In-house counsel feeling cost pressures? Show your value.
Here's a summary of my recent "Global In-House" column published in ALM'sCorporate Counsel. In the Global Counsel Leaders Circle's 2017 Benchmark, we uncovered a secret to ensuring your corporate legal function's success. My advice in a nutshell is: Make your performance count. The research confirmed what we've seen for a while now: global corporate in-house teams face continual cost and headcount pressure. Nearly everyone says their job is more demanding and time consuming than a year ago. All that work makes belt tightening more painful. But there is a troubling disconnect between the global corporate legal treadmill you're on and how you measure and promote your value. Cost pressures for all, with more budget cuts outside the US Global in-house leaders responding to the GCLC Benchmark are with large international organizations in diverse industries. Half have in-house pros on the ground in 20 or more countries worldwide. The mix of respondents was: 40% based in North America, 40% in greater Europe (UK included), and the rest in Middle East/Africa and Asia. Given your heavy workloads, operational goals for your global corporate legal functions are not surprising: Save time, move up the value chain, better allocate resources, spend less. I organized the extensive responses into three areas:
- Improve efficiency and performance through IT tools and operations;
- Reorganize the function and reallocate work;
- Control costs, better manage providers and external spend.

Molly to blossom as Rose in Dogfight the Musical
Molly Stewart, winner of both the Sydney Eisteddfod Junior and Senior Singer of the Year in 2015 and 2016 respectively, has recently been cast as Rose in the Arcadians Theatre Groups upcoming production of Dogfight the Musical.
Based in Illawarra, Arcadians Theatre Group has been going strong since the 1960's with some members having gone on to highly successful careers, most notably Australian Opera and Musical Theatre star Anthony Warlow!
This is a big achievement for 17-year-old Molly who aspires to pursue a professional career in the arts after completing her schooling.
Dogfight takes audiences on a romantic and heartbreaking journey and Molly's character of Rose is sure to win over audiences with her gentle nature.
"When we first meet Rose she is awkward and naive, but kind hearted and optimistic. The events that occur in the show allow her to develop into a stronger and braver character" said Molly.
"Audiences can expect a beautiful musical with a confronting but important message".
It has been one year since Molly won the Sydney Eisteddfod Senior Singer of the Year and when looking back she remembers it as a positive and educational experience.
"It was such an honour to win! I really feel it helped me with my development and mindset as a performer."
Sydney Eisteddfod congratulates Molly on this achievement and is so proud to be recognised as a platform for launching the careers of young people.
Dogfight will run from the 10 – 25 November 2017 at the Miner's Lamp Theatre.

After rescheduling our session due to predicted rain (it didn't rain, doesn't that figure?) I met Katie & Mark at their home in Downtown Frederick on a day that ended up being much prettier anyway than our originally scheduled date!
It was a gorgeous 75 degree day (some call that hot. I DO NOT.) Katie & Mark chose to have their session in their town so that we could explore some places that they love to visit together, and I loved how personal it was for them! (Selfishly, it's also the CUTEST town, so I loved that too)! They were laid back, easy going, and fun to be with.
These two met quite some time ago but reconnected again recently and fell in love. Katie told me during our session that she had not a doubt in her mind about spending the rest of her life with Mark and I think they are SO ready to get married! Which is good, because their wedding is this Saturday!
These two will tie the know at the Corradetti, a gorgeous glass blowing studio in Baltimore and I. cannot. wait. to kick off this busy Spring wedding season with these two!
Here's a look at some of my favorites! Enjoy.

The Best Summer Wines For Sipping Back With Your SO & Your Friends
Time to Wine Down: A Few of My Favorite Wines for Summer 2018
It's no secret that I love wine. I always say that if I weren't in the industry I am in now, I would absolutely be in the wine industry. Friends and colleagues often ask me for recommendations on wines. I'm very honored to have been asked to create a post on my favorite wines and some sleeper hits that you never would have tried. All of my favorites this year are rated 88 points and higher on Wine Enthusiast and range between $15-$50.
Summertime is synonymous with rosé. Sales have increased exponentially in the past three years, and there are many different rosés out there that are wonderful. I prefer one that is less metallic in taste and the perfect balance of juicy and dry.
Whispering Angel has become a beloved rosé in the region. You can find it at many local restaurants. It's a lighter, juicier rosé that has a great finish.
My favorite, however, is definitely Heitz Grignolino Rosé. Largely noted with grapefruit, watermelon, Wine Enthusiast Top 100 ranked it #15 in 2017. The color is much deeper than your typical rosé, but the taste is magnificent and the price point reasonable, under $28. (Not like its sister Cabernet Sauvignon, which is one of my favorite reds but a little higher in price.)
You can't beat a cool, crisp white in the summer months if you are not keen on beer or spirits. There are two white wines that stand out to me and don't leave an aftertaste that is unpleasant.
Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc is a delicious white that is always ranked between 88-90 points on Wine Enthusiast. Its price point is a tad higher than your Santa Margarita's at $26-$30, but the delta is way worth it. It's a perfect balance of citrus and melon and doesn't leave a sweet, tangy aftertaste.
Tornatore Etna Bianco is one of my favorite Italian whites. When chilled to perfection, you will enjoy an apple and melon taste but with a ginger finish. Unlike many of the Italian whites I have tasted, this wine doesn't make me feel I am drinking a white, as the complexities of the flavors are so synergistic of one another.
Malbec is a great introduction to red wine, as it is easy to drink with all of its fruity flavors. It is also not as heavy on the pallet as Cab. Malbec easily pairs with a variety of your favorite summer amuse-bouches!
Alma Negra M-Blend is by far the best Malbec in my opinion. Recommended to me by a local wine enthusiast back in 2013, its stole-the-show taste is full of black and blue fruits and has an earthy finish. Its label is pretty unique and mysterious as well. Definitely a stand out Malbec blend that is under $20. (Serve chilled.)
Cabernet Sauvignon
This is by far my favorite category of wines and what I drink. I am a huge fan of California Cabernets, even in the summer months. I chill my Cabernets, as they should never be consumed at room temperature. A Cabernet Sauvignon should never be enjoyed at a temperature that exceeds 60 degrees. Personally, I notice the flavors of the wine more when it is served at 55 degrees. I must say I have a few favorites in this department - it was hard to narrow it down!
Best "Every Day" Cabernet:
Sebastiani Cabernet from Sonoma County is by far the best in this category for a wine that is under $15 per bottle. Never ranked under 87 points, this wine never ceases to amaze me with the full bodied taste of a high end red at such an affordable price point. I call this an "every day" drinker because it doesn't break the bank and drinks like a heavy hitter. Very underrated wine and a bit difficult to find but the right places have it at a price that's hard to beat with the quality of this grape.
Best "Celebratory" Cabernet:
If you're looking to spend a little money on a bottle of wine for a celebratory occasion, I would absolutely recommend Faust Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine never disappoints and it's not your typical wine you see everyone drinking. Filled with black cherry, cassis and chocolate, this is a heavy hitter (as I like to call them!) and a great wine to share and celebrate with. Always around 88 points, this is a wine that a connoisseur would consume. It's a little pricey at $50 a bottle retail, so definitely not an every day drinker but you will not be disappointed.
Best "Sleeper" Cabernet:
I call this a sleeper because you don't find it everywhere. We stumbled upon it at a wine shop in Seekonk, MA and absolutely fell in love. Long Meadow Ranch is by far one of the big hits for me this season. The 2014 Long Meadow Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is rich in plum and oak and has a finish like a bottle of wine that exceeds $200. Like I said, it's hard to find, so if you see it, it's definitely worth the $42 investment!

