the No1 coverage of Liverpool's winter market transfer news.

text: I come from the graffiti world. I started painting the streets when I was a teenager. As years went by, my obsession with tagging became love for calligraphy, I started spending more time indoors, and reduced the time devoted to my vandalizing habits. I spent more time documenting graffiti pieces than making them. Besides the finished pieces, I also started taking pictures of artists in action. Following my desire of capturing and spreading this new artistic movement, one day I was asked to censor the faces of some artists worried about preserving their anonymity in images captured while they were committing acts of vandalism. I started experimenting to find some advanced censoring systems to avoid using the typical pixelisation, which I found completely dull and made all my pictures look like police footage. This search for innovative censoring systems transformed me into a digital plastic surgeon constantly looking for new specimens willing to subject themselves to my photographic experiments.

November saw a good few entries from some lovely people who love to create Nigel Slaters recipes at home and enjoy the inspiration he shares with us through his books and articles online. This round up features a few recipes from 'Eat', which seems to be quite popular, along with several one pot or dish meals, which I just love...after hard day at work you can't beat a one pot meal...so easy and so tasty...and not as much clearing up!
Janice and I would like to thank everyone for joining us in November...here is the round up...don't forget to join in the last month of this challenge by 28th December 2013, where we will pick our favourite...
Until then, grab a cuppa and have a mincer ready and read on for Novembers goodies...and don't forget our Pinterest page that has every recipe made this year so far.
Galina from Chez Maximka was first off the blocks in November with a recipe for roast quinces with vanilla syrup. I am ashamed to admit that I have never cooked with quinces, but if anything could tempt me to try them this would. Galina was given a box by a neighbour and then given more by a friend, she was in quince heaven there for a while!
Next came Claire from Foodie Quine with smoked haddock and lentils dish, this tasty recipe came from 'Eat' (Nigel Slaters latest book), which Claire had received for her *coughs* 21st birthday this year (she's 41 really is Claire but she hides her light under a bushel) and Claire, if you are reading this you don't look a day over 32. Here is the lovely dish in all its glory...whats not to love, whatever your age?
Another Claire and another smoked haddock dish next, from Clairey Fairy's cooking. This recipe from Kitchen Diairies II involves butter beans, cream, mustard and smoked haddock, its baked in the oven and looks divine. I love butter beans, we always had them when I was growing up and its something that is much underrated in the foodie world IMHO. Thanks to Claire for a reminder of how much I love them.
Jane form Onions and Paper gave us another recipe from 'Eat' and a critique of what she thought of Eat as a recipe book, worth a read if you are considering buying this book. This dish Jane made for us was pinto beans, chorizio and tortilla...it looks very tasty Jane...
Charlene made a soup of bacon and celeriac from Kitchen Diaries II in a bit of a deviation from her usual recipe...follow Charlene at No love sincerer if you want to know more...AND...how to make a soup that matches your kitchen worktops...not an easy task but Charlene pulled it off.
We are moving into pudding zone now, and this would be a really great recipe to keep in your repertoire for Christmas as a way of using up leftover panetonne. Stuart from Cakeyboi has taken from Kitchen Diaries II this (Dundee) marmalade and panetonne pudding recipe. Its only missing a vat of custard, don't they have a wee drop of custard with puddings in Scotland Stuart? *tuts*
Next we have a bit of a roasted recipe from Deon at Foodjam. Roasted squash, chorizio and spices baked in the oven for added flavour with double fried egg on the side, its only missing some gorgeous bread for dipping and away you go...finished indeed! This recipe for spicy squash with eggs is from 'Eat' again...
Linzi from Lancashire Food made a really lovely looking baked chicken with tomatoes and olives dish from Kitchen Diaries II (from the August chapter). The original recipe is made with green tomatoes, but Linzi improvised with red ones. This is the type of recipe I think Nigel does best; simple, easy, achievable and tasty and Linzi really has done it justice I am sure you will agree.
From Jo's Kitchen, Jo made a one pan Sunday dinner...this is another recipe from 'Eat' with a few tweeks form Jo and a little advice from Nigel himself on Twitter. Looking at the finished dish it seems that Jo's efforts were worthy of the praise bestowed by Nigel himself...well done Nigel and Jo, a team effort that paid off.
Last is myself and Janice at Farmersgirl Kitchen, who this month and for the first time ever, happened to create the exact same dishes and recipes...from Kitchen Diairies II we have slow cooked or baked sausages...I'll leave it up to you to decide who did the recipe the most justice...*ahem*
I thank you... ;-)

Linda, you have nicely articulated many of my concerns about the proposed
single sex revisions to Title IX. I want to particularly focus on your
"Another troubling aspect of the proposed expansion of single-sex programs
the assertion that the learning styles of boys and girls are so different
that they are better served being separated. Who is looking at successful
co-educational schools to identify the strategies they use to address the
learning styles of individual students, rather than assuming that all boy
all girls have the same learning style?"
Now consider the following quote from George Will in the current issue of
Newsweek (5/27):
"Title IX fanatics start from the dogma - they ignore all that pesky
about different male and female patterns of cognitive abilities, and brain
structure and function - that men and women are identical in abilities and
What I find most interesting (and troubling) is the idea that gender equity
advocates insist on the notion of "no differences" despite the "pesky
evidence" of differences between males and females that are assumed to be
unquestionably established "givens"...presumably research based.
Critics of gender equity have always played "fast and loose" with the
that there are firmly established differences with which we ought not
Such presumptions ground the accusations of gender equity as "social
engineering" and fuel a dogged insistence that certain masculine and
traits (including "learning styles"?) are immutable. They also now appear
provide justification for separate classes and schools at the same time
choose to ignore the solid research on effective teaching in coeducational
settings...or even the pedagogies used in successful single sex settings
are applicable coeducationally.
All that said, as an advocate of Title IX and gender equity efforts, I have
also found it necessary to be more articulate about the issue of gender
differences and the complexity with which they "play out" in school and
learning environments. I have found Eleanor Maccoby's book, "The Two
Growing Up Apart, Coming Together" a wonderful resource in understanding
complexity of gender in the social setting. The perspective on gender
differences in social interaction she provides is helpful in framing an
intentionality regarding gender equity in the coed classroom, particularly
the elementary levels. It also offers a far more sophisticated and
meaningful look at effectively dealing with boys and girls in classrooms
the two dimensional solution to separate boys from girls in order to avoid
distraction and minimize the effects of stereotyping.
It is critical to recognize that we can neither ignore the differences that
boys and girls bring to the school, nor get locked into stereotyped notions
that can drive the expectations for students. The solution, as we know is
not "either/or" or some divisive permutation of a "zero-sum" argument.
I oppose the "smokescreen" of single sex classes or schools and see no
rationale for them, I do believe we need to take a closer look at gender at
the elementary level. As gender equity advocates, for example, we need to
asking deeper questions about why boys are so disproportionately
in special and remedial education, as well as about the reading and writing
gaps. I don't think we can discount the idea that "expectations"
to some of these gender differences in performance. (We certainly haven't
done that when it comes to girls and math/science performance.) However,
these performance concerns about boys are not, as the critics have been
to suggest, the result of a wave of gender equity in support of girls that
has swept over schools nationwide.
An obvious question in this current forum is whether some of these concerns
about boys are Title IX issues? By virtue of some of the rationale for the
single sex revisions, I would be inclined to think they are.
I believe it is also critical to ask if we were not faced with this single
sex proposal, how do we then define gender equity advocacy with respect to
the concerns about boys' performance within the framework of Title IX?