Flannel Fierce
When I am at school in Bellingham, or home near Seattle, I love to dress in a way that makes sense. When walking in and out of little shops or going to get breakfast with friends it doesn't require to be very dressed up, since it is a college town. I love this outfit because it's casual but still has elements that make it interesting. This crewneck from Triple Thread (Instagram: @triplethreadoc) is so soft and cozy and I love the tiger printed on the front because it adds texture and design to a plain grey sweatshirt. Instead of wearing a flannel, try wrapping it around your waist and adding a necklace that pulls from colors in the flannel. Also, find similar ripped jeans here for half normal price!
Triple Thread is a clothing store that sells only on Instagram. They have so many amazing basic tanktops, dresses, crewnecks, and clothes that are affordable and cute. Check them out!

HARTFORD -- With the state in a financial crisis, Joseph DeLong, a leading advocate for the state's city's and towns, joins The Stan Simpson show for a two-part segment to discuss the state's current budget crisis.
The latest estimates of the current budget crisis projects a $5 billion deficit over the next two years. Everything, it seems now, is on the table.
Governor Dannel Malloy has presented his budget proposal. The Democrats and Republicans have countered with theirs.
Both House and Senate Republicans have proposed roughly $260 million more in labor savings to help cover next fiscal year's projected deficit, which has grown from $1.7 billion to $2.3 billion. Malloy said Wednesday it is 'unrealistic' to expect additional concessions beyond the $700 million.
Democratic legislative leaders are proposing to legalize the retail sale of marijuana, authorize at least one new casino and "pave the way for tolls in Connecticut" as ways to balance the state's deficit-plagued budget for the next two fiscal years.

Classic Baked Beans
2 photos of Classic Baked Beans Recipe
Angela (Grammy) Derby
This dish is good enough to just dive in and eat your way out. Okay, I have to concede, it's too hot for that today, but if you like Baked Beans, you're gonna love these. And they use canned pork and beans!!! Yay!
6 slicebacon, cooked crispy and halved or coarsely crumbled
1/2 conion, minced
1/4 cbell pepper, minced (optional)
3 28oz can(s)cans of pork and beans (we like bush's)
2 tspdry mustard or 1 tablespoon dijon
1/2 cbrown sugar
3 Tbspmolasses
1/2 cketchup or your favorite bbq sauce
1/8 tspgarlic powder
How to Make Classic Baked Beans
- Preheat oven to 325'F.
- Fry bacon in large, deep sauté pan until bacon has partially cooked and released about 3-4 tablespoons of drippings. Remove bacon from pan and drain on paper towels.
- Add onions and pepper to drippings in pan and sauté until tender, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add beans and remaining ingredients, except bacon; bring to a simmer. Pour into a greased 3 quart baking dish. Top with bacon.
- Bake, uncovered, until beans are bubbly and sauce is the consistency of pancake syrup, about 2 hours. Let stand to thicken slightly and serve.
- *SLOW COOKER TIP: If it's too hot to turn your oven on (like today), you can make these in the slow cooker! Just pour the mixture into your crockpot (I always line mine with the Slow Cooker Liners for easy clean up.) Cover and cook on low heat setting 4 to 5 hours (or high heat setting 2 1/2 to 3 hours) or until desired consistency.

It's been a hectic few weeks here at Wynlen House. Not only with the increased farm activity associated with Spring, but also because we have been involved in a couple of very special events. The first was a visit to our small farm by Culinary Director Chef Sean Connolly and from The Morrison Bar & Oyster Room in Sydney. Our small farm was chosen as a destination as part of a The Morrison's Oyster Experience competition. The winners headed to the South Coast to visit the Bay Rock Oyster Farm and Wynlen House.
The second special event was our participation in the Queanbeyan/Palerang annual Arts Trail. Being privileged to have sculptor and rejenerative farmer Victoria Royd's work on display. Victoria has worked as a contemporary jeweller, & public artist (sculpture and installation). Her artwork focuses on the human condition particularly issues of female identity in western culture.
Victoria returned to Braidwood in 2008 to manage the family farming business. She is passionate about Regenerative Agriculture with an emphasis on Soil health to produce nutrient dense food. Victoria feels privileged to be an Artist and Regenerative Farmer. She believes that these two occupations are similar in many ways in that they both are creative processes; require problem solving and they can both bring healing to mind, body, soul and to mother earth. This is probably the driving force.... wanting to create a healthy environment, to heal ourselves and the planet. In 2011 Victoria won the National Carbon Cocky Encouragement Award. She has an Angus breeding herd and the farm also is producing garlic with 90% of the crop being cold season cultivars such Duganski, and Spanish Roja which is a Creole group garlic. Victoria's work will remain on display for Braidwood Open Garden weekend and Aring of the Quilts on 25th and 26th November.
This week we are having a short break from the farm heading to Albury for the NSW Landcare Awards presentation night and then to Bathurst for the weekend where we are speaking at the Rahamim Ecology Centre.
Finally an update on the farm. The long awaited arrival of the goslings is not happening. Unfortunately after sitting for over 40 days I finally had to remove the eggs from our determined female geese only to find, very disappointingly, that none of the eggs were fertile. Now we have a dilemma. We have a very handsome gander with 2 wives (they mate for life) who is either too large for successful mating or has lost his potency so to speak. We are not sure how to proceed from here. Hopefully our short break away will provide some perspective on this matter.
To much to Do
Apologies. No time to write this week. Life is getting hectic on the farm. Will post again next week
PS if you would like to comment or write back, click on the blue "Comment" at the top of the post and a separate screen should come up where you can have a say.
Have a good week.
October 10th, 2017
;It is a busy time on the farm and in the market garden at this time of year. The weather warms up the days get longer (especially with daylight saving) and there seems to be so much to do. Much of this activity is focused in the garden. Today for example, we removed all the frost protection covers; weeded, weeded and then even more weeding; planted broccoli, leeks, lettuces and radicchio; pumped water from our neighbours tanks as he doesn't use it; and sprayed the entire garden with "eco oil and a touch of pyrethrum to keep the plague proportions of aphids in check. At this time of year when the weather warms up and it is very dry, aphids are a major problem. They build up very quickly across the garden and start causing damage before their is enough time for the beneficial insects to be attracted to the garden.
Apart from the garden activity, there is also a lot happening with the animals. There are the two geese sitting on eggs and the gander is alternating between forlorn, loneliness and the aggressive protector. Every so often there is a cacophony of alarm honks as a chooks or a duck wanders near the nest. Speaking of ducks, our three girls, have taken to wandering the street as the drains are still offering some nice green grass. Then of course there are the turkeys. They are growing rapidly and today we moved them to some new grass. Amid all this activity there was a long roar of sound as our bees swarmed. Just another interesting day on the farm.
A note of caution to end on. With the warm weather it is very tempting to plant out the summer vegies, tomatoes, peppers, pumpkin, beans and so on, but there is still some cold nights and frost around. On Saturday morning we had a light frost forming a thin layer of ice on the water bowls. While the temperature did not drop much below zero, it is enough to kill or severely damage summer plantings . Be patient, in our cold climate it is better to wait until November for summer planting.

|Cloudscape.Monotype. 12 x 12
A print studio has a unique atmosphere. Artists stand at various tables, applying and removing ink from plates. The sound of brayers rolling through buttery ink is in the air, along with the smells of the oil-based ink and modifiers. Now and again you can hear the sound of the press bed moving between rollers, the sound of the turning crank, the sound of the lift as the print is pulled. Not many people are talking. We may be a group, but we are obviously individuals, each person follows the siren songs only s/he can hear.
I wanted to play with the idea of edges in this print. What happens at the edge where land and sky meet? How can I describe the soft edges where sky and clouds meet? How can I hold interest when more edges are soft than hard?
You see the result. Ink on. Ink wiped off. More ink on. Ink manipulated with rags and hands and paper. More ink on. Print pulled after it goes through the press.
The final result reminds me of Satie. Space to think and wonder with an undertone of melancholy.

This spicy Thai grapefruit salad is bright and zesty with complimentary flavors. It's a real showpiece for a dinner party! Punch it up with some rice noodles for a vegetarian main course or add in some ahi tuna to make a delicious poke bowl.
I wanted a salad that reflected my mood this week and this is a glorious one! This is my ode to the greens, pinks, and yellows that are popping up everywhere. It's absolutely gorgeous in Evanston right now - spring is in full bloom and the trees, tulips, and daffodils are stunning. My little hydrangeas are growing and I planted a peony and some astilbes yesterday. Living in Qatar for so many years I forgot about spring. It gets kind of hot there this time of year and it feels a lot more like summer. When I lived in Jordan, I loved the spring rains that carpeted the rocky terrain in wild flowers, but nothing compares to the green, green, green of the Midwest. It's hard-earned though. This winter seemed like it might never end (Seasonal Affective Disorder is real, people!) But, I'm living in the moment and relishing every chance to be outside.
I know many of you are probably experiencing the same natural beauty, but wherever you are, I'm happy to share this recipe that I know will brighten your day.
Spicy Thai Grapefruit Salad
This brightly flavored salad has sharp, complimentary flavors - a real showpiece for a dinner party!
- 4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar (the finer the better)
- 1 tablespoon orange blossom water
- 2 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1-inch fresh ginger, peeled and cut into very thin strips
- 1 red chili, deseeded and cut into thin strips
- 2 large grapefruit, peeled and cut into small pieces
- 1 mango, diced
- 2 cups watercress
- 2 teaspoons peanut oil
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 2 teaspoons black or white sesame seeds (or both!)
- 1/4 cup roasted peanuts
- pinch of salt
- Combine the sugar and vinegar in a large bowl. Whisk till combined and the sugar is mostly dissolved.
- Add the orange blossom water, star anise, cinnamon stick, ginger, and chili to the bowl and stir to combine.
- Then add the grapefruit to the vinegar mixture and stir gently to combine. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Remove the star anise and cinnamon stick. Drain the grapefruit, reserving 2 tablespoons of the liquid.
- Toss the grapefruit with the watercress, mango, peanut oil, and lime juice. Place on a large serving plate.
- Top the salad with the reserved marinade, shallot, sesame seeds, peanuts, and salt.
This recipe was inspired by Ottolenghi's glorious Pomelo Salad from his book Plenty More.

Nature Ice Trays
"Enjoyment is a catalyst for owning what one is learning."
- Sally Clarkson, The Lifegiving Home
We are big fans of Wild + Free in this house, and in February's BELOVED bundle was a fun article by Tara Rondinelli about winter nature activities. Ice sensory trays in particular caught my eye as both easy and enjoyable (I had all the materials!) so on a recent surprise of a warm day we went on a nature walk - basket in hand and littles in tow - to gather some bits and bobbles for our excavating. Seed pods. Baby pine cones. Leaves of every sort. Everything interesting went into the basket for the big freeze.
We wandered home, got out bread pans and gently laid our finds. Alice poured the water and I placed them in the freezer.
The next morning a fresh coat of snow and ice blanketed the world! We rejoiced over having foraged the day before. After laying down a drop cloth, I ran warm water over the bottom of the glass pan to release our ice block and place it in a bigger pan. The littles got warm water in a jar and the aspirator bulb from their doctor kit and went to town slowly applying water in the places they wanted to "dig out." So much fun! And so much patience. They refilled their jar many times to get everything out.
After their newly thawed - and now soggy - flora were released, they marveled again and cleaned up, composting our gatherings from the day before. No mess. No waste. Just lots of fun and wonder.
Thank you, Wild + Free, for the great ideas and continuing to inspire our life of learning!

By-elections to be held next month/
By-elections to fill vacant or appointed positions on the Brandon University Students' Union (BUSU) will be held next month. This decision was made after a heated discussion following an email sent out on August 27th by BUSU President, Stephanie Bachewich, which informed council that they would not be having by-elections, so appointed council members would remain in their positions with no elections until April 30th, 2014.
Bachewich's decision sparked heated debate among council members. Manuel Godoy, Racialised Commissioner, stated that it was "not up to the Executive to make the decision not to have a by-election" but that it was in council's purview. Matthew May, BUSU Vice-President Internal said that students should be elected by their constituency, and that for council to make a decision about who they think is best to present students is "unilateral". He said he believed it was "deplorable" to cancel the by-elections and hope that students just didn't notice. However, some commissioners spoke against by-elections. Megan Johnston, BUSU's Health Studies Commissioner, said she believed that having a by-election would be "a waste of BUSU money", because she doesn't believe that students will run or that they care enough to vote.
Bachewich explained that she had sent the email after an unnamed appointed student had asked for the specific bylaw stating that they had to run for their position after appointment in a by-election. After reading through BUSU's bylaws with a University staff member, Bachewich says she believed that there was no requirement to have by-elections for BUSU commissioners, student Senate representatives, Quill Board Members, SUDS Board Members, and Knowles-Douglas Building (KDC) Board Members.
BUSU Bylaw 1020, Nomination Vacancies section, says that, "if the position is for Community or Faculty Representative, it shall be vacant until the process described in Bylaw 3350 can be followed". Bachewich says she interpreted 'Community Representative' to mean Senate or Quill, SUDS, or KDC Board representatives, whereas other councillors believe this only refers to commissioners who aren't faculty representatives (for example Women's Commissioner, International Commissioner, Part Time/Mature Students Commissioner, etc.)
The Quill, SUDS, KDC, and the Brandon University Senate are autonomous from BUSU, so the question remains whether BUSU's bylaws should preclude these organizations from having by-elections if they so choose. None of these organizations were consulted before the decision was made to not have by-elections.
A motion to have a by-election was moved by Mike Urichuk, Education Commissioner, and seconded by Cameron Flamand, Residence Commissioner. The by-election will take place during the already-scheduled nomination period.
Following last March's contentious elections, it is obvious that BUSU needs to completely revamp their by-laws and policies. As part of the Work Study Program, a joint venture between Brandon University and BUSU, BUSU was given Work Study funding to hire a student to rewrite their bylaws and policies so BUSU could recommend changes at their next AGM. When asked about the status of this project, Bachewich explained that a formal report had not been done, but that the student researched what other student unions had and made recommendations about bylaw and policy models for the future. When asked whether there would be a General Meeting for students to make changes to specifically the election by-laws before the upcoming by-election, Bachewich said that council has not discussed it. According to BUSU's by-laws, AGMs must be scheduled with at least three weeks notice given to students.

This post will be short and sweet because I have a "to do" list and need to get to it, but there's always time for a little blogging.
It's the day before we're hosting our annual 4th of July party and as usual we're running around like chickens with our heads cut off because we have so much to do! On Ian's "to do" list there is laying landscaping rock around the lanai, mowing the lawn and cleaning the patio. On my "to do" list there is grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning. Both of our "to do" lists are a mile long and we have a little more than 24-hours to get everything finished. There's nothing like waiting until the last minute... or is there?
I hate waiting until the last minute. I am a planner and I have a difficult time getting along with people who like to fly by the seat of their pants. And don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with people who are more laid back than I am. I am laid back when I need to be and rigid when I want to be. Even though I am a planner, I am also a people pleaser so I have the ability to compromise. I enjoy making people happy and if I can plan for that, well then, that's just great! It just brings me a great deal of joy to have things planned out ahead of time and see that plan executed step by step.
So far this morning, the flower beds in the front yard have been mulched, the pasta salad has been made and the landscaping rocks have been delivered. Our "to do" lists are in the midst of being "all finished" lists and I cannot wait. There's nothing better than finishing a "to do" list, except maybe a glass of wine after a "to do" list is finished. Yum.
I'd better get back to it... before it begins to rain again.
Love always,
Ian, Kim & Bella

A little bit about us..
The Letter Garden opened as an embroidery shop with Etsy in 2012. After growing a customer base and adding a couple of commercial machines our next step was to add a brick and mortar store in Canyon Lake, Texas, a town next to our current location. We had (and still have) wonderful customers there that mean the world to us. Our amazing team ran out of space with lots of new machines and ways to monogram and personalize our products and decided to dedicate our time to online sales. We spend a LOT of time engraving, sublimating, foil printing, embroidering as well as several other embellishing methods, and thought it would be best to use all of our time
instead of managing a store. We closed up our brick and mortar store and built a facility on our land in Fischer, Texas with much more room to work efficiently and adequately house all of our machines. We still have the Etsy shop and would love for you to visit us there and see our products and reviews.
Here is the address: etsy.com/shop/thelettergardenshop
The Letter Garden is our passion and we are proud of the work we do. We care about every item we make and ship and it means so much to us to take care of our customers!
Your wedding is important to us!! We hope you give us a try and let us create beautiful personalized gifts and favors to help you have the wedding of your dreams!

High-speed telecommunications will become faster, more efficient and cheaper to deliver when three university-based scientific developments in Britain, Italy and Canada hit the market.
The three projects demonstrate the competitiveness among universities in developing hardware for the information market. Transmission times and the price of the nano-transporters that transport the information are all set to fall for the next generation of internet users.
Scientists at Cambridge University have come up with the technology and funding to make inexpensive microchips from plastic. This is expected to have a host of applications in semiconductor devices and is being touted as a revolution in the industry.
Most semiconductors are based on silicon which, although relatively cheap, must undergo complex production processes. The Cambridge technique is based on a family of exotic plastic materials. While scientific details remain under wraps, it is thought the semiconductors are built using techniques related to ink-jet printing, a common industrial process.
Meanwhile, Italian physicists may have taken a step towards the creation of a silicon laser. Until now, lasers and silicon were unlikely partners in opto-electronics, the marriage of electronic and light-based technology used for products such as CDs.
With silicon, the energy gets squandered. But Lorenzo Pavesi of the University of Trento and his colleagues have found that it can emit light if it is cut into very small pieces. If it is fashioned into wires, sheets or lumps measuring just a few nanometres (millionths of a millimetre) across, it begins to glow when electrically stimulated. Using this discovery, the Italians have managed to wring something close to a laser-like emission from silicon.
Colombo Bolognesi, an engineering professor at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada, agrees that silicon lasers could be a turning point. "That's the holy grail for the silicon people," he said. His team, on the other hand, has been working with compound semi-conductors, an area that is seen as the biggest competitor to silicon.
He and physicist Simon Watkins have developed a transistor that allows optical-fibre transmissions of nearly 100 billion bits a second - up to 40 times faster than high-speed telecom systems. They have created the world's fastest double heterojunction bipolar transistor, a microscopic device that controls signals transmitted on optical fibres.
Professor Bolognesi's team uses microscopic crystals with specially engineered chemical, optical and electrical properties. Watkins grows the microscopic crystals one atomic layer at a time by condensing gas mixtures.
"The crystal properties are intimately connected with the devices' performance, so a close feedback between the two groups was necessary to achieve the high (transistor) speeds," Dr Watkins said. This will help improve mobile phone circuits, reducing battery use and increasing talktime.

I re-read this book not long ago in anticipation of Smith's new novel Swing Time (now released). The first time I read it I didn't live in London (where the book is based) and now having moved here I felt it was high time for a re-read.
First published in 2000, Smith's depiction of London is still relevant today. Smith deals with a wide range of issues from the relationship between religion and science to society, identity and race.
As many reviewers note, it is difficult to summarise the plot of this book. Quite frankly, I think that is because there isn't really one. This, I believe, is Smith's intention. We join two families from Bangladesh and Jamaica living in Willesden Green, London. The way Smith invokes the internal and external struggles of first and second generation members of the families living in a new country is (coming from a second generation Indian) unquestionably perceptive.
The epigraph: "What's past is prologue" taken from Shakespeare's The Tempest sets up the theme of the book and reference to the title: White Teeth. The way I read this book is that you are founded by your roots but that does not define you. Society does. This observational novel is right on the money and that is probably down to Smith's own heritage (being second generation Jamaican).
Despite the sheer breadth of this book in dealing with heavy issues, it is light hearted and at times extremely funny. For example, the Muslim extremist group whose acronym ends up as KEVIN (Keepers of the Eternal Vigilance of the Islamic Nation). Inspired.
Another way I read this book was how the children cope with the absence of a strong father figure. The two main fathers in the book are either having a mid-life crisis or fading into the shadows not wanting to rock the boat. The book is full of strong independent women who at times feel threatened by the other but in the end all congregate for the sake of the wayward children.
The fact that there is no discernible storyline is what makes this book brilliant. Considering this was Smith's debut written when she was studying for her final year at Cambridge this is a work of art and her novels get better and better from here. As you can probably tell – I absolutely adore Smith's novel (more blog posts due on this shortly!) so much so that I am going to a book reading of Smith's new novel at London Review Bookshop (my favourite bookshop in London) tomorrow night which I cannot wait for! I will likely write a post on that event if that is of interest?
What were your thoughts on the book? Did you think the lack of a plot affected it?
Recommended for: those who enjoy observational literature
Rating: 4/5
Favourite quote: When describing the significant of one of the fathers in the"Greater Scheme of Things could be figured long familiar rations: Pebble: Beach. Raindrop: Ocean. Needle: Haystack."
Thanks very much for reading – I hope you enjoyed it!

Happy summer, friends! I'm sharing a guest post today on how to celebrate Ordinary Time during the summer months, written by Sarah Bereza. Sarah is a church musician in Ohio and writes her own blog at musicandthechurch.com, where she shares research on Christianity and music. Enjoy! - Ashley
Summer can often feel like an ordinary, even dull, part of the church year. Choirs are usually on break, and there may be a dip in church attendance.
In fact, the time between Pentecost and Advent, as well as the time between Epiphany and Ash Wednesday, is known as "Ordinary Time" in some Christian denominations to distinguish the "ordinary" parts of the year from seasons of celebration (like Christmas) and penitence (like Lent).
But Ordinary Time doesn't have to mean ordinary worship. Fortunately, there are many creative, musical ways to make the "everyday" season of the year special and meaningful in its own way.
Celebrating Ordinary Time During the Summer Months
Would you like the congregation to learn new songs?
Have a Hymn of the Month Club and learn a few new songs over the summer. Here are a few suggestions to help your congregation learn new hymns before and during services.
Are choral singers or instrumentalists in town?
If choral singers are in town, do easy anthems on a few Sundays (or all the Sundays, if that's an option) with just a rehearsal before the service. You might even catch folks who would love to sing during the rest of the year but can't make it to weekly rehearsals. If singing anthems isn't feasible, the vocalists might enjoy strengthening the congregational singing by singing parts or a descant.
Summer is also a great time to invite instrumentalists in your congregation to share their gifts and to bring in guest musicians from your local community. You may be able to form an ensemble on a given Sunday, but solo instrumentalists can be both enjoyable for the congregation and easier to schedule in the summer.
Related Post: 12 Easy Anthems for Your Summer Choir
Can you assemble a vocal ensemble for one Sunday?
If your church's liturgy allows, hold a hymn sing during a service by increasing the number of hymns and having the ensemble sing an anthem that invites congregational participation. R. Vaughan William's "All People That on Earth Do Dwell," Raney's "God of Grace and God of Glory," and Haugen's "Shepherd Me, O God," are all successful with only piano/organ and choir. (Learning an anthem like one of these could also jump-start the choir's return in the fall by providing a piece they could sing again, especially if other instrumental forces would be available.)
Do you have young musicians?
Have a Youth Sunday where youth and older children provide service music and leadership. Or, if their schedules don't line up, schedule them on a few Sundays throughout the summer and make a note of this event in the bulletin.
Do you have a small congregation?
Program everyone's hymn favorites through the summer. Besides in-person communications, you can ask church members to submit their favorite hymns via a slip of paper in the offering plate or a message with the church office. If your church uses a bulletin, make a note of which hymns are favorites. And be sure to let people know when you're programming their favorite hymn so they make plans to be there that Sunday!
Does your church hold annual summer events?
Program music that coordinates with the events' themes. For example, if your church participates in a community festival, choose hymns on Christian unity and neighborliness such as "In Christ There is No East or West," "We Are One in the Spirit," "Blest Be the Tie That Binds," and "The Church of Christ Cannot Be Bound."
If you have a choir, Molly Ijames' cheerful setting of the recently-written congregational hymn "Oh, How Good It Is" could provide a foundation for the congregation to learn a new hymn.
Does your church observe civic holidays?
Depending on your church's denomination, it may be appropriate for the service music to reflect holidays like Independence Day and Labor Day. You might also consider doing one of these services outdoors on the church grounds. Invite the congregation to bring their friends and family (and some lawn chairs!) and stay afterward for a church-wide picnic with live music by some local community groups - bluegrass, jazz, a vocal trio, etc.
Are YOU the only musician for the entire summer?
Pick a composer and play his/her music for all the instrumental music over the course of several Sundays. Give those Sundays a name! For example, a "Bach in the Summer" series. Make a note of upcoming Sundays in the series so the congregation can look forward to the music you've chosen.
Trying New Things
The summer can be a good time to refresh both musicians and congregation by experiencing different musical styles. If your liturgy allows, it can also be an opportunity to engage with other art forms like poetry and visual art, especially if these are mediums of worship that your congregation is less familiar with.
Celebrating into the Fall
When vacation-season quiets down and choir is back in session, you will likely find more church events that mark the time. For instance, October or November is a perfect time for a month-long emphasis on hymns from your denomination's history, especially if the Protestant Reformation will be observed in your church.
Then, it's Thanksgiving and Advent, and the church year starts afresh!
How do you celebrate Ordinary time during the summer months?

If --updateall action is specified, authconfig must be run by root and all configuration files are written. The --probe action instructs authconfig to use DNS and other means to guess at configuration information for the current host, print its guesses if it finds them, to standard output, and exit. The --restorebackup, --savebackup, and --restorelastbackup actions provide a possibility to save and later restore a backup of configuration files which authconfig modifies. Authconfig also saves an automatic backup of configuration files before every configuration change. This special backup can be restored by the --restorelastbackup action. If --nostart is specified (which is what the install program does), ypbind or other daemons will not be started or stopped immediately following program execution, but only enabled to start or stop at boot time. The --enablenis, --enableldap, --enablewinbind, and --enablehesiod options are used to configure user information services in /etc/nsswitch.conf, the --enablecache option is used to configure naming services caching, and the --enableshadow, --enableldapauth, --enablekrb5, and --enablewinbindauth options are used to configure authentication functions via /etc/pam.d/system-auth. Each --enable has a matching --disable option that disables the service if it is already enabled. The respective services have parameters which configure their server names etc. The algorithm used for storing new password hashes can be specified by the --passalgo option which takes one of the following possible values as a parameter: descrypt, bigcrypt, md5, sha256, and sha512. The --enablelocauthorize option allows to bypass checking network authentication services for authorization and the --enablesysnetauth allows authentication of system accounts (with uid < 500) by these services. When the configuration settings allow use of SSSD for user information services and authentication, SSSD will be automatically used instead of the legacy services and the SSSD configuration will be set up so there is a default domain populated with the settings required to connect the services. The --enablesssd and --enablesssdauth options force adding SSSD to /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/pam.d/system-auth, but they do not set up the domain in the SSSD configuration files. The SSSD configuration has to be set up manually. The allowed configuration of services for SSSD are: LDAP for user information (--enableldap) and either LDAP (--enableldapauth), or Kerberos (--enablekrb5) for authentication. Please note that even though these options alone do not trigger any change in SSSD configuration files this may not be true if any of these options is used in conjunction with other options such as --enableldap or --updateall. In case SSSD does not support some feature of the legacy services that are required for the site configuration, the use of the legacy services can be forced by setting FORCELEGACY=yes in /etc/sysconfig/authconfig. The list of options mentioned here in the manual page is not exhaustive, please refer to authconfig --help for the complete list of the options. For namelist you may substitute either a single name or a comma- separated list of names. NOTES The SSSD service is enabled and possibly started by authconfig when at least two of the following three conditions are met: 1) /etc/sssd/sssd.conf file exists (or is configured via the implicit SSSD support) 2) SSSD authentication is enabled (pam_sss.so is used in PAM configuration) 3) SSSD is enabled for user identity (nsswitch.conf contains sss) When --update action is used the enablement or disablement and possible restart of services happens only in case the changed configuration options affect the service to be restarted. This means that if for example the ypbind service is enabled with authconfig --update --nostart --enablenis but not started and you run the same command without the --nostart later the ypbind service will not be started because no configuration change affecting ypbind happened. RETURN CODES authconfig returns 0 on success, 1 on backup operation errors, 2 if not running with sufficient privileges, 3 if unknown password hash algorithm is specified or incorrect values are set for password strength checking (this error is non fatal), 4 if download of CA certificate fails, 5 if writing configuration files fails on --updateall action, 6 if writing fails on --update action, 7 if Winbind domain join fails. FILES /etc/sysconfig/authconfig Used to track whether or not particular authentication mechanisms are enabled. Currently includes variables named USESHADOW, USEMD5, USEKERBEROS, USELDAPAUTH, USEWINBIND, USEWINBINDAUTH, USENIS, USELDAP, and others. /etc/passwd /etc/shadow Used for shadow password support. /etc/yp.conf Configuration file for NIS support. /etc/sysconfig/network Another configuration file for NIS support. /etc/ldap.conf /etc/nss_ldap.conf /etc/pam_ldap.conf /etc/nslcd.conf /etc/openldap/ldap.conf Used to configure nss_ldap, pam_ldap, nslcd, and the OpenLDAP library. Only the files already existing on the system are modified. /etc/krb5.conf Used to configure Kerberos 5. /etc/samba/smb.conf Used to configure winbind authentication. /etc/nsswitch.conf Used to configure user information services. /etc/login.defs Used to configure parameters of user accounts (minimum UID of a regular user, password hashing algorithm). /etc/pam.d/system-auth Common PAM configuration for system services which include it using the include directive. It is created as symlink and not relinked if it points to another file. /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac Contains the actual PAM configuration for system services and is the default target of the /etc/pam.d/system-auth symlink. If a local configuration of PAM is created (and symlinked from system-auth file) this file can be included there.

DNA library is the collection of DNA fragments of entire or partial genome of an organism that are cloned separately while attached to a suitable vector inside a host cell. DNA library is analogous to an academic library where each clone carrying a particular DNA fragment is similar to a book and the number of cells of a single clonal culture in a culture vessel is analogous to the number of books of that particular book. DNA libraries of a variety of organisms have been constructed, e.g., E. coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Bacillus subtilis, Drosophila (fruit fly), Arabidopsis (a higher plant), etc., which are used for various purposes, like, isolation of a desired gene or DNA fragment, study of the structure of genes, regulation of genes, genome mapping, etc. with the help of specific probes. The DNA library is of the two types:
1. Genomic DNA Library
Genomic DNA library (gene bank) of an organism is the collection of cloned random DNA fragments covering the entire genome that may contain both introns (do not contain any information of amino acids and after transcription, though, they are present in Hn RNA, but, during processing they are removed to produce mRNA) and exons (sequences containing information required for protein synthesis) in eukaryotes. The genomic DNA library of an organism by shotgun method can be constructed by following the steps:
(i) Genomic DNA is extracted from the cells of an organism.
(ii) The extracted DNA is cut into random fragments of reasonable size by a particular restriction endonuclease (RE).
(iii) A suitable vector (e.g. a plasmid, a cosmid, etc.) is made linear by cutting with the same restriction enzyme to get the same complementary ends as in the genomic DNA fragments.
(iv) The two types of linear DNAs (vector and individual genomic DNA fragments) are mixed together in a culture vessel and the complementary ends of the recombinant
DNA, thus, obtained are joined together by adding the DNA ligase enzyme.
(v) These recombinant DNAs are separately introduced into a host cell (e.g. Escherichia coli) and cloned by growing in artificial nutrient medium in a culture vessel.
(vi) Thus, the individual transformed cells, each containing a genomic DNA fragment, are
inoculated at the surface of solidified nutrient medium in a Petri plate and allowed to grow into separate colonies (clones). Individual colonies can also be transferred into the liquid medium in separate culture vessels. The set of cloned DNA fragments from the entire genome of an organism maintained separately in host cells constitutes the genomic DNA library. The number of cloned DNA fragments in a genomic DNA library increases with increase in the size of genome and the human genome comprises more than 8,00,000 cloned fragments (Fig, 12.18),
2. cDNA Library
Many organisms have very large genome and the construction of genomic DNA library in such organisms would require maintenance and screening of a large number of clones. Moreover, the fragments cloned in genomic DNA library may include introns as well that should be removed before the translation process of protein synthesis as they do not contain any information for amino acids. When such bacterial clones are utilized for the commercial production of a particular protein, the transformed host bacteria do not possess the machinery required for the processing of the HnRNA heterogeneous RNA) transcribed from that particular split gene to produce mRNA. These problems can be overcome by constructing the cDNA libraries.
cDNA is the complementary DNA (copy DNA) of mRNA that lacks introns and other undesirable nucleotide sequences. Thus, cDNA library of an organism contains only the expressed genes (cDNAs) as they are prepared from the mRNA by the following steps:
(i) Extraction of mRNAs from the cells (in unicellular organisms) or different tissues
engaged in active synthesis of proteins (in multicellular higher organisms, different genes are expressed in various tissues to give different types of mRNAs and proteins due to regulation of gene expression) to get all the possible kinds of mRNAs of an organism.
Fig 12.18 Technique of genomic DNA library formation (RE1=Restriction enzyme 1)
(ii)Addition of a primer that is made up of a short sequence of dT, causes base pairing with the complimentary sequence of poly. A tail found at the 3' end of mRNA
(iii)Addition of reverse transcriptase enzyme produces cDNA strand (complimentary to mRNA) by copying mRNA as the template and adding dNTPs at the 3' end of the primer. Thus, a double-stranded mRNA-cDNA complex is found.
(iv)Treatment with alkali or the ribonuclease enzyme (that breaks down RNAs) helps in the removal of mRNA from this double-stranded complex to form single-stranded cDNA.
(v)Now, the added DNA polymerase utilizes cDNA as template to give double strand cDNA molecule.
(vi)The hook at one end of this cDNA is removed by S1 nuclease.
(vii)A suitable vector DNA is cut with a restriction enzyme producing blunt ends (not complementary sticky ends).
(viii)Now, the cDNA and linearised vector DNA are mixed separately with a linker DNA (short double-stranded DNA molecules which are actually the restriction sites of restriction enzyme).
(ix)Addition of T4 DNA ligase (obtained from T4 bacteriophage which can ligate two double stranded DNA molecules having blunt ends) leads to the ligation of linker DNAs at the ends of cDNA and linear vector DNAs.
(x)The two DNAs are treated separately with the restriction enzyme that recognizes and cuts the attached linker DNAs to produce complementary sticky ends.
(xi)Mixing of the two DNAs leads to the construction of recombinant DNA that is introduced into a suitable host cell. Thus, the set of all the host cells transformed with a particular cDNA, constitutes a cDNA library (Fig. 12.19).
Fig. 12.19 Technique for the preparation of cDNA library.
Colony Hybridization Technique
The genomic/cDNA library can be perpetuated indefinitely and, whenever required, the desired DNA fragment, after identification by the colony hybridization method, can be retrieved using the same restriction enzyme that was used for making the recombinant DNA. In colony hybridization technique for screening of the desired clone from the genomic!cDNA library, following steps can be implemented:
i. From the master plate, containing the colonies of transformed bacterial cells constituting the genomic/cDNA library, replica plate is made which is the impression of master plate with respect to the positions of colonies of various clones.
ii. The DNAs of individual colonies are denatured (made single-stranded) in situ when DNA still inside the cells.
iii. The denatured DNAs are then southern blotted on a nitrocellulose membrane.
iv. The single-stranded DNA is then hybridized with a specific radiolabelled probe (small DNA or RNA molecules, generally single stranded) to identify the clone.
v. Then it is autoradiographed by covering and exposing the membrane with an X -ray film in dark.
vi. The identified colonies are then retrieved from the corresponding positions on the master plate (Fig. 12.20).

Do you love or hate football? Do you think the tsunami of money that has engulfed the Premier League in the ten years since Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea has destroyed grass roots football in England or brought us the most exciting league in the world? Is Wayne Rooney worth paying £250,000 a week? Is Fernando Torres?
Whatever your views football is the language of the world. Especially English Premier League football.
On my visits to Sierra Leone I have been amazed how many people watch its games by satellite. I have had the most bizarre conversations in remote and poor places about the merits of the Manager's substitution policy for my team Chelsea, or why a young player has been loaned out to a Dutch team rather than being given experience in England.
It's incongruous but wonderful, an immediate bonding and friendship that traverses culture, wealth, language and circumstance.
However nothing prepared me for Bumpetoke. I wrote about my visit to the Millione school in this impoverished small fishing village on the south coast in an earlier blog (Hyperlink). Electricity is scarce, there is no running water, the economy is subsistence. But they have Premier League football. The village hall has an old box style TV, deeper than it is tall, and outside the satellite dish on the roof looks towards the stars ready to receive another universe.
A board outside announces that day's games. When I visited they were waiting for Manchester United v Wigan and Fulham v Liverpool amongst others on a busy weekend of football.
Many kids declare their allegiance by wearing shirts of teams such as Chelsea
Western people are few and far between in places like Bumpetoke. Curious at being the centre of attention for the children my Action Aid colleague from London asked whether there had been westerners in the village before. Oh yes she was told, in the 19th century when the missionaries came.
I don't know whether it was really true that we were the first westerners since the missionaries, but the likes of Wayne Rooney and Lionel Messi are certainly the ones they know best.

I'm continually amazed at the scope of extreme metal worldwide. Metal has taken hold in the most desolate European countries, the unrelenting rainforests of South America, practically inhabitable portions of Siberia, and now, even in South Africa. The newest sounds hailing from South Africa are the intonations of a one man project known as Throne Below.
Orlok, the mastermind behind Throne Below, has recently released his debut album, "Defy, Deceit, Destroy", independently on April 18, 2013 and is single-handedly making a name for South African black metal, using social media and heavy promotion. I wasn't sure what to expect from this album when I received it. I must say, it wasn't bad at all.
Defy, Deceit, Destroy opens with a depressive instrumental, entitled "Unholy Cogitation". The downtrodden bass line and eerie guitar riffs of "Unholy Cogitation" flow right into the title track, "Defy, Deceit, Destroy". It is here, that the sound brightens. There is definitely a distinct luster emanating from the sounds found on this debut. This quality mostly strips the coldness away from the album, but adds a sort of sensitivity in contrast. There is true emotion radiating from seemingly standard tuned guitars and the vocals are a fervent cry to war gods.
I was rather disappointed, however, at the sound quality behind the drum machine. The drums wilted, weakly behind incandescent guitar sounds. That was what was missing for me on this release. There was definitely a lack of the atmosphere, so definitive of black metal, on this LP and the culprit was lackluster drumming. The blast beats were barely audible and the brightness of the guitars overpowered the sound of the drums, making the album sound a bit uplifting, which is not what one normally expects from a black metal LP. Overall though, I thoroughly enjoyed this release. I don't normally hear such good production and interesting riffing coming from a brand new one man project. Defy, Deceit, Destroy was an emotive joyride, complete with both riffs that enthralled me and lyrics that moved me. Listen for yourself. Happy Listening. Hails!

Systems and synthetic biology for the production of comodity chemicals
Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for the production of propionate. The target is to engineer the metabolic pathway known as the Wood Werkman from Propionibacteria into E. coli. The main goal of the research project is the development of a recombinant Escherichia coli strain able to produce the C3 carbon chemical propionic acid by engineering native metabolism with Propionibacteria's Wood Werkman Cycle. Simultaneously, this metabolic pathway presents the potential to increase the acyl-CoA pool in E. coli (Propionyl-Coa and Methylmalonyl-CoA).
Ricardo got his bachelor degree in Biotechnology Engineering and a masters degree in Bioprocesses by the Instituto Politecnico Nacional (Mexico). In 2013, he started a PhD aiming the use of Escherichia coli as a platform to produce propionate using metabolic engineering tools. Member of the AIChE and the Society for Biological Engineering. Recipient of the 2014 Dow Sustainability Innovation Student Challenge Award. (First Prize).

Why Daniweb? When I get stuck, I google and the rare occasion I do not find the answer on msdn library there have been a few good answers here. Never participated in a programming forum before so I thought I would start giving and not just taking. I have written many games and have experience with all the DirectX SDKs from #1 to 10. Have written many other types of apps too help improve my productivity and accuracy in my profession. Looking to have fun and too create something neat, most recent being Direct2D and DirectWrite making a poker clock and odds calculator and an RTS game of modern naval and air warfare (beginning stages in Direct3D with water, terrain and ships rendered). Anyways, looking to meet some good people here with similar interests, I hope I can1.
P.S. My alias, TheRealOrder: I have used Order as a name online (starting with BBS') since 1985. Popular word which's seems to always be taken, so I changed it to TheRealOrder. I have been asked if I have a secret plan to rule the universe like the Emperor's Order66 in Star Wars. For the conspirators theorists out there - yes!

Shifting gear and focus now with the Meralco Bolts, head coach Norman Black wants Asian import Mohammad Jamshidi to prove his worth and make a splash in his PBA debut in the upcoming Governors' Cup.
"I expect him to come and contribute, become a quality player for us so he can be part of our rotation," said Black to FOX Sports.
Black was coming from his national team duties as one of Gilas assistant coaches while the 24-year old wingman was part of the Iranian squad that recently competed in the Turin, Italy leg of the Olympic qualifier.
Though the Iranian star was fresh from a disappointing OQT campaign also, Black knows a thing or two of Jamshidi, who can be a dangerous asset for the Bolts.
Jamshidi, who is expected to arrive on Wednesday, contributed a total of 22 points, 7 assists, and 2 rebounds in Iran's 2 defeats against Greece and Mexico in the elimination.
"I've been part of the national team for quite a while now so I know he can play," added 58-year old champion coach, but noted it will be going to be a 'wait-and-see' process.
Whether Jamshidi will translate well in the Asia's oldest professional league or not, Black feels Meralco needs to pick up where they left off.
"Hopefully, the target is like what we did last conference which make it back to the semis and if we are lucky enough to get there, then will take it from there," he said on the Bolts, who hasn't drop a single tune-up game yet this break.
Black and the Bolts will take on newly-named head coach Ariel Vanguardia and the Phoenix Fuel Masters to formally kick off the start of the third conference. – By Jason Mercene

Chris Brown has dropped another mixtape "Attack the Block" on October 28th, 2016. Earlier this year, Chris Brown released a mix tape called "Before Da Trap: Nights in Tarzana." His focus on mix tapes is probably delaying the release of his most-awaited eighth full-length album "Heartbreak on a Full Moon."
The mixtape "Attack the Block" consisting 16-tracks features collaborations with some top-notch music artists like French Montana, Young Blacc, Hoody Baby, Ray J, and Young Lo.
Though, the fans are going to enjoy the mixtape as they haven't heard of him since March 2016. Yes! This is when he released the alleged first single "Grass Ain't Greener" from his eighth album "Heartbreak on a Full Moon."
Isn't it time for Chris Brown to release follow-up singles for his album? It's definitely been a while now! What's going on his mind? It's not like we don't appreciate his music contributions but he should release his album before the fans completely forget about it. Maybe, releasing a mixtape would keep the hopes alive.
However, there are some full-energy hip hop tracks in the mixtape. The typical Chris Brown style! You can stream it below or download the complete mixtape on Datpiff.Com.
